Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Beggers II

Alfonso tried and failed to quell the irritation in his heart as he stepped out of Ewan’s ward.

Before Ewan had succumbed to sleep, Alfonso had tried convincing him to speak to Athena on his behalf, but Ewan had been so adamant; that he wouldn’t do such a thing, that Alfonso should plead with Athena by himself.

Fiona had been right. Alfonso thought, at ease in the well lit hallway.

Leaving Athena around Ewan was a ticking time bomb. The male was bound to be besotted with his ex wife again!

Alfonso shook his head. He couldn’t let that happen, even though he wasn’t on good terms with his daughter.

He still hasn’t forgiven her for disobeying his orders.

As a result of her impatience, he would be begging Athena for mercy too.

Alfonso exhaled harshly in annoyance. How had things gotten this bad?

He glared at Fiona.

Fiona took a step back, in fright. "I’m sorry, Dad. It won’t happen again. Next time I will follow your orders to the fullest..."

Alfonso didn’t bother giving her a listening ear. "Lead me to Athena’s office. It seems we have some groveling to do too."

Five minutes later, Alfonso was standing in Athena’s general office space.

He tried walking straight to the private office, but Ciara stopped him.

"I’m sorry sir, but you have to wait till I get a confirmation from the chief doctor..."

Alfonso frowned in distaste. "Do you know who I am?"

Ciara nodded.

She knew of Alfonso Adams, the owner of a company who ranked amongst the top thirty companies in their city, and who ranked well enough in the list of people you shouldn’t annoy intentionally...

Never mind that his success was much attributed to the contribution of Ewan Giacometti.

It was rumored that a marriage alliance between the two companies was the best there is, because it would lead to the further growth of the companies, and consequently, increase the growth of the economy.

Yet, her boss came first to her.

If Ewan Giacometti respected her boss, then Alfonso should do the same.

"I’m aware of your status, Mr. Alfonso, but I have to go through the protocols. I’m still under the chief doctor. You can take up your grievances with her." Although I wouldn’t dare do that if I were you.

She pointed at the chairs to the other side of the office space. "You can have your seat there while I confirm..."

Alfonso opened his mouth to argue again, but Fiona tapped his arm softly.

"Let it go, Dad. The assistant knows what she is saying. Athena is that strong headed. You will see when you meet her, and perhaps you will understand the reason I was impatient with you and your plans."

The whispered advice stopped Alfonso on his tracks.

He glanced at his daughter. She looked homely and respectful. Could she be right?

He huffed and walked to the seats, his ear attentive though, to the call Ciara was making.

"Hello Doc, some people are here to see you..."

"Yes, they are Mr Alfonso Adams, and his daughter Fiona..."

When the assistant looked at them then, with an unexplainable look, Alfonso felt uncomfortable.

His daughter might be saying the truth, this time around. He thought, while he waited for the assistant to speak. The call was over.
