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

Chapter 10: Stupidest Deduction

"Wife? That’s far-fetched." Athena muttered tepidly, when Zane’s face turned bright red after Ewan’s declaration.

She watched Zane still, as his eyes narrowed, and became dark and furious.

His jaw clenched so tightly that his teeth could have cracked. Veins pulsed on his forehead, and a thick one throbbed along his neck.

Zane could feel his heart pounding hard in his chest, pumping hot anger through his veins, like lava ready to explode. His fists clenched so tight his knuckles turned white, nails digging into his palms.

Then he met Athena’s gaze, breathing heavily, hoping to see her share the same anger. But she just stood there, her arms crossed and her expression calm—almost bored.

She was looking at him, at Ewan, as if they were nothing but flies buzzing in her way.

Her eyes showed not a trace of fear, no hint of surprise. Instead, she gave a tiny, lazy yawn, covering her mouth with her hand as if she could barely stay awake.

That made Zane even angrier. Didn’t she understand what this meant? How could she stand there so calmly? If Ewan was right, they were archenemies!

His shoulders shook as he fought to keep his rage under control. But Athena just tilted her head, raising an eyebrow, as if daring him to do something about it.

The sight of her boredom only fueled his anger, burning him from the inside out, and he knew he wouldn’t forget this moment.

"Athena...shit!"

Athena yawned again, after hearing Zane cuss out.

Yes, she had lied to him.

Yes, she had been Ewan’s wife at one time.

Yes, Ewan’s stocks had plunged after their divorce.

But so what?

She didn’t kill anyone. Well, at least not yet.

And she had no time for these shenanigans. She had to be home.

"Zane, can we leave here? Can we discuss this later, at home? I promise, there’s more to the story. You haven’t heard my side of the story yet." Athena couldn’t hold it in again, when she heard Zane cuss underneath his breath for the third time.

She didn’t hear his exact words this time around, but she knew that he was very furious at being lied to. He was angry with her.

But how was she supposed to know that he was Ewan’s best friend?

If she had known that he was in any way related to Ewan, she would have turned down the offer; she wouldn’t have come here.
