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

Chapter 73: Rescued II

"How is she doing?" Aiden asked as he watched Ewan approach him, carrying Athena in his hands.

He balled his fist, his eyes stinging with tears, as he saw her miserable state with every step Ewan took toward him.

"Bad. Very bad. She just passed out." Ewan answered, gritting his teeth as he remembered what he had walked into a few minutes ago, as he imagined what would have happened if he had followed Sandro and Zane home.

He pushed the image out of his head. It was giving him the creeps and a slicing headache.

"You saw something there?" Aiden queried, having noticed the look of sorrow mixed with anger on Ewan’s face.

Ewan paused and looked at the man, with a heated gaze. "Let’s just say it would have been a different story if I had left with Zane and Sandro."

Aiden sighed, and stretched his hands so that he could carry Athena himself. "I’m sorry. I was just doing everything to keep you three safe too. You are from prominent families, with important companies too."

Ewan scoffed, refusing to hand over Athena. "I don’t have a family, Aiden, just people I have to take care of. Most times, I just do what I have to do. And some of those times, I make bad decisions, but it’s for the betterment of those people."

Aiden furrowed his eyebrows, seeing Ewan in a new light he wasn’t expecting.

He suspected that Ewan knew how close he was to Athena, but felt no need to comment on that. "You aren’t handing her over to me?"

Ewan swallowed, thinking of an excuse to hold onto Athena. Then he saw the security details watching them, and an idea came to his mind.

"You have to manage the security detail, and see if you will find any clues. When I stood by the door and waited, the kidnappers talked about a secret spot of escape: you should check for that. Also, there is a guy that is lying in his own pool of blood."

He paused, his hands tightening around Athena’s weary body.

"I stopped him midway through an atrocious act, but I don’t think he is actually dead; maybe a brain hemorrhage. You can pick him up for questioning."

Aiden debated on the matter. Ewan was right. He had to scurry around with the security detail for any clues at all that would be helpful to the team that would be arriving in the country soon.

"Okay then. Have it your way. Take care of her."
