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

Chapter 269: Disturbance

Athena dropped her phone onto her worktable slowly and sat back in her chair, her mind swirling with thoughts about the possible information Ewan wanted to share with her.

Her curiosity about the mole especially ignited a sense of anticipation within her, a strange mix of excitement and dread. Who could it be?

From the nature of the text, she could decipher that the unfortunate person would be someone familiar. Perhaps a colleague? A friend?

The weight of uncertainty hung heavily on her, like a storm cloud ready to burst. She couldn’t wait.

The tension coiled tighter in her stomach as she picked up the phone again, eager to inform Aiden of the recent development. But just as quickly, she paused, a memory invading her thoughts with the ferocity of a sudden windstorm. They weren’t on speaking terms since that fateful night four days ago.

She hissed softly, frustration bubbling to the surface. Returning the phone to the desk, she felt the familiar ache of hurt that had settled there in Aiden’s absence. It hadn’t dissipated; if anything, it festered, deeper each day he hadn’t come around to apologize.

He hadn’t even stopped by Mr. Thorne’s house. She hasn’t seen him anywhere since then. It was as though he had vanished from the face of the earth, disappearing into thin air like a phantom.

She should feel relieved about that, but... she didn’t. Aiden wasn’t someone she could easily dismiss. They had a history.

She chuckled derisively at a wild thought. Maybe his reason for not showing his face was related to her last comment about his ex-wife.

Yet...

Surely, he couldn’t be that dense and proud.

Well, younevercantellwithmen.

Shaking her head, she tried to refocus. She needed to concentrate on the stack of documents in front of her. The problem was that focusing felt like trying to catch smoke with her bare hands. Ewan’s message echoed in her thoughts, a lingering whisper that wouldn’t quiet down.

She had chosen Dixon’s café because it seemed lively enough. Yet she wished more than anything that Aiden could be there with her.

Sighing, she pushed all thoughts about Ewan aside, Aiden included, and forced herself to concentrate on the papers sprawled across her desk. She needed to complete this paperwork before the end of the day.
