Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200: Game Changer II

"Hello, Susan, I’m sorry to call you this late..." Athena began as Susan answered the call, steeling herself to address this matter once and for all. She hoped her young friend would actually decline the offer.

"Hello, Athena... Good evening..." Susan greeted, her groggy voice suggesting that Athena had woken her from a deep sleep.

Athena inhaled softly and sidestepped out of the door when Aiden gestured for them to walk into her room to continue the call. Inside, they settled into the two chairs available, adjacent to the queen-sized bed.

"I am sorry for disturbing you at this late hour, Susan..." Athena continued, placing the phone, which was already set to loudspeaker, on the center table.

"It’s okay, Athena. I know that for you to call this late, the matter must be very urgent. What is it? Do you need my help, my expertise?"

Athena couldn’t suppress the sigh that escaped her lips at the hint of excitement in Susan’s voice as she mentioned ’help’ and ’expertise.’

The thin smile on Aiden’s lips only exacerbated it. What was there to smile about? She wondered.

"Yes, I actually do. I want you to infiltrate the Devil’s Scorpion gang as a spy. Can you do it?" She said, dropping the bombshell.

"..."

Silence greeted Athena for a couple of tense seconds. She looked at Aiden, who seemed utterly confused.

Athena sighed again and shook her head, ready to tell Susan to forget she had ever asked the question, thinking her friend had been put off by the audacious request. But then Susan spoke up, breaking the tension.

"Really? Do you mean it?" The excitement in her voice was so palpable that Aiden flashed a winning smile at Athena.

Yet, Athena remained cautious. After all, she had made a promise to the girl’s mother to keep her safe.

"Who am I impersonating? Please, someone cool, not stupid like Fiona. Please, Athena..."

Athena shot Aiden a stern look then, a silent vow in her gaze that if anything happened to Susan, she would demand repercussions from him.

Aiden nodded immediately, silently agreeing to take care of her.

"No, I don’t think she is as stupid as Fiona. As a matter of fact, she is badass, wicked, and all. About your age too. Her name is Heronica."

A pause lingered on the other end of the line. "Is she among the gang members captured by our organization?"

Athena nodded, and Aiden whispered to her, "You’re on a call..."

"Oh," She acknowledged, then spoke out loud. "Yes, she is. But don’t worry about the publicity that has garnered; we will use that to our advantage; maybe orchestrate an escape story, and all. You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll take care of it from our end..."

After a brief pause, Susan replied, "I will do it. Thanks for giving me the chance to prove my worth to the organization."

Athena shook her head. "Your worth is not decided by your actions for the organization, Susan. You are already a valued personnel. Thank you for accepting the job."

"It’s a pleasure, ma’am. I promise that I won’t disappoint you."

Athena chuckled softly, feeling a swell of emotion. "You can never disappoint me, Susan. Not even if you tried."
