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

Chapter 317: Finding Morgan VII

Breathe in. Breathe out. Slowly. Steadily.

Athena commanded herself, her hand on her chest as she inhaled deeply and exhaled softly. She was going to be okay. She wasn’t going to be captured by Morgan ever again.

"I can’t imagine what would have happened to us if LadyBug wasn’t on our side, you know..." Heron continued, oblivious he had an eavesdropper closeby.

"Yeah, it would have been disastrous. They would have made a mess of us today..."

Athena noted that this second speaker was the same person she had heard talking with Heron those many nights ago, when she had first invaded the hideout of the Scorpion’s gang—the night when she and Ewan had almost died from dangerous smoke inhalation.

Her breath seized as the men continued to talk about the LadyBug and the strategic position the coded person occupied in the operation. Turns out, LadyBug was a female.

"Athena wouldn’t know what hit her... I can’t wait to see her face when LadyBug reveals herself."

So, LadyBug was closer than she thought too? Who could that be? Athena ran a thorough check on the possibility of LadyBug being a friend, but nothing came up.

She would have thought of Madam Ruby, since the widow seemed to have a lot up her sleeve, but the males had talked about the unknown woman being close to her, and not Ewan.

She was snapped out of her thoughts when she finally realized that the voices were getting closer. They were climbing up the stairs! This meant they were on the same floor as she and Ewan!

Inhaling sharply, she turned around and walked—fast, yet very lightly on her feet—so as not to alert the two men that there was an eavesdropper, back to the room.

Inside the room, she shut the door softly, making sure it didn’t thud; no need to inform the males that there was even someone on the floor.

Was this fate? She wondered, her eyes still shut. Even if Morgan wasn’t with them, capturing Heron and whoever that second male was, should be a huge step in the play.

Like Heronica, Heron was an important member in Morgan’s inner circle. So, if they could capture him, then there was a sixty percent chance that they could get to Morgan on their next try.

Yet, who was LadyBug? Athena felt more inclined to catch this person first.

"Athena, did something happen?"

Athena’s eyes instantly shot open when she heard Ewan’s groggy voice. He was awake! Good timing!

"Hey..." She muttered, sauntering steadily to the beds, taking a seat on hers such that the distance between her and a sitting Ewan was merely two feet.

"What happened? Did you see something?" Ewan repeated his question, his earlier zeal for food forgotten.

How could he think of food when Athena’s face was paler than usual? Did she see something outside the room? Maybe an orgy?
