Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Let’s Leave!

"I think we should leave the city," Gianna started when she was sure the children had fallen asleep.

After picking them up from school, she had taken them home to eat and freshen up first, before bringing them to the hospital to see Athena.

Now, they were fast asleep after filling Athena in on how their day went, including the fact that Sandro had paid them a visit. Kendra was still clutching her doll.

"Why?" Athena asked, sighing as she righted herself on the bed, making sure not to disturb the children who were lying in different positions on the same bed.

Gianna’s eyes widened in incredulity.

"Are you seriously asking that? Look at what happened yesterday! You haven’t spent a month here, and already there are dangerous ruckuses here and there. Yesterday was Alfonso, today is the kidnapper, who knows what tomorrow will bring?"

She threw up her hands in frustration when Athena maintained a bland countenance.

"Don’t you understand, Athena? You’re in trouble! Especially from the kidnapper! Aiden hasn’t found him, so he’s still at large. Who says he won’t come for you again?Let’s leave here before things become messy! He could still be in communication with Fiona for all we know."

"So?"

Gianna’s eyes widened again in incredulity. She agilely stood up from the sofa, and started pacing, running her hands through her hair intermittently.

She paused after a few beats, and intensely stared at Athena.

"Athena, are you kidding me right now? If not, what do you mean by ’so’? Obviously, you are not safe. There’s no security detail either, unless you want to rely on Ewan and Zane; and worse, you won’t listen to our warnings about not entering any cab..."

Athena sighed, a crack to her otherwise calm countenance. Her friend was still angry with her for boarding cabs, because if she had waited for Aiden, she wouldn’t have been kidnapped.

Calculating the timing of events, it was safe to say that her cab driver had been in on the scheme. But did this mean she should run?

Athena shook her head. There were a lot of sick people who needed her help, including Kendra’s aunt. She just couldn’t abandon them because of a threat to her life. She wouldn’t be a doctor then!

"I’m sorry about that, Gianna, but I can’t leave. There are people depending on me for survival. I can’t just leave them. My children have just begun to settle in too, I can’t just uproot them again..."

"Leave them out of this," Gianna interrupted. "The twins would understand. They always do."

"That doesn’t mean I have to abuse that privilege. Yes, my children are wiser than kids their age, but I refuse to take advantage of that."

Gianna exhaled softly and looked up, admiring the intricate designs on the ceiling, while thinking about the next route to take. She needed to convince her friend to move.

"What about Ewan?" She reverted her gaze to Athena. "It’s obvious he suspects that the children are his. It’s also clear that he doesn’t exactly buy your ’I have a husband’ excuse. What are you going to do about that?"

Athena bit her lip, almost wishing she hadn’t told her friend about the elevator details, as she watched the latter make a comical face while mimicking her voice and words.

"Let him come then. I’m not afraid of him."

Gianna palmed her forehead in frustration.
