His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 122
The third move came that night that was silent, surgical, and far more intimate than any strike before.At exactly 2:17 a.m., one of Blackstone’s external safehouses, discreetly repurposed as a medical relay station under Althea’s oversight, went dark.There was no explosion or any gunfire.No screams echoing through the comms.Only silence.By the time the first response unit breached the perimeter, the facility was already stripped of life. Medical carts were abandoned mid-use, half-filled syringe lay on the floor while tablets showing charts were blinking in idle mode.But the facility is empty.Every doctor.Every nurse.Every orderly.Gone. Taken. Alive.And left behind, mounted neatly on the central station wall, was a single message burned into the digital monitor. “You built a sanctuary. I turned it into a cage.”*Dominic stood in the operations room, shoulders rigid, eyes locked on the surveillance playback loop. Beside him stood Althea, who is pale, still, but upright.Comp
His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 121
The empire that Luca Valtieri inherited did not rise on noise.It rose on silence, on patience and on moves that no one saw until the results had already taken hold. It was built by Don Pietro Valtieri and one thing he had passed down to them is to have pieces to move that only one knows existed.And while Dominic gathered strength at Blackstone and Alessandro’s old network began to reawaken, Luca sat at the center of his own machine and began to move the pieces no one else even knew existed.The private war room beneath Luca’s compound glowed with a low, controlled light.Luca stood at the head of the central table and watched the rows of screens showed live feeds, financial dashboards, shipping routes, offshore accounts, and surveillance nodes that stretched across cities, ports, and borders. Nothing in Luca’s world was left unmeasured.Vittorio entered first, followed by Pablo Murdoch and two other senior advisors. A few seconds later, Aurelio walked in, the bruise on his jaw darke

The night air over Blackstone carried a tension that hummed beneath the surface. It was quiet, coiled, waiting. Even with the hour pushing deep into night, the estate did not dim.Lights still burned in the lower halls, across the courtyard, along the perimeter walls. Every beam of illumination was intentional, every shadow watched.Dominic stood in the lower study long after the others had gone. He went up a few hours ago to read Nicholas his book, said good night and watched until he had fallen asleep.The dim glow of the desk lamp cut across the sharp angles of his face, leaving his eyes in shadow. The footage had already been watched, analyzed, memorized. Every frame of it lived now in his mind. He studied the angle of the car, the timing of the interception, the posture of the man who stepped out.Roberto Douglas.He appeared not by coincidence or chance.It’s a declaration.His father’s reach had not only endured but had been reawakened.And with it, the war Dominic had held at
His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 119
Dominic is already standing at the foot of the entrance steps when the gates of Blackstone opened without delay and the SUV passed through the inner drive.His expression is controlled but the tension in his shoulders betrayed the speed at which he had moved the moment the alert came through.The vehicle came to a smooth stop. Before the engine had even fully idled, Dominic was already descending the steps, his hand reaching out when the rear door opened.Althea stepped out.For a fraction of a second, everything else faded around him. The guards, the stone walls, the comms chatter fading into background noise.Dominic’s eyes moved over her quickly. He looked at her face, hands, posture and her breathing. Through it all, Althea remained calm.She met his gaze calmly.“I’m alright, Dom.” She assured softly, as if she already knew what he was looking for.Dominic exhaled once.He stepped forward and reached for her. His one hand coming to her arm, then her shoulder, grounding himself in

Aurelio acted on his own and not sent a word to his father. He did not ask permission nor request clearance through the channels that his father is tightly controlling.He even refused to listen to his father’s main man, Vittorio. He did not consult with the Valtieri advisors, the watchers and strategists that are usually moving the pieces for the Valtieri name.For the first time in years, he acted on his own.Because this was not business.This was not logistics.This was about Althea.Since he heard from his father about the move Dominic did, he started to watch Althea.The Devereaux Medical Complex rose like a quiet fortress of its own, glass, steel, and clean white light. A place built for healing.A place that, to the outside world, held no connection to the shadows moving beneath it.But Aurelio knew better.He knew who protect it and who moved through its doors without leaving records.He knew her and had started memorizing her schedule for the past two days.Althea will be ar

That night, Nicholas, who is already in his jammies with prints of dinosaurs, wandered into Dominic’s office again. He was carrying his green, dinosaur plushie as well as his book“Papa, are we in trouble?” He asked softly.Dominic turned in his chair, stood up and pulled his son into his arms. He sat back on his chair and settled Nicholas on his lap.“No, we’re not in trouble, Nico.” He answered calmly.Nicholas studied him carefully.“You’re not mad?” He questioned again intently, his eyes looking up at him in earnest. He clutched his plushie tightly. “I didn’t mean to touch the box, Papa.”Dominic smiled faintly, pulling him gently into his chest.“You didn’t break anything.” He assured quietly.But, deep down, in truth, Nicholas had unlocked the war. It was not in the way Luca intended. He had revealed the one move Luca never accounted for.Dominic did not need the Valtieri throne because he could outgrow it.“What time are you going to sleep?” He asked, changing the subject. “Did
