His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 215
The war room became alive again within minutes.Everything inside Blackstone moved with the kind of discipline born from surviving violence for decades.Men entered quietly.Weapons checked.Routes reviewed.Names rewritten.At the center of it all, Dominic stood unmoving beside the table, one hand braced against the maps spread beneath the dim lights.The reports Sebastian and Enzo brought sat open beside Alessandro’s network files, the markings now more complicated than before.Because Luca had started moving openly and purposefully.“He accelerated after last night.” Sebastian said as he traced several points along the map. “Three peripheral contacts shifted positions before dawn.”Antonio leaned closer.“Toward the convergence lines?” He questioned.Sebastian nodded.“Yes.”“F8ck.” Antonio muttered. He looked at Dominic. “We should have moved as well.”Dominic’s gaze remained fixed on the routes.“He felt the shift.” He commented. “But, I’m f8cking sure he still won’t reach it. We

Morning arrived too quietly for the kind of fear Althea and Dominic had carried into the night.The curtains shifted gently from the soft wind slipping through the slightly opened balcony doors, pale sunlight stretching slowly across the room from the gaps on the boarded windows. It touched the tangled sheets, the discarded clothes on the floor, the crumpled paper still resting on the bedside table beside Dominic’s gun.Nicholas’ drawing.Althea woke first.Her eyes opened slowly as awareness settled back into her body, and the first thing she felt was Dominic’s arm around her waist.His arm was heavy and protective.Possessive even in sleep.She remained still for a moment, listening quietly to the steady rhythm of his breathing against the back of her neck.But the moment her gaze shifted toward the bedside table toward the folded paper Dominic had stared at half the night, the tightness returned to her chest immediately.Nicholas.The drawings.The patterns.The terrifying brillian

The room had long fallen quiet by the time Althea finally stopped trying to outrun her own thoughts.Outside, Blackstone remained awake.Guards moved through the estate.The war room still carried light beneath its doors.Somewhere in the medical wing, Helena was likely still operating.But inside their room, Time had slowed into something heavy and intimate.The sheets were tangled around them again, the air warm, carrying the lingering scent of skin, soap, and exhaustion.Dominic lay against the headboard now, one arm wrapped securely around Althea as she rested against his chest, her breathing finally beginning to steady after everything she had poured into him.Or maybe, into herself.For a while, neither of them spoke.Dominic’s fingers moved lazily along her bare shoulder, grounding more than teasing now.Althea’s hand is on his chest, her fingers drumming lightly.He had stopped teasing her after the second time she kissed him like she was afraid of losing him.Because he under

Althea kissed him again before Dominic could ask another question.Harder this time and with a bit of need.She kissed him like that because she wants to silence every thought inside her head through the warmth of his mouth against hers.Dominic caught her immediately, his hands settling firmly at her waist as she pressed herself against him. He could feel the tension in her body beneath the urgency, the way she clung to him not out of desperation, but out of needing something real.Something solid.Something alive.“Thea…” He murmured softly against her lips, trying once more to search her face.But Althea only shook her head and kissed him deeper.“No talking, Dom.” She whispered breathlessly. “Not yet. It could wait.”That finally made Dominic stop asking.A faint exhale escaped him, almost amused, almost helpless.“You’ve become bold, amore.” He muttered lightly as his hands slid slowly along her back. He unfastened the hook of her bra and watched it fall on the floor since it has

The walk back to her room felt longer and heavier than it should have.Althea moved through the halls quietly, but her mind continued to work.Nicholas’ drawings.The patterns.The way her mother had aligned the papers so calmly. Marianna’s action conveyed that she had expected something like that all along.And worst of all, the familiarity.The moment Althea saw one of Alessandro’s structures reflected instinctively in her son’s interpretation of fear and movement.It unsettled her more than the attack itself because gunfire could be stopped. Men could be killed and wars could end.But a mind like Nicholas’ would only continue evolving.Her chest tightened slightly and she stopped for a while, breathing in and out slowly and deeply before continuing on. Before she realized it, she was already pushing the door open to their room.Dominic was there.Of course he was.He stood near the window, sleeves rolled slightly, one hand resting against the desk as several papers lay spread besid

Nicholas didn’t want to stop talking and that unsettled Althea the most.Not the drawings.Not the patterns.Not even the frightening precision hidden beneath the innocent way he explained movement and strategy.It was the excitement especially the way his eyes brightened when he connected things. He looked so proud when he discovered something that others missed.She had seen that look before.In mirrors.“Mama!” Nicholas said, still kneeling beside the scattered papers. “I think they wanted the loud sounds first because—”“That’s enough for now, sweetheart.” Althea interrupted gently.Nicholas blinked at her in surprise and his face suddenly became perplexed at her interruption.“But I’m not done.” He pointed out.Her chest tightened because she knew that his mind was still moving, processing and building.Marianna watched quietly from beside the table, her expression unreadable in the soft afternoon light.Althea forced herself to smile slightly.“You need to rest.”Nicholas frowne

Dominic did not wait for permission.He got out of his car and stormed towards the mansion, his striders angry and with purpose the following day. The staff barely had time to greet him or sent a notice towards the elders inside the chamber. Enzo and two of his men followed closely.
His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 43
After saying goodnight to Michael, Althea closed the door behind her softly to her room, as if any sound louder than a breath might fracture what little steadiness she had left. She leaned on the door for a while.Michael’s footsteps retreated down the hall. He never followed her into this

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
