ARTEMIS POV

The tears streaming down my face hindered me from seeing properly and I didn't stop even when I fell down, when I bruised my thighs and knees, when my heels broke, and even my ankle got sprained.

I didn't stop when the security men tried to stop me, rather I fought furiously, slapping and hitting them until they released me.

I ran through the pain, numbing everything else around. I didn't know where I was going but I needed to be far away from him.

I didn't know how far I had gone from there when the rain started, it was almost like even nature felt angry with what Aidan did to me.

The rain poured heavily on me, drenching me like a wounded cat and I sat down with my wounded heart, the scene in which I had met Aidan where he had been kissing another girl.

Hot tears that contrasted with the rain against my skin, started flowing down my cheeks, the rain washing it off. The rain soothed my throbbing heart and whimpering slightly, I lay by the side of the road in a curled u

    ARTEMIS POV I trailed off as I noticed his eyes darkening but for a brief second, one I wouldn't notice if he wasn't sitting so close to me. “What I mean to say is, why exactly are you helping me despite knowing I'm in love with your brother?” I asked, cupping the cup in my hands. For a moment, we just stared at each other. Then, without thinking, Kane's lips brushed against mine. Soft. Gentle. As if seeking permission. ‘Don't do it woman!’ The last shred of willful dignity screamed at me. Of course I knew I shouldn't be doing this, not after Aidan, but my body seemed to have a mind of its own. He pulled back slowly, whispering against my lips, “I told you Artemis. All I want is just your happiness…” “Fuck!” I cursed, holding the cup with one hand while I used the other to press his neck against me. Parting my lips slightly, I kissed him back and soon we were all tongues and teeth. He took the cup from my hand and I heard a small clink of the glassware against the b

I have my men currently searching possible places she must have gone,” Daymon said.“That is not enough!” I yelled. “You were supposed to be guarding, why did you let her come look for me? I put you in charge of her because I trust you.”“I will have the rest of the men extend the search and I'll also check the CCTV footage on all roads that lead away from the building,” Daymon assured me but I was in no mood for that. “I don't care what you do Daymon,” I began, slamming the glass cup as well as the wine bottle down on the counter. “Just make sure Artemis is in this house in the next twenty four hours.”Daymon didn't say anything else, rather he turned on his h

The truth suddenly pressed down on me and I realized it's been two days since I had been staying with Kane.“He definitely didn't find you,” Kane said with a small chuckle as he reached out to hold me. ‘Ouch, that had to hurt,’ I thought, wincing slightly as I adjusted closer to Kane who reached out to wrap his hands around me.“D-do you think he cares about me?” I suddenly asked, unable to help it. Kane didn't say anything, rather he peppered kisses down my neck but I wasn't into whatever he was doing. Thoughts of Aidan had consumed my m

I giggled at his words. “It has been barely 20 minutes since you left to go take a run,” I said, pushing his chest back slightly as he had begun to pepper kisses down my neck. “It's still too long,” he said, his breath already ticking me already. “Oh stop it, you're tickling me,” I said, playfully fighting to get out of his grip. “One more kiss,” he protested, his grip on my waist still tight, just not too tight to be uncomfortable. “One more kiss to take me through…”I didn't let him finish before I pressed a kiss to his lips. One too quick that it could be called a peck on the lips. “Done, now let me go,” I said, digging my fingers in between the arms and my waist to pull his a

What have you been up to?" he said, walking in and then tugging me by the waist from behind, not even letting me close the door.“The door...” I began, trying to reach it.“I'll get it,” he replied, using his feet to push the door a bit too forcefully and it went shut. "You are actually home early," was all I could say before I was cut short and my lips were smothered and bitten by Kane. All my protest were swallowed up in the kiss, leaving space for just me mumbling… “Goodness wait a sec. I'm running out of breath.”Finally, he let me go and I gasped for air, chasing it to the point of half doubling and holding my chest. “Seriously!?” I half exclaimed and half questioned. “You came back way too early, what happened?”Kane raised an eyebrow, a sly grin climbing his face and coating his

Thank goodness. “Come on,” He caught one of my hands and pulled me towards the door. “Go change and let's go grab something to eat. I'm really hungry.”Not bothering to make an argument or insist on knowing what he meant, I robotically allowed myself to get pushed until I was indoors and in front of the staircase.“If you keep standing there, I'll have no other choice than to take you to my room, undress you personally and then wash you clean…”I didn't wait for him to finish before I ran off, shouting behind a response behind me. “Give me 10 minutes to get ready. I'll be quick.”“I'll wait for 10 minutes,” came his reply. The image of him grinning appeared in my head and it took me a great deal to wipe it off. I shouldn't be doing all these. I was still supposed to be Aidan's wife… scratch that. I was supposed to be his contracted soon to

"You're beautiful, Artemis," he whispered, just loud enough that I could hear it even in the quietness of the room. I felt exposed, vulnerable and it was a feeling I detested. It had been so long since I had felt like this. Since my mom and dad…I blinked repeatedly to stop the tears that I knew would come and also erase the thought from my head. ‘Right now wasn't the ideal time.’"Kane, stop," I warned, fury plaguing my expression.But he took another step notwithstanding, his eyes locked on mine as if challenging me to dare him.

You're feisty, I like that," the lady on the other end of the call said with a chuckle. "Let's just say... I know someone who knows you very well."Walking away from the door to the bed, I picked up the red gown I was going to wear and pressed it to my chest before sitting on the bed. I tried to place her voice, but it was unfamiliar."Who is this?" I demanded, frustration creeping into my tone."Someone who's been watching you," she replied, her voice taking an interesting edge.My skin crawled at this point. ‘Just who the F are you?’"From Aidan?" I spat, my anger rising.But instead, the lady burst out in laughter, at the same time sending shivers down my spine."Oh, Artemis, you're so quick to assume.

    Artemis’ PovEverything seized to exist for a moment. Silence stole the noise that had swallowed the room earlier and the hall seemed to melt into oblivion. It seemed it had not been recorded anything time in history that the massive door of the Creeks’ Hall was busted open amidst meeting.At this point, I could see the men with their cups raised were merely startled and expectant of whom it was that had dared to interrupt their meeting with such rascal attitude. But there was nothing to see as the door remained open and without trace of anyone.“Maybe, it’s the wind,” Aiden’s father brought the hall back to life with a mischievous smile on his face. But someone snapped from the distance and cleared his throat.“It’s definitely not the wind, sire,” Benny announced on his feet. We all turned to him, and like he liked the attention he’d dragged to himself, he tugged at his suit and pointed towards the door with a proud smile on his face. “It’s another son of the Creeks.”Everyone turne

Their eyes felt like a crust of sand on my skin. My slowly broke my face into a warm smile and walked up to him. He took my hand, kissed it and hugged me.“My wife is not home and Aiden, your man, has no sisters here, so, permit me to play both the father-in-law’s role and the mother-in-law’s role, too.” He hollered.Everyone laughed, including Aiden. I smiled as his father freed me from the hug and raised his hands above his shoulders with a warm smile on his face.“Aiden has finally made his mind to become the man we all dreamt of—” he said, his eyes on Aiden and on me. “We’ll toast to him!”***The Hall of the Creeks was a large one with massive slabs of marbles which formed the word ‘Creek’ on the wall. It had pillars that looked like they were carved in the eighteenth century and the floor was smoot

Meanwhile, for Artemis, the trip was another silent one, and the only thing that ever felt good was the strong scent of Aiden in the fact that he offered her much warmth when he kept squeezing her hands in his.They arrived at the Creeks’ estate, the dwelling place of Don Carlos, and drove straight to the heart of the estate, but a man in white suit and white groves stopped them and ushered them to the parking lot they wished to avoid.“Who’s that man?” Artemis asked curiously.“Uncle Benny,” Aiden said with a smirk. “No one says no to Benny, unless you want to be stalked till you finally say yes to his ass.”The guards opened the door and they both alighted and walked together to the man in white suit, their retinue of guards assembled behind them while Benny watched without words.“Good morning, Benny,” Aiden

I swallowed them after I picked every drop of his spill on the table but he didn’t stay to see me gulp them.He surely knew I wouldn’t spill his cum into the sink after I picked them with my tongue, but I wanted him to see me swallow every drop of it.I fixed my cloth and returned to the pot on the stove. The chicken soup was ready to be served. The bread in the oven was long done and I had turned off the oven before I went for the soup earlier.I turned off the stove and scooped the soup into a large plate, but just then, Aiden’s voice rippled into the kitchen. He was in an argument with someone in his phone.I shrugged and continued with the scoop till there was nothing left in the pot. I then took the pot to the sink and washed it clean before I made for the bread in the oven.***The dining was set by the hall’s massive window.

I rubbed my eyes and reached out for Artemis, but my hands caught just the pillow. It was then that I realized I had not been awake all night.I shrugged and turned over to meet the empty space with the pillow that had long lost her warmth. I sighed. She must have been such an early bird to have left the bed before me.I crept out of bed and yawned while I looked into the day through the gap between the curtains. The estate was calm, and the garden’s seemed to have new visitors: birds and insects. I just hope hornets are not part of the visitors.I searched my pockets for my phone, and just then, I realized I left it downstairs last night before I carried Artemis to bed. “Good lord,” I sighed and walked out of the room. The house was calm, but the but the aroma of something delicious had filled it to the brim.Artemis was definitely making something delicious in

It took a split of seconds to boot and soon, it displayed the screen with the notifications on the message icon.I tapped into it, but before I could read what was sent, my phone buzzed. The number was an unsaved one but I picked up hoping it was Hera. But it was not Hera. It was Marlon.“Sire—” his voice announced his identity. “Sorry, I had to call with a different number. I broke my phone in action. We were attacked.”My heart skipped a beat. Attacked?Who on earth is so discreet they could read my gestures? The move was meant to be smooth, unnoticed, but I knew it had gone public when my father talked of what he knew I would do. Or, maybe the enemy knew just what I will do, and I foolishly played into his hands.“Did you lose anyone?” I asked.“No, sire.” Said Merlon. “They merely aimed for the back seat. Maybe they thought you were in the convoy.”My brows narrowed at his utterance. Who else wh

It was for Don Carlos and Aiden and her. the guards would figure out themselves though they wished to be part of the meal.“Indeed,” Don Carlos rose to his feet. Aiden joined him and together, they followed Artemis into the building, but Artemis led them out through the backyard door to the backyard garden where she fixed a makeshift dinning and laid out the meal she made.“What the heck is this?” Don Carlos posed.Aiden raised his brows. He could have warned Artemis to be super careful with recipe she would decide to make because his father is not an easy-going fella. He was the type who would take detail of everything and grunt at whatever he detests.“It’s a makeshift—”“Yes, I love it.” Don Carlos did not let Aiden defend Artemis. He took the first seat and gestured at Aiden and Artemis to join him. the two lovers looked each other in the face

Don Carlos really did it like a pro—no doubt. He did it like he’d been doing it right all his life, but the distance was close and the hole was wide compared to the traditional holes for the golf game. But Aiden knew not to speak of the error.The man who dug the hole must have done it to suit Don Carlos.“I saw you do it like you do it for a living,” Aiden laughed, sure his father must have figured out the reason for his laughter. Don Carlos patted his back and broke the hug. “I sure do this shit for a living. Don’t you kno

He closed in on me with narrowed eyes and ran his finger on my cheek. “You will go on blindfold.”I said nothing. “Good,” he nodded. My silence was a yes to his proposal. He fished a black pick of cloth from his pocket, and with a gentle nod, he ordered me to turn. I turned and shut my eyes, while he slowly blindfolded me with the cloth. “Can you see?” he asked.“No,” I answered.“Good,” he uttered and held me by the hands. “You have to trust me, Artemis.”I nodded. I trust him. I believe he knew I did. Especially now I needed to trust him more than I’ve ever done in all the time we’ve known each other. With his hand slung across my chest, he led me through in utter silence. The walk was slow and steady, and we did make stops that was followed by the creaking of doors he pushed open to secure a free pass for the both of us.“Here we go,” he said after a while.
