Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: A Costly Prank

Athena softly heaved in deep breaths as they drew closer to the site indicated on the tracking tablet resting on her lap.

Mr. Thorne kept patting her hand at intervals to calm her down, but how could she find peace when her children might be facing unspeakable horrors right then?

The gang knew who she was; there was no telling how callous they could be toward her children now. The thought of her babies enduring even a fraction of the torment she had experienced during her last kidnapping sent shivers down her spine, making it impossible to calm her racing heart.

What would she have done without those tracking watches? It was a stroke of luck that the twins had taken to wearing trackable toy watches, just like the one they had gifted her, since her escape from that harrowing incident.

"Thank the heavens for technology," She muttered to herself, grateful for her technical know-how, which allowed her to operate their laptops and retrieve every crucial detail.

"We are here," Jake announced, his eyes focused on a nondescript, one-story building that stood before them.

The simplicity of it took Athena by surprise; it seemed too ordinary for such a sinister purpose.

As the car came to a stop, the ten vehicles behind them followed suit. Everyone spilled out, and the head agent spoke up, his tone commanding.

"You remember how this will go down, don’t you?"

Everyone nodded in affirmation.

"Then let’s go."

No one bothered to tell Athena to stay back; they all knew she wouldn’t agree. Plus, they understood she was capable—she was a force to be reckoned with, especially when it came to her children.

But Mr. Thorne’s insistence to accompany them raised some eyebrows. Though he had been a military general at one time, his age brought with it concerns.

"Okay, I’ll be with Athena. Surely she can take care of me."

Athena wanted to protest and insist that her entire focus would be on her children, but she held her tongue. If Mr. Thorne wanted to follow her into the fray, so be it.

"Let’s go," She said firmly, already heading to the position they had discussed.

Minutes ticked by as they surrounded the building. With a swift efficiency, they infiltrated the property. However, much to their dismay and confusion, the inside was eerily empty, though footprints led deeper into the structure.

Where did everyone go? Athena pondered, her heart racing as she stood at the door to a room that appeared untouched. She could already feel despair creeping in, tightening its grip.

She whispered a prayer, hoping her children were in this room as the tracker indicated. And with trembling hands, she pushed the door open.

A second later, she held back a scream, tears suddenly streaming down her face at the sight that met her: her children bound to chairs, ropes that dug cruelly into their skin. But worse still, a bomb was ominously underneath the seats.

Legs and hands shaking, she stumbled into the room, her security detail quick to follow. The air grew thick with tension as everyone froze momentarily, before bursting into action.

"Mommy!" Kate cried out. _{freёwebnovel.com}

Athena rushed toward them, yet careful to maintain a safe distance from them. "Don’t worry, my sweetheart. We’ll get you out of here. Just hold on."

Because if they didn’t, they might all be dead.

She glanced at the bomb, its design strange and unfamiliar. "Don’t worry, Nathaniel, we’ll get you out too."
