Chapter 18: Little Revelation

"The twins are Ewan’s right?"

The white plate in Athena’s hand quivered as her hand became unsteady by the virtue of Zane’s question.

Already she was in some kind of knot, thinking of the possible union of Fiona and Luca—the when and how the possibility had occurred—and now Zane comes up with the million dollar question.

But that was to be expected. Zane hadn’t made the deduction earlier because he hadn’t known she was affiliated with Ewan.

Now that he knew, he was connecting the obvious dots.

Surely if Zane could do so, then Ewan would too, if he laid his eyes on the kids.

Athena shuddered involuntarily at the court battle that might ensue after that. However, she was ready if it ever came to that. That had been factored in her game plans too.

"Yes they are. But I will appreciate it if you keep that Information to yourself."

Zane raised his two hands, watching Athena dish food into the ceramic plate. The twins were playing in the sitting room.

"I promise, Athena. The truth won’t leave my lips. It’s not my fault that my best friend chose to be foolish six years ago."

"Thank you, Zane."

Zane shrugged his shoulders. "It’s the right thing to do. After all, my father will have my balls on a platter if he finds out that I had betrayed you unjustly. Yesternight, he almost had them..."

Athena chuckled and shook her head. Her earlier worries about Zane’s father had been for nothing. It seemed the old man knew more about her, than he let on.

"Will you ever tell him?"

Athena shook her head. "But he will find out. I will prefer it later though. I need to put some things in order."
