Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel 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.
