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

Chapter 178: Subduing Criminals II

Aiden arrived four minutes later, his breathless form standing beside Athena, who still had the gun trained on Heronica and Cole—she had finally pried the latter’s name from his mouth by kicking his wounds.

A hint of amusement danced in her eyes as she glanced at Aiden.

"Wow..." He muttered, taking in the scene unfolding before him.

"You sure took your time..." Athena mused, dropping her hand to her side, flexing her fingers to ease the growing ache that had begun there. She knew Aiden was here now, and with him, the situation was bound to remain in their favor.

"Four minutes out, Athena," Aiden stated, his tone laced with concern. "I had to run here. Who are these people? Old rivals?"

Athena’s smile twisted, a mixture of amusement and venom on her face. "You wish."

She shifted her aim to Heronica first, her eyes never leaving the gang member’s face. "This is Heronica. She is part of the gang. The one who donned the features of an old woman to trick me into captivity, the one who cut my thighs, smiling as I shouted in pain..."

Athena’s smile grew, her eyes flashing with a cold intensity. "You are really going to pay for that. I’ll make sure of it."

Heronica’s face remained impassive, her lips pressed tightly together as a response.

Beside Athena, Aiden’s expression darkened. "And who is that?" He asked, his voice gruff with tension. He took a step forward, his eyes scanning the area before refocusing on Athena.

"That’s Cole. A colleague of hers. They were here to spy on me, have been tailing me since..." She shrugged her shoulders. "I don’t even know. It means they must have put a tail on the kids and some we don’t even know about."

Aiden’s jaw clenched, his hand dipping into the left pocket of his coat’s inner lining, producing a familiar pistol. He aimed it at the two gang members with his left hand, using his right to pull out his phone and dial a number.
