Chapter 122: Christmas Visitor

"Did you invite anyone to partake in the surprises?" Athena asked Gianna, wiping the tears from her eyes as she disengaged from the hug.

Gianna immediately shook her head.

"There were no invitations sent out. I thought that would be a bit overwhelming..."

You thought right. Athena mused, before looking at her children. The twins shrugged their shoulders. They couldn’t have invited any adult.

Athena furrowed her eyebrows and stood to her feet. It was either Aiden or the doormen. She concluded, glancing at Aiden’s gift. The man could be full of surprises if he wanted to. But shouldn’t he be celebrating with his daughter?

That left the doormen then. She surmised, walking toward the door. Gianna and the twins followed closely behind.

At the door, Athena inhaled deeply to calm her fraying nerves. The gang couldn’t possibly be here to gift her a Christmas surprise, right? The security detail was all over the building.

She was safe, she decided, and opened the door, startled when she saw Ewan standing outside, wearing a thick leather jacket, his hands filled with gifts.

"Merry Christmas, Athena," He said, though there was no Christmas smile on his lips.

Athena’s surprise immediately shifted to hot, simmering anger. She grasped the doorknob for control, but it wasn’t working.

"What...are...you doing here, Ewan?" She gritted out, barely restraining herself from slapping the hell out of him.
