A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 66: Trapped
Kelly's PovI'm so grateful for what Artemis and Daymon did for me but I haven't figured out why they are hiding from those people. “What could be their reason?” I finally saw the light out of the tunnel as I took the last step out of the bush. It has been a horrible experience in the bush; I still can't imagine how they are coping; another day in there, I might pass out.As I got out of the forest, I saw the guys Artemis and Daymon were running from. I paused and took a deep breath, my silent prayer was for them not to approach me, not to talk of them asking me any questions.I looked away from their side and pretended like I didn't see them, it was so unfortunate they saw me before I escaped “damn it!”I tried to quicken my pace, but my legs felt like lead. I could feel their eyes on me, and I knew I had to think fast. I didn't want to put Artemis and Daymon in danger, but I also didn't want to be caught by these men.“Hey, young woman!” one of them called out. “Wait up!” I could

Kelly's Pov One of the men moved closer to me with his 0alm wide open like he was about to lay his hands on me.“No, just let her be. I'm still in a good mood” the boss said. “Answer the question like I want before I lose it”“I didn't see anything aside from those things I mentioned,” I said again.“Where are they?” one of the men growled, his eyes scanning my face. “Tell us where those useless things are hidden, Artemis and Daymon where are they?”“Who is Artemis and Daymon?” I asked,d looking as serious as I could. “I have never met any Artemis and Daymon outside this place, not to talk of the forest where a man can barely survive,” I lied.“Are you sure, you're being serious and not lying to us here?” The man asked with a stern face.He stared at me for a few seconds and shook his head. “You're a liar. I'm so sure you saw those people but you don't want to tell me, but I will ask you one more time. Did you see a lady and a young man in the forest?”I shook my head, trying to th

Author's POV As soon as Daymon showed Kelly the way out, he decided to hang around the forest to know if she was going to betray them or not. He stood there as he watched Kelly converse with the men, hoping she was not going to say anything about them.“Please let me go” Kelly pleaded “I have missed the road with my colleagues and I don't even know if I would ever find my way out of here soon without any help before the goes dark”“ So what you trying to insinuate with all these chit-chat?” One of the men asked Kelly.“I won't mind you helping me out if here if possible” Kelly answered him with a calm voice.“You want us to help you?” The man repeated, “Do you want to die?”Kelly moved back in shock, knowing so well that those people could kill her if she tried any shit with them. “I'm sorry if my words met the wrong side of you but please just let me go, I will find my way out”“It is useless killing anybody right now,” The leader said. “Our main focus here is finding those people

Author's POV “ Did you see what I was talking about?” Michael yelled at James. “We haven't gone Into the forest; a big snake is already appearing to us; what if we enter deep into the forest? What are we going to encounter?”“Spare me that crazy things you're spilling out of your mouth Micheal; you don't want to go into the forest; you just wanna stay out here lazing around when our boss sent us out on a mission, you lazy ass!” John replied Micheal angrily “Oh, so I'm the only lazy ass here?” Micheal smirked. “The same person who wants to go into the forest to confront the wild animals is scared of an ordinary snake,” he laughed out loud, each made John so angry that he went towards him with his clenched fist, ready to throw them on Micheal's face but the voice of the leader stopped him.“Enough of this you idiots, enough!” Their leader shouted at them, and they became calm. “Do you think arguing and ranting like a nuisance would solve the problems we have on the ground? Don't you

Daymon's Pov “To be honest, Artemis, I'm tired of this lifestyle here.” I felt so downcasted and fed up with the whole situation.“I understand how you feel, Daymon; I'm more tired than you could ever imagine. I wish I could just get a superpower that will get me out of here in a twinkle of an eye, but I don't have,” Artemis also complains looking down.“That is more reason why we should do everything within our power to survive” I proposed.“I know, right, but taking an Innocent person's life is not an option, Daymon; we can always look for another means of survival.” Artemis stood on her words.“Yes you're right but we have to look for a way to get out of this place without those men getting us because as it is now, they know we are here but they don't know our exact location so that is why we are still able to survive without getting caught and we have to act fast” Daymon narrated.“Wait, are you telling me they haven't given up on us yet?” Artemis asked in awe. “No, they haven't

Daymon's Pov “Whatever!” She said coldly. “I just can't wait to get out of here; there is nothing for us to eat here again. I miss home, the good food, the good big bed, the bathroom, my wardrobe and all” I just watched her leak, and I began to think of what I missed, too. “Even when I was not rich and was begging from street to street, it wasn't as bad as this. I could still afford a bugger to eat, and even if I didn't have money for a burger that day, I could still see people around me, which gave me hope of survival and a reason to live,” she continued. “But here, the only thing I see around is bushes, big trees, and wild animals. The first human I saw was the one you wanted to kill” “I totally understand what you're talking about, but I want you to calm down, and I just need you to be strong and have the positive belief that we are going to get out of here soon,” I said to her. Artemis nodded, seeming to consider my words. “I hope you're right about getting out of here j

Daymon's Pov I watched her sleep peacefully, just like a child who had no problem she was facing. I wish I could help her; it looks like she is going through a lot emotionally, and she needs help.I carried her and placed her well to sleep well as I watched her sleep peacefully. As I gazed at Artemis's serene face, I felt a sense of concern and compassion. She had been through so much, and it was clear that the emotional weight of our situation was bearing down on her even to the extent she thought Aiden did not love her or think of her again.I gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, making sure not to disturb her peaceful slumber. As I watched her sleep, I couldn't help but think about our conversation earlier, her loud laughter and all. It had been a while since I saw her laugh out loud like the way she did today.She had been so worried about Aiden all these while, but she had kept it to herself, which I Know because most of the time she mistakenly mentioned Aiden instea

Artemis POV After explaining my dream to Daymon, I felt relieved and my burden felt light. His reassuring and calming words made me feel better. I watch him sit down with his head in his hands, thinking so hard, I know he was thinking of how we would escape and where we are going from there. I hate myself for making him think so hard and for putting me on a hot seat. I was still trying to figure out what to do to help, too, not until he got up and walked up to me. “Let's pack the rest of our things now, I have got an idea” “What is on your mind and what did you figure out?” I asked him, looking at him, feeling so pathetic and gentle. “I don't have a particular location in mind, but I know we will find a way by the time we wander around the forest; we will get a place to hide,” Daymon replied, still looking confused. We went to pack our things and make sure none of our belongings were left there. I was beginning to get scared; going deep into the forest was giving me go

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
