30 Boss Woman How was Gianna this morning ? Athena opened her tablet , as she questioned Aiden , her driver and bodyguard .
To the outsiders , he was a mere driver with lean muscles , but Athena had trained with him in the same martial arts academy , and knew what he was capable of .
She was actually honored to have him , even though he claimed that he was the one honored to serve her .
Gianna looked downtrodden this morning .
She tried covering her dull face with make up , and an earnestness to work , but I thought she still looked sad .
I think she w also be working late today ; she told me to let you know that you should pick up the kids after school .
Athena sighed , and looked up .
Gianna and Zane .
Could she hold back her thirst for the knowledge of their history ? How long will she be able to hold on ? And the twins ? How are they ? Just the same .

Only that they seemed sad about something A pause .
Did something happen last night or earlier this morning ? They used their skills again .
Athena muttered , swiping through pages on her tablet ..
Aiden chuckled softly , smoothly moving the car through edges .
You know you shouldnt begrudge them , they are only looking out for you .
But it should be the other way around … Athena cut in frustratingly .
I want a level battleground with Ewan … I dont want my kids having their childhood tainted with crisis .
They should leave that to me .
Aiden sighed , and parked the car by the side of the road .
Athena came down immediately and joined him in the front seat .
This was like a ritual for them .
Whenever Aiden parked the car by the roadside while on a journey , it meant he wanted to talk with her .
Alden was like the father she never had , the father Zack never was .
They had met at the martial arts academy , and through a series of events , have become in some way , inseparable .
14 When he turned forty eight last year , she had thrown him a little retirement party , but he had been adamant about staying to protect her and the children after the last mishap they survived .
She wondered when he would finally retire .
She would miss him .
He also knew about her past with Ewan , her childrens skills , and her capabilities , to an extent .
Athena … Athena reclined deeper into the car seat , facing straight ahead , waiting for the sage advice that Aiden was always known for , even back then .
Do you really need to get back at Ewan ? You know , we can up and leave the continent .
I know you will mention the disease , but you can leave your research to some doctors … I dont trust a lot of people , Aiden .
You know that .
And my research is very precious .
Who knows what one of those greedy doctors can do with it ? You know how money can be controlling … Aiden tapped the steering wheel in thought .
Thats right .
So , the only option is to stay and fight .
Athena nodded simply .
There was no need to scowl or rage at Aiden .
He was different .
Aiden clucked his tongue .
Having lived a life of violence and war for the longest time , I crave peace , and see it as a priceless commodity .
A pause .
Athena , Im not asking that you forgive Ewan he did something very stupid , Im asking that your crave peace too , for the sake of your children .
We are partners now .
Athena dropped , trying to show Aiden that she was trying at least .
Aiden piqued his eyebrow .
He was the one you met up with earlier , before Zane ? Athena nodded .
We had an agreement of sorts .
So what is this about , getting back at him ? Aiden , even though Zane explained to me the reasons for Ewans behavior during our marriage , it doesnt excuse his misdeeds against me .
Athena inhaled softly .
If I was cunning as he had thought , why would I have followed him around like a lost puppy for three years ? Which girl would agree to be a breeder for her father ? Which reasonable girl would want her son to be raised by her cold father ? Athena scoffed bitterly .
He claims to be wise and business minded .
Why then hadnt he questioned some things ? Why had he readily believed I was a whore , despite knowing how crazy I was about him , despite knowing I was still a virgin when we married ? Athenas eyes watered , before she could help it .
Why hadnt he come for my mothers burial when she had been so good to him ? Why hadnt he faithful ? Why did he tear my reputation to shreds and banish me out of the city ? All because of his anger at my father ? 24 C Boss Woman Athena shook her head .
He is wicked .
He has to pay for his wrongs .
Aiden nodded .
I know , Athena , but I assure you , being partners is best for everyone , the kids .
As a matter of fact , I think you have already gotten your revenge ..
Athena furrowed her eyebrows , and looked at him , waiting for an explanation .
including Your kids .
The worst thing to befall a prideful man is being an unknown factor in his childrens life .
Aiden chuckled softly .
But it isnt enough , is it ? Athena shrugged her shoulders .
You and Gianna are the same .
Nevertheless , I wont get back at him , not in the way you guys think , but in the business sense … Thats the sense I am actually talking about , Athena .
You are trying to shut down his company ? Athena pouted .
She could never get something past Aiden .
It had been the first plan , but knowing his earlier situation with my father , Ive settled on just having a strong hold on the company , like getting at least forty percent of shares .
Aiden laughed , and started the car .
You will never change , will you ? No.
Im done changing .
Ill be securing my childrens future from now on .
Ill think of them first .
Thanks Aiden .
Just pray Ewan doesnt provoke me first .
Aiden laughed , as Athena opened the door , and returned to the back seat .
I hope for his sake that he doesnt .
How about Zack and Alfonso … Athena smirked .
The plans are the same .
Aiden nodded , and drove into the road .
Just then , Athenas phone rang .
It was Ethan .
She fixed her Bluetooth in her ear and picked the call .
Ethan , where are you ? At home .
Did Gianna tell you of my visit ? Yes , she did .
Im sorry I didnt call you back .
But she passed your message .
Did you get mine ? Yes boss , I did .
The plan is going fine , they trust me now .
About the company , how many percent should I put up for sale ? Two percent : There was silence over the phone .
Only two ? Athena nodded .
Yes , know how to share it between them A pause .
Give Ewan one percent .
Give Zack 0.1 percent .
Okay boss , as you wish .
He actually visited today… 30 Boss Woman Athena piqued her right eyebrow .
He was asking for an increase , from the earlier five percent to twenty percent … Athena chuckled .
They must have started seeing the potential of her company .
Let him have the 0.1 percent .
If he is not interested , he can go .
Okay boss , I will document them .
And Ethan ? Yes boss … If I see you in my apartment again , I will skin you alive … Ethan laughed .
Of course boss .
Ill keep my distance .
Athena smiled and hung up .
They couldnt know that Ethan was in any way related to her .
It would spoil her well laid plans
