Artemis Vincent's life was pretty much bad before but as if the universe wanted to make things worse her parents died in a car accident, leaving her alone in their house. Not long, she is sent packing by the landlord as she could no longer fend for herself. Artemis started to hustle even for food. She goes to a restaurant one day, sees a gold watch and steals it. Unknown to her the gold watch belongs to one of the most powerful men in California. When Artemis is caught, she is given a choice. Die in jail or be the mistress to this powerful and utterly ruthless man.

Artemis's eyes sparkled with unshed tears as she leaned into Aiden, "Then let's make sure the time is right. Let's build that future, brick by brick, with love and trust."

Aiden held her gaze, his heart overflowing with love. "I couldn't ask for anything more," he whispered, kissing her softly under the starlit sky.

In the weeks that followed, Artemis noticed subtle changes within herself. A newfound sensitivity to smells, a peculiar craving for unusual food combinations, and a persistent wave of morning sickness8. At first, she dismissed them as stress-related symptoms, a consequence of their ongoing battle with Kane.

But as the days turned into weeks, a nagging suspicion began to form in the back of her mind. Could it be possible? Was she pregnant?

Driven by a mixture of hope and trepidation, Artemis decided to take a pregnancy test. She waited anxiously in the bathroom, her heart pounding in her chest, as the minutes ticked by.
