His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 231
The war room remained heavy with silence after Vincent’s final words.He controls the war before it even starts.No one said a word after that.Even Enzo remained silent, not coming up with anything to lighten the atmosphere. Because for the first time since Luca had started his move, the scale of what they were dealing with had finally become visible.It’s not a family war or revenge.Not even power alone.Luca wanted control, movement and fear.Entire systems hidden beneath the surface of society.Dominic stood motionless near the center of the table, eyes fixed on the layered maps while his mind moved rapidly ahead.Planning.Calculating.Adapting.He finally looked toward Helena.“I need a meeting with the generals.” He said in a firm tone.The room shifted immediately as it was not made a request.Helena narrowed her eyes slightly.“You’re serious.” She stated.“Yes, I am.” He replied solemnly as he straightened up. “If the Axis Gate is real, I want every remaining structure mapp

Morning arrived with tension already waiting for them when Dominic and Althea went out of their room the following day.It was not explosive or frantic but heavy and purposeful.Blackstone felt like a headquarters and no longer feels like an estate preparing for conflict.Guards moved through the halls with sharper discipline with communication lines remained active.Maps and handwritten reports had already begun piling again inside the war room before sunrise.Dominic stood beside the long table waiting for everyone to arrive, one hand resting against the edge while the other held a cup of untouched coffee that had already gone cold.He barely slept.Not after the Axis Gate.Not after realizing Althea willingly walked into the center of, it.Not after finally understanding what his father had truly been protecting all these years.The door opened behind him and Dominic looked up immediately.Althea, who went to check on Nico after breakfast, entered first.August behind her.Then Hel

Althea interrupted him this time. But not with words. She reached for the buttons of her blouse calmly and started undoing them.Dominic blinked, mid-lecture.“What the hell are you doing?!”Althea didn’t answer as she simply slipped the fabric from her shoulders slowly, her eyes never leaving his.Dominic visibly lost his train of thought.“Thea.” He warned.Still no answer as her fingers moved toward the waistband of her pants next.Dominic stared at her.Actually stared.His irritation visibly colliding with immediate distraction.“You think this is going to stop me from being angry?” He scoffed.Althea finally spoke softly.“It looks to be working.” She answered with a small smile.Dominic opened his mouth immediately then stopped because unfortunately, it is working.“Thea.” He tried warning her again, though his voice had already dropped lower.Rougher.She stepped closer.Barefoot against the floor.Calm.Dangerous in an entirely different way now.“You yelled enough already, D
His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 228
Dominic did not let go of her hand the entire way upstairs.They passed through the halls and corridors and the guards and staff immediately looked away the moment they saw Dominic’s absolutely furious expression.Althea had to double time on her feet as Dominic took long strides without even glancing at her to make sure, she’s okay. She tried pulling her hand but he only tightened his grip on her without saying anything.She stopped struggling after that and kept up with him.The door to their room slammed shut behind them with enough force to shake the frame.Althea barely had time to turn before Dominic faced her fully.His face is livid.“What,” he began sharply, “f8cking possessed you to disappear into the mountains chasing hidden war infrastructure without telling me?”Althea opened her mouth.Dominic didn’t let her answer and just wen on.“No! Actually—wait.” He continued as he dragged a hand through his hair violently. “Let’s make this worse. You took August with you. He’s no

Which was somehow worse.August noticed the shift in her expression immediately.“You’re nervous.”Althea frowned slightly.“I’m not nervous.” She argued.“You’re absolutely nervous.” He pointed out.She looked away again.“He’ll understand eventually.” She muttered.August barked out an actual laugh.“No, he won’t, Althea.” He countered and that made her glare harder at him. “He’ll understand why. But that doesn’t mean he’s not going to lose his mind first.”Althea exhaled slowly.True. She thought dreadfully.The gates of Blackstone finally appeared just after noon.Immediately, Althea noticed the difference. She saw additional guards that she knew Helena have brought from the island it with unknow tactical positioning. She noted the reinforced outer security.August muttered quietly, “She really turned the estate into a fortress.”Althea barely heard him because her stomach dropped when she saw Dominic standing near the front entrance, waiting.His arms are crossed and his expressi

The meeting with the generals lasted until dawn.The conversations did not drag unnecessarily, but because every answer revealed another layer beneath the Axis Gate.Another consequence, terrifying possibilities.By the time General Reyes finally rolled the old maps closed again, the prayer hall had grown silent with exhaustion and the weight of what they learned lingered heavily over everyone inside.Althea stood near the long table, arms folded tightly while staring down at the convergence point one final time.The Axis Core. She thought intently, her mouth in a straight and firm line. The hidden center beneath decades of blood, war, manipulation, and silence. And now Luca is moving toward it openly.Reyes approached her quietly.“You understand what happens if he gets there first.” He commented.Althea nodded once.“Yes.”“Then don’t underestimate how far he’ll go to secure it, Althea.” He advised.Salcedo stepped closer as well.“He’ll start escalating pressure soon.” He informed

The morning came dressed in normalcy.Sunlight streamed through tall windows. Servants moved quietly. Breakfast was laid out as always.Routine remained intact.Dominic woke slowly, rubbing his eyes as the remnants of a dream clinging to him like mist. His heart was already r
His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 62
Dominic was twelve when he learned that walls could whisper.He did not know it then unlike the way adults knew it. It was not fear that had sharpened into instinct.But something in him had stirred that night, making him unsettled and alert, like an animal sensing weather long before the clouds ar

No summons received.It was not the kind that will be delivered through intermediaries or wrapped in veiled threats. The Valtieri family did not waste ceremony on what they considered inevitable.Only one call came directly.Dominic answered on the first ring.“Dominic.” Seraphina stated on the oth
His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 60
There were no alarms.No urgent calls placed to Dominic’s private line for sudden confrontations.The discovery arrived the way all dangerous truths did in the Valtieri family. It came quietly, inevitably, through data that could not be persuaded to forget.Blood had entered the system and once log
