Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313: Finding Morgan III

Ewan willed his heart to remain calm when he finally heard the ticking sound, a sound that couldn’t possibly be a clock’s because of the weight of each tick and its regularity.

He knew what it was, knew when the realization of the same flashed across Athena’s eyes; became amazed when that realization shifted to a deathly calm, a mirror of his own feelings.

"So I was right. Morgan did really set a trap. Someone did inform him of our coming." Athena stated calmly, while her eyes left Ewan to search for the ticking time bomb. Hopefully, they would be able to deactivate it before it exploded.

"Where do you think it was kept?"

"I don’t think that matters." Ewan uttered, even though his eyes searched too for the bomb. His right leg was already swerving to the location behind him, where he thought he was hearing the sound loudest.

"Why so?" Athena queried, already following Ewan’s lead.

This time, Ewan didn’t answer. He rather followed his instincts, which led him to a corner of the room they hadn’t seen before because of its positioning; it was darker than the rest of the room, like shadows were congregating there.

That was where Ewan found the bomb, nestled to a pink Barney doll.

His heart finally shook, when he discovered that they had barely seven seconds to clear the building—not enough time to defuse the bomb.

"Athena, run!"

His calmness broke, and with insane agility, he grabbed Athena’s hand and ran like their lives depended on it. For their lives did actually depend on it.

Unfortunately, the door that had led them into the room was shut tight for some reason.

Athena started to panic, counting down the time in her head. They had barely four seconds left!

Ewan, without having the luxury to think, took a few steps back and kicked the door with all his might. The door fell flat to the other side of the room, giving him the hope to cling to life.

Without thinking much about his powerful kick, fueled by an insane amount of adrenaline and duty to keep his wife safe, he headed toward the entrance, his eyes shutting immediately as they ran out of the open entrance—not in relief, but because the timer in his head had gone off.

"Dive with all your strength..." He muttered, freeing Athena’s hand, right before there was a loud BOOM!!! And everything faded into nothingness, into blackness.

"Mr. Ewan! Mr. Ewan!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Ewan’s eyes fluttered; his senses reawakening as he heard the urgent cry of his name.

Athena. Where is she?

That was the first thought that pierced through his mind.

He needed to save her.

That waking thought spurred him to finally open his eyes wide, to discard the burning sensation on his back and the pain wracking his limbs.

His entire concern was Athena.

"Where is Athena?" He asked, but it came out as a whisper. His throat was parched, like all the liquid in his body had been sucked and drained by the fire he had almost been in.

"Madam is fine. She is resting in the car."

"When you say resting?" Ewan tried to get up into a sitting position, noticing that he was sprawled on the floor and that his mouth was covered with sandy particles.

"She is alive and awake. Just weak and zoned out. She only stayed put because we promised to bring you in..."

Ewan wasn’t sure why the driver had added that last part, but he could also see the picture. She had woken up first and had come for him.
