14 A Ruckus II Athena was reading the documents her assistant had submitted to her earlier , which detailed the spread of the strange disease around some towns , when she heard the commotion right outside the door .
A smile slithered across her lips when she heard Fionas hysterical scream at Ciara ; an order to open the office doors so that she could get through .
For the guards to let Fiona back into the premises , it could only mean that Ewan had come with her .
Athena shook her head .
The ruckus was far from over .
But she was more than ready for the wacky couple .
Just then her phone started ringing .
When she saw the caller , she piqued an eyebrow .
Zane .

Had Ewan really spoken to him about firing her ? Or was he calling to inform her to accept Fionas request , whatever that was ? Athena silenced the phone , and turned it upside down .
She didnt need Zanes interference .
If he deemed it necessary to interfere , she would resign .
That decided , she placed her hands on the desk , and wore excellently , the posture of the aloof boss that she was .
At the same moment her office door opened , and Ciara led Ewan and Fiona into her mighty office which had a beautiful view of the sky and city .
Probably why Fiona had gone wild with hate the first time .
I tried to stop them , but Mr.
Ewan Giacometti had permission from Mr.
Zane .
Athena nodded slowly , before gesturing that Ciara leave the office .
Give me five minutes before you send the other patients in .
I think I will be done with this case soonest .
Ciara nodded and gave a bow , before leaving the office .
Fiona couldnt stop herself from releasing a cuss word at the assistant , whose only response was silence before she shut the door .
But Athena wouldnt let that go .
ny staff .
She If your fiancée has no self control , then she has to leave .
I wont have her insulting my said calmly , gazing at Ewan with a bored expression .
Before Ewan could respond however , Fiona shouted at Athena .
Are you stupid ? Who do you think you are , speaking about staff and what not ?! Zane assured me that you will be fired today ! Really ? Athena chuckled , and shook her head .
Then , I guess I am out of here .
A Ruckus || She made a show of reaching for her bag , despite knowing that Fiona was lying .
Ewan confirmed her deductions the next second .
Dont mind my fiancée , Athena … Its Doctor Athena to you … Athena interrupted , flipping through the document that was before her .
Ewan stilled at the rebuff , but knew this was what he had to endure to ensure the treatment of the people in his town .
He couldnt afford to mess the chance up because of an old feud that had gone cold .
And there was the fact that she had remarried .
After Sandro had returned with the reports last night , he had been amazed by what he had read -Athenas accomplishments in the past five years had blown his mind ! He read of her education background , and the speed with which she had moved through health fields and education .
It was obvious to him that she had someone backing her.
But who ? The document hadnt explained that .
And a particular years report was missing from the documents ; the year and the next , after she had left the town .
Had it been when she married her husband ? Could the husband be the backer ? Who was he ? And if she was married , why was she frolicking with Zane ? These questions didnt put Athena in a good light before Ewan but he knew he had to push all that aside to obtain help from his ex wife ; not for himself , but for his people .
Doctor Athena , dont mind my fiancée … Mr.
Ewan , she is not worth minding, neither are you .
I gave you both five minutes ; that time is almost up ! Ewans nostrils flared in anger at being treated like a nobody .
Yet for the love of his people , he stood rimrod straight as if he wasnt affected by Athenas subtle insults .
Fiona , however , wasnt exactly wise .
She strolled to Athenas desk , and commanded her to stand up .
You are spoiling for a slap ….
Athena ..
But Athena didnt even spare Fiona a glance .
Instead she looked at Ewan , who understood that his ex wife was expecting him to do something drastic , or lose her attention .
Fiona , leave us ? Fionas mouth dropped open in shock .
And when Athena smiled in satisfaction , Fiona raised her hand to slap her , but Ewan was fast enough to catch her flimsy hand .
me Pwant Let me wine all t gmick from her line ! Dome she know u nosition in the 23 14 A Ruckus i Let me Ewan ! Let me wipe off that smirk from her lips ! Does she know my position in the city ??? But Ewan wasnt having any of Fionas tantrums , not if it could destabilize his plans .
He pulled her to himself , and pushed her toward the door .
Ewan … A glare from the already annoyed male silenced Fiona immediately .
Knowing that Ewan was hanging on a tiny thread , she submissively went to the door , happy at least that his anger wasnt directed toward her .
Surely , this way , he could see that Athena was evil for him ? Before she left , she glared at Athena .
But Athena continued to smile at her , deprecatingly .
Fiona , helpless , held back a retort and walked out of the door .
Immediately she left , Ewan turned to Athena .
Im sorry for that .
She can be a handful .
What do you want , Mr.
Ewan ? Athena wasnt in the mood for small talk .
She went back to reading the documents on the table .
Athe … Doctor Athena … Ewan opened his mouth , then shut it , amazed that he was stuttering .
He couldnt believe it .
Athena had been the one to stutter in front of him years ago , and now he was doing it .
How had the tables turned ? He swallowed his pride still .
Doctor Athena , I need your medical help … Im sure thats the case , as that is the only reason you will be here .
You have one minute more , Mr.
Ewan .
What do you want ? I need your help .
The disease you treated Zanes father for , is spreading in my town .
Fionas mother is plagued by it already .
I know we have a shady past , but can you let bygones be bygones ? We need you to cure her .
A significant pause .
Will you come ? Will you help us ?
