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

Chapter 248: Long Night XII

Athena knew why Ewan had led the way, yet she wondered if his promise to the children was the only reason behind his actions.

However, she pushed the thought aside before it could take root and fester. She had other matters to concern herself with, like the fact that the underground space resembled the president’s secret office. Was it just a mere coincidence?

She glanced at Aiden; the look in his eyes and the tension on his face suggested he was pondering the same unsettling idea.

"No one seems to be here. It’s just so quiet," Ewan noticed, halting in the middle of the underground chamber.

He scanned the surroundings and observed three doors leading to unknown rooms. Other than that, the place was bare, save for a few cushions and a library on the side.

Where was everyone? Where was the girl named Susan? He wondered, taking in the neatness of the area—a sharp contrast to the chaos in the living room upstairs. It was obvious this space was Morgan’s domain, yet an unsettling emptiness loomed.

He watched the agents, who had descended with him, lower their guns which had been raised before, ready to shoot. Then his gaze returned to Athena. She looked just as confused.

"Something is wrong," He said, at the same time with Athena. They looked at each other curiously before returning their attention to the agents.

"Yes, it seems too—"

"Easy," Ewan completed Aiden’s statement, a sinking feeling of foreboding washing over him. "It’s like we’ve walked into a trap."

Instantly, everyone’s guns were raised, including his, poised to fire as they all grasped the unsettling truth of Ewan’s words.

Athena, however, remained perplexed. Who had leaked this information? Had one of the agents betrayed them?

In that moment, she attempted to communicate with the agents outside, including Zane and Sandro, but all she received was static. A cold dread crept into her spine as she tried again. "Hello, hello..."

Aiden and Ewan mirrored her attempts, calling out to the team outside, only to stop when they heard dry laughter from behind them.

Startled, they turned to see the wall sliding open, retreating left and right, to reveal Morgan clapping his hands as he stepped out of a hidden room, accompanied by several of his gang members.
