Chapter 3 : Dinner With The Creeks

ARTEMIS POV

It took me almost a while to find where Aidan was. Daymon didn’t even tell me where to find him. Eventually, I wandered to the gardens and met him there waiting... probably.

“Hi,” I said and he turned. How could someone look so hot and cruel at the same time? The afternoon breeze blew his dark hair, making him look more... handsome.

“So here’s what I wanted to tell you before we meet my parents,” he started, going straight to the point and I shot him a glare.

“Can’t you reply with ‘Hello’?” I retorted and his eyes darkened. I watched the light go out of them replaced by cold dangerous anger.

“Watch how you talk to me,” he sneered. But I didn’t care. I wasn’t scared of anyone or anything, not even the icy chills of his voice.

“And you don’t treat me like a piece of shit too,” I replied sharply. Aidan growled, he grabbed me and shoved me to a barn wall.

“You don’t understand. You have to get this or I’ll lose all I have worked for to my brother,” he seethed and I shrugged nonchalantly.

“I don’t care,” I said and he stared at me. Then his eyes wandered to my lips. Suddenly, I was aware of how pressed he was against me. I could feel every inch of him and I meant every inch. I caught him staring at my lips again and mine parted instinctively but he pushed himself away.

“You have to understand. You are impersonating my old girlfriend, you two look so much alike so I want you to pretend like her as long as you can.” He said and I shook my head, trying hard not to laugh.

“So I have to drop my life and play pretend just to please you and your parents?” I asked and he nodded.

“Yes,” he answered. I shook my head and gave him my most business-like stare.

“What is it in for me?” I asked.

“A million every month and just whatever you want,” he said and my lips curved into a smile.

“I am in, just tell me what to do.”

When we got back to the house and settled down at the dining I had already showered and dressed up. Aidan had sort of given me lessons 101 on how to be like his girlfriend and it wasn’t hard. Funny enough the way he described

her just seemed familiar, like I had met someone like that and had a vague knowledge on how to act like her.

Aidan’s dad's beady eyes watched me carefully like he was calculating something. It felt uncomfortable with him watching me but I steeled my nerves and gave them both a smile.

“Welcome Hera,” he said and I paused. Hera? I once caught my father mentioning the name to someone and he told me that it was the name he wanted to give to his next child just like how he named me Artemis.

I flashed a smile at him and leaned over and kissed his cheek just like Aidan had instructed.

“It’s an honor, Don Carlo. Aidan here has made me very happy beyond words I can’t wait to be part of this family.” I said and Don Carlo smiled. Aidan’s mother was grinning proudly and it felt overwhelming. It has to take all willpower not to run outside.

“Let’s dig in dears or the food will run cold,” Aidan’s mother said and I stared at Aidan, who gave me a fake smile in return. The rest of the dinner seemed awkward to me. Don Carlo asked me questions that Aidan had prepared me for so it was sort of easy to answer.

Don Carlo scraped his chair back folded his arms and glared at Aidan.

“So when are you gonna get married?” He asked and Aidan's green eyes widened. He turned to me. I smiled like a robot and kicked his foot under the table.

“Soon father. We want to, honestly. We just don’t think now is the time” he said and Don Carlo raised a brow.

“What are you waiting for, Amigo? I know you two must have had countless sex and I want grandchildren in my lap before I die. Don’t give me bullshit Aidan,” He said and I blushed.

Countless Sex? That’s not me sir

Aidan's green eyes had gotten colder and I wondered why he hated the idea of being married so much.

“With time father,” he stood and kicked his chair back. “Umm Hera and I have something to talk about,” he grabbed my hand and pulled me up. Don Carlo grinned.

“Talk about giving me grandkids. Go easy on her boy” he said and burst into laughter at his joke. Aidan scowled and dragged me away. I struggled to keep up with his long strides with him pulling me along.

“Hey!” I protested. “You're hurting me “ I cried but he didn’t stop walking. “Aidan!” I yelled and he stopped. His eyes eyes were like thunder.

“Calm down. It’s just a joke, no need to act like a spoilt girl,” I said. Aidan sneered and slammed me into a wall.

“Don’t call me that,” he growled and my eyes widened. He looked menacing and as if he wanted so badly to kill me.

“Fine fine. I am sorry,” he said and the hands pressed against my waist loosened. He turned away and fished into his pocket, probably for his cigar.

He brought it out and sighed when he couldn’t find a cigar in his pocket. I handed him the tiger-designed lighter I stole from his room earlier and he stared at him. I shrugged.

“What? It looked nice” I insisted and he shook his head and lit the cigar. “Thief,” he said and I smiled.

“Jerk!” I shot back. He lifted his head and smiled—-like a wolf.

    ARTEMIS POVThe rest of the weeks were just a blur of activities. Me, trying to keep up with the lies and Aidan being grumpy as ever. We even had to pretend for the camera. It wasn’t what I bargained for and being in front of stubborn paparazzi was beginning to tell on me. Every click of the camera gave me paranoia.Aidan had told me not to worry that it would still stop but I was getting wary. I was a small-town girl and wasn’t used to all this glamor and paparazzi. It wasn’t funny at all. The other part of this deal that made me uncomfortable was having to sleep on the same bed with Aidan. It wasn’t so before, I had my room but his father had insisted on it.I peeled my eyes open now watching Aidan sleeping. Even with my resentment I couldn’t help but admire how perfect he looked. In his sleep, I couldn’t find the cynical circles around his eyes. He looked young and at peace, and his hair. I had always wondered how they were so black, like midnight. They cascaded his face and I rea

I was seated beside Aidan. Daymon stood behind us, I could tell he had a gun because the face-off going right here was scary and I didn’t even have a clue why Aidan brought me.“Mr Creek. I have come up with a proposal. One I hope you like,” he said and Aidan cocked his head to the side, making his dark hair fall and giving him those Greek rogue looks.“I don’t always like your proposals, Hernandez. Let’s see what’s on the plate,” He said and Hernandez's gaze rested on me.“Is that your wife?” He asked. Aidan didn’t look one bit bothered. He lounged in his chair and shrugged. “Not yet. We fuck a lot. Quite a lot, she should be pregnant by now. Don Carlo needs a grand heir,” he said and I blushed furiously. How was he able to say that without choking? Now that he mentioned it, silly images filled my head and

It was like I had been wanting it. But I hadn’t been wanting this, had I? I couldn’t recall. What changed?I had wrapped my legs around his waist and he had slammed me into a wall and I could feel his erection throbbing between my legs but he had stopped and asked if we could go.I was embarrassed after that but I didn’t regret kissing him. I wanted to kiss him again. His lips were intoxicating, I could still taste the cigar on them.I ran a hand down my leg as I stared at the mirror and imagined it was Aidan running a hand on my thigh.“Miss?” Someone said and I jumped. I covered my legs and turned. It was Daymon. “I was knocking and you didn’t responsibly I

His green eyes were not as dark as Aidan’s but somewhat rougher.“Artemis, I like that. What goddess is she of again?” He asked and I stopped. Aidan had known that but he didn’t... maybe I should stop comparing the two brothers in my head.I smiled at him instead.“She’s the good of the moon, hunt, and wild animals,” I explained and his eyes lit up. “Yeah. I remembered that well. You know I never paid attention to Greek myth class,” he said and I chuckled. There was something off about him but I liked him anyway. He wasn’t as cynical as Aidan and knew when to crack a joke.Stop comparing Artemis.“So Artemis, why are you here?” He asked and I shrugged.“I came with your brother, Aidan I mean,” she said and Kane smiled.“Ohh I see...” he paused. “Do you like him?” he asked, catching me off guard. “I...I...I don’t”“Well I don’t,

He brought a lady and throughout the night, I heard her moans and screams.Aidan didn’t even talk to me, take me anywhere, or ask if anything was up. He just walked past and minded his business.I was trying to act cool but it was hard—when the person you had fallen in love with was avoiding you like trash. His father had been happier, I was sure he didn’t notice his son wasn’t sleeping in the same room with his supposed wife.Aidan came out of the room immediately I stepped into the hall. Our eyes met and his hardened. I sighed. I wanted to apologize but my stubbornness won’t let me. Why should I even apologize?Aidan started to walk past and I did a cheery smile. “Good morning,” I said and he breezed past without a word. I turned to stare as he walked; he didn't even turn back once. He acted like I didn’t exist. I continued down

Sometimes I wondered if he was mute, if he hadn’t spoken the first time we met I would have said he was dumb.I gave him a scalding look, but he didn’t even blink. He just kept those ice-cold blue eyes on me and it gave me chills.“Stop staring at me!” I yelled in frustration and he blinked but kept staring. I sighed and got up from the bed to stare down the window.“What did you guys do...” I turned and smacked into a rock-hard chest. I looked up to see Daymon standing close.“Why are you behind me?” I asked and Daymon closed the window shut. He grabbed me roughly and flung me on the bed.I stared at him in anger and sat up, did he think I was going to jump out the window? I wasn’t that stupid and I didn’t want to die. “What’s wrong with you I am not jumping out from a five-story mansion. I am not stupid,” I said.“You are,” came his voice so unexpected and deep that I nearly screamed.“Really?

    ARTEMIS POVThe next few days were the worst. I and Aidan avoided each other, no greetings, no talks, no banter. Daymon on the other hand was unusually soft and didn’t rough handle me. He had even made coffee the morning I fell sick. Aidan for some reason had been there too, but I told him that I didn’t want to see him. Of course, he had ignored me and asked a maid to see me. “Here have this,” the maid said, handing me a tonic and I peered at the liquid in the bottle.“I don’t want this, Esther,” I said and Esther shook her head. I didn’t blame her, I was as stubborn as a mule.“It’s for your health ma’am,” she said and I made a face.“It’s bitter,” I said and Esther laughed. She caught herself and made a sheepish face.“Sorry,” she apologized and I smiled.“That’s okay,” I said and drank the tonic and retched. I hated medicines, and I always hoped to avoid getting sick. The door opened and Aidan walked in, with one single glance Esther scurried out of the room.“You didn’t have to s

Like someone has laced their fingers through and pulled.“Care for a drink?” he asked again and I stared at him. “I don’t drink alcohol so, No,” I said and he growled.“Take the damn drink,” he said stubbornly clenching his jaw and I shook my head.“I said no. I...”“Please,” He said and I stopped. He didn’t tell me please, ever“Drink with me,” he said slowly and I nodded and took the beer from him. Immediately I took it, I shoved it under a couch.“Hey,” he went to check but I pulled him back.“Hey, look at me. You are drunk, and I wish I could take pictures but it seems that is the least of my worries,” I said. His green eyes drooped but his stare was as sharp as a wolf.“I am not drunk,” he said tiredly and I shook my head. “That’s what every drunk man says,” I insisted but he pulled his arm back.

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

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

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

    Author’s PovDon Carlos Creek, Aiden’s father had settled in the open space of the estate with his men, a bag of clubs and balls for a quick golf game with his boys when Aiden and Artemis arrived.They stopped and watched him knock a ball into a freshly dug hole with his club, and joined his men to celebrate his pretty score. “Aiden—” he called out after the celebration and hugged him as they met in close range. “Did you see me do it like a pro?” Aiden laughed. 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.
