A Mistress For Aiden Creek Chapter 91: The Game Of Power
Author's POV It was almost 4pm, the scheduled time for the meeting with Kane. She was not interested in whatever he had to say but she just wanted to go because she was bored and didn't want to party outside but just needed someone to have some quiet time with and maybe some quickie.She had another shower of the day and put on a simple nice dress, making sure she was smelling nice and looking her best.Hera slipped on her heels, grabbed her clutch, and headed out the door. She arrived at the designated address Kane gave to her and she was amazed to see how gigantic it was. She never thought she was coming to meet such a rich man but just a normal middle-class man.Immediately, she got to the gate, parked her car well, and walked to the security post. “Hello” she called out and a young blonde hair man walked up to her “What do you want ma'am?” He asked.Hera was surprised she still had to go through all the questions. She expected him to have Todd, the people she was going to meet

Author's POV As they enjoyed the meal, they laughed and talked about different things over the meal. Kane was waiting for the time when they would finish the meal, and he would bring up the issue they wanted to talk about.“Hope you're enjoying your meal?” Kane asked Hera who was enjoying the meal judging by the look on her face.“Yes, I'm enjoying it,” Hera replied.Kane smiled, pleased with Hera's appreciation. “I'm glad you like it. My chef is exceptional, she is the best”Hera nodded, savoring a bite. “This spaghetti is divine, it's been a while since I had something like this homemade meal”“you must be enjoying homemade meLs at home, too,” Kane said to her.“Not really, though my maid is trying, but most of the time I'm outside,” Hera replied.“Oh, I see,e,” Kane muttered and deep somestir-friedd spaghetti into his mouth.As they continued eating, Kane's thoughts drifted to the true purpose of their meeting.

Author's POV Hera went through the documents from paper to paper, trying her best not to miss any of the information stated in the paper.After she was done cross-checking, she collected the pen Kane was handing out to her and signed the agreement contract.“Here we go.” Hera handed the documents over to Kane, and he gave her a copy of the document.“So we have a deal now?” Kane asked, smiling confidently, with a feeling of achievement.“Yep,” Hera replied, smiling back at Kane, wishing and hoping she hadn't made a huge mistake, taking sides with Kane. “So what's the plan now?”“I have a plan but I want you to take things slow with him so he won't suspect any foul play here.Hera nodded, “It's all right, just give me a call or text me when we are ready to start with the plan.”“Sure,” Kane said happily. “Do you mind us making a toast and celebrating?”“I don't mind at all” Hera replied.Kane went to bring another bottle of wine from the shelf and two glasses for them to drink the win

Author's POV “Yes, Hera, I need your backup,” Kane replied her.Hera started ruminating; what could make a rich guy like him need her help or backup when he has a lot of able-bodied men around him to run errands or whatever for him?“Can you make me understand?” Hera asked after a minute of trying to figure out what it was that he needed help with but she couldn't comprehend.“Good question,” Kane said and sat down beside her, looking into her eyes. “Now I'm going to tell you my plans. On a norm, I'm not supposed to tell you about this because I don't know the kind of person you are but for the benefit of the doubt I will tell you, and hope you join hands with me”Hera, who still doesn't understand what Kaneiss is trying to tell her, feels so curious that she has to ask questions. “I thought powerful and rich people believe disclosing their plans will only make their plans fail and we are not that close, we only met a few days ago, and I'm still curious why you want to tell me your p

Author's povAiden had been waiting for Hera's response for weeks, which was looking like a thousand and one years in his sight. The painful part of all was that she wasn't saying anything; he didn't know if she was ready to let go or if she still had something in mind.Aiden was willing to give her anything if she was ready to accept his offer. He has tried so many times to schedule a meeting with her by sending text messages to her and even calling her, but she wasn't responding to him.“She might have found a better offer,” Aiden thought to himself, not knowing the better offer was the one destruction.Aiden was still finding it difficult to look for a solution.Aiden's eyes wandered around his office, his mind consumed by thoughts of Hera and the elusive Artemis. He had been searching for a way to find Artemis and Daymon for months, but every lead seemed to end in a dead end. He had tried all he could do to find them but all was to no avail.He even went to the extent of more men

Kane's pov I was in the relaxation spot in my mansion, thinking of ways to make my plans work out when the buzzing sound of my phone diverted my attention from the beautiful flowers I was watching. Kane picked up his phone and it was one of his men calling. “Yes?”“We gave good news, boss,” he answered, sounding so excited over the phone like he won a lottery ticket.“What good news?” I asked him, wondering what it might be that he had to say. The only good news he was expecting was them finding Artemis, not any other thing.“I and the boys worked harder like you asked us to, and now we have found the location of the lady you described to us and the guy.I stood up from where I was sitting. Is this a dream or what? It must be a dream.“If you think you can joke this important issue away, then you're close to your death because I'm gonna kill you as planned and make your family pay for it,” I warned him so he wouldn't think this was the right time to mess with me.“Who am I to joke w

Author's POV.Not like Kane's men worked hard to find Artemis and Daymon, they just happened to be lucky to find them when one of them was wandering around the bush, looking for what was not lost. ****Artemis lay helpless on the floor, moving from one side of her stomach to another; it had not been an easy one for her. The month of menstrual cramps was not taken lightly. She tried all she could to keep it away from Daymon but it was too painful for her not to be unnoticed.“How are you feeling now “Daymon, who could not help but watch me, asked me.“Don't worry about me, I will be fine” I replied to him, groaning in the middle of my words.“Are you sure you will be fine?” Daymon asked her again.She was not in the mood to talk to anybody but Raymond kept asking questions upon questions.“I said I will be fine!” Artemis said out loud, trying her best not to sound rude and mean.Daymon distanced himself from Artemis when he knew what was going on, he could read the room.He began to

Author's POV Daymon made sure he put her to sleep before he went to fetch the herbs because he knew she was still going to be in pain even if she woke up.He was still worried even now that he had a solution; there was nothing to eat even if she wanted to take the herbs.Daymon wandered into the forest, using one of his hands to make a path for himself, and he walked through the bush.After a few minutes' walk, he found one of the herbs he was looking for, and in no time, he found the second; he was happy he found them easily without stress.After fetching the herbs for her, on his way back, he heard something silently making some sound in the bush; as he watched to check what it was, a big rabbit ran out of the bush, climbing Daymon's leg as he escaped. Scared, Daymon jumped up, thinking it was something else.“ Damn, this little thing scared the hell out of me,” Daymon said. “I will make sure I use you for this morning's meal.” Daymon made sure he killed the bushmeat and carried it

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

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
