Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours! - Chapter 13

Chapter 13: A Ruckus
“Remember to wait for Aunt Gianna under that shade after school dismissal…”

Athena pointed to the shade she was referring to, as she and her children came out of the principal’s office.

The twins nodded, smiling adorably at her. They jumped excitedly, holding her hands, as she walked them to their classroom.

“And please don’t make any trouble in class…”

Kathleen pouted at her mother’s implied reprimand. “Mom, we are not trouble makers!”

Athena nodded solemnly, causing Nathaniel to chuckle. His mother knew them well enough.

“We will try, mom—if no one looks for either of our troubles. But we will keep our troubles safe, and out of reach.”

Athena hoped, for the sake of other children, that they hid their troubles properly. Her children could be problematic when they chose to be.

When they got to the classroom , she squatted to their height, and dropped a kiss on their forehead. “Listen to your teachers, sweethearts. I will ask you questions when you get home…”

The twins nodded, before dropping a kiss on her cheeks. “We will pay utmost attention! Also promise us to be safe today…”

Athena furrowed her eyebrows at the strange request, but nodded all the same.

Just at the same time, the twins exchanged furtive glances; Kathleen brought out a toy watch from her bag, and handed it over to her mother. “To remember us… even while you work…”

Athena chuckled, wondering at the sudden need for remembrance. They didn’t give her this when they had lived away from the city. Why now?

But she took the gift, happy to have it.

“It’s cute.” She spoke as she wore it on her left wrist. She didn’t care that the watch looked childish. Because it came from her children, she would treasure it with her life.

She was so engrossed with dropping another round of appreciation kisses on their cheeks and foreheads, that she didn’t notice the red light that blinked twice and stopped at the edge of the watch.

“Good bye…” She waved after them, as they walked into their class, feeling bereft as she always did when they parted ways for even a second. It reminded her of those days that had been bleak and drab.

She sighed, drew herself away from the sad memories, and turned toward the exit gate. Her driver was waiting.

Last night, after working, she had emailed Zane a resignation letter. He had given her a response two minutes later, as if he had been expecting her email.

He hadn’t accepted her resignation. Rather, he had booked her a dinner, to discuss some things.

Already, Athena knew it was about Ewan’s stupid speech.

However, because of Zane’s father, she had agreed to meet him after work today.

She checked her new watch, the time was actually working. She chuckled as she entered the car, and told Aiden to drive. She loved her kids!

When she got to the hospital, she sighed when she saw a queue behind the reception desk.

Looking to the other side, she followed the back door, and went up to her office, refusing to be swamped by overzealous patients, or their families. It was too early for that.

As she got into her office, she said a little prayer for the day, and set about arranging the documents on her table. After that, she informed her personal assistant, through the telephone, to send in her first patient for the day.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Athena righted herself on her seat, before beckoning on the knocker to come in.

When the door opened, Athena saw the surprised look on her assistant’s face—noting it must be because she hadn’t come through the front door—before she saw Fiona.

But Fiona already saw her first, if the contortion of the latter’s face with fury was any indication.

Oh well. What a bad start to a work day. Athena mused, waiting for the other shoe to drop as Fiona stepped properly into her office.

“What are you doing here?” Fiona demanded, after scrutinizing the large office—as if it was too pure to be tainted by a strange woman—causing Athena to pique her eyebrow at the disturbance she wasn’t ready for this morning.

When Athena gave her no reply, Fiona hissed and turned to the personal assistant. “What is the city’s whore doing here? She was fired a few hours ago!”

The personal assistant was lost for words. She didn’t get the memo.

Athena inhaled and exhaled tiredly. She looked at the name tag on her assistant’s shirt. “Ciara, take the mad woman out of here. I don’t think she is ready for treatment.”

“Me? A mad woman? Do you know…” Fiona pushed Ciara away when the latter tried to pull her out of the office.

“You stinking secretary! If you touch me again, I’ll make sure you spend your remaining days on earth in jail!”

Ciara kept her hands to herself. She knew who Fiona was.

Athena chuckled softly. “Ciara, don’t be afraid. Call security to throw her out then. Don’t waste a second.”

Ciara obeyed instantly. Athena was still her boss.

Picking her phone, she dialed the security, watching with curiosity as Fiona glared at her boss. What could be the history between them?

“There’s a mad woman in our boss’ office. Come take her away.”

Fiona glared at Ciara again, but Athena’s calmness gave Ciara the boost she needed to remain rooted in the face of Fiona’s anger.

“Do you know who I am? You stupid secretary? I will make sure you lose your job today! Ewan Giacometti will make sure of that!”

Caira faltered then, but Athena won’t have any of that.

“See the fool bragging with a man’s name!” Athena chuckled again. ” They aren’t even married yet. For all we know, he might be using her to warm his bed.”

Fiona saw red. She was about to walk up to Athena, when the guards arrived.

The guards looked at Athena for instruction, having recognized Fiona as Ewan’s fiancée.

“Throw out the mad woman!” Athena ordered, a sly smirk on her lips.

“How dare you?!” Fiona screamed when the two guards bundled her up.

As they carried her out, she turned to Athena, her eyes flashing with fury.

“I saw Zane and Ewan this morning. They were talking about your position. Zane promised to fire you. And I know he will, you whore! You will be fired by the end of today! Ewan will come for you too, wait for it!”

Athena snorted, and let the chair swirl her in a 360 degree motion, twice.

She will wait. She loved the waiting game after all.
