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

Chapter 187: A Shoot-Out

"Those men are still following us," Athena texted to Aiden as the latter talked with the hotel manager, who happened to be an old friend of his.

Aiden, hearing the ding of his phone and sensing Athena’s sudden, purposeful closeness, excused himself from his friend’s speech for a second and looked at his phone, maintaining a calm composure when he saw the message.

He didn’t even turn to look at Athena or the men she was referring to. Rather, he kept a concentrated gaze on the phone, as if he was still reading the message.

Were the men here to kill them, or just capture them? He wondered, finally letting a furrow to mar his forehead.

They had first noticed they were being followed a few minutes away from the Hidden Spoon restaurant. If Aiden were to take a guess, the followers had checked in at the restaurant, but because they didn’t know the code word to pass through the waitress, they had chosen to wait outside for them at a separate spot.

And so, he had seen them finally, tailing his car, on the way to the hotel; the men were in a black Cadillac with tinted windows.

"Is there a problem? Do you have an urgent place to be at?" His friend asked him, having noted the slight furrow lines.

Aiden nodded slowly, pleased his plan worked. "Yeah, that was a work message. I will see you around..."

The manager nodded, shook his hand, and gave a short wave to Athena, whose hand was tucked inside her coat. She returned the wave with her left hand before the man left them to their devices.

"Let’s go to our suite. I’m not hoping for a shootout here," Aiden said, nodding toward the elevator as he finally took a good look at the men who loitered around the hotel’s reception. They pretended to be busy in a way that amused Aiden.
