Aiden's POV I sat on my swivel chair and placed my head on the fancy glass table that had different awards that carried my name, but I'm screwed. I began to Think of suicide, but was suicide ever the option? What would happen to Daymon and Artemis if I'm gone? I have to stay strong for them but I don't have the strength to stay Strong.Different thoughts came to my mind but I don't know which one to go with.I was still lost in my thoughts when my phone line began to buzz. Different calls were coming in from my two phones, but I had no intention of answering any because I knew I had caused a whole lot of trouble.My phone kept ringing and different messages kept coming in. Tears dropped from my eyes. If I can remember well, the last time I cried was when I was nine because right from when I was small, l was known to be cold-hearted because of how I was trained. I couldn't believe I let my emotions get the best of me.I have to be strong for the sake of my friend and wife. I don't kn

Aiden's POV I took off my suit jacket and untied my tie because I was feeling so uneasy in it. 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?”

Aiden's POV I was not feeling the vibes of the movie I was watching so I grabbed a bottle of another alcoholic drink and went upstairs to my room.I went into the bathroom and unleashed the cold shower, allowing it to penetrate my banging head.I stayed in the shower for what looked like almost an hour. 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

Kane's pov I stood in the middle of my living room feeling so good. I can't believe things are or d. I steered at my phone again and continued swiping up as I read the hate comments about Aiden.It serves him right. This time around, he is not going to take what belongs to me but it will be vice versa, take what belongs to him…I let out a wicked smile from the side of my mouth.I can't believe the state he would be in if he was going to die for me to get what I wanted; I don't mind taking his life, but making him miserable is enough.I checked the internet over and saw the way the people of the country are ruining and rubbishing Aiden's name. He was their favourite and role model but now he is nothing but a piece of trash.I need to figure out other ways to deal with him. I'm still not feeling satisfied. I wish I could just jay my hands on Artemis and Daymon, Artemis to be Precise.“Hey you” I called one of my men. “What'd the latest update on those men I sent on a mission?” I ask

Artemis POVThe boredom was getting too much. We have not gotten used to the new environment that we are in, and there is nothing to do and no food to eat.The only advantage of the place was the river beside us. Most of the time we go hungry throughout the day.Daymon already went out to get some food to eat, I just pray he gets back safely. He had to go deep into the forest for hunting; he was trying his best for us to survive. I have been indoors all day so I decided to go get some fresh air beside the river while I wait for Daymon to arrive from the hunting he went for.I sat down with my legs folded beside the river and I watched the river flow from one end to the other. The view was so beautiful. The coldness of the water made me feel so calm and at peace.I waited patiently for Daymon's arriver but it was not looking like he was going to arrive anytime soon. I'm beginning to get worried. I'm scared, he is supposed to have arrived, but he hasn't. I kept stretching my neck to c

Artemis POV After applying the herbs, I placed his head in my lap; all hopes were lost. I don't know what to do again.I have cried and I could no longer cry again. 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. My heart skipped a beat. “Daymon! Oh, thank God!” I exclaimed, tears of joy welling up.I thought he was going to die; I had already given up on him; I was just waiting for him to give up the ghost, and I would go look for a way to get caught by Kane's Men, but he made it through.Wit

Aiden's POV I finally resumed office after a few days of taking a break from work. My assistant finally found a way to break the scandal up with the help of the media team.I entered the company with my bag and my face full of embarrassment. I looked around as I entered, checking if people were watching me as I entered or even gossiping about me. As expected, they were doing both, which made me more embarrassed.I tried my best to ignore them and focus on where I was going. The secretary I sacked was supposed to resume work back today after apologizing publicly and privately for all I've done to her and I also promised her some increase in her salary and bonuses, that alone made her come back to work even after a lot of people were saying she shouldn't come back to work for me but the offer was far better than the one she was getting outside. I settled down in my office and she brought in my early morning coffee as she always does. I sipped the coffee as I went through the files and

Author's POV “I Know you're angry at me, Aiden,” Gera said to Aiden, who was watching her talk like a mad woman. “ I have realized that I'm so stupid and foolish to dump you back then”“I don't care if you're stupid or foolish or crazy or not, just get out of my office; I don't care whatever you think you're,” Aiden blasted Hera, not interested in listening to her bullshit. “Just get out of my office and I don't want to see you again”“No, I'm not going anywhere, Aiden.” She sat down and crossed her legs comfortably.“Are you out of your mind? who even gave you the right to my office?” Aiden asked, knowing fully well that he was the one who asked his secretary to let her in, though he didn't know she was the one.Hera didn't move an inch from where she was sitting. Instead, she adjusted well and made sure she was more comfortable.“It's high time I called security; that's what suits you since you don't want to respect yourself,” Auden threatened and picked up his phone to put a call

A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 159: The Stom
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
