Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 352

Chapter 352: ’Whipped Afresh’

"So, will there be a party?" Herbert asked, when Athena was done narrating Fiona’s tale, as shortly as possible.

"Knowing old Mr. Thorne, I am sure he would be interested in that. As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if your grandmother is already putting things together, sending out invites, to introduce the world to their lost but found grandchild."

A pause. A deep throated laugh. "Don’t look so ashen, Athena. That’s what happens in high born families. Didn’t Zane throw you a party on your return to the city? And you weren’t even his daughter."

A laugh. Athena paling further. She hadn’t thought of that. Another limelight experience, this time with her children.

Oh god. She didn’t think the twins were ready for that. Oh, they could handle it quite alright, but considering the uncertain state of things, she didn’t think it was wise to release their information to the public. But could it be helped?

She relaxed further into her seat, aware that she was the centre of attention, aware that Ewan had stepped closer to her. To offer comfort?

Was he even aware that he was closer to her than before? They seemed to draw each other like a moth to a flame.

There she goes letting him confuse her thoughts again. Athena mused, shutting her eyes for less than a second.

Ewan, who had been watching her, thinking that she was disturbed about the incoming party, quickly moved closer, while Aiden and Herbert exchanged amused glances.

"Hey, it’s okay. I am sure we can convince grandfather not to hold the party, at least to keep the kids away from the public."

His hand resting gently on her shoulders eased the discomfort a little, but greatly multiplied the confusion in her mind. It seemed that the only thing her mind wanted to think about was Ewan and his maddening touch.

"Ewan is right. I think Edward wouldn’t want to place the kids in the limelight, although the public would be able to connect the dots, seeing as the twins have appeared in the news before..."

Seeing Athena’s raised brow of query, Herbert chuckled, shaking his head at her quickness to forget. "You remember the kidnapping incident..."

Athena exhaled and shut her eyes. She had forgotten the only time her children had been abducted from their school.

She wished to cut off Morgan’s hands then. Maybe she shouldn’t have alerted the president to his capture, so she would have more time with him. Hopefully, Sandro’s imagination wouldn’t come to pass. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

She couldn’t stomach Morgan being tended to by curvaceous women. An exhale. "I think we can handle it. Thanks, Herbert. I take it that you will be invited?"

Herbert smiled, and relaxed on his seat.

Even for an old man, he was a handsome man. Athena noticed. Would have broken many hearts in his younger times, just like his son, Zane. It would explain why no one knew the identity of his wife, or Zane’s mother to be exact.

No marriage records had turned up when she had done a thorough research on him, years ago.

She shook her head; not a time for these thoughts. "See you then, Herbert." She rose to her feet. It was time to head home. Maybe check out her new lab later.

If she was to take a guess, the people monitoring her would be fuming now, and would have put a couple of criminals on her tail. It was best not to give them something to feed on. It was best to retire home for now.

She would talk with Ewan on the best way to get to her lab without being followed, maybe recruit more agents to stay hidden and take out unwelcome guests hovering around.

"See you, Miss Thorne."

Athena rolled her eyes. "Please call me Athena. I’m still getting used to my new status."
