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

Chapter 149: The Court Case XII

The murmurs in the council hall swirled like a restless wind, a cacophony of intrigue and unease. Tension hung

thick in the air, nearly palpable, as whispers of doubt danced around the room.

"Do you think Kendra’s father is that evil man, Morgan?" A voice trembled from the back. "Do you think he will be

allowed to step in here?"

"I'd flee if it was him! That man is a monster!" Another voice replied, panic lacing their words, underlying fear

threading through their tone.

"Con! Don’t be ridiculous! Athena wouldn't put our lives at risk just to prove a point," Someone else tried to

pacify the gathering, but their uncertainty undermined the assurance of their words.

In conclusion, no one wanted to be present when Morgan would be ushered into the hall. After all, this was

merely a council hall, there was no security detail anywhere to keep them safe, should things go south!

Meanwhile, Ewan’s gaze locked onto Fiona, whose brow was deeply furrowed, confusion evident in her

expression.

She finally exchanged furtive glances with her father, Alfonso, whose sudden stoic demeanor seemed out of

place in the current chaotic atmosphere.

What was Athena planning now? Hasn't the witch done enough? What did she know that could shatter the

delicate web that had been constructed for years?

"Athena, what are you talking about? You want to bring that evil man inside this court?" Elder Timothy shook his

head. "Don’t worry, I'm sure we can make do with the evidences you have submitted. Surely, we can conclude

the case with them."

But Athena cocked her head to the side, looking at Elder Timothy intensely. "Of course not, | won't put the

community at risk in that way. So no, I'm not bringing Morgan to the council. I'm bringing Kendra’s father."

Two different things. Ewan thought. Two different people. Who could it be then?

Elder Timothy raised his eyebrows and then nodded. "If that’s the case, bring the witness in. We'll like to know

who is Kendra’s father."

Alfonso inhaled deeply, and looked up to the ceilings, as if beckoning on the heavens to save him from another

round of shame. Yet, no answer cfor him.

Instead, it was his daughter's voice that he heard.

"Elder Timothy," Fiona began, her voice shaking with uncertainty yet firm, "you cannot seriously consider

bringing any witnesses forward without first—"

"Enough!" Elder Timothy's voice boomed across the hall, silencing Fiona, and the swirling murmurs in an instant.

His earlier cloak of fear that had donned him at the thought of entertaining Morgan in his council was replaced

with sheer disgust and anger at the offending woman. His commanding presence hung over the crowd like an

ever-present shadow.

"Athena, bring in the witness."

"With pleasure, my lord..." Athena replied with a smile and a curt bow before turning to the entrance door.

Two claps of her hands, and the large ancient door creaked open with an ominous groan.

With every ticking second, the air thickened with anticipation as everyone awaited for the one who had thought

it wise to sleep with Fiona. Worse, he had thought it okay to leave the child with her.

So, when Lucas strode into the hall, clean-shaven and undeniably handsome, the gasps that erupted from the

audience were akin to a rushing wind—-with their eyes wide with disbelief and horror.

"Is that... Lucas?" A voice murmured, barely a whisper, for the shock was evident on every face.

"Is he not the man who claimed that Doctor Athena had begged him for sex six years ago? | can’t believe he’s

here! Where has he been all these years? And why would he return now?" Another voice exclaimed, riddled with

confusion.

Six years felt like a lifetime, yet the weight of that morning bore down upon them anew, and Ewan couldn't

shake the feeling of dread creeping through him. Lucas had vanished after that fateful day, and now he stood at

the center of a storm, ready to talk? Where had Athena found him?

For six years ago, after the court day, he had sought for the latter, and had not found him. He had even thought

him dead at one point. Yet, here was, looking all well kept, in flesh and blood.

Athena nodded fondly at Eric and Shane before the duo left Lucas’ side and joined the congregation.

But Fiona’s complexion drained as she turned to her father, her eyes wide with terror. "Why is he here? He

shouldn't be here!" Her voice trembled, laden with desperation.

He folded his lips in. Lucas. The latter had been a dark Chapter of their past. Now, he was here to haunt their

lives. But why? Why couldn't life be fair to him? First, it was his company, and now this...

Wait till this court session is over. He thought, gripping his knees.

Meanwhile, the tension in the hall crackled as Lucas stepped forward. His gaze was intense and focused,

particularly on Fiona, whose bravado had evaporated, replaced by stark fear.

"Lucas Vanders, Doctor Athena says you are here to testify..." Elder Timothy spoke, as Lucas cto halt in the

wide space between the two witness benches, facing the elders platform.

"Yes," Lucas said, his tone clear and unwavering. "I'm here to testify."

The crowd leaned in, their collective breath holding as they braced for Lucas’ side of the story, eager to know

what evil role Fiona had played again.

"Alright then. There's a matter about you being Kendra’'s father..."

He shrugged his shoulders. If the young man wanted to talk about it now, so be it.

"Then join Athena at her seat, and tell the truth."
