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

    Artemis POV “ You have got this, Artemis,” Daymon tried to motivate me when he realized I was tired and about to give up. “I don't want you to stop at almost, we are almost there”“ I'm going to pass out if I take any more steps,” I replied to Daymon, almost losing my breath.“I know how tired you are; I can see you're trying your best as the strong woman that you are, but please don't give up yet because strong people don't give up easily,” Daymon's words penetrated my heart, and it felt like an energy booster to me.I stood up to move with the little strength that was remaining in me. Daymon collected the bag I was holding and added it to his own; we then continued the journey slowly, hoping to get there soon. After walking a few minutes more, I saw the river from afar, and I jumped for joy. Daymon did notice it because of the load he was carrying.“Daymon!!!, I can see the river from here!” “ Really!” Daymon said and dropped the bag he was holding and looked around for it.I poi

I'm going crazy, I'm confused. All my efforts are beginning to go in vain without any results to show forth.“I will talk to you later Father,” I said to him over the phone and was about to end the call when he said “If you end the call, you're done because I will not take things lightly with you.” The anger in his voice was so obvious that even a random person could tell he was angry. “For the past few weeks now, you have kept beh

I switched off one of my phones and put the other one in silent mode, placed my head on the table, and began to sob; in no time, I slept off.I was still snoring in my sleep when the door opened; it was my assistant.“Boss!, Sir!” He called out loud and I woke up feeling so tired and weak . “why are you still here, boss? I thought you left immediately. We found a way to send the pressmen away.“ No, I didn't,” I replied grumblingly.“I was working late with the media to see if we can take down the videos not until I saw your car downstairs when I was about to leave the office premises”. He said. “Are you sure everything is okay with you sir?”“Yeah, I'm okay. I never knew it was already late. I just decided to take a few minute's nap, and here we are,” I replied, stretching out.“Can we go now?” He asked.“Are you sure none of the pressmen are outside waiting for me or trying to spy on me?”

After I was done, I grabbed my towel and threw it around my waist as I walked back to my room. I was about to go pick some clothes to wear In my closet when I remembered the weight of what I had done. The cold shower made it look like everything was okay.I sat down on the floor beside my bed and took the bottle of alcoholic wine that I brought with me. I opened it and began to gulp, thinking it was going to make me feel better, but I wasn't feeling any better, so I continued.In a few minutes, I began to feel tipsy after drinking almost all the contents of the bottle. I tilted my head to the back and made sure I was resting it on the edge of the bed, lost in my thoughts when I heard

I just watch him breathe heavily with his eyes closed.I was a little bit relieved that the bleeding had reduced; all I just did was watch him and pray to God to keep him alive for me.As I sat there, gently stroking Daymon's hair, I felt a mix of emotions: desperation, fear, and helplessness. His usually strong and resilient body now lay fragile and still. I whispered prayers, pleading for his recovery.Suddenly, Daymon's eyes flickered open, and he gazed up at me with a faint smile. “Artemis…” he whispered, I could barely hear his voice.

    Artemis’ povAiden, my man, is not the type that would drift to sleep in a matter of seconds, but with me in his warm cuddle, he snored like he’d never done before.I might be wrong anyways if I count it as success—the endless stress of being a core member of the Creeks is enough stress already, but I praise my patience for enduring till I heard him snore.I started with his heavy hands, he’d secured me with them, maybe to keep me from breaking into the night to search for clues of the name, Hera.I lifted his hand gently and slipped off, but I didn’t let it rest on an empty space. I replaced my warmth presence with a pillow and watched him for a while as he slept like a baby.I was tempted to touch his hair—to trace the lining of his nose bridge with the tip of my finger and press a kiss on his cheek before leaving him for my little adventure, but shunned the thought instead and made my way out of the room.First, I sought out his things. He didn’t check in with much—just his suitcas

    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
