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

Athena had only shown a sliver of compassion by providing a bottle of cold water, musing to herself that the black cells likely needed the duo alive for after all.

Athena shrugged nonchalantly. "It’s just for the sake of the black cells. Is that all you wanted?"

The only reason she entertained this exchange was her need for information; perhaps Heronica knew more than she was willing to admit. Otherwise, Athena would have simply left. Her body still overflowed with disgust for people like Heronica and Cole, who showed a complete disregard for human life.
