His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 338
The chamber suddenly glowed.For one suspended heartbeat, no one moved.They stared as the ancient channels carved into the stone floor shimmered with pale blue light, radiating outward from the Seat in concentric circles.Even Matteo stood frozen, his chest rising heavily as he stared at the illuminated chamber.Lorenzo lowered his head."The Keepers..." He whispered, “have awakened.""NOOOOO!!!!" Matteo roared.The spell shattered.Matteo lunged at Dominic with a ferocity born not of discipline, but of desperation.The two men collided again. They crashed into one of the massive stone columns. Ancient dust exploded into the air as Dominic completely absorbed the impact before driving Matteo backward with a crushing shoulder strike."You don't deserve it!" Matteo snarled as he swung wildly. "It should have been mine!"Dominic blocked the punch, countering with a hard strike to Matteo's ribs.The older man staggered but refused to fall.Years of obsession had become his strength.Madn

No one breathed.The lantern light danced across the ancient stone chamber below, casting long shadows over the circular dais where the Seat rested in solemn silence.It was not a throne as everyone had thought.It possessed none of the extravagance kings demanded.No gold or any jewelries.No ornamentation.Its simplicity made it terrifying as it is only a dark stone worn smooth by countless hands.Everything in the chamber had been built around it. While above it is the estate, the western wing, the library and the galleries.Even Alessandro's renovations had existed only to protect this single object.Lorenzo removed his glasses slowly. “For four centuries,” he said as his voice echoed softly through the hidden passage, “no one has claimed the Seat by force."Matteo's eyes never left it."Then history is about to change." He said, his voice deep.His words had barely faded when Aurelio suddenly made a move."Now!"The command exploded through the chamber.The armed men behind him s

The cold draft continued to flow from the narrow opening in the western wall, carrying the unmistakable scent of damp limestone.Ancient cedar.Old wax.And something else.Smoke. Althea thought tightly.It was not fresh or recent.It carries the lingering trace of candles that had burned for decades.Someone had lived below.Or had continued returning there.No one spoke between them, arriving at the same realization that settled over the room like a weight.Dominic slowly reached toward the opening in the wall but stopped a few inches away."Enzo." He called out in a low voice.Enzo nodded immediately.“Got it, Dom.” He responded and motioned for the two guards.The two guards silently stepped forward, compact flashlights already in hand. One swept the beam through the narrow gap and found nothing and only darkness.The second guard crouched and examined the stone."No fresh damage." He informed lightly. He ran his fingers along the edge. "No pry marks as well as explosives. No forc

Elsewhere in the manor, Matteo stood in the western gallery.Aurelio approached quickly."We heard it." He commented. "And I’m sure, so did they. What changed?"Matteo remained motionless."The mechanism activated." He answered.Aurelio looked puzzled."But we didn't trigger anything, Unc." He pointed out calmly.Matteo's expression darkened."Exactly."For the first time that evening, flicker of uncertainty crossed his face."They're ahead of us."Back inside the music room, Althea finally stood before had the grandfather clock. She looked up and immediately observed that it was magnificent.It looked older than the manor's newest wing and even older than Alessandro's renovations.Perhaps even older than the estate itself.She examined the carved wooden case, her eyes noting very carvings carefully.Vines.Oak leaves.Lions.Family crests.Nothing unusual as she lightly traced the wood with her fingertips.Until, her fingers suddenly stopped near the base.Althea closed her eyes for

The grinding stopped.Silence reclaimed the music room and the group remained in their positions, not moving.Dust drifted lazily through the shafts of moonlight, each floating particle seeming suspended between centuries.Dominic slowly raised one hand."No one touch anything." He said calmly and quietly.But every person in the room heard the urgency beneath it.The six guards instinctively widened their positions, securing every doorway without making a sound.Enzo crouched beside the piano."It definitely came from underneath." He muttered, touching the floor before looking up at Sebastian. “I’m sure of it.”Sebastian nodded."And whatever we heard that moved," He responded quietly as he also pressed his fingertips lightly against the floor, “wasn't here."Everyone looked at him."What do you mean?" Dominic asked."The vibration." Sebastian informed as he tapped once against the timber. "It seems that it traveled.”He pointed toward the western wall."It started somewhere beneath

Across the estate, Matteo stood alone inside Alessandro's former study.The room had remained untouched since the patriarch's death. Books lined every wall while architectural sketches lay preserved beneath glass.Even Alessandro's fountain pen still rested exactly where he had left it.That alone told enough that even Luca hadn’t bothered about this room.Matteo hated this room.Not because of what it contained but of what it represented.He had searched it dozens of times over the years.Every drawer.Every shelf.Every loose floorboard.Nothing. He thought angrily."I know you're f8cking laughing at me, Sandro." He growled in a low voice as he rested both hands on the desk. "You always did enjoy being impossible."The silence answered.Then, a soft and firm knock came before Aurelio entered."They're in their rooms." He informed.Matteo nodded."They've discovered something.""You think so?""I know so." Matteo replied firmly.Aurelio frowned."What makes you certain?"Matteo walke

A firmer knock came again.Before Althea could respond, the door opened.Michael stepped in, and with him came something steady. Whenever he arrives, he brings with him something grounding that could cut through the storm she had been holding inside.“You’re neede

That made Dominic still.“What.”“The Valtieri heir does not happen by chance.” Seraphina started to explain. “It is already arranged and decided. It’s already secured.”A pause.“And if the chosen path fails…” Her eyes darkened slightly. “They’re going to create another.”Dominic’s expression hard

Dominic finally went back to the war room and the atmosphere immediately shifted with his presence.Enzo had already pulled more data from Luca’s system, projections cascading across the screens. Layers within layers, encryption wrapped around intent like armor.Michael stood close, tracking moveme

The earlier laughter in the war room had faded as Nicholas and Althea stepped away from the table. The boy had insisted on bringing the wooden knight with him, holding it carefully as though it were part of the game, he had just helped design.Before leaving, Althea had stopped in the doorway and l
