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

Chapter 308: Warring Emotions

A few hours ago?

Ewan’s head swam with questions, and then with fatigue. He staggered on his feet, slightly irritated when he felt Athena supporting him—he wasn’t some charity case!

That irritability morphed into red-hot anger when Antonio stepped forward and gently removed Athena’s hands from his waist.

"If he needs a support system, I can be that," Antonio asserted.

Not wasting a moment, Ewan swatted Antonio’s hands away, tears of humiliation burning behind his eyes. "Get your stinky hands off me!"

"Damn, dude! I’m just trying to help! If you don’t want it, get your ungrateful ass inside the car and drive off," Antonio barked, folding his arms across his chest and blocking Athena.

Meanwhile, behind him, Athena worried if she had made a good call, considering how irate and unreasonable Antonio was behaving. Why did he have to announce it in front of Ewan like that? Did a man’s ego have to be so damning? She clicked her tongue and stepped away from his protective stance.

"Antonio, quit it," She stated, keeping her voice steady.

Turning to face Ewan fully, she felt her heart drop at the pain etched across his handsome features. Had she caused that?

"Is it true? You accepted to be his girlfriend a few hours ago? When was that? Was it because of the truth—"

Athena shook her head immediately, aware of where Ewan was headed. "It’s not that. I... I just felt it was the right time to move on relationship-wise..."

She left her answer incomplete. There was no way she was telling Ewan that she had accepted Antonio simply to silence her heart, which had gone rogue without her consent. She could learn to love Antonio; he was a good man and had been a great friend for a long time.

But Ewan... Nah, he was a whole different case—sinfully attractive and utterly captivating. She still cherished her life and the control she had over it.

"You don’t need to explain anything to him, Athena. He isn’t worth it," Antonio spat, and Athena bit her lip to suppress the urge to tell him to shut his mouth and get into his car. She understood male ego and possessiveness, yet she wasn’t enjoying this.

"Antonio, that’s okay."

But her gaze remained steadfast on Ewan, which clearly displeased Antonio.

"Alright then, I’m sorry. Can we go inside, or maybe step outside and talk? I’m in need of you..."
