Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 5: Restless

Fiona shriveled when Sandro came to stand before her, his eyes glazing with a sheer indifference to her, as always. For the first time, she was glad about it—it showed that he hadn't heard her discussion with Athena.

Sandro was Ewan's right-hand man, and his best friend. A no-nonsense man who wasn't fooled by her antics. He knew of her obsession with Ewan, but had maintained his peace for the unity of his friend's union.

Fiona wondered what he would do now. She knew that he had always favored Athena over her, even though the latter wasn't aware of it.

"Mis... Athena, what are you doing here?" Sandro questioned, darting glances between the two women.

He bit his lower lip for almost calling Athena, Mistress, his eyebrows furrowing when he saw the knapsack in the latter's hand. "Where are you going?"

"She is going..."

"Fiona, I don't remember asking you any question. You can leave now. I think your father is searching for you." Sandro mentioned, not bothering to even bestow a glance at the offending female.

For reasons best known to him, he had never accepted Fiona into his life as a friend or whatever, no matter how much she had thrown herself in his way, a fact that Ewan was unaware of.

Sandro was beginning to wonder if he had made the right choice by keeping it away from Ewan.

Perhaps if he had told his friend, the latter would have been skeptical in believing whatever Fiona told him, the latter would have probably investigated the cheating event, before denouncing Athena from being his wife.

Sandro was logical, especially as he wasn't involved in the scandal. There were a lot of loopholes in Luca's account, yet nobody had mentioned that. He knew that if the matter was thoroughly investigated, Athena would be innocent.

Athena wasn't one to cheat.

She was illiterate, yes, but she wasn't disloyal.

He knew that much, having known her these past three years.

Too bad that Ewan had been too caught up in his emotions, that he had acted unlike himself; or had the latter seen this as an escape route out of the loveless marriage, and a way to get back his father's land?

Sandro shook his head. His friend wasn't that underhanded. No matter what, Ewan always chose the truth over anything else, including his emotions.
