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

    ARTEMIS POVThe ride home seemed rather short, or maybe it was because I couldn't concentrate. Kane's hand remained on my thigh, sending waves of electricity through my whole body. I shut my eyes tightly when his hand inched higher, drawing in a sharp breath at the same time. ‘Is this the effect of drinking?’ I wondered, trying to distract myself by counting the number of signature cocktails and champagne I had drank. It felt like it was working at first but Kane just had to move his hand again. “Kane,” I gasped, holding his hand to stop him from moving it over my exposed thighs.‘Never ever ever wear such a short dress around Kane ever again,’ I concluded, making a mental note in my head. But Kane didn't stop despite my hold on his wrist. His touch was akin to a magnet, drawing my attention back to the present. His fingers were tracing gentle patterns on my skin and it made my heart skip a beat."Kane," I whispered again, my voice barely audible while I swallowed with extreme di

    ARTEMIS POV“Calm down, I have no intention to hurt you,” Kane assured me, just when we were at the door to my room. ‘I don't know that,’ I screamed in my head.“I know that,” I replied to him, a frozen smile plastered on my face. “I'm actually sorry about what happened today.”That wasn't my fault but I needed to find a way to dismiss him because after what happened earlier that day, there was no way no way I was letting him into my room. “It's nothing but do tell me, who's she?” He asked, leaning against the wall just beside me. “I don't really know anything about her. That was the lady Aidan had been kissing you know when,” I replied, cocking my head a bit to the side.Kane didn't say anything, he seemed to be in thought and I took it as a cue to slip away. “Uhm, it's been a hell of a night, you know? I'm pretty tired now, why don't we continue this discussion in the morning?”“Okay then, have a great night's rest,” he replied mechanically. I didn't wait for him to leave before

    Artemis POV “Fine, I respect whatever decision you make,” Kane said calmly, close to my ears. “ I will give you more time to love me,” he added. I could see the anger written all over Kane's face as he walked away; I was sure he wouldn't want me to notice that, but I did. ‘ I don't mean to hurt your feelings,” I whispered silently to myself as I watched you leave. I went back to my room without the glass of water I came to take downstairs. Rolling from one side of the bed to another, I couldn't get myself to sleep because the thought of what happened between myself and Kane flooded my head. A few hours later, I slept off. The next morning, I woke up to the sound of a bird chipping at my window. “What in the world is this damn bird doing at my window,” sleep still shivering all over my voice and my head banging like it was going to explode. I was feeling so weak and tired like I worked all through the night in my dreams. I summon the strength to pick up my phone on the side ta

    Artemis POV “You look stunning and amazing,” Kane said as he grabbed my waist and moved me closer to himself. “Thank you,” I replied as I stylishly pushed him away. I grabbed my purse and we left for the car. Kane opened the passenger seat door for me to hop in as a gentleman would do. We drove to the party in silence, the tension between us was high. We got to the party a few minutes into driving, and Kane got down from the car and opened the other side of the car for me to get down. As soon as we entered the party, I saw Aiden at the other end of the room. He was sitting gently, sipping from the glass of wine he was holding. “ Care for a glass of wine?”Kane asked me. “Sure I do.” I quickly get myself together so Kane won't notice I am staring at Aiden. Kane got me a glass of wine and also got himself one. “Let's dance,” Kane said silently to my ear, pulling me closer to himself. I looked back at Aiden, who was now looking at me and Kane as we danced. Aiden continues loo

    Artemis POV Before I knew what was going on, Aiden pulled me into a bathroom beside where we were. I wanted to compose and let him know he was not in the position to do what he was doing, but he covered my lips with a deep kiss which, deep down, I wanted so badly. I soon began to kiss him back. I was almost losing it when I remembered how he hurt me even at the party. I tried pushing him away, but his grip was so tight that I couldn't escape. “What in the world do you think you're doing right now?” I asked frowning and looking up at him to get a clearer picture of his face. Aiden didn't say a word, but instead, he wanted more of my lips, and he kissed me more. “Who did you think you are to think you can do anything you like to me whenever you want?” “I'm sorry, Artemis,” Aiden said out of his breath, his eyes looking all over my body like he was ready to devour me at any available chance he got. “ Did you just say you're sorry, Aiden?” I asked angrily with my eyes wide open. “

    Artemis POV I stood there frozen as the sound of the slammed door echoed in my ear. I couldn't believe what happened. I wasn't surprised anyway; that's the great Aiden we all know. I adjusted my dress well, brushed my hair, brought out lipstick from my purse, and applied some on my lips. As I entered the party, I spotted Aiden dancing and flirting with every lady in sight like he was doing it on purpose. “This must be a joke!” I whispered to myself. Done Aiden was giving the ladies the chance, all of them saw it as an opportunity to flirt with him the way they have always wanted. I watched as Aiden spank one of the lady's asses, my eyes narrowed, and I saw him laughing and the woman he spanked grinning from ear to ear. A spark of jealousy rose within me, and my face heated up. “Why are you reacting like this, Artemis?” I asked myself. “I thought you said you were with this guy” I was confused as to the reason why I was having this feeling of jealousy inside me. I shook off t

    Artemis POV “Do you even love Aiden?” Daymon asked a very deep question that I had to ponder for some minutes before answering. I remember the first day I met Aiden. I felt nothing for him, but as time went on, I began to fall for him. He was the first man I would ever love to the heart; with him by my side, it looked like I had the whole wide world to myself. I took a deep breath, my eyes drifted away from Daymon’s. Memories of Aiden and I occupied my mind. I wish we could go back to the old days, the smiles, the tears, the laughter, the passionate time we spent together and all. “Yes, I love him,” I said, my voice barely available. “I do love him with all my heart” “And why do you love Aiden ?” Daymon asked, trying to understand. I hesitated, trying to look for the right word to use; I was short of words. “Aiden was the first person to make me feel like a real woman; he loved me heatedly and gave me the kind of affection everyone would want; he is the best thing every woman w

    Artemis’ PovFirst, Aiden didn’t see me when he stepped into the bathroom thinking he had the privacy he probably wanted from the prying eyes of his friend in the open chamber, and probably mine, but he didn’t know he walked in on me.I was done cleaning the restroom when he entered, and I didn’t bother to disturb him, not until I heard him chant the name Hera twice in the phone with tensed voice, and now, his friend asked if I’m Hera.Who the heck is this Hera of a person that got almighty Aiden so pissed he couldn’t even check well before snarling at the name.“Hera?” I raised my brows, “I am—”“Artemis,” Aiden didn’t let me finish, “my wife to be.”The fella blinked twice. He seemed to realize he’d said the wrong thing at the wrong time, and he should have knocked before badging into someone else’s toilet.“And why are you donning such apparel?” the fella pointed out.Aiden called him Rusev earlier, so, I thought I should call him the same and ask him to let me be. I can’t stand ge

    Aiden’s PovI nearly pushed my finger’s to Rusev’s lips, but I didn’t because Artemis could be watching from the room. He’s not to be blamed anyways. No responsible man can skip such question, and if anyone should, it can never be Rusev.“She’s no more,” I masked the shock that braced my face with a sudden smile.Rusev raised his brows. I thought of blinking my eyes in quick signs but he seemed not ready to yield. Maybe because he must have ready of me in the dark web where I was portrayed as ruthless.Being ruthless might mean I might be so rash I could talk of my past even in the presence of my wife to be—that is if he understood Artemis’ place.“What happened to her?” he asked curiously, “is she dead?”I waited thoughtfully before I answered him. “Maybe, just not sure.”He nodded and turned once more to my mother’s picture. I knew why he’s so obsessed with my mom. She hid him and his siblings away during the dark days of the scandal that tossed his father’s life in the hands of the

    Author’s Pov“You don’t mean it,” the man said with a toothy smile. Kane raised his brows and gestured at the limo down the aisle. Some of his girls were there already, waiting for him. This time, Aiden picked interest in looking though he hadn’t wished to do such earlier. The scene was nothing far from what he had seen and done in the past. It was nothing tempting, so, he felt the fella might as well turn down the offer. “Nice girls you got there, but I’m not up for some pussy,” the man said with a shrug, “I’m out here hunting for something deeper and bigger than a ride with girls and a big guy.” Aiden chuckled. The men who check in often in the Creeks crib will never fall for such fantasies. It’s that common among them. Kane smiled. He seemed to understand just why the fella had to turn down his offer—Aiden was there and no one would like to hurt Aiden to favor Kane. “What if I introduce you to my new business plan and make you part of—”The man slung his ball bag across his

    Author’s PovAiden returned to the hall and met the noise and the fella nestled at his seat with his face riddled with disgust. His eyes met that of Kane who seemed eager to see either him or his masked lady returned.He made to his seat and tugged at Benny’s suit. Benny turned with his eyes red with tears that refused to spill through his eyelids.“You asked me to recite my poems to her,” Benny’s voice met Aiden’s ears in the midst of the laughter. Don Carlos was now seated, but his friends now resorted to one thing; mock and mimic the fella they thought mad and nothing else.“Sorry—” Aiden urged him to leave the seat with his eyes. Benny left the seat and Aiden sat. “You can go grab another seat over there.” Benny followed Aiden’s gesture. It was the tail of the table. Someone had just rose from there, and the person would surely return. That would be a second batch of trouble for Benny.“Okay,” Benny said and walked off from the hall.Artemis on the other hand was done with her m

    Artemis’ PovI could have asked Aiden where he was off to, but I chose to play nice and let him have his way. Besides, wherever he ought to have gone wouldn’t take much time, but I was wary of someone, the woman in mask.It’s been a game since we arrived at the table. It’s been a game from yesterday during the dance. Kane had his eyes on me like I had something of his he wished to reclaim, and the lady had her eyes on Aiden like he owed her, so, I couldn’t help my curiosity as it piqued.I looked up from my plate and saw Kane. First, he was a little too crafty. He’s shoved a word at Aiden at will, though he knew Aiden would say nothing to him. And when their father showed up, he accused Aiden of saying shit about the old man.Thanks for the Don’s personality. Well, that’s by the way. The problem now is Kane still has his eyes on my skin. It felt it sting like a scorpion’s sting. I needed Aiden so bad at this moment, but he wasn’t anywhere to be found.It was then that a broad hand gl

    Aiden’s PovI could tell she wanted to have a word with me, maybe to threaten me of what stunt she would pull up next, but to me, it was a close chance to pin her to the wall and snare into her face.I felt Kane’s eyes follow me as I left, but I was crafty enough to choose the south door, so no one would suspect I had gone to meet with Kane’s masked lady when I had mine.The south door was the one that led to the restroom, but he had a link to the north, a quick link at that. I charged through the link.Maybe finally, I’ll get my hands on that sickly whore. I was sure she was the one that dared dance with me last night in the mad party.Yes, she wasn’t the one I saw when we arrived at the mansion and saw Kane by his car. She might have switched with the second lady, or she was probably hidden in the car by the devil that brought her as one of his demons.Her footsteps echoed through the hall way, not just hers, though. That of the servants who used the same walkway did the same, but i

    Author’s PovThe day broke gracefully with the two lovers cuddled over each other in the massive bed of the chamber. Aiden’s eyes slowly popped open. He took a long breath and yawned with his left hand placed over his lips. Artemis on the other hand clung tightly to his chest, but Aiden slowly freed himself of her arms and rolled out of bed. the curtains in the room were big and thick enough to keep the son out for good and the grandfather clock in the room was at a distant corner.Aiden made to the window and pulled at the curtain but it was heavier than the regular ones he’s had to pull in other places he’d visited so far.He returned to the bedside and picked the remote on the bed drawer.“Good morning, darling.” Artemis greeted sleepily, her voice almost stuck withing her throat. She wriggled over and smiled a week smile at Aiden who answered her greetings with a grin and a nod. “Come back to bed—”Aiden chuckled and pressed the remote. The curtains shrugged to the other end of t

    Aiden’s PovI looked Artemis in the eyes. she was anxious—anxious to leave the hall and have her peace in a secluded room that is void of the sea of eyes settled on us. I could tell she’s most irritated by Kane’s presence, but the big bad thing is we can’t decline my father’s order.I took my hand off her waist, and with a reassuring smile, I took her hand and led her into the center of the hall. The hall formed a circle around us and watched us as we danced. I did my best to guide Artemis’ steps in the dance.She’s not fond of such classic dance as we ought to do, to entertain father and his old friends who wished to have us entertain the hall the way they did in their own days.I didn’t loot for the smile on their faces while we danced, I was focused on Artemis’ face. She seemed not to believe she’s the one in the center of the hall, our bodies stretched out in a dance that looked easy but required energy.“Come on, call in the ladies!” father ordered and the internal exit door popp

    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
