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

Sandro and Ewan couldn’t help the sarcastic chuckle that broke from their lips, an unwelcome sound that caused Zack to swallow uncomfortably, both his words and his saliva.

"Of course, Zack. By all means, continue." Ewan gestured, leaning backward into his seat, absolutely happy and relieved that Zack had been among those that had thought Athena was an illiterate.

"I will just get straight to the accident point..."

"That will be better for everyone." Sandro added, nodding his head in agreement, placing his hands on the table, waiting for the main reason they had come here.

So, I had no issues, neither did her mother. As a

I was with Calista in the room days later, trying to convince her to eat when my butler had rushed into the room without knocking, panting like someone that had run for his life from the hands of killers. I didn’t care to ask him why he would breach my privacy, sensing that whatever had him this way had to be very urgent. Well, I was right. He brought the news that Athena had been found. Quickly, my wife that had been bedridden from sorrow rose from the bed with an insane amount of energy I didn’t think she had within her, seeing as she hadn’t eaten properly for a week, and ran out of the room.
