Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 528

Chapter 528: Captives VI

Antonio’s grin stretched wide like that of a Cheshire cat, sickeningly proud of himself.

Athena exhaled weakly, tears teasing her eyelids again. She was tired—tired of these painful reveals, tired of darkness unfolding piece by piece.

Yes, she understood now why she hadn’t seen anything damning about Antonio online—he covered his tracks well. If not, she would have probably seen reports by abused women scattered across forums.

But then... maybe he had done away with each of them. She didn’t want to think of the count of women he had disposed of.

"I know... you thought your children were the only ones with genius brains..." Antonio drawled.

Athena ignored the sarcasm dripping from his voice.

"I wanted to groom them myself when we married..."

Athena paled further, if that was even possible. Groom them? To work with Herbert? To cause more havoc in the country... to take more lives?

Again, she was grateful for whatever twist of fate had made her come to her senses before walking down the aisle with this monster.

"So, you are aware of the Grey Virus... aware of the killings?" her voice barely came out, more breath than sound.

"Of course." Herbert answered before Antonio could, nodding along. "It’s for the greater good."

Athena’s eyes rang with disbelief. "Greater good? What are you talking about?"

Herbert shrugged casually. "Governments need money, the military too... this is a good way to do it, and also test out something that could be used in warfare if there should ever be a case for it."

"And the president wouldn’t agree, and so you didn’t even broach it to him..." Athena muttered, nodding slowly when Herbert cussed the president.

"That fool, that thinks he is more righteous than all of us."

"Not really," she shot back, shaking her head faintly. "He just has his humanity intact. You lot are monsters. That’s the difference. Murdering millions of people across nations because of mere profit... you will pay for it."

"And who will make us pay for it?" Herbert teased, leaning forward with a mocking grin. "You? You are already dead meat. You and your husband." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

He laughed sharply. "Has he told you that you both are still married, or is that another lie he’s yet to talk about? Zane told me about it too, and I know my son wouldn’t lie to me. Still, I confirmed it at the registry."

Athena was nonplussed. She turned to Ewan. His bowed head, heavy with defeat, confirmed the truth far more painfully than words.

"We are still married? You didn’t divorce me then?"

Ewan shook his head slowly. "For some reason I couldn’t understand then, I couldn’t. And I am sorry I haven’t told you before. I just thought..."

Athena’s lips pressed into a thin line, but she let him speak, ignoring the fact that her sight was getting hazy, that her body was about to give out on her.

"I didn’t want you to feel bad," Ewan whispered hoarsely, "maybe feel that you had been with another man while still married. I alone should carry that. I am truly sorry. I just... we just survived from one case to another... and I figured I would wait till all this was over before I let you know."

Antonio scoffed loudly. "You were not planning to let her know! You are just like me, Ewan!"

"He’s not." Athena declared instantly.

Never would she put Ewan and Antonio in the same pod again. Antonio was a monster. Ewan was human. And humans made mistakes.
