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

Chapter 25: Bad To Worse

Ewan was absorbed in thoughts until the beep from the coffee machine went off.

With renewed focus, he collected the ready cups of hot black coffee and briskly walked to his home office—where he and Sandro had spent the whole night in, working and trying to find a way out of the pit Athena and Zane had dug for him.

Ewan relaxed his hold on the cups when their hot temperature became unbearable on his knuckles.

Once he handed a cup to Sandro, his assistant bowed his head in appreciation.

He continued to watch, appeased thereafter, when Sandro let out a happy sigh after a sip of the coffee.

"You still make the best coffee, Ewan. The only unfair thing is that you won’t show me how to do it."

Ewan chuckled softly. "Not me. Not any special recipe. It’s just the quality of the machine."

Sandro scoffed and shook his head. "Your new lie? The last time, you mentioned it was magic transferred from your lineage."

Ewan laughed, the hurt in his chest abating a little.

Not giving Sandro a response, he sat down near his friend, in between a pile of documents.

Just then he heard movements in the house.

Fiona must be back from wherever she had gone to. He thought, picking a file.

But he didn’t actually care to know where she had been. He wasn’t ready for her tantrums this early morning. He wanted to resolve this matter first.

About last night, he knew he had gone overboard grabbing her by the neck like that.

Whatever her shortcomings, she was a woman, and he shouldn’t have manhandled her. His mother wouldn’t be proud of him now.

He sighed, and picked another file, noting somewhere in his mind to get her something lovely today.

For at one time in this life, she had been his savior, hence the reason he was alive today.

Thirty minutes into resolving the issues Ewan thought Athena had kick-started, he noticed a pattern with a particular press company.
