A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 18: Jealous Aidan
AIDAN POV“What do you mean you can't find her?” I boomed from across the wine cabinet where I stood, pouring out the wine in a glass cup. “Boss, I...” Daymon began but I cut him off immediately. “It's a heavy downpour out there,” I raged, my hold on the glassware hardening ever so slightly. “We searched everywhere for her. 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

ARTEMIS POV“That was Aidan,” I murmured, staring at Kane who had now disconnected the call. “You called him?” I asked again, tethering at the edge of the couch where Kane sat. ‘Why the hell, are you so affected by him so much?’ I questioned myself angrily but it did nothing to ease the throb I felt when I heard his voice. “It was a business call,” was all Kane said, while watching me intently. “H-he didn't look for me?” I managed to choke out. 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

ARTEMIS POV“Hey darling, how are you doing?” Kane asked, kissing me from across the counter.“I'm great so far,” I said, grabbing a pack of juice from the fridge immediately, circling the table to embrace him in a hug. “I missed you so much,” he said, groaning in my hair, his grip around me tightening. 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

ARTEMIS POVI called out, making my way to the door.As I opened it, I was surprised to see Kane standing there, looking handsome in his tailored suit, a hint of a smile on his face."Hey, beautiful. 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

ARTEMIS POV“I-I don't get,” I managed to choke out, half expecting he wouldn't repeat what I thought he meant by that statement. And he didn't. 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

ARTEMIS POVAidan was a tiny bit scary in the beginning but he never gave me this discomforting stalking feeling… ever.My heart raced as he took another step closer."This isn't right," I whispered, backing away even though there was barely any space to go to.Kane's gaze left my face, drifting to the towel pressed against my body and he let out a small sound. "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. "Stop what?" he asked, flashing me a bemused expression, his eyebrows were raised in feigned i

ARTEMIS POV“You don't know me?” she asked, her voice dropping seductively.Scrunching up my face impatiently, I snapped at her in response. “Was I meant to know you, maybe by reason of psychic abilities or something?”"Ha! 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. But I'll give you a hint: Aidan and I... we have something

ARTEMIS POV“What the F...” I trailed off when it seemed like she was coming towards us.“What's the problem?” Kane asked, staring at me for a while then tracing my line of sight to the lady in particular. “Who is she?” He fired again in rapid succession, furrowing his brows a bit. "Who is she?" Kae asked once more when I didn't reply to him the first time, staring at the redhead.‘What do you want me to say, young man?’ I screamed in my head, throwing towards himRather than my initial tendency to be sarcastic, I shook my head slowly, my eyes fixed on her while I replied to Kane. "No idea."We both watched as the redhead sauntered up to us, a sly smile spreading across her face."Well, well, well," she said, her voice dripping with a distinct level of sass and amusement. "Look who's together now."Kane's expression remained neutral while I fought to school mine to mirror his expression but it was incredibly hard. ‘Despite my will to forget him and move on, seeing as he never love

Aidan POVThe next few days after Kane's threat began to unroll in a whirlpool of events -- within each minute the quiet strain between Artemis and I. We had decided on attending the charity gala, together, for the display of unity and defiance against the haunting shadows of Hera and Kane. I stood in front of the mirror, while adjusting my tie, pondering upon what I may have done, or not done of late, to have the weight of expectation hanging upon me. The gala would be where the most influential people would congregate. If ever there was a time for Hera to strike, it would be here."Are you ready?" Artemis called from the other room. She sounded almost haughty with a mixture of excitement and nerves. "Almost," I replied, forcing a smile. I had to be his strength. It was his entry into, a very new and dangerous world-and I had to make sure that it felt like a support.I was silent for a moment when she came out. She was wearing this lacey red gown that molded her body all the right

Artemis POVThe hallway, awash in chaos, found a frozen representation of me. Uncertainty had reduced the strength of my insides. Even as the adrenaline rush of Aidan's protection fueled my very being, my very fear of what would follow stopped my feet in their tracks. There were louder voices now: anger and indignation intermingled. I found myself rushing Aidan, heart pounding away. As I took the turn, he stood toe to-toe with various men, their faces illustrating how morally intense and confrontational the situation was. "Get lost," Aidan growled, barely above a whisper. "Aidan, you can’t just turn your back on this," replied one of the men, sharp-edged. He was the tallest, wearing a dark suit that announced authority. "Hera has powerful connections, and you have to be careful." "Careful?" Aidan scoffed, his temper flaring. "You think I’m afraid of some empty threats? I’ll handle this my way." I edged closer and heard snippets of their dialogue, which made my spine crawl at the

A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 156: The Revelation
Artemis POVThe night air was cool under my feet as I stepped outside the garden, and everything was cast under a silvery glow by the moon. I could not shake the unnerving feeling pressing at my heart since dinner. Aidan's father and his expectations were hovering like a dark cloud above us, and I felt like a puppet in their great play. There was some magnetism in Aidan that drew me toward him, something I could not quite put a finger on. I found Aidan leaning back against a marble pillar, the phone still clutching in his hand. The air was thick with tension as my heart fluttered at the thought of going up to him. Did he feel it too? "Aidan?" I softly called, stepping closer. His head rose, and those piercing green eyes locked with mine. For a moment, everything ceased to exist outside this sphere that encapsulated both of us in limbo and yearning."Artemis," he said, his voice low and sultry, making me shiver. "What are you doing out here?""I needed some air," I swallowed, hoping
A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 155: Shadows
Aidan POVThe night hung heavily as we drove back to my family's estate, enshrouded in tension. The showdown with Kane had jolted us, and I could feel the pall of uncertainty over Artemis. I glanced at her: her jaw was set in a determined line, though fear, I knew, lurked beneath the surface. "You okay?" I asked after I parked the car, breaking the silence. "Just trying to process everything," she answered, her voice steady, but her eyes were full of worry. "What do you think Kane meant? That we were in over our heads?""Don't know," I said, raking my fingers through my hair. "But we cannot allow him to scare us. We are stronger together, and we need to focus on Hera."As we stepped inside, it was like suffocation; the grand foyer resounded with the silence of empty echoes. I felt my father's wishes bearing down on me as his wildest expectations presented themselves. I had gone against him, and I was wise enough to know that my father would not bear it lightly.''Let's go talk to hi

Artemis POVI felt each whisper of conversation thrum through the room. Every eye seemed to be trained on me in anticipation of what would unfold next. I noticed that Aidan's jaw clenched, trying to gain control over his anxiety. Hera walked further forward into the party and her smile lit up the room like a bolt of electric tension.“Aidan, darling,” Hera said sweetly, slicing every air with her voice. “I didn’t expect to find you with someone who looks so… so… different from me.” Her eyes shot over to me, and as they did, the rush of anger and insecurity combined in me."Aidan, is this the woman you have chosen to be with? I only hope she understands what she is getting into," she continued mockingly.Aidan spoke with a low but firm voice, "Enough, Hera. You have no rights to be here.""Oh but I do," She moved closer. "See, I came here to remind everyone of that little agreement." She pulled out a document from her purse and waved it like a trophy. "This says you owe me, Aidan. And

A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 152 Great Hope
Artemis POVThe next few days rolled into a blur of work calls, meetings, and strategizing: Aidan and I finally reached out to our closest friends, determined to spend anxiety-ridden hours seeking out enough people to build a network of support able to help us resist Hera's power. With every discussion, one more layer of the web unfolded before us, and, with the feeling of growing tension as we neared the time of confrontation, I could feel the strands beginning to coil tighter.One evening we had gathered in my apartment. The air buzzed with anticipation, and Aidan, Emily, and Ryan comprising the rest sat serious in the living room discussing what would be the next move with me."I know it's a risky affair," Aidan said in a very firm tone. "But we've got to confront Hera directly. If we let her decide the narrative, we'll never free ourselves from her dictation."Emily nodded with her brow knitted in thoughts. "But what if she tries to retaliate? She has connections in places that ca

Artemis POVNights like these trail, having turmoil and kept whispers that swung clouds around Aidan and me. Hera's oculus, I could feel her weight, and every time I spotted her, a shiver disturbed my bones."Are you alright?" Aidan asked, coming closer and lowering his voice."I am fine," I said while forcing a smile, "just trying to grapple with all of this."With his expression raining, he answered. "I know it's quite some taking in, but remember, we have each other."As the gala went on, I tried focusing on the talks we were having, but my mind would attach itself to the topic of threat on us, as Kane's echoed himself in me. Somehow, it all felt like we were walking on a tightrope, one misstep away from disaster."Let's get some air," Aidan said, finding my hand with his.I nodded, relieved to get a moment away from the crowd. Together we stepped out onto the balcony where the coolness of the night air felt revitalizing against my skin. The sounds coming from the gala disappeared
