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

Chapter 285: Night Affairs IV

Who would dare infiltrate the Thorne mansion, with all the security agents and tools functioning? Athena couldn’t help but wonder, stepping out of her bed slowly as if the intruder was lurking in a hidden section of her room.

With the same stealth, she walked to her wardrobe, opened it slowly, and touched the black bag resting atop the bag of clothes she had brought when she arrived at the mansion.

She exhaled in relief when she felt her registered gun nestled inside the bag, yet that didn’t calm the racing in her heart or the marching feet in her head.

"Calm down, Athena. You need your wits about you," She muttered to herself, grasping the gun tightly as she moved toward the window where she believed the sound was coming from.

But if she judged by the noises she was hearing, it meant that the intruder was already inside the compound—which indicated that the person had bypassed the security measures in place. How was that possible?

Unless... she paused in her steps. Unless the person was a spy in their midst, maybe part of the security detail guarding the mansion.

Exhaling visibly again, she clutched the silky purple nightgown against her body tightly while her mind raced in different directions. Was the safety of her children compromised too?

The thought brought a mix of unsettling rage and nerves pooling in her belly. Without a second thought, she retraced her steps to the wardrobe slowly, donned a robe over her flimsy gown, tied it with its belt, and closed the distance between her and the window.

Once there, she inhaled deeply, her heart thumping louder inside her chest as she could hear the intruder’s ragged breathing on the other side.

The intruder had climbed to her window—maybe to kill her? Abduct her? She wasn’t sure. But she will see for herself.
