His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 223
Althea barely heard August cursing beside her, because she is now seeing and understanding of something horrifying.“The Axis Gate wasn’t simply transportation.” She stated quietly. She gripped her fists tightly at the realization. “It’s engineered into a psychological movement control.”Nicholas’ instinctive understanding became far more terrifying.Velasquez watched Althea carefully now.“You see it now.” He remarked gently.She nodded faintly.“Yes.” She answered stiffly. “It’s alive.”The generals remained silent because that was the correct word.The Axis Gate adapted.Redirected.Controlled flow through pressure systems.Salcedo pointed toward Alessandro’s network.“Alessandro had gotten his hands on one part of the system years ago.” He explained and then pointed to another one. “And after studying and understanding the structure, he buried it deeper.”Reyes’ expression hardened.“Alessandro never wanted the Axis Gate active again.” He scoffed lightly. “The ba$tard thinks that

“Luca needs the Axis Gate.”The room fell silent after Reyes’ final words. The statement settled over the old prayer hall like something ancient waking beneath the earth.Althea stood unmoving beside the table, her gaze fixed on the convergence point spread across the maps while the implications slowly deepened inside her mind.Beside her, August remained unusually quiet for once, his expression shows that he understood that this had just become something far beyond mafia territory.It’s no longer about turf or retaliation.Or legacy.This was infrastructure.Control.Power hidden beneath decades of secrecy.Reyes slowly lowered himself into one of the wooden chairs near the table while Salcedo rolled another map open beside the first.An older map.Yellowed at the edges.Hand-marked.Military coded.The moment Althea saw it, her stomach tightened because the familiarity of it is undeniable. The map contained same movement lines, same pressure corridors and convergence point that Nich

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
His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 220
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
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 townhouse was quiet in the way only places fortified by money and intention could be.Althea walked towards the tall windows overlooking the river, city lights scattering across the glass like fractured stars. She stared out for a while in silence.Michael had insisted on closing the internal g

From the upper mezzanine overlooking the ballroom, Dominic watched as the Devereaux gala continued to unfold like a chessboard already mid-game.Crystal chandeliers spilled light over silk gowns and tailored suits, laughter rising and falling with practiced ease. Money moved easily here. Power even
His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 40
Althea stood before the mirror, staring at herself, unmoving, while the room buzzed quietly around her.She gently patted the deep midnight blue gown that is structured at the shoulders with a flowing hem. A gown that Helena had bought for her for the gala that August Devereaux had organized for he

PRESENT DAYDominic finally opened his eyes again and realized how much the apartment still owned him until the door clicked shut behind him upon arriving.The sound echoed soft, final against walls that had once known laughter, murmured confessions, and the quiet rustle of shared m
