Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours! - Chapter 290

Chapter 290: Secret Operations II
“Are you lot not going to introduce yourselves?” The mercenary’s voice boomed, slicing through the tension in the air and abruptly pulling Athena and Aiden out of their shocked silence.

They hadn’t been expecting Kovan, one of the notorious twin mercenaries known for their intimidating presence and ruthless methods.

What was he doing here? Athena wondered, even as she offered her trademark smile, a mix of confidence and charm, aimed at the bulky man before her.

Did he recognize her?

After all, she had been the one to take down his twin brother. It didn’t matter that she had worn a mask—these things had a way of getting around, especially in circles like theirs.

“We are here to see Cecil and Lincoln,” She stated lightly, her hand extending for a handshake, hoping to disarm him with her friendliness.

But Kovan scrutinized her, his sharp eyes trailing from her head to her toes, dismissing her outstretched hand with an air of disdain.

“Have no idea what you’re talking about, woman. Are you sure you are in the right neighborhood?” He countered dismissively, shaking his head as if to clear away the absurdity of their presence.

Athena laughed, the sound light but edged with annoyance. “Of course! Just tell them that the A2 are here.”

Kovan opened his mouth to deliver a snide response, but Aiden tsked, interrupting him to grab his attention.

“Just do what the woman tells you to do, son. You don’t want to see her angry. Neither do you want to keep your bosses’ friends outside.”

Kovan’s frown deepened as he scrutinized the trio again, his gaze hesitating on Ewan, the billionaire businessman.

Of course, he recognized Athena—the doctor who had disrupted their business interests—and Aiden, her sidekick. However, he didn’t know they were linked to his bosses.

Had they been working together all this time? Thoughts raced through his mind as he pursed his lips in confusion.

“I’m not your son, old man,” Kovan finally shot back, before abruptly shutting the door in their faces.

“Do you think he’ll be coming back?” Ewan asked, breaking the tense silence that enveloped them like a shroud again.

“I don’t know,” Athena muttered, glancing around in uncertainty. “I didn’t even know he would be here.”

“Let’s hope for the best then,” Ewan replied, his eyes scanning the area for any hidden surveillance beyond Spider and the cyber team he worked with.

“But this might jeopardize our plans. Kovan alone is a variable that could alter everything. Who knows how many more might be lurking around?”Aiden stated, a trace of doubt creeping into his voice as he swept his eyes across the environment.

Before Athena could offer a response, the door swung open once again, but this time, it wasn’t Kovan.

“The A2!!” A male voice boomed from the other side, as a tall figure with a broad grin swept forward, embracing Athena first.

She giggled, not stepping away from the flurry of kisses that descend on her cheeks next.

Ewan’s frustration simmered beneath the surface as he watched the scene unfold, wanting to slap the man’s mouth away from his body.

The male extended a one-sided hug to Aiden next.

Ewan marveled at how his two colleagues exchanged laughter and teasing banter with their target as if they were merely catching up over drinks.

“Cecil, it’s been a long time! Since you wouldn’t check on us… well, here we are,” Aiden joked, laughing as Cecil playfully struck his shoulder.

It wasn’t until Cecil turned his gaze toward Ewan, taking in the billionaire’s blank expression, that his energy shifted.

“You brought the billionaire businessman too…” He remarked, curiosity lacing his tone. He was well aware of Ewan’s status, even remembering the whispers about his relationship with Athena. Why was he here?

“Yeah. We are also here for business,” Athena replied, a cheeky smile blossoming on her lips.

“I see…” Cecil mused, before stepping back and opening the door wider. “Please, come in then. Lincoln will be joining us soon; he’s in the restroom.”

Athena scrunched her nose, prompting another round of boisterous laughter from Cecil. “You still haven’t changed, woman—dissing people without saying a word!”

Athena laughed in return, settling into one of the plush, expensive sofas. Ewan followed suit, taking a seat beside her, while Aiden found a spot on a different couch.

Kovan and three others lingered in the background, pretending to be engrossed in their phones, a facade not lost on Athena.

She exchanged a furtive glance with Aiden. What was next?

“So, what business are you here for?”

Lincoln’s arrival interrupted the moment, and greetings and hugs erupted once more.

However, when Lincoln met Aiden, he scowled, refusing to shake his hand, choosing rather to fold his arms across his chest.

“Why would you divorce my sweet cousin? You promised me you wouldn’t break her heart?”

Athena was taken aback by this revelation, her mouth falling slightly agape.

Ewan, on the other hand, wasn’t surprised; Spider had filled him in on details about this culprit of theirs. And it had made him wonder if Aiden had dropped the truth on his ex-wife.

However, knowing how stuck up Aiden could be, Ewan guessed the answer was a resounding no.

Meanwhile, Aiden was at a loss for words. A moment later, he sighed and shrugged his shoulders. “It just didn’t work out, no matter how hard I tried for it to.”

“I see…” Lincoln muttered before suddenly delivering a strong punch to Aiden that sent the other man tumbling into a chair, blood trickling from his mouth.

“Aiden!” Athena screamed, horrified and enraged.

The trio in the dining area erupted into laughter, their amusement stark against the backdrop of violence.

Ewan remained calm, regarding the fracas as just boys’ banter.

“What the hell, Lincoln!” Athena shouted, her eyes ablaze with fury.

But Lincoln simply winked at her as he sank into a sofa, unfazed. “I just had to do it for my cousin. So, back to business… why are you lot here? It must be important if Aiden is here, not minding my presence…”

“We are here to make a report…” Aiden sputtered through his bloodied lips, slowly getting to his feet as he garnered everyone’s attention, giving Ewan just the opportunity he needed to send an SOS to the team.

The potency of Lincoln’s blow showed that age had done nothing to diminish these people’s strength. Worse, they were all as ruthlessly trained as Aiden—these were not mere politicians who could be cowed by a gun.

“And what report is that?” Cecil asked, crossing his legs with an expectant expression masking his face.

“Well, there’s something going on at the Nimbus operation. We have a mole there working with the Black Scorpions gang,” Aiden supplied, shocking Athena and Ewan.

This wasn’t the plan they had agreed on.
