10 Stupidest Deduction Wife ? Thats far fetched .
Athena muttered tepidly , when Zanes face turned bright red after Ewans declaration .
She watched Zane still , as his eyes narrowed , and became dark 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 Athenas gaze , breathing heavily , hoping to see her share the same anger .

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 .
Didnt 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 wouldnt forget this moment .
Athena … shit ! Athena yawned again , after hearing Zane cuss out .
Yes , she had lied to him .
Yes , she had been Ewans wife at one time .
Yes , Ewans stocks had plunged after their divorce .
But so what ? She didnt kill anyone .
Well , at least not yet .
And she had no time for these shenanigans .
She had to be home .
Zane , can we leave here ? Can we discuss this later , at home ? I promise , theres more to the story .
You havent heard my side of the story yet .
Athena couldnt hold it in again , when she heard Zane cuss underneath his breath for the third time .
She didnt hear his exact words this time around , but she knew that he was very furious at being lied to .
He was angry with her .
10 Stupidest Deduction If she had known that he was in any way related to Ewan , she would have turned down the offer ; she wouldnt have come here .
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 didnt know her from ada This was totally not how she had foreseen this night .
Being at enmity with Zane .
cave ? 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 dramatically , drawing attention from the other party attendees .
ever , to The guests didnt move closer to them , but Athena knew their cars were as sharp as o 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 trio that were staring at her , each with differing emotions on their faces ..
Wicked ? Getting back to Ewan ? Thats the stupidest deduction Ive heard in my whole life ; thats apart from the best friendship tag you both enjoyed while frolicking behind my back , and the allegation that had exiled me from the city six years ago .
a A heavy pause , where she stared at Fiona like the latter was the scum of the earth .
Fiona , youre still as dumb as ever .
And that doesnt speak well of your fiancé .
Then she reverted to Zane , whose anger has been replaced with a sheer aloofness that grated on Athenas nerves .
It reminded her of the years she had labored emotionally under Ewan , trying to garner his favor and attention .
She wont 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 offered me earlier .
Find some other doctor .
I cant work for someone who doesnt trust me .
I cant work for someone with a low IQ Gasps exploded around her , but Athena wasnt 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 omandu to hold her and le 10 Stupidest Deduction Even though her relationship with Zane was now strained , she didnt want him on her bad side yet .
She would give him another chance yet .
She decided .
For his fathers sake .
Her phone rang then .
It was Gianna .
Hey , what happened at the party ?! I 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 wasnt 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 hadnt been paying attention since Giannas first shout .
Did you know that Zane was Ewans best friend .
Athena shook her head .
Athena ?? Athena sighed before she spoke .
No.
So , what are you going to do ? I quit the position Zane offered me .
I saw the look on his face when Ewan called me a whore .
He regretted hiring me .
I made the work and paper process easier .
Our friendship has been nice.
while it lasted .
There was silence on Giannas 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 didnt trust any adult , apart from Gianna .
But you needed the work … are you going back to Q city ? Athena didnt know .
But she didnt say that .
Maybe .
There are many hospitals begging for my attention .
Many opportunities for me to serve the people well .
And that was true .
She only chose Zanes hospital because of his father .
He was one of the few she had made a deal with .
She wondered what he would say when the news got to him , and shook her head .
There was no need to worry her head about that for now .
She needed to go home and rest .
Stop here please ..
The driver stopped at a high rise skyscraper .
10 Stupidest Deduction As she came down , and bent to tip the driver , she noticed that he looked at her skeptically , that he looked at the generous tip in her hand suspiciously .
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 didnt 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 , Im late .
Are they still awake ? Gianna , who had been busy with her phone , shook her head , before giving her friend a bear hug.
No , I just tucked them into their beds a few minutes ago .
A frown appeared on Giannas face as her nostrils caught an unsavory smell .
You took a cab , again ? I told you … Athena placed a thumb on her friends lips .
I was in a hurry , Gianna .
There wasnt a time to call Aidan to pick me up .
Im safe .
Arent I ? Giana pouted , turned and walked into the large sitting room .
Athena followed behind , dropping her bag on the nearest table , after shutting the door .
She also followed Gianna to the two seater and fell tiredly on it , sighing heavily when her friend .
started speaking again .
That youre safe this time , doesnt mean you will be safe another time Athena looked at the high rise ceiling .
Are you wishing me bad luck , friend ? Gianna glared at Athena and huffed .
Whatever .
Your food is in the kitchen .
Eat and freshen up .
We have a lot to talk about .
Ethan came searching for you earlier .
Athena furrowed her eyebrows , before looking at her friend .
Ethan ? What is he doing here ? He shouldnt be here ! However , before Gianna could calm the fire raging in her friends eyes , a loud scream of pain pierced the quiet night .
Instantly .
Athena was on her feet .
Worry shone on her face , as she placed her right hand on her chest and glared at Gianna .
