Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Calling For Help

Ewan was nonplussed.

For a second, he thought Gianna was pranking him.

Beside him was Sandro. They had been working on the company’s reports, noting ways to improve the stocks, and how to make the conference become a trigger for the growth of their company.

"What is the matter?" Sandro asked, dropping the pen in his hand on the large file before him, as he noticed Ewan’s pale face. "What happened to Athena?"

On the other side of the phone, Gianna was impatient. As were her other companions.

"What’s the matter? Is he not saying anything?" Aiden queried, eyes flashing with intolerance.

Gianna shrugged her shoulders. She didn’t understand Ewan’s silence either.

Kathleen huffed, tired of waiting, and collected the phone from Gianna.

"Hello...Mr Ewan..."

Ewan was stomped for the second time in a row.

This was the voice of the hacker; the hacker he had spoken to when his company had been in crises.

Was this a joke of some sorts?

He heard a shuffling static, and then a deeper timbre of the voice he just heard.

Without question, he knew it was the twins. They had been behind the hack? But how? Was Athena using them?

His thoughts were caught off by Nathaniel’s voice.

"Hello, Mr Ewan, we need your help with backup. Can we borrow your bodyguard system, with Mr Zane’s? We tried reaching him first, but to no avail. Can you check in with him, and come with him now? My mother’s life depends on that. I’m trusting you on this one, this time around..."

What six year old speaks this confidently?

Ewan opened his mouth, but a croak came out first.

"Hello.."

The impatience that underlied the voice of the boy that might be his son jerked Ewan away from his thoughts. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

He can sit with his thoughts later. He thought. For now, he had to rescue Athena.

"Do you have a location? Do you have a suspect?"

A pause.

"Yes, we have a location. We were able to track them down. But we suspect it’s the gang that had conspired to kill us sometime last year. So, we need backup. Can you be at our house in the next five minutes, with the back up? Can I trust you on this? And please don’t keep silent again..."

Ewan nodded, swallowing his pride before speaking again. "I’ll be there."

He hung up the call and stood up agilely from the chair. "Call our security team, the trained ones, and reach out to Zane too. Athena has been kidnapped. Her children were calling for help."

Sandro was speechless.

"Sandro! Work now, think later. Time is ticking!"

The boy was counting on him. Ewan hastily pushed the files into the cabinets.

Even though he suspected their innocence, he had to deliver this one time. He couldn’t lose face in front of the children.

As he hurried out of the company, he called Zane.

Zane, who had been debating on the reason for Gianna’s call, picked immediately.

"Zane, organize your security details and meet me at Athena’s house in the next five minutes. Athena has been kidnapped."

Before Zane could say anything, in respect to what he had just heard, the call ended.

He looked at the phone, at the call log, and cursed loudly when he finally realized why Gianna had been calling him.

"Damn it!" He kept shouting intermittently, as he sought for clothes to wear.

His father, hearing his shouts, came into the room. "What’s the matter, Zane?"

"Athena..." He spoke as he wore his trousers.
