Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Trackers

"Aunt Gianna, don’t you think it’s weird that Mom isn’t back by this time?" Kathleen questioned, looking at the large living room clock.

Beside her, on the sofa, was Nathaniel and Kendra. Their hands were clasped on their thighs. They were like sitting ducks. Worried sitting ducks.

Gianna, who was sitting on the opposite sofa, sighed, and looked at the clock again. It was almost seven p.m.

She was beginning to get worried too. What was holding her friend up?

She refused to think that the event of last year was repeating itself again.

Surely, it wasn’t possible. She thought. She didn’t think her heart would be able to bear it.

Athena was the only family she had left, her and the twins.

Just then, her phone rang. It was Aiden.

"Hello, Aiden..."

"Gianna, have you been able to reach Athena since two hours ago? I’ve been waiting for her reply to a certain message, but she’s not available online. I’ve tried calling, but her phone is switched off. I can’t track it either."

Gianna’s hands started shaking. "I’ve been unable to reach her too."

A pause.

"Do you think something has happened to her? She hasn’t returned to the house since she left for the mall three hours ago. Surely, getting children’s cereals shouldn’t take much time. Or did she branch somewhere else?"

A significant pause on the other side spelt doom to Gianna.

"Aiden... you... are not saying ..anything. Is Athena okay?"

The twins exchanged anxious glances, and nodded.

Immediately, they stood up from the sofa, and walked toward their bedroom, with Kendra in tow.

As they moved, Nathaniel turned and gave Gianna a wink, after darting a glance at Kendra.

Gianna widened her eyes, then calmed down, then nodded in understanding, just as Aiden spoke:

"I’m coming. Sit tight with the children."

As soon as the call ended, Gianna hurried into her room.

Opening her drawer, she took out the bottle of sleeping pills she uses, on nights when she shouldn’t sleep.

She took a pill, broke it into two, and hurried out of the room with the half pill.

In the kitchen, she brought down three glasses and a tray from the cupboard, retrieved a juice can from the refrigerator and filled the glasses with the orange liquid.

In the third glass however, which she kept slightly separated from the others, she put in the pill that had been crushed earlier.

Then she carried the tray and headed to the children’s room.

When she stepped into the room, the children were playing Leggo.

Kathleen saw her first.

The little girl shouted in joy, and hurried over to her. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

Before she took a glass however, she exchanged a perceptible glance with Gianna, who gestured with a shake of her head at the one to take for herself.

Kathleen downed the one that was hers, took the drugged one and handed it over to Kendra.

The unsuspecting kid drank the juice, just as Nathaniel sipped his.

Five minutes later, she passed out cold.

Gianna carried her to the bed.

The twins apologized profusely to their friend, as they watched Gianna tuck her into the bed.

"How long will she sleep?" Nathaniel asked, holding his sister’s hand.

"A couple of hours. Hopefully, the matter will be resolved before then. Did you regret it?"

Nathaniel shook his head. "It had to be done. We have to save our mother."
