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

Chapter 10: Stupidest Deduction

"Wife? That's far-fetched." Athena muttered tepidly, when Zane’s face turned bright red after Ewan’s declaration.

She watched Zane still, as his eyes narrowed, and becdark and furious.

His jaw clenched so tightly that his teeth could have cracked. Veins pulsed on his forehead, and a thick one

throbbed along his neck.

Zane could feel his heart pounding hard in his chest, pumping hot anger through his veins, like lava ready to

explode. His fists clenched so tight his knuckles turned white, nails digging into his palms.

Then he met Athena's gaze, breathing heavily, hoping to see her share the sanger. But she just stood there,

her arms crossed and her expression calm—almost bored.

She was looking at him, at Ewan, as if they were nothing but flies buzzing in her way.

Her eyes showed not a trace of fear, no hint of surprise. Instead, she gave a tiny, lazy yawn, covering her mouth

with her hand as if she could barely stay awake.

That made Zane even angrier. Didn't she understand what this meant? How could she stand there so calmly? If

Ewan was right, they were archenemies!

His shoulders shook as he fought to keep his rage under control. But Athena just tilted her head, raising an

eyebrow, as if daring him to do something about it.

The sight of her boredom only fueled his anger, burning him from the inside out, and he knew he wouldn't forget

this moment.

"Athena...shit!"

Athena yawned again, after hearing Zane cuss out.

Yes, she had lied to him.

Yes, she had been Ewan’s wife at one time.

Yes, Ewan’s stocks had plunged after their divorce.

But so what?

She didn’t kill anyone. Well, at least not yet.

And she had no tfor these shenanigans. She had to be home.

"Zane, can we leave here? Can we discuss this later, at home? | promise, there's more to the story. You haven't

heard my side of the story yet." Athena couldn't hold it in again, when she heard Zane cuss underneath his

breath for the third time.

She didn’t hear his exact words this taround, but she knew that he was very furious at being lied to. He was

angry with her.

But how was she supposed to know that he was Ewan’s best friend?

If she had known that he was in any way related to Ewan, she would have turned down the offer; she wouldn't

have chere.

Not that she was afraid of Ewan. No, her promise to Gianna had entailed staying away from Ewan and any thing

that related to him.

Well, it seemed that fate had something else in mind.

She recoiled mentally for the second time, expecting a sharp refusal, when Zane looked at her coldly, like he

didn’t know her from adam.

This was totally not how she had foreseen this night. Being at enmity with Zane.

"Leave? You are still talking about leaving with Zane? You should be ashamed of yourself! Using him to get back

to Ewan?! Even that is wicked!" Fiona shouted tically, drawing attention from the other party attendees.

The guests didn’t move closer to them, but Athena knew their ears were as sharp as ever, to hear what was

going on, to know what gossip they would be spreading around the city.

Athena cackled drily, perching short-lived glances on the tthat were staring at her; each with differing

emotions on their faces.

"Wicked? Getting back to Ewan? That's the stupidest deduction I've heard in my whole life; that’s apart from the

best-friendship tag you both enjoyed while frolicking behind my back, and the allegation that had exiledfrom

the city six years ago."

A heavy pause, where she stared at Fiona like the latter was the scum of the earth.

"Fiona, you're still as dumb as ever. And that doesn’t speak well of your fiancé."

Then she reverted to Zane, whose anger has been replaced with a sheer aloofness that grated on Athena’s

nerves.

It reminded her of the years she had labored emotionally under Ewan, trying to garner his favor and attention.

She won't do that under another man. Never!

She piqued an eyebrow at him—a chance to redeem himself—but Zane remained unyielding.

As stubborn as she had expected.

Well well.

"Mr Zane...I quit from the position you offeredearlier. Find sother doctor. | can’t work for someone who

doesn’t trust me. | can’t work for someone with a low 1Q."

Gasps exploded around her, but Athena wasn’t deterred.

Not concerned that she had just dissed her only friend in the party, she gave Zane a final glare, raised her chin

up, squared her shoulders, and walked out of the party.

All these, without sparing Ewan a glance.

Outside, she hailed a cab quickly, and got in, sighing heavily in relief when the cab started to move, when none

of the guards approached to hold her captive .

Even though her relationship with Zane was now strained, she didn’t want him on her bad side yet.

She would give him another chance yet. She decided. For his father’s sake.

Her phone rang then. It was Gianna.

"Hey, what happened at the party?! | told you to lay low!"

Athena rubbed her forehead, as Gianna went on to recap what she had heard from the gossip mongers already.

It was barely ten minutes, and the news was everywhere on the socials.

But Athena wasn’t surprised. Ewan and Zane were easily the most eligible bachelors in the country, and the

richest.

"Are you listening to me, Athena?"

"Yes." Athena answered, even though she hadn’t been paying attention since Gianna’s first shout.

"Did you know that Zane was Ewan’s best friend."

Athena shook her head.

"Athena??"

Athena sighed before she spoke. "No."

"So, what are you going to do?"

"| quit the position Zane offered me. | saw the look on his face when Ewan calleda whore. He regretted hiring

me. | made the work and paper process easier. Our friendship has been nice while it lasted."

There was silence on Gianna’'s side for a minute.

Athena waited, making sure to look out of the window intermittently, to be sure that the driver was really taking

her home. She didn’t trust any adult, apart from Gianna.

"But you needed the work... are you going back to Q city?"

Athena didn’t know. But she didn’t say that. "Maybe. There are many hospitals begging for my attention. Many

opportunities forto serve the people well."

And that was true. She only chose Zane's hospital because of his father. He was one of the few she had made a

deal with.

She wondered what he would say

She knew then that he was wondering how a young lady like her was living in the most expensive building in the

state.

She laughed when he didn’t reject the generous tip. She laughed harder when he scowled and zoomed away

from her.

What would he do then, when he discovered that she owned the building?

Athena shook her head at the stupid stereotypes about rich women before sauntering into her building.

Nodding to the doormen who bowed as they greeted her, she walked elegantly to the elevator and went up.

At the top floor, which was exclusive to her and her family, she saw Gianna waiting at the door.

"Hey...Gia... sorry, I'm late. Are they still awake?"

Gianna, who had been busy with her phone, shook her head, before giving her friend a bear hug.

"No, | just tucked them into their beds a few minutes ago."

A frown appeared on Gianna’s face as her nostrils caught an unsavory smell.

"You took a cab, again? | told you..."

Athena placed a thumb on her friend's lips. "I was in a hurry, Gianna. There wasn’t a tto call Aidan to pick
