REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 80: The Price She Named
The rain had not stopped by the time we returned to the hotel. Security teams checked the suite twice before allowing us inside. Alexander spoke briefly with Thomas, then locked the door himself and set his phone on the table within easy reach. I stood near the window watching the wet streets below, knowing Ella was still somewhere in the same darkness.The call came at 2:17 a.m.Alexander’s phone lit up with an unknown number. He glanced at me, then answered and put it on speaker.A familiar voice filled the room—calm, cold, and unmistakably Ella’s.“Hello, Alexander.”He went very still. “Where are you?”“Close enough,” she answered. “Close enough to watch the police run in circles at that empty factory. Close enough to know you brought her with you.”My stomach tightened. Alexander’s eyes met mine across the table.Ella continued without waiting. “I am tired of playing games. You already cost me weeks of planning and two useful people. So I will make this simple. You will sign ov
REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 79: Still Hunting
Night settled over the city while the search for Ella Monroe spread outward in every direction. Roadblocks checked cars on the main highways. Helicopters circled the industrial edges of town. Detective Harris’s updates came in short, frequent calls—each one reporting the same result. No confirmed sighting. No clear trail after the abandoned sedan.Alexander had moved us to a high-floor suite in a secure hotel under heavy private security. Beatrice remained in the hospital’s protected unit with officers at her door. I sat near the window of the suite while Alexander spoke quietly with Thomas and two of his most trusted men. Maps and phone logs covered the table. The city lights beyond the glass looked ordinary, almost peaceful, but I knew better. Ella was out there somewhere in the same darkness.I watched the streets and tried to steady my breathing. She had already proven she could reach through walls, through staff, through prison itself. The short peace we had felt earlier that d
REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 78: The Call That Changed the Afternoon
We were still sitting in the small hospital meeting room when Alexander’s phone rang. Detective Harris’s name filled the screen. Alexander answered and put the call on speaker without hesitation. I leaned closer.Harris’s voice was tight and stripped of its usual control. “Mr. Kane. Miss Hart. I need you both to listen carefully. Ella Monroe is no longer in custody.”The words landed between us like a stone dropped into still water. Alexander’s hand tightened around the phone. I felt the blood leave my face.“Explain,” Alexander said.Harris drew a breath. “Two hours ago the women’s wing began a scheduled deep clean. Every prisoner was moved into the main corridor under guard so the cells could be stripped and sanitized. During the movement, a female officer—Officer Dana Ruiz—unlocked a side service door that leads to the staff parking area. Ella walked out with her.”I stared at the phone. The ordinary afternoon light coming through the window suddenly felt too bright.“Ruiz had be
REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 77: The Second Device
The words from Detective Harris stayed with me long after I left the station.Ella was in custody. The attacks had a name and a face. But her lawyer had mentioned a second encrypted device—one she called “insurance.”I returned to the hospital and sat with Beatrice. She was stronger today. When I told her Ella had been arrested and that her own name would be fully cleared, tears of relief filled her eyes. She held my hand for a long time and whispered that she had never doubted my heart, even when the world seemed determined to break us both.Alexander did not come to the hospital that afternoon. He respected the space I had asked for. His messages remained short and careful: updates from the detective, confirmation that Beatrice’s records were being formally cleared, and one quiet line that read, *I am still here when you are ready.*I did not reply at once.Late in the evening Detective Harris called again. His voice was more urgent than before.“We located the second device,” h
REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter 76: The Face Behind the Threats
The call from Detective Harris came just after sunrise. I was still at the hospital, sitting beside Beatrice’s bed, when my phone rang. Alexander’s name appeared first in a separate message: *They have her. Come to the station. You need to hear this.*I arrived with two officers. Alexander was already in the meeting room. The distance between us remained, but the urgency in the air made it feel smaller. Detective Harris stood at the head of the table with a thick file and a laptop.“We have identified the woman,” he said without delay. “The voice analysis, the final money trail, and a recovered encrypted phone all point to the same person. Ella Monroe—Alexander Kane’s former fiancée.”The name landed hard. I looked at Alexander. His face was pale and set, but he did not look surprised. Only grim.Harris continued. “She used David Blackstone’s old accounts and forged links to Mrs. Beatrice’s care providers to hide her own involvement. She hired the drivers, the poisoner, and the peop
REPLACED WITH THE SURROGATE, CHOSEN BY THE BILLIONAIRE Chapter Fourteen: Between Heartbeats
The first thing Alessandro felt was pain.It settled deep in his bones, heavy and relentless, making every breath feel like a struggle. His head throbbed, and a dull ache spread from the side of his neck where the needle had pierced his skin.He tried to move.A sharp groan escaped his lips instead."Don't."The voice was barely above a whisper.Soft.Gentle.His eyelids fluttered open.At first, everything was blurred. The ceiling above him was cracked, and a single beam of sunlight slipped through a broken window, scattering dust across the room.Then his vision slowly cleared.Sofia was sitting beside him.Her hair had fallen loose around her shoulders, and the sleeve of her blouse was torn. A bruise darkened one side of her face, and dried blood stained the edge of her cuff.Yet despite the exhaustion etched across her features, the moment she saw his eyes open, relief washed over her face."You scared me."Her voice trembled.Alessandro tried to sit up.The room spun violently.H
