ARTEMIS POV

“Are you gonna stand there all day?” I asked and as usual, Daymon kept quiet. 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.

  • A Mistress For Aiden Creek    Chapter 10: He Likes You

    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

  • A Mistress For Aiden Creek    Chapter 11: I Love You

    ARTEMIS POVWe stared at each other. Me, not moving and Aidan just raised his beer bottle and the glass. His eyes were glazed over and his dark hair was tousled. 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. His droopy green eyes m

  • A Mistress For Aiden Creek    Chapter 12

    ARTEMIS POV The whole ordeal was a sort of a mistake to Aidan—he told me he had just a dim awareness of what happened but he also told me that he liked it, since then we had been doing it at any chance we got, like bunnies in heat.Aidan's attitude towards me improved a lot, he would now kiss me without hesitation. He would make my day with hot steamy sex and would stroke my hair after everything.I never knew Aidan to be an affectionate person but he was, maybe only to me.I stared at the mirror now and grinned when I saw how messed up my fiery hair was. Of course that was Aidan’s handiwork. I was sure his hair was a mess too, even more than mine.The door opened and Esther walked in holding some of my clothes. She smiled when she saw me grinning.“You look like you went to heaven and came back,” She said and I shrugged. “I am just happy,” I said and Esther laughed.“Yeah and we all know why,” she said and I stared at her.“Know what?” I acted innocent and Esther grinned. She sat be

  • A Mistress For Aiden Creek    Chapter 13: They Can Wait

    ARTEMIS POVThe face-off was scary and I didn’t like it. I felt like if I didn’t do something, a full-blown brawl could take place right here.“We should get a drink or something,” I said and Aidan's head snapped to me. “He's not coming,” he said pointing to his brother and Kane shrugged.“You don’t speak for her. She can decide” Kane said and Aidan growled.“She is my girl,” he said and Kane laughed. He pushed back his hair.“Come on, Aidan. I know you two aren’t working out so fine. It’s gonna be a...” “She should probably be carrying my child now,” Aidan interrupted and Kane stopped. His eyes darkened and he turned to me.“Hmm,” He said finally. I could see the disappointment in his eyes, but it didn’t bother me. I liked Kane but I was in love with his brother.“I thought you two weren’t on the best of terms,” he said looking at me directly and I sighed.“We are. We are umm good,” I said, not sure what to say. Kane nodded.Aidan took my arm and led me out of the room,” he looked p

  • A Mistress For Aiden Creek    Chapter 14

    AIDAN POVI had never felt so much about a girl as I did for Artemis. She was just different, she had a tongue like fire. She was smart and brave. She wasn’t even scared of anyone and she was damn stubborn, stubborn as a mule. She didn’t know of courseShe didn’t know how I felt about her.For some reason I couldn’t just tell to her yet, maybe I was still convincing myself, or maybe I was just scared.I stared at her sleeping form and kissed her cheek. She muttered something like “Kiss me on the lips” and I grinned and kissed her softly there. She let out a contented sigh and went back to sleep.I smiled to myself. Being with her these days reminded me of how it was going to be getting married to her, and yes she didn’t know that either. I wanted her, I wanted her to be my wife. I wanted her to bear my children.I walked into the bar grabbed a bottle of beer and poured it into a glass.Daymon nodded his greeting to me and I patted him on the shoulder and poured a drink for him too.

    ARTEMIS POVEsther was a genius. She knew how to certainly make one look so regal. Istare at myself in the mirror and can’t even find Artemis, all I saw was a red-haired woman in a smoldering red dress.There was a party tonight and according to what Daymon told me, it was for the high class and Aidan had wanted me to look in my very best. Not to impress the people but for ‘something special’ as he had put it.I felt like he was planning something massive, like a surprise for me but I couldn’t tell because he didn’t leave any hints.Aidan was waiting for me at the driveway looking handsome in his dark suit and well-tailored trousers. Daymon stood behind him looking good as well. I grinned at Aidan. He smiled slowly.“I am tearing that off you tonight.” He said and I blushed. He took my hand and helped me get into the car.Throughout the ride Aidan kept playing with me, tracing his fingers up my thigh and I had to swag his hand away. He couldn’t seem to be able to stop touching me and

  • A Mistress For Aiden Creek    Chapter 16:

    ARTEMIS POVThe tears streaming down my face hindered me from seeing properly and I didn't stop even when I fell down, when I bruised my thighs and knees, when my heels broke, and even my ankle got sprained. I didn't stop when the security men tried to stop me, rather I fought furiously, slapping and hitting them until they released me. I ran through the pain, numbing everything else around. I didn't know where I was going but I needed to be far away from him. I didn't know how far I had gone from there when the rain started, it was almost like even nature felt angry with what Aidan did to me.The rain poured heavily on me, drenching me like a wounded cat and I sat down with my wounded heart, the scene in which I had met Aidan where he had been kissing another girl. Hot tears that contrasted with the rain against my skin, started flowing down my cheeks, the rain washing it off. The rain soothed my throbbing heart and whimpering slightly, I lay by the side of the road in a curled u

  • A Mistress For Aiden Creek    Chapter 17: Can't Be Pregnant

    ARTEMIS POV I trailed off as I noticed his eyes darkening but for a brief second, one I wouldn't notice if he wasn't sitting so close to me. “What I mean to say is, why exactly are you helping me despite knowing I'm in love with your brother?” I asked, cupping the cup in my hands. For a moment, we just stared at each other. Then, without thinking, Kane's lips brushed against mine. Soft. Gentle. As if seeking permission. ‘Don't do it woman!’ The last shred of willful dignity screamed at me. Of course I knew I shouldn't be doing this, not after Aidan, but my body seemed to have a mind of its own. He pulled back slowly, whispering against my lips, “I told you Artemis. All I want is just your happiness…” “Fuck!” I cursed, holding the cup with one hand while I used the other to press his neck against me. Parting my lips slightly, I kissed him back and soon we were all tongues and teeth. He took the cup from my hand and I heard a small clink of the glassware against the b

I just I grew more suspicious of him.The more days passed by the more suspicious I get, the more eager and curious I get the more scared of what Kane actually is. Everything was just becoming so suspicious . I went outside to get some fresh air since I can't stay for a minute without thinking of these or that.My biggest fear now is if Aiden was right about not doing anything and how cruel Kane can be at times. He warned me, he asked me not to leave. I hope I'm not playing myself, I just want everything to be right and crystal clear between I and Aiden.As I was going outside , I collected some sliced apples and a bottle of wine, and the glass to pour the liquor .

But I can't help but notice how strange kane’s guard got. Any corner of the house are guards looking and starring at me like I was some criminal or something. I could tell that something was really off about them cause they weren't all over me like this. It felt like they were monitoring me or keeping a close eye on me or even spying on me . I got to admit, I always creeps the shit out of me but I decided to stay put and trust Kane just a little for now till something really happens.As much as they all seemed strange,I decided to just keep my head straight.

This made me have hope but I can't help but notice how off it all felt, I tried shaking the feelings away but for some reasons it all still feels weird.We sat together outside getting some fresh air. I was clouded with so many horrible thoughts like what if Artemis has given up on us and also think the other night was a mistake, what if he loves the idea of me leaving his house, what if he was awake while I was trying to leave so desperately, what if he is out there with some slut shitting himself. A lot of questions just kept bothering and I couldn't help myself. I think Kane noticed it, my uneasyness, frequent sigh , he even called my name some couple of times and I didn't hear it . Till he called again. “Artemis”Yes, so sorry Kane , I was…He interrupted, I know you were lost. Talk to me , what's going on in that head. I am always here to help, and I can't help you if I d

  • A Mistress For Aiden Creek    Chapter 160: Passion And Confusion

    Artemis' POVI barely made it past the main hall when a hand gripped my wrist, firm and unyielding. Before I could protest, I was pulled into a dimly lit corridor, the deafening sounds of music and laughter fading behind thick walls. My breath hitched as I was backed against the cool marble, my body locked between it and an all-too-familiar presence.Aiden.His eyes burned with a dangerous mix of frustration and something else—something raw and unfiltered. His chest rose and fell sharply, his fingers still wrapped around my wrist like he was afraid I’d disappear if he let go.“What the hell was that?” His voice was low, rough, barely restrained.I scoffed, yanking my wrist free. “That?” I let out a bitter laugh. “That was me moving on, Aiden. Or what else does it seem like? You should try it sometime.”His jaw clenched, a muscle ticking violently at the side. “You don’t believe that.”I glared at him, willing my heart to slow down, to stop reacting to the nearness of him. “I believe w

    Artemis' pov The moment I stepped into the grand ballroom, the air was thick with wealth, power, and tension. The chandeliers cast a golden glow over the sea of expensive suits and designer dresses, but none of it held my attention. My eyes found him almost instantly, now this grabbed my attention. Aiden. Dressed in black, effortless and untouchable, with a drink in hand and a lazy smirk on his face as some woman leaned into him. Kane’s arm slid around my waist, pulling me closer. "He sees you," he murmured, his lips dangerously close to my ear. I forced a smile. Good. Let him watch. Let him feel what I felt. Let him understand the feeling, he seem not to understand that's why he did it in the first place, and I thought we had a moment. I hope this leaves him chattered and broken just as I am, it's time to pay him back in his own coin, jerk. The Push and Pull Kane played his part well, his hands lingering just a second too long, his voice low and intimate. I laughed at things I ba

  • A Mistress For Aiden Creek    Chapter 158: Line Begin To Blur

    Artemis’ POV Spending time with Kane had become inevitable. He was always there—waiting, watching, offering comfort when I didn’t ask for it. And maybe I needed it. Maybe I needed someone to remind me that I wasn’t a fool for feeling this way. But no matter how much I tried to lean into the safety he provided, something in me refused to let go of the truth. I still loved Aiden . I wanted to believe Aiden. I promised to trust him, to stop letting doubt control me. But the image of that woman draped over him was burned into my mind, and no matter how much I told myself there had to be an explanation, the ache in my chest wouldn’t fade, I try my possible best to wave it aside but it finds it's way back in , worse than how it felt before. Was I a fool for always giving him the benefit of the doubt? Had I been blind to the truth this entire time? The betrayal still burned, but the idea of replacing him with Kane felt... wrong. And it wasn’t just because my heart wasn’t ready—it was bec
