His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 288
The locker room’s large and private toilet sat empty and quiet as Althea entered and walked towards the lavatory counter. She placed her toiletries gently and for a few minutes sat on the bench provided, breathing in and out slowly and deeply.After twenty minutes, Althea finally stood up and started to wash her face, feeling the cold water on her face, refreshing her face and then gently pressing her knuckles on her closed eyes, massaging them.Once she had freshened herself up, she changed into comfortable clothes, brushed and retied her hair.Her body still felt heavy but her mind is heavier.She reached for her bag, turned and then stopped immediately.She stiffened, gripping her fist because something changed. She had still lived with the instinct of knowing something had shifted in her surroundings.The air.A feeling.Someone’s here. She thought tightly and every instinct she possessed awakened instantly.The room no longer felt empty and she slowly turned the knob of the door

At six thirty in the morning, Althea’s already wide awake and dressed.The sun had barely risen over Blackstone, the estate still quiet and peaceful.She stood in front of the mirror inside their room, tying her hair into a neat bun, knowing the peace and quiet is a temporary illusion.Looking at the mirror, Dominic, behind her is already awake as well, just sitting on the bed, not moving, watching through her and thinking.Again.She could tell.Ever since his Uncle Matteo had appeared, he had become quieter.Not distant.Just quieter.More inward.The kind of silence she hated because she knew him well enough that it meant he was carrying too much.She buttoned the sleeves of her white coat and looked at him."You're doing it again." She commented softly.Dominic blinked, as he focused his gaze on her."What?" He asked."Thinking." She quipped as she turned to him.He smiled faintly."You've started diagnosing my thoughts now?" He commented lightly."I've been diagnosing your though

Blackstone was unusually quiet which usually happens when the entire is thinking instead of resting or sleeping.Thinking.The lights remained on throughout the western wing and the security teams continued to move about their usual routines.Staff members spoke in hushed voices.Even the air itself felt different.Heavy.As though the estate had sensed something had changed because something had.The moment Dominic entered the front doors; he realized one thing.Matteo wasn't bluffing and that bothered him.Not because Matteo had taken Valtieri Holdings.But because of the confidence and his absolute certainty. His uncle wasn't behaving like someone who had stolen power. He’s behaving like a man who had finally arrived at a destination.And that is dangerous.Dominic handed his coat to one of the staff members while Enzo walked beside him.Both men remained silent for several moments."You, okay, boss?" Enzo finally asked him.Dominic exhaled."No." He answered bitterly.Enzo nodded.

The smile remaine on Matteo’s face, not changing even an inch."What?" Matteo asked calmly."I’m sure that you heard me." Dominic answered with the same calm. "Step down."Matteo leaned back on his chair, studying Dominic before letting out a soft laugh."Interesting."Dominic remained silent."The company's laws are clear." He finally said, watching the smile disappear from Matteo’s face and after a while his voice turned colder. "The rightful heir is Alessandro's direct successor. The position belongs to me."The room became still for a long while before Matteo let out a smile again.F8ck you. Dominic thought, wanting to punch him very badly."Ah." Matteo finally said with a nod. "Legalities."The older man stood, walking toward the windows and looking down at the city."Tell me something, Dominic." Matteo started as he turned back to Dominic. "Who taught you that?"Dominic frowned."What?" He asked tightly."That inheritance determines power." Matteo responded.The statement irrita

Dominic had always hated towers.It was not because he was afraid of heights or disliked architecture since ironically, it has been his love. He hated towers because for him, towers are like symbols.Symbols of power.Symbols of wealth.Symbols of men who wanted the world to look up at them.Dominic remembered that his father hated them too.Alessandro once told him something like that when Dominic was around ten."Men who build towers are either trying to leave a legacy or trying to hide something."At that age, Dominic hadn't understood.But now, he understood perfectly.Especially today.The Valtieri Holdings Office Tower rose in the center of the financial district.Forty-eight floors.Glass.Steel.Stone.Elegant.Cold.Intimidating.It had always been the headquarters of all the Valtieri patriarchs. It once belonged to his father for a short time before Luca had taken over.Now it belonged to Matteo.Or at least, Matteo was pretending it did.Dominic sat in the backseat of the c

Nobody moved inside the room as they finally see what Althea is telling them about.The invisible man.The forgotten brother.The patient observer.The one nobody paid attention to.They watched as Althea wrote another word.MARGINSCircle.Then another.VISIBILITYThen she crossed it out.She turned, looking directly at Enzo."What did Aurelio say when you, guys went to interrogate him?” She asked."Alessandro was the first fracture." Enzo immediately answered."And?""Luca opened the rest."She nodded and then smiled, but not happily. "Exactly." She affirmed and remained silent for a while. She tapped the board, staring at it intently. "Aurelio wasn't talking about deaths. He was talking about vacancies."Nobody spoke nor breathed as what Althea is saying to them finally clicked.The room itself felt different from the time she flung the door open."When Alessandro died..." Althea continued as she pointed to the name and repeated the same thing to the next name. "A position opened.

The library finally grew quiet late in the evening.For the past hours, the room had been filled with maps, blueprints, theories, and questions.Questions about the hidden level beneath the Valtieri estate, about Alessandro, the Axis that seemed to lead to new questions every time they will find an

Three weeks after returning from the Axis Core, Blackstone had finally settled into a rhythm of recovery, routine and normalcy.Or at least their version of normal.The wounded men were healing and operations had resumed.Security protocols were returning to standard levels, Helena’s own men had alr

"I was afraid." Dominic blinked when she repeated her answer. Seraphina Aragon Valtieri feared almost nothing. Yet her voice didn't waver. "I watched what happened to your Uncle Luca." She finally continued slowly. "I watched obsession destroy him." The room grew quiet. "To be honest, yo

Two weeks. That was what Althea said but Dominic still finds himself recovering. According to Dominic, he had recovered eleven days ago. Today is now his eighteenth day of recovery. However, according to everyone else in Blackstone, neither opinion mattered because Dr. Althea Johnson Valtier
