2026-01-06 14:00:02The 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 racing before he fully opened his eyes.
He heard the sound echoing in his head again. That sharp, unfamiliar crack that had he had heard when he had woken up around midnight. He was sure it was

The evening settled gently over Blackstone. The kind of quiet that didn’t erase what had happened but softened its edges.Althea carried a sleeping Nicholas in her arms as they walked down the corridor. He had fallen asleep halfway through their story inside the study.After requesting Mimi to bring all his dinosaurs back to his room, she picked him up and gently settled her on her bosom. His one hand gripped the wooden knight; the only thing he hadn’t let go of.One arm looped loosely around her neck, the other still clutching the knight, his cheek resting against her shoulder. His breathing was slow now.But even in his sleep, he held onto her tightly.As if afraid she might disappear.Althea adjusted her hold just slightly, careful not to wake him.“It’s alright.” She whispered, more to herself than to him.Dominic walked beside her, quiet.Watching.Not interfering.Because there was something about this moment that didn’t need words.Only presence.They finally reached his room a

By the time Dominic left the war room, the plan was already in motion as the men started discussing the advantages and disadvantages, strategies and alternatives.Enzo remained behind to monitor the system.Michael went out ahead of Dominic to discuss a patient with Helena and would return later.Sebastian and August had dispersed, each carrying their own thoughts, their own recalculations.But Dominic didn’t follow them, turning to a different direction. He calmed himself for a while as he knew that shifting from war to stillness is never easy and right now, he chooses the stillness.He walked towards the direction where it is quieter and that mattered more.The garden was alive with late morning light. It added softness, warmth and unthreatening, which contrasts deliberately to everything inside Blackstone.Althea was already there, seated on the low stone bench beneath the trees, her posture relaxed but her eyes attentive.Nicholas sat on the grass a few feet away, his dinosaurs sc

The next day came without ceremony, and the war room immediately came alive when Dominic stepped inside.Screens lit up in sequence and the data streams immediately reconnected. Luca’s system stretched across the central display once more, layered and deceptive, waiting to be challenged again.This time, they weren’t walking in blind.Enzo was already at his station, fingers moving across the console with practiced speed.“System’s still unstable since from last night’s breach, Boss.” He reported patiently. “He patched some of it, but not cleanly. There are still gaps.”Michael stood nearby, arms crossed casually, watching the projections stabilize.August remained slightly behind, observing the structure.Sebastian, as always standing at one side, silent.Watching everything.Dominic stepped forward.“Show me the convergence point, Enzo.” He ordered calmly.The screen shifted instantly.The lines collapsed inward and the node appeared.It was clean, central and tempting.Enzo nodded

Althea didn’t speak for a long while as she stayed in Dominic’s arms.The silence between them had changed, not heavy, not sharp but fragile. Like something carefully held together, one wrong word away from breaking.Dominic stayed where he was.Waiting.Because now he understood that when she spoke like a while ago, it wasn’t just explanation.It was memory.“I checked on him.” She said quietly.Dominic’s chest tightened.“Nico?”Althea nodded.“He was afraid.”The word settled deep.Dominic looked down briefly, jaw tightening.“I didn’t mean to—”“I know.” She pressed. She did not sound angry or soft. She sounded tired and she paused for a while. “It took a while. He wouldn’t stop asking why I raised my voice.”Her fingers curled slightly in her lap.“I had to sit with him. Explain it slowly. Carefully.” A faint breath escaped from her. “He kept looking at me like he was trying to figure out if I was still me.”Dominic didn’t interrupt.“And then he asked me something.” She added.D

The room was quiet when Dominic entered.The atmosphere felt heavy despite the silence.Dominic sat beside Althea on the edge of the bed, the silence between them carrying everything that had just happened. Nicholas’ voice still lingered in his mind. The way the boy had looked at them. The way their son’s voice lowered at Althea’s anger.Dominic hadn’t shaken it.Neither had she.Althea’s hands were clasped tightly in her lap, her fingers pressed together as if holding something fragile in place. Her gaze was fixed ahead, but Dominic knew her mind is not fully in the room or in the situation a while ago.He didn’t interrupt.Didn’t rush her.Because whatever she was holding back, he knows that it matters.A long breath left her.“They didn’t just notice it.” She finally said quietly.Dominic frowned slightly.“What?”Althea blinked once, grounding herself.“My parents.” She clarified calmly. “When they realized that I was different.”Dominic leaned back slightly, giving her space.“Ho
His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 156
The war room was empty when Dominic returned.Empty in the way a place feels when it’s waiting to be used again. Screens glowed in low pulses. Data streamed in quiet loops. Luca’s system that Enzo managed to hack stretched across the main display like something alive, layered, deceptive, waiting to be understood or weaponized.Dominic stepped in and closed the door.He didn’t call anyone.Didn’t need anyone.Not yet.He set the tablet down, then press a button on the console to bring the system back up in full projection. The lines unfolded and the nodes lit up. The connections reassembled into motion.And this time, Dominic didn’t look at it the same way.He zoomed first into the convergence point that Nicholas had found.It was clean, elegant and logical.They all pass through this one. Dominic’s jaw tightened slightly as he remembered his son’s words.“You were right, Nico.” He murmured.Because Nico had been the one to see it, anyone in that room would have agreed.But now, this
