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

Chapter 27: Truce

Athena looked at her wristwatch, and seeing it remained just a few minutes before Ewan appeared before her, she inhaled calmly to quell the erratic pulsation of her heart.

She had fixed the meeting by nine a.m, but had arrived at the restaurant by thirty minutes past eight to gain an advantage.

Yet, her heart wasn’t cooperating as she wanted.

This would be the first time they would be having a civil conversation since her return. It was all the fault of her children. Those precious brats!

Earlier this morning, after she and Gianna had discovered the mishap that had wrecked Ewan’s company in mere hours, she had been gobsmacked, literally.

Even so, she hadn’t confided in Gianna about her suspicions because her friend believed her children were the most innocent creatures in the universe.

But Athena knew better.

After tucking her friend to bed, and making sure the latter was asleep, she had brewed a cup of strong black coffee for herself, and conducted her own research.

Was she a global hacker for nothing?

Knowing the possibility of her children denying their involvement in the matter, she had gotten evidence first, straightened her findings, before heading to the children’s room to wake them up.

When they sat up after her taps on their thighs, pretending to rub sleep away from their eyes, she had known they hadn’t even slept at all.

She had wondered how long this had gone on.

’Did you do it? The defaming of Ewan’s company, did you do it? I’m sure Kathleen told you he came here. I’m sure you know he is your father.’

Nathaniel hadn’t bothered to deny it. ’He has to pay for troubling you, for not recognizing my sister. She was traumatized by it!’

Athena had ignored the puppy look Kathleen gave her.

Rather she had scolded them and tasked them to return every information to Ewan; to hack into the press companies and to take down the news about Ewan.

She had also told them to keep away from her business with her father.

They had grudgingly accepted her decision.

She wondered how long the acceptance would last.

She sighed and took a sip from the drink a waiter had served her some minutes ago.
