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

Chapter 136: D-Day II

Athena and Gianna couldn’t help but scoff simultaneously at Aiden’s playful use of an endearment, which prompted a hearty laugh from him. "Oh, God, I’ve missed you two..." He muttered, pulling both women into a warm embrace.

"So, what are you doing here? You didn’t tell me you were coming..." Athena began, after they disengaged from the hug, casting another glance at the convoy of cars parked behind them. They were about eight!

The massive security detail stirred a gnawing sense of unease in the pit of her stomach.

"And why are there so many cars? So much security detail?"

Aiden chuckled in a way that suggested he found her concern amusing. "Well, to answer your first question, if I had informed you I was coming, that would ruin the surprise, wouldn’t it?"

Athena rolled her eyes, pressing her lips together in mock annoyance. "Surprise or not, you know I don’t like surprises."

"Secondly," Aiden continued, undeterred, "they are here for your protection. Our surveillance system detected some unusual activities from the gang. We don’t know what exactly is going on, but it’s best to be prepared."

Athena frowned, pondering this new information. "Do you think they’ll try to stop the case from happening?" She asked, anxiety threading through her voice.

Aiden furrowed his eyebrows, assessing the worry in her expression. "I don’t see why they would do that, but if they decide to, we’ll take care of them."

Just then, Old Mr. Thorne joined them, and Athena felt a wave of relief wash over her upon seeing the liveliness etched on his face. She wouldn’t have admitted it aloud, but his presence always provided a sense of security. Without thinking, she planted a kiss on his cheeks after greeting him.
