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

Chapter 306: Revelations IV

The news that Spider couldn’t make a dent in Ewan’s case left Athena gobsmacked. This meant Ewan was entangled in some deep mess, and worse still, he didn’t know a thing about what was going on!

She shook her head, her mind racing as she imagined how frustrated she would have been if the roles were reversed. Damn! How was that even possible?

So far, Spider seemed to be the most competent person she had encountered when it came to unraveling the threads of the dark web. If he couldn’t find anything, then there was truly a problem.

The resigned look on Ewan’s pale face confirmed that he understood the gravity of the situation as well.

"This is serious, Ewan. Are there no leads? Have you had any attacks lately?"

Ewan shook his head slowly, the weight of his frustration evident. "As a matter of fact, I don’t think I’ve had one since we got married, but I’m guessing that’s because Fiona was doing a good job of keeping me stupid... or maybe I don’t really know what’s happening, Athena. It’s frustrating the hell out of me." His voice trembled as he paused, tapping the table harder than usual.

"I’ve thought and thought. I’ve tried making connections, but to no avail. It’s like I’m stuck in this tangled mess, and it makes no sense to me, especially considering who I am and what I can do. It’s humiliating."

Athena could understand that frustration firsthand. Her mind raced through possibilities, trying to identify the actual culprit behind this chaos, but so far, nothing had surfaced. The fact that Spider had failed at this only cranked her anxiety up a notch.

She glanced towards Ewan, who seemed almost defeated. "Let’s set this aside for now, Ewan. We will resolve this. I promise you, we will."

Ewan’s eyes glimmered with gratitude, and a flicker of hope crossed his features. "You’re going to help me with this?"

Athena looked at him incredulously, as if he had sprouted horns. "Of course I will. That’s what friends do for each other, right? And I can tell it’s part of what gives you sleepless nights."

Ewan chuckled softly, the sound shaky and imbued with relief, as though he had been holding his breath waiting for her answer.

A comfortable silence settled between them—different from the previous tension—perhaps because it allowed Athena to see another side of Ewan.

After a moment, she encouraged him to continue his story. They could tackle his attackers another day. If luck was on their side, they might even work on it alongside the Morgan situation.
