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

Chapter 7: National Treasure

"What do you think of the party, Athena? Does it meet your standards? Too small? It was the best we could

gather on short notice. Perhaps if you had accepted my invitation earlier, instead of givinga reply a day ago,

| would have dug up something bigger."

Athena held back a scoff, hearing her good friend talk. She didn't even know if he was being sarcastic, or

actually being real.

The party was too small? She shook her head. It was good that she had given him her response yesterday.

If this crowd was what he had managed to scavenge in a day, then what would have happened if she had given

him the response two months ago?

She had thought it would be a small party where she wouldn't have to meet other people from surrounding cities

and towns, where she wouldn't have to meet Ewan, at least not yet. But it seemed that the fates had another

thing in mind.

Well, as long as he doesn't cross me. She thought, letting out a breath when the moderator called her friend, to

the stage.

She chuckled, when he dropped a kiss on her cheeks.

"Wishluck."

Pfft.. As if he needed it.

She only hoped that he wouldn't be so elaborate with her return, that he would just confer on her the title, and

then declare the party over.

"Good evening distinguished ladies and gentlemen. As you all know, | am Zane. And | bid you welcto this

beautiful event..."

Athena tuned out then, not interested in hearing the boring talk on state politics.

She allowed her eyes to roam around the room, from her apex position, occupying the only VIP seat with Zane.

And from this position, she could see everyone in the large hall. They were over two hundred!

And Zane had called them small.

She scoffed softly, her eyes retaining their aloof quality when they collided with Fiona. Her old rival was scowling

at her.

Athena found it funny. Her eyes perched, before she could stop them, on the seat next to Fiona. It was empty.

Did Ewan go somewhere?

She shrugged her shoulders. Why should she care? His whereabouts weren't her business. He would never be

her business again.

"Now, | would like to invite someone to the podium, someone of great importance..."

Zane's statement brought her to attention, causing her to look away from Fiona, to center her gaze on her good

friend.

Therefore, she didn't see when Ewan stepped into the row, and sat on the empty seat, closeby Fiona.

He sat, and watched her. Yet she didn't notice. She was too wrapped up in the emotions assailing her.

All right. Here it goes. She mused, clasping her hands on her thigh, taking deep breaths to placate her breathing

that had gotten a bit erratic. She still hated public speaking or appearances.

"...someone that has a special place in my heart. We met at a medical institute. She was the doctor, who had

healed my father of the strange illness...you all know about the deadly disease my old man battled with..."

Gasps erupted in the hall, gasps of surprise and approval. There were murmurs of happiness and relief. The

people were also curious to see the miracle worker.

Athena hated it. She wished Zane would be done with the epistle already, so that she would leave. She had to be

hby nine. She had to tuck her favorite people into bed.

"You know I've been trying to poach her for a year plus, since she had cured my father. | had offered her all

manner of contracts, even went as far as waiting under the rain while she got busy at the lab...ignoring me..."

Athena chuckled then, with the crowd. A fact about Zane was that he exaggerated things, sometimes out of

proportion.

The incident he had talked about had just been a stroke of bad luck for her good friend.

That fateful day he had cto see her, but due to the amount of patients visiting, he had to wait outside.

Sadly, a heavy rain had started and met him. But only for five minutes! He had been ushered into his car by his

bodyguard Immediately.

And here he was, talking like he had waited for hours.

Athena chuckled again.

However, her smile bectentative when she saw Ewan staring at her, no, glaring at her.

When had he joined Fiona?

She hoped they were married now, seeing as they couldn't get away from each other when she had been a

stumbling block.

She nonchalantly glanced away from

It meant that she would meet more people than expected. The Whitman Hospitals were present in every town

and city! Would she even have the tto rest?

Her hand flew to rest on her forehead in frustration when she heard Zane calling her to join him on the podium.

She would kill him. She surmised, wearing a thin smile as she stood up from the seat and sauntered to the

podium.
