A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 148 : Tension Rise
Tensions Rise Daymon’s POV Artemis sat curled up on the couch, her arms wrapped around her knees as she stared out the window. The city lights outside flickered against the glass, but her expression remained unreadable. She was here, safe in his penthouse, yet she felt miles away. Daymon knew she was hurting. He had known Artemis long enough to recognize when she was forcing herself to be strong, even when she was breaking inside. Aiden had done this to her. Aiden. Just thinking about him made Daymon’s jaw clench. He hated seeing Artemis like this—heartbroken, doubting herself, questioning the love she had given so freely. And for what? Aiden’s recklessness? His inability to protect what he had? I know maybe I'm being harsh right now. Daymon sighed and walked toward her, setting a cup of tea on the small table beside her. “You should drink something. You haven’t eaten all day.” She glanced at the cup but didn’t reach for it. “I’m fine.” “That’s a lie,” he said gently. Her lips
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-17A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 149 : The Truth Unravealed
Artemis’ POV I didn’t expect to find anything. I wasn’t even looking for it. But there it was—staring back at me from the screen of Daymon’s laptop, a single email that changed everything. A blurry, timestamped security footage was attached, showing the very night Aiden had supposedly been with that woman. But instead of him in the club, the video showed him somewhere else—miles away at a different location, completely unaware of the storm brewing behind his back. I gripped the edge of the desk, my heart slamming against my ribs. This was proof. Proof that he had been telling the truth. Proof that I had been wrong. The guilt hit me like a wrecking ball. I could barely breathe as I scrolled down, my fingers trembling. There were more attachments—photos, reports, transactions—all pointing to one person. Kane. Kane orchestrated this. I blinked rapidly, my vision blurring. How could I have been so stupid? How could I have doubted Aiden, even for a second? I had walked away f
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-17A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 150: Fighting For Her
Aiden’s POV I had always known betrayal. I had seen it in business deals, among rivals, even within my own bloodline. But I had never expected to feel it from her. She believed it. She believed the lies, the forged pictures, the whispers in the dark that Kane had carefully planned. And the worst part was that she had walked away. I need her to be stronger than this. If we were going to do this we need to prepared for what's coming. I can't expect her to up and leave whenever things weren't going out way. I had spent the past few days trying to push the anger down, trying to remind myself that Artemis had come back, that she had admitted she was wrong. But every time I looked at her, every time I remembered the way she had doubted me so easily, it cut me open all over again. I wanted to forgive her. I wanted to move forward. But trust wasn’t something that could be rebuilt overnight. And that’s why I was going to make sure Kane never had the chance to manipulate her—or anyone else
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-17A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 151 : A Choice To Make
Artemis’ POV I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at my hands, my mind a tangled mess of emotions. The truth had come out. Aiden had been framed. Kane had orchestrated the entire thing. I had been wrong about him. So why did I still feel torn? Aiden was my everything—the man I had given my heart to. But Daymon had been there when I needed someone the most. He had comforted me, stood by me without question. In the days I spent away from Aiden, I had seen a different side of him, a man who made me feel safe in ways I hadn’t realized I needed. And now, I had to choose. A sharp knock on my door pulled me from my thoughts. My heart skipped a beat as I stood, already knowing who it was before I even reached for the handle. When I opened the door, Aiden was standing there. And just behind him, Daymon. The tension between them was suffocating. I swallowed hard. "What's going on?" Aiden’s jaw was clenched, his eyes dark and unreadable. "We need to talk." Daymon stepped forward sligh
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-17A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 152 : A Cozy Night In
Artemis’ POV There was something different about tonight. A stillness, a peace that I hadn't felt in so long. For months, it had been tension and uncertainty, distance and hurt. But tonight, there was none of that. Tonight, it was just Aiden and me. And for once, we weren’t walking on eggshells around each other and I must admit for the first time, it really felt nice. At least we both get to be ourselves unapologetically. It started with a simple idea—a night in. No events, no business calls, no outside world interfering, Just us. At first, it felt strange, almost too good to be true, was waiting for the it was all a prank or I am so sorry something came up as usual, it just never happened, it was just us. But as the night unfolded, I let myself believe in it. In him. In us and in what the night has in stock for us. We settled on the couch, a soft throw blanket draped over my legs as Aiden lazily flipped through the channels. The glow from the TV screen flickered across his face, h
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-17A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 153: Rekindle Love
Artemis’ POV For the first time in what felt like forever, there was peace. Not just the absence of chaos, but real, tangible peace. The kind that settled deep into my bones and made me believe—truly believe—that maybe, just maybe, this was real. That Aiden and I had finally found our way back to each other. The morning light cast a soft golden hue across the bedroom, warming my skin as I stretched under the covers. Aiden’s arm was heavy over my waist, his breath slow and steady against my shoulder. Even in sleep, he held onto me like he was afraid I’d slip away. I turned my head slightly, taking him in—the tousled dark hair, the strong jawline softened by sleep, the way his lashes cast faint shadows against his cheek. He looked younger like this, free of the weight he always carried. I reached out, brushing my fingers along his jaw, tracing the faint stubble there. His lips twitched slightly, and then his grip on me tightened as he shifted closer. “Are you watching me sleep?” His
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-18A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 154: A Night To Remember
Artemis’ POV I should have known Aiden had something planned when he told me to be ready by eight on the dot and refused to give any details. He can be so stubborn at times. But I hadn’t expected this. The rooftop was transformed into something out of a dream. Fairy lights draped above us, casting a golden glow over the intimate dinner setup. The cool night air carried the faint scent of roses, and the distant hum of the city below only made this moment feel more secluded, more special. Aiden stood beside me, his presence warm, grounding. His hand rested lightly on my lower back, guiding me toward the table. I turned to him, my voice barely above a whisper. “Aiden… did you do all of this?” Impressed was an understatement, he really outdid himself I loved it. He smirked, the kind that made my stomach flip. “Who else?” My chest tightened. He wasn’t usually the type for grand romantic gestures—not like this. He showed love through quiet actions, through fierce protection. But tonig
Huling Na-update : 2025-02-18A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 155: A Trap In Silence
Kane’s POV Power was a game, and I had played it long enough to know that patience always won. From where I stood, I could see everything—the glittering ballroom, the swirling conversations, the way Artemis glowed beside Aiden like she was meant to be there. It was disgusting. She was meant to be mine. I swirled the whiskey in my glass, forcing a relaxed posture, even though anger simmered beneath my skin. How many times had I watched Aiden take everything that should have been mine? The empire, the respect, the glory, the fame, Artemis. But not tonight, nope, I disagree with every single vein in my body, not anymore. I took a slow sip, watching as my carefully laid plan fell into place. The woman I had paid was already making her way toward Aiden. A perfect mixture of seduction and feigned innocence, she was exactly the kind of trap that would catch Artemis’ eye. And Aiden, that arrogant bastard, wouldn’t see it coming. I had ensured that everything was timed to perfection. The

A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 200: The Final Fight
(Artemis’ POV) I knew something was wrong the moment I tried to stand. Pain. Sharp, deep, and all-consuming. For weeks, I had ignored the discomfort, brushing off Aiden’s concerns, assuring everyone that I was fine. I had always been strong—had survived things that should’ve killed me. But this? This was different. I braced myself against the vanity, sucking in a sharp breath. Aiden was already watching me from across the room, his arms crossed, his expression unreadable—but I could see the tension in his jaw, the way his hands flexed, ready to catch me if I fell. "You should rest today," he said, stepping toward me. I rolled my eyes. "I’ve rested enough." "Artemis." His voice was firm, a warning. I turned, meeting his gaze, ready to argue—when the pain struck again. It was like my bod
A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 199: The Hardest Battle Yet
(Artemis’ POV)Pregnancy wasn’t supposed to feel like this.I had expected discomfort, sure. I had expected my body to change. But this… this was something else entirely.The exhaustion was unbearable.At first, I thought it was just the lingering effects of our honeymoon—late nights in Paris, stolen kisses in hidden alleyways, and mornings wrapped in silk sheets with Aiden refusing to let me leave the bed. But then the nausea started, and I knew something was wrong.I tried to push through it, keeping up with my work, but even Naomi noticed."Boss, you look like you’re about to pass out," she said, frowning as she set down a stack of files. "You should rest.""I'm fine," I muttered, waving her off, but the moment I stood, the room spun.I barely heard Naomi calling my name before strong arms caught me."Artemis."Aiden.His voice was tight, controlled—but his grip was anything but. He held me as if I’d shatter, his eyes scanning me for injuries."You’re not fine," he said. "We’re goi
A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 198: An Unexpected Surprise
I woke up sore.A deep, aching soreness that was both a reminder and a warning. Last night had been… intense. More than I expected. More than I could have imagined. My body felt like it had been claimed, worshipped, and thoroughly ruined, all at once.Aiden wasn’t in bed, but the warmth on his side hadn’t faded yet. I blinked up at the ceiling, barely able to move, and then I smelled it—coffee. The scent curled into the room, rich and inviting, followed by the quiet creak of the bedroom door."You're awake."I turned my head and found Aiden standing in the doorway, carrying a tray.My stomach flipped. He was shirtless, his sweatpants hanging dangerously low, his hair slightly tousled from sleep. But it was the look in his eyes—the satisfaction, the possessiveness—that made my breath catch.He set the tray down beside me. A glass of water. Coffee. Toast. Painkillers."I figured you'd need this."I huffed out a laugh. "You think?"Aiden smirked but didn’t argue. Instead, he sat on the e
A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 197: A Wedding To Remember
Artemis' POVParis.The city of love, of whispered promises, of things that felt like forever. It wasn’t the first time we had been here. The last time had been chaos—high-stakes deals, power plays, and the weight of a contract binding us together. But this time? This time was different.The garden where we stood was secluded, hidden away from the noise of the world. White roses lined the aisle, their scent mixing with the crisp autumn air. The Eiffel Tower loomed in the distance, its lights just beginning to flicker against the darkening sky.Aiden stood at the altar, watching me.No guards. No enemies. No ulterior motives.Just him. Just me. Just us.My dress was simpler than the first one I had worn. No heavy jewels, no extravagant embellishments—just clean, elegant lines that moved with me as I walked. But Aiden? Aiden still wore black, sharp and commanding, his presence impossible to ignore.As I reached him, he took my hands in his, his grip steady, grounding.“We’ve done this b
A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 196 : A Different Kind Of Proposal
Aiden’s POVI wasn’t used to an empty house.The penthouse was quiet, the kind of silence that made me restless. Artemis had left early, slipping out before dawn, her scent lingering in the sheets beside me. She had a fitting today—something about finalizing designs before her next trip. I hadn’t asked for details, but I knew she was busy.I ran a hand down my face, exhaling.She was everywhere, even when she wasn’t here.The coffee machine was still warm, the cup she’d set aside for me untouched. A plate covered with foil sat on the kitchen counter—breakfast she’d made before she left, knowing I probably wouldn’t eat if she didn’t.In the closet, one of my suits was laid out, ironed, with a note tucked into the sleeve: Wear this one. You look good in navy.She did things like that. Little things. Thoughtful things.For someone who had grown up fighting for every scrap of control, she gave so freely—to me, to the people she cared about.And I—I hadn’t given her nearly enough.I leane
A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 195: A New Beginning
Aiden’s POVFor the first time in my life, there were no contracts. No lies. Just her.But peace was an unfamiliar thing.I still woke up before dawn, instinctively reaching for the gun that wasn’t under my pillow anymore. My body was trained to react before my mind even processed that there was no longer a war to fight. My enemies were either dead, exiled, or too afraid to make a move.Yet, I found myself restless.The empire was still mine. The city still ran on quiet threats and well-placed alliances. But Artemis had planted a dangerous thought in my head—what if I ruled differently? What if I built something that wasn’t always on the verge of burning to the ground?She was asleep beside me, her breathing steady, her body curled toward me like she belonged there. And she did.I ran a hand down my face and exhaled.I couldn’t just sit still. That had never been my nature.So, I got up.---The sun had barely risen when I walked into the warehouse where my men were gathered. Conversa
A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 194 : Moving Forward
Artemis' POVThe battle was over, but the aftermath lingered. Scars—some fresh, some old—marked more than just skin. The weight of the past did not simply lift because the fighting had stopped.I sat on the edge of the bed, watching Aiden pace near the window. His reflection in the glass was sharp, rigid, like a man still expecting a knife in the dark. The empire was his now, but peace was foreign to him. Stillness felt unnatural."You don’t have to stay," he said, his tone measured, unreadable. "You’ve done enough."It wasn’t a command. It wasn’t even a suggestion. It was a defense mechanism. Aiden didn’t push people away forcefully—he gave them an exit and waited for them to take it.I tilted my head, pretending to consider. "And if I don’t want to leave?"His gaze flickered toward me, just for a moment, then away again. "Then you’re a fool."I rolled my eyes, standing. "That makes two of us."I closed the distance between us and pressed my palm against his chest, feeling the steady
A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 193 : Aiden Redemption
Aiden’s POVThe study smelled of aged whiskey, leather, and cigar smoke—just as I remembered it from my childhood. Nothing had changed. The same books lined the shelves, the same decanter of bourbon sat untouched on the desk, and the same man occupied the chair at its head.I stood in front of Don Carlo, the weight of everything that had led to this moment pressing down on my chest. Kane was gone. Hera was locked away where she belonged. The war was over. And yet, the victory tasted bitter. It felt like exhaustion.My father—Don Carlo—sat behind his massive desk, his expression unreadable. The same man who had doubted me. The same man who had once called me weak."You’ve proven yourself," he finally said, voice heavy with reluctant acceptance. "The empire is yours."I didn’t respond immediately. Instead, I studied him. The man who had shaped me, tested me, pushed me to the edge time and time again. And for what? To prove I was worthy of something I never truly wanted?"You thought I’d
A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 192: Back Where She Belonged
Aiden’s POVHera screamed as the guards dragged her away, her shrieks cutting through the air like the wail of a banshee. She kicked and thrashed, her dark hair wild, her emerald-green eyes blazing with madness."You can’t do this to me!" she screeched, her voice raw. "Aiden, you think you’ve won?! You think locking me away will change the truth?! You’ll regret this—I swear it!"I stood motionless, watching as the woman I once knew was forced back into the nightmare she had clawed her way out of. My hands were clenched at my sides, my pulse steady, my face unreadable.The weight pressing against my chest wasn’t fear or anger. It was relief. A slow, settling kind of relief that came when a battle was finally over.There was no regret. No hesitation.She belonged there.The black van’s doors slammed shut, muffling the last of her wails. The driver exchanged a brief nod with the men guarding the facility before stepping into the driver’s seat. With a low, mechanical hum, the vehicle roll
