18 Little Revelation The twins are Ewans right ? The white plate in Athenas hand quivered as her hand became unsteady by the virtue of Zanes question .
Already she was in some kind of knot , thinking of the possible union of Fiona and Luca the when and how the possibility had occurred and now Zane comes up with the million dollar question .
But that was to be expected .
Zane hadnt made the deduction earlier because he hadnt known she was affiliated with Ewan .
Now that he knew , he was connecting the obvious dots .
Surely if Zane could do so , then Ewan would too , if he laid his eyes on the kids .
Athena shuddered involuntarily at the court battle that might ensue after that .
However , she was ready if it ever came to that .
That had been factored in her game plans too .
Yes they are .
But I will appreciate it if you keep that Information to yourself Zane raised his two hands , watching Athena dish food into the ceramic plate .
The twins were playing in the sitting room .
I promise , Athena .
The truth wont leave my lips .
Its not my fault that my best friend chose to be foolish six years ago .
Thank you , Zane Zane shrugged his shoulders .
Its the right thing to do .
After all , my father will have my balls on a platter if he finds out that I had betrayed you unjustly .
Yesternight , he almost had them … Athena chuckled and shook her head .
Her earlier worries about Zanes father had been for nothing .
It seemed the old man knew more about her , than he let on .
Will you ever tell him ? Athena shook her head .
But he will find out .
I will prefer it later though .
I need to put some things in order Things like what ? Zanes question was met with only a blank stare , Zane mused and turned away .
That was it again .
He thought .
The mystery that kept pulling him in .
He wasnt sure if he loved Athena , or if he just wanted to unravel her , or if it was the both .
Do you want yours with extra chili sauce ? And like that , the topic was changed changed and lost forever .
Zane sighed and nodded .
He needed enough pepper to push down the frustration that came 18 Little Revelation Extra salt ? She asked , when he took a spoon of food to his mouth .
No.
This is perfect .
A pause .
You didnt ask the question from earlier again ..

Athena shrugged her shoulders .
I didnt want to come off as eager How could she be eager for that reply , when the story of the century had landed on her lap ! Fiona had a child with Luca ! The timing too was crazier ! If Zane was Gianna , she would have enlisted him into stalking the child , getting a hair sample from both the little one and Fiona , and running a DNA test .
But he wasnt Gianna .
When was her best friend coming back ? Wasnt she done with the work emergency ? It was already late .
Meanwhile , Zane laughed at her previous response .
You rarely come off as eager , Athena .
At least you dont make it seem so .
You have perfected the act of human relations .
Athena turned up her lips comically , before closing the pot .
You arent eating ? She shook her head .
Had a heavy lunch .
Lets go .
The children might get silly , after waiting for us .
Like the children of Israel in the old times after Moses went to the mountain ? * Athena scowled .
Zane divulged in laughter .
Three hours later , with the children tucked into bed , Athena and Zane converged in the sitting room Zane plunged into the chair tiredly , causing Athena to laugh .
How do you deal with those hyperactive children of yours … Well , I dont indulge them as you do .
Zane frowned , then gave up , when Athena laughed at him again .
She stopped , however , when a deeper frown metamorphosed in his face .
Whats the problem , Zane ? Just thinking how you were able to take care of them since birth .
Im sure it wasnt easy for you No , it wasnt .
Doesnt mean I want to talk about it either .
Zane accepted the sharp rebuttal , and sought another tople to speak on .
He liked spending time 2/4 18 Little Revelation Zane accepted the sharp rebuttal , and sought another topic to speak on .
He liked spending time with Athena .
About your question carlier , your father made a contract with Ewan some months before your wedding … Athena inhaled sharply , yet softly and reclined deeper in the chair .
She knew whatever she would hear would put some things in a different light .
What contract is that ? Zane sighed , and turned away from the blank stare on Athenas face .
He knew she had pushed her feelings one side , only allowing her brain to process whatever he was going to tell her logically .
Its a long story , but I will cut it short , A slight pause .
As you know , the two towns have always been at loggerheads , sometimes over petty issues , but really they were just competitive ; and to be honest that had helped in the development of the towns and the city as a whole into what it is now .
Athena agreed with a nod .
Well , there was a time when Ewans clan went bankrupt ; during the great collapse of the economy .
That time , your father or rather Zacks grandfather bought a certain land from Ewans grandfather , to help the latter stand in those times .
Money had been an issue .
It was noted that the two towns had peace during that period , since the land was important one .
However , the narrative changed when the two men died … Athena tapped her thighs intermittently , starting a beat.
Zane pretended not to notice , and continued the story .
Zacks father abused the privileges , by using the land as an opportunity to interfere in the affairs of Ewans town .
Ewans father ignored it .
It brought a lot of chaos then .
During Ewans your father to name a price for the time , he wanted to stop it .
So , he met your father .
He ..
land .
Ewan was ready to pay billions to have the land it had been his fathers dying wish .
And he was set to accomplish it , by all means … Athena clenched her fists .
She already knew where the story was heading to .
I told him the offer to make ; we all knew that Zack loved money .
So , we thought he would fall for it .
But Zack brought forth another proposition .
Im sure you can guess what that is … Athena opened her mouth to speak then , words already laced with hatred, when a knock landed on the door .
At first , she thought to ignore it .
Yet the knock landed again .
I know what you are talking about , Zane .
Please , go on .
She turned to the door , picked a remote on the table and pressed the green button on it .
Come in Gia , the door is open .
But she was slightly put off when she didnt hear Glas voice in response , when she saw the 34 18 : Little Revelation Her curiosity piqued , she turned again , immensely startled when she saw who was standing in her sitting room .
It was Ewan .
