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.

“She went inside the Devereaux’s complex. Security sought clearance first and was approved,” he said over the secure line. “Althea’s clinic. She’s still inside as of now.&

  • His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride   CHAPTER 221

    The decision moved quickly after Althea and August went out of the library and proceeded to the medical wing to talk with Helena.But there was no time left for hesitation anymore.Althea found herself standing inside one of Helena’s secured communication rooms build within the medical wing together with August. The room itself looked nothing like the war room upstairs.This room is patterned from the one in her island where calls are being made to secure an operation schedule.No maps spread across tables.No weapons.No visible strategy.Only quiet.Old telephones.Handwritten ledgers of names that carried enough weight to move armies without ever appearing in public records.Helena stood near the desk, already dressed for surgery again, dark circles visible beneath her eyes despite her usual composure.One of the surgical teams waited outside for her.The patient couldn’t wait.Neither could the war.“You’re sure about this?” Helena asked quietly.Althea nodded once.“We don’t have

    Althea stared at the maps for several long seconds after Nicholas’ explanation. Her pulse continues to pound hard against her ribs, the realization settling deeper and deeper with every breath she took.It’s not a stronghold or headquarters. She thought intently, frowning. Not even a weapons route! An infrastructure of movement and control.Dominic’s father had hidden the center of both networks behind layers of conflict and misdirection so thoroughly that even her husband’s people only saw fragments of it.And Luca had been moving toward it this entire time.Nicholas shifted slightly in her arms.“Mama?” He called out with curiosity and concern.The softness in his voice snapped her out of the spiral immediately.Althea looked down at the little boy whose mind had just solved something seasoned men had been circling around for years.And all she could feel was a protective, overwhelming and terrifying love.Her expression softened completely as she pulled him closer and kissed his f

    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

    By the time the sun dipped lower, staining the sky in rose and amber, August had finally settled enough to sit. The pacing stopped, replaced by comfortable chatter with the nurse on duty about discharge notes and future check-ups.Michael assisted his father when his father was told to go back to h

  • His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride   CHAPTER 16

    The room still smelled faintly of antiseptic and salt from the ocean breeze that slipped through the cracked window. The afternoon sun spilled across the tiled flooring, warming the room in a soft, golden glow.August Devereaux, who had stared down his mortality only a few days earlier, now walked

  • His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride   CHAPTER 15

    The clinic did not rest for a single breath after August Devereaux awakened and had spread like wildfire. His survival rippled outward like a shockwave. Helicopters came and went. Diplomats called hourly that Helena had to hire additional staff to take calls. Requests poured in from all corners of

  • His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride   CHAPTER 14

    Three days later, the prominent figure had finally awakened.The sun had barely risen above Helena’s private island when the most powerful security convoy Althea had ever seen descended on the clinic grounds. Black cars lined the driveway. Armed personnel stood like statues. The atmosphere crackled
