Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Exasperated

Ewan sighed tiredly when he saw Aiden’s message flash across his phone.

His mind began connecting the dots like a troubled artist trying to create a coherent picture. It dawned on him that the driver-cum-security guard must have discovered what had transpired on the night he had taken Athena to dinner some days ago.

It made him wonder: was there anything at all that Athena kept hidden from the male?

Dropping his phone onto the table with a frustrated thud, he clasped his hands together, deep in thought.

Aiden seemed to know everything there was to know about Athena, which made him suspicious about the history they shared. What could that be?

Just like Athena, Aiden’s profile had turned up blank on the internet at first, as if the man simply never existed.

His curiosity piqued, Ewan had done some digging and learned that this enigmatic figure had been a four-star general at one time.

It was still hard for Ewan to believe; the man looked way too young for such a prestigious title!

Yet he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of respect mixed with irritation. Here was a man who was essentially cutting him off for abandoning Athena at a restaurant to fend for herself—and worse, for not checking in on her since then.

Like a subpar soap opera, Ewan found himself questioning if Aiden really knew just how scheming Athena could be. He flicked his gaze back to the phone, thinking about the picture Fiona had shown him.

Surely, a four-star general should know better than to get involved in a convoluted mess like this.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Ewan ultimately decided that if Aiden didn’t want him included in the search for whatever ghost had haunted Athena, then so be it. But he wouldn’t give up. He needed to find details, somehow.

After all, keeping the children safe was at the forefront of his mind.

With newfound determination, he grabbed his phone and dialed Sandro.

"Come to the office right away," he commanded, feeling more like a military general than a businessman.

Three minutes later, Sandro walked into the office, slightly out of breath.

"Is anything the matter?" he asked, concern etched on his face.

Ewan mulled over his words internally. A lot of things were the matter, but he simply nodded and said, "Not really. I just need your help finding as much information as possible on the gang that kidnapped Athena."

Sandro furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and plopped down onto one of the oversized chairs in Ewan’s large blue-themed office, clearly unprepared for another whirlwind of news. "The gang? Shouldn’t you be meeting Aiden or Athena for that? I’m sure they’d be more than happy to share their resources."

Ewan’s silence after Sandro’s statement spoke volumes, filling the space with an uncomfortable tension. Sandro couldn’t help but wonder what other trouble was brewing in Ewan’s paradise.

"What happened this time around, Ewan?" Sandro pressed, leaning forward slightly in his chair, genuinely curious.

Ewan shrugged a bit too casually. "You saw the news about Athena that turned her into a city hero?"

Sandro nodded eagerly, remembering how epic she looked while kicking the asses of her foes. He had even saved the video on his phone for keepsakes—a reminder that Athena was someone not easily toyed with.

"Well, I was with her at the restaurant earlier."

Sandro’s brows nearly shot up to his hairline. "You were what? How come you weren’t in the video?"

Ewan sighed deeply, looking out the window as if the answers lay beyond the glass. "I asked her to meet me for a business dinner..." _{ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm}
