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

Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Wretched

Athena didn’t know what to do when she walked in on Gianna drinking.

She had woken up to use the restroom, and then had gotten thirsty.

On her way to the kitchen just now, she had found Gianna drinking heavily, like her life depended on it.

From the speed and haphazard way Gianna drank, Athena could tell that her friend had downed more than eight glasses.

She sighed, and rested her head on the door post, still watching her friend. What could she do?

She had seen Gianna in this condition only twice.

The first was three years ago, when her parents died in a car crash.

Athena had drank with her, they had drank till they passed out.

That had been understandable.

The second time was on the night she had introduced her to the children’s godfather, Zane, almost two years ago.

That hadn’t been understandable, and neither was this one.

What was the history between them?

Athena didn’t know, but she believed it was too dark—Gianna drank heavily whenever there was a chance meeting with Zane.

Athena also knew she should investigate the matter, but her best friend would go crazy with anger if she ever found out about the investigation.

Athena had found out how angry Gianna could get, when she had tried investigating the accident of the latter’s parents’ and their death.

Athena hadn’t believed it was a mere accident. Gianna had believed it was.

Since then, she steered away from Gianna’s private matters, only doing something if her friend asked for it.

This matter with Zane was such a matter, so she couldn’t investigate it—even though she really wanted to, even though she wanted to understand why her friend became miserable after every meeting with Zane.

Once, she had forbidden Zane from coming, and had almost stripped the latter from being her children’s godfather, but Gianna hadn’t let it either.

Athena was beyond confused and tired.

When Gianna stretched her hand down, and grabbed another bottle, Athena detached her head from the doorpost, and stepped into the sitting room proper.
