2025-12-09 14:00:00For the next two days, Althea will wake up ahead of him and started to prepare their coffee and will take her bath. She would then put a call to order room service for their breakfast. By the time the staff had arrived and placed their meal by the balcony, Dominic will be stepping out from the villa, already showered, and changed.
“You know,” she said slowly after chewing the pancake she ate. “Coming here wasn’t just about intimacy.”

His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 219
The realization wouldn’t leave Althea alone.As Nicholas continued explaining movement lines to August in his soft, thoughtful voice, while Marianna quietly observed every shift in his thinking and Benjamin listened with that same controlled calmness that reminded her too much of herself, Althea’s mind remained elsewhere.Her mind couldn’t stopped thinking about the maps.About the convergence point she and Dominic had been circling around for hours without fully understanding why it mattered.Because suddenly, Nicholas’ drawings had changed the way she looked at everything.Not emotionally but structurally.Her heartbeat slowly quickened.The routes.The pressure shifts.The intentional openings.Something was wrong.Incomplete.Before she fully realized it, Althea stood abruptly from her chair that immediately drew attention from them.August looked toward her.“What is it?” He asked. “Is everything okay, Thea?”Althea was already moving toward the door.“I need to get something.”“

The silence inside the library lingered after Nicholas returned to drawing.It was the kind of silence that came when several intelligent people arrived at the same terrifying conclusion at the exact same time.Althea remained near her parents’ table, arms folded tightly as she watched her son drag another line across the paper with complete concentration.Nicholas hummed softly, looking relax and unaware, to himself while thinking.That somehow made it worse because she knew that the danger in him wasn’t deliberate.It was natural and his instinct.August leaned back slowly in his chair beside Nicholas, his expression unreadable now as he watched the child continue mapping movements across the page.For the first time in a long while, August looked genuinely unsettled.Marianna noticed immediately.“You see it now.”August looked toward her quietly and only nodded slowly.“Yes.”Benjamin exhaled softly through his nose; his fingers loosely linked together atop the table.“He processe

The estate felt quieter, though not safer, after Dominic and the others left.Just emptier.The sound of boots and movement that had filled Blackstone earlier had faded into distant echoes, leaving behind a strange stillness that somehow felt heavier than noise.Althea stood near one of the tall windows overlooking the inner courtyard, arms folded tightly as she watched the gates close behind the departing vehicles.For several long seconds, she remained there, watching, thinking and praying for their safe return.“You’re staring like you can still stop him.”August’s voice came from behind her, calm but observant.Althea turned slightly.He stood near the doorway now, one hand tucked into his pocket, the other still lightly bandaged from the previous night’s fight.He looked tired.Older today somehow.But his eyes remained sharp.Althea exhaled quietly and looked back toward the window.“You heard everything.” She stated.August stepped farther into the room.“Hard not to.” He respo

The estate shifted into motion the moment Dominic gave the order as boots echoed through the halls, weapons being checked several times and orders being relayed.Down at the basement, vehicles are being prepared quietly, making sure every part is at its top performance.The men moved with practiced precision, their expressions grim and focused as the reality of what awaited them settled deeper into Blackstone.Althea stood near the entrance of the war room, arms crossed tightly as she watched Dominic speak one last time with Sebastian and Vincent over the maps.Even from a distance, she could see the change in him.The softness he only allowed around her and Nicholas had disappeared again beneath cold focus and strategy.The heir.The war commander.The son Alessandro had prepared whether Dominic wanted it or not.Her chest tightened briefly.Then Dominic finally turned away from the table.“Move.”The room immediately shifted.Sebastian left first together with Antonio.Enzo followed

The war room became alive again within minutes.Everything inside Blackstone moved with the kind of discipline born from surviving violence for decades.Men entered quietly.Weapons checked.Routes reviewed.Names rewritten.At the center of it all, Dominic stood unmoving beside the table, one hand braced against the maps spread beneath the dim lights.The reports Sebastian and Enzo brought sat open beside Alessandro’s network files, the markings now more complicated than before.Because Luca had started moving openly and purposefully.“He accelerated after last night.” Sebastian said as he traced several points along the map. “Three peripheral contacts shifted positions before dawn.”Antonio leaned closer.“Toward the convergence lines?” He questioned.Sebastian nodded.“Yes.”“F8ck.” Antonio muttered. He looked at Dominic. “We should have moved as well.”Dominic’s gaze remained fixed on the routes.“He felt the shift.” He commented. “But, I’m f8cking sure he still won’t reach it. We

Morning arrived too quietly for the kind of fear Althea and Dominic had carried into the night.The curtains shifted gently from the soft wind slipping through the slightly opened balcony doors, pale sunlight stretching slowly across the room from the gaps on the boarded windows. It touched the tangled sheets, the discarded clothes on the floor, the crumpled paper still resting on the bedside table beside Dominic’s gun.Nicholas’ drawing.Althea woke first.Her eyes opened slowly as awareness settled back into her body, and the first thing she felt was Dominic’s arm around her waist.His arm was heavy and protective.Possessive even in sleep.She remained still for a moment, listening quietly to the steady rhythm of his breathing against the back of her neck.But the moment her gaze shifted toward the bedside table toward the folded paper Dominic had stared at half the night, the tightness returned to her chest immediately.Nicholas.The drawings.The patterns.The terrifying brillian

The study room smelled the same.That was what Althea noticed immediately the moment she closed the door behind her.The faint mix of paper, polished wood, and Dominic’s cologne, long settled into the grain of the shelves. The room was untouched in all the ways that mattered since the last time she

The knock came without warning. Three soft, deliberate taps against the solid wood Dominic had once insisted on importing from Italy because Althea liked how it muted sound.Dominic didn’t move at the sound and just stayed silent.The city hummed outside the luxury apartment, indifferent as ever, it

The report reached Dominic before dawn.Enzo didn’t waste words.“They’ve moving, Dom.”Dominic was already standing by the window of the temporary safehouse that he recently purchased as a precaution from one of his personal contacts, the city still bruised with night. “How many?”“Enough to make

Dominic learned about Isabelle’s visit to Althea with her fiancé even before the clinic doors had fully closed its operation.The information reached him the way everything did now, filtered, precise, stripped of sentiment.Enzo didn’t ease into it.“
