20 Played Athena panicked for the first time since Ewan entered her residence .
She had believed her children were asleep an hour ago .
But , again , fate had chosen to play funny games with her .
Her heart beat out of rhythm as she watched Ewan watch her daughter , his daughter- wondering if this was the moment where she would out her entire arsenal children from Ewan and his stupid fiancée .
However , that was not so .
She saw no recognition on Ewans face .
The blue eyes didnt do the trick ? Athena swallowed her unbelief .
to keep her Not wanting to take any chances , she stood up from the sofa , walked to her daughter , and started leading the little one back to the room .
But Kathleen wasnt done .
Who are you , stranger ? She turned and faced Ewan squarely .
Your mothers friend .
Ewan replied , just as fast , enthralled by the little girl with beautiful blue eyes .
Athenas husband must be a handsome man .
The feeling sat uncomfortably on his heart ; he didnt bother deciphering it .
You should take a little aspirin for the headache , beautiful .
Im sure you will be fine by tomorrow .
Ewan couldnt help the sudden velvety feature of his voice .
Yet Kathleen made no indication that she had heard him .
She stared at Ewan keenly , forgetting her godfather who was darting glances between them , his heart hanging on a thin thread , while waiting for the other shoe to drop .
Meanwhile , Ewan shifted on his feet , not knowing what to do with the little girls interest in him .
Did Athena tell the girl about him ? He was about creating an escape from the girls onslaught , when she spoke again .
You look familiar , stranger .
Whats your name ? Do you like children ? It was exactly that moment that Athena discovered what her daughter was trying to do , what her daughter knew about the man before her .
She held back a hiss , drew Kathleens hand stiffly and walked to the childrens room , without a word to the males behind her .
He didnt recognize me , mom .
Did you see it ? He didnt recognize his own daughter , despite our similar eyes Athenas anger and zeal to scold her daughter was diffused by that singular statement when they got to the childrens room .
20 Played She sighed , and bent to her daughters height ; sighing again when she saw the tears cascading her daughters checks .
He doesnt deserve your tears .
She said simply , before wiping the tears and drawing the little one to her bosom .
Im not going to ask how you found out he was your father , but I am going to ask that you stop keeping tabs on him .
He might not be worth it .
Tell your brother too .
I dont want your heart broken .
Kathleen made no such promise .

She only nodded her head , and walked out of her mothers hug .
Let me get you aspirin , Kate … Kathleen shook her head , before getting on her bed .
I feel better now .
Athenas jaw slackened at being played at .
Her daughter had never had a headache in the first place ! She had wanted her father to see her .
Why ? Athena wasnt sure .
She looked at her children with their eyes closed , and wondered if they had been awake all this time She walked to Nathaniels bed , and placed a finger underneath his nostrils .
He was actually sleeping .
Mom , stop .
I came out because I heard his voice .
It was familiar to Nates , only deeper .
Athena jerked , hearing her daughters voice .
When she turned , Kathleen was staring at her boredly .
Just send him away , Mom .
I dont want to see him in this house again .
Athena was just about to do that .
Yet she worried about her daughters anger .
As much as she hated Ewan and wanted nothing to do with him , she didnt really want him to be at loggerheads with his kids .
Maybe she would strike a balance later .
She thought , dropping a kiss on Kates head .
But for now she had to send the brute out .
However when she returned to the sitting room , Ewan was already gone .
Good for him .
He left immediately you went in with Kathleen .
Do you think he knows ? Athena shrugged .
Im not sure .
But Kathleen is angry that her father didnt recognize her .
I can understand that .
They are too similar .
Maybe because shes a girl ? Might have been different with Nathaniel … Athena couldnt agree more .
But how does she know hes the one ? Zane asked after a few beats .
20 Played Athena didnt answer the question .
She didnt think it wise to let Zane know about Nathaniels .
whiz skills .
So you were saying something about a contract Ewan had with my father … Zane understood the topic had been dumped , and nodded his head , even though he wanted to inquire why she was so secretive .
So , complete the story … Athena said , after waiting for Zane to pick up from where he left off .
Well … Another knock dropped on the door .
Athena swore , got to her feet , and hurried to the door , ready to oust Ewan , but Gianna was the one that stood behind the door this time .
Athena , why do you seem tense ? Gianna asked , as she walked into the sitting room with Athena .
She dropped her bag on the floor , when Athena said nothing , and hugged her friend a hug that ran cold when she saw Zane a few feet away .
Before she could speak another word , Zane got up from the sofa , and walked to the door , ardently avoiding Gianna as a plague .
He muttered a goodnight to Athena and slipped away from her sight through the door .
Athenas jaw slackened for the second time tonight .
She turned to her friend .
The latter was already heading to the kitchen .
She flung up her hands dramatically .
What the hell ! As she made to follow Gianna into the kitchen , her phone rang with a text .
Furrowing her eyebrows , she stopped by the table and collected her phone , thinking it was a credit alert message .
When she saw the contents of the message however, she hissed , deleted the message and blocked the number , before continuing to the kitchen .
Meanwhile , back at the childrens room , Kate tapped Nathaniels arm softly , waking him up .
Comme .
