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

Chapter 79: Let's Leave!

"I think we should leave the city," Gianna started when she was sure the children had fallen asleep.

After picking them up from school, she had taken them hto eat and freshen up first, before bringing them to

the hospital to see Athena.

Now, they were fast asleep after filling Athena in on how their day went, including the fact that Sandro had paid

them a visit. Kendra was still clutching her doll.

"Why?" Athena asked, sighing as she righted herself on the bed, making sure not to disturb the children who

were lying in different positions on the sbed.

Gianna’s eyes widened in incredulity.

"Are you seriously asking that? Look at what happened yesterday! You haven't spent a month here, and already

there are dangerous ruckuses here and there. Yesterday was Alfonso, today is the kidnapper, who knows what

tomorrow will bring?"

She threw up her hands in frustration when Athena maintained a bland countenance.

"Don’t you understand, Athena? You're in trouble! Especially from the kidnapper! Aiden hasn’t found him, so he’s

still at large. Who says he won't cfor you again?Let’s leave here before things becmessy! He could still

be in communication with Fiona for all we know."

"S07"

Gianna’s eyes widened again in incredulity. She agilely stood up from the sofa, and started pacing, running her

hands through her hair intermittently.

She paused after a few beats, and intensely stared at Athena.

"Athena, are you kiddingright now? If not, what do you mean by 'so’? Obviously, you are not safe. There's no

security detail either, unless you want to rely on Ewan and Zane; and worse, you won't listen to our warnings

about not entering any cab..."

Athena sighed, a crack to her otherwise calm countenance. Her friend was still angry with her for boarding cabs,

because if she had waited for Aiden, she wouldn't have been kidnapped.

Calculating the timing of events, it was safe to say that her cab driver had been in on the scheme. But did this

mean she should run?

Athena shook her head. There were a lot of sick people who needed her help, including Kendra’s aunt. She just

couldn't abandon them because of a threat to her life. She wouldn't be a doctor then!

"I'm sorry about that, Gianna, but | can’t leave. There are people depending onfor survival. | can’t just leave

them. My children have just begun to settle in too, | can’t just uproot them again..."

"Leave them out of this," Gianna interrupted. "The twins would understand. They always do."

"That doesn’t mean | have to abuse that privilege. Yes, my children are wiser than kids their age, but | refuse to

take advantage of that."

Gianna exhaled softly and looked up, admiring the intricate designs on the ceiling, while thinking about the next

route to take. She needed to convince her friend to move.

"What about Ewan?" She reverted her gaze to Athena. "It's obvious he suspects that the children are his. It’s also

clear that he doesn’t exactly buy your ’l have a husband’ excuse. What are you going to do about that?"

Athena bit her lip, almost wishing she hadn't told her friend about the elevator details, as she watched the latter

make a comical face while mimicking her voice and words.

"Let him cthen. I'm not afraid of him."

Gianna palmed her forehead in frustration.

"You are still new to the laws in this country, Athena. But Ewan is an old hand; he knows the tricks of the system.

Do you think you will win if it comes to a legal battle? Or are you hoping he wouldn't be interested in knowing

the children?" Gianna paused to evaluate the emotions on Athena's face.

"If that’s what you're thinking, | suggest you wake up. Ewan is as proud as men are. He would want his children. |

doubt he would be happy that you kept them away from him, let alone that you lied to him."

Athena scoffed. "Angry? He gaveno choice!"

"The public might not see it that way if he plays that card. You both have been in the news too much already. Are

you sure you are up for another bout of publicity? Think about the children..."

"It’s because of them that I’m hanging on, Gianna. | won't let Ewan take my children away from me, nor will | be

leaving the city."

Athena didn’t really blGianna really. The latter didn’t know all she could do, nor the connections fate had

thrown her way, connections which she had utilized in the best possible way.

She understood her friend's concerns, but she felt secure enough. She wouldn't have returned if the reverse

were the case. She would never be the helpless girl she was six years ago!

"But..."

Athena held up her hand, silencing Gianna.

"Are you sure you don’t want to leave because of Zane? Is he too close for comfort? | can send him away."

Gianna'’s pleading face instantly shifted to one of anger.

"What brings Zane into our conversation?"

Athena cocked her head to the right.

She strolled to the bed. "I'll take the children hnow."

Athena nodded, having expected this.

"Alright then. Take care of them."

The children woke up, when Gianna tapped them on their thighs.

Awake, and aware they were heading home, they hugged Athena, and said with voices groggy with sleep:

"Goodnight, Mom."

After they left her ward, she reclined deeper into the pillows behind her, mildly startled when her phone rang

out, destroying the quietness of the room.

She hissed when she saw it was only Zack Moore. There was no need accepting the call.
