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

Chapter 12: Game Of Chess

"So, why was Ethan here?" Athena asked as she collected the cup of hot chocolate from Gianna.

She dumped herself on a sofa and crossed her legs, took a sip of hot drink and sighed in relaxation.

After checking on her children, she had freshened up, and eaten the food that her friend had microwaved for her. Now, she felt ready for a business talk.

"Well, you were right about the situation earlier. He has started receiving proposals for a buyout. There are a few about partnering too..."

A significant pause.

Athena looked at Gianna, knowing that the latter wasn’t done talking. A bombshell was coming.

"The chief competitors are Ewan and Zane. Did Zane tell you about his interest, or did you know?"

Athena shook her head. She didn’t discuss business with Zane, except it entailed the hospital and the kids. They hadn’t gotten past that stage yet.

"Well, Ethan mentioned that he liked Ewan’s proposal more. He came to ask for your opinion, as he hasn’t been able to reach you via the phone..."

Athena nodded, holding back the smile that was threatening to mount on her lips. Things were working according to plan, a plan that Gianna was oblivious to.

Gianna believed she was only a doctor, and then a counselor to the infamous Ethan Patterson and his company.

What her best friend didn’t know was that she owned Ethan’s company; that she had set up the branch in the city for a purpose; that all these were part of a game she was playing—a game of chess.

A game she couldn’t afford to lose this time around.
