Book 2- Chapter 24
A more day had passed; she kept checking her phone again and again because she had almost irritated Colton from her call to know about his final report on Artemis that he was about to give her in two to three days. She needed it as soon as possible.
“AArrrgghh, Colton!! Switch on your phone.” She cursed her phone and then at her brother, who had switched off his phone after getting irritated. She tried to study witchcraft, but she failed to do because neither her mind nor her heart was stable.
She closed her eyes, hugged the pillow, and recalled the incident that happened when she had just walked out of Artemis’s suite.

FLASHBACK
Both Bolt and Artemis were really upset because Caroline was leaving, but somehow they consoled each other with the fact that she would return to them soon. She had to, and until then, they would have her panties as her memory.
There was no way he would throw it. Not at any cost.
Once she left the suite, they dared not follow her, not when she wanted some space between them. Bolt whiffed her panties when he had been holding them in his hand, bringing them close to his nose.
‘It smells like her.’ he talked with Artemis, who was also grieving in pain just like him.
‘I doubt that’s her near smell. It’s the smell of her body wash and detergent she uses to clean it.’ Artemis pointed out.
‘Whatever. The best part of these panties is that it is still soaked with her wetness. I will keep it in the freezer until she returns.’ Bolt shared his plans with him, and keeping the torn panties on his face, he took a deep breath.
All of a sudden, Caroline walked into the suite and caught Artemis red-handedly. Bolt quickly removed it from his face before speaking, “I… I was going to throw it.” Caroline narrowed her eyes, looking at him suspiciously. “By the way, are you back? That too this soon?”
“You’re unbelievable.” She muttered and left from there, this time for sure.
FLASHBACK ENDS

Caroline smiled, thinking about that incident. She went to check on Artemis because she was feeling restless after leaving him for a few minutes, and she had never thought of seeing him in that way. Immediately her smile vanished when she realized the current situation.
She picked up her phone to call Colton again but thankfully, at the same time, she received a call from him. She quickly received the call on the first ring.
“God, Colton!! Who takes so much time in finding one tiny little detail.”
“I don’t have your just one tiny little work, Sarah. And knowing that he is your mate. I had to double sure of any news about him.”
“I’m sorry.” Caroline apologized. “So? What did you find?” She asked impatiently.
“Well, he doesn’t look like MISTAKE.”
“It means that he is a good guy, right?” Caroline asked to reconfirm from her brother in simple words. Because Colton’s view matter to her. As he was the carbon copy of her Father, she believed if her brother would pass Artemis, then her dad would also give him a green card.
“Yes! He is good to go for you. If this had been an arranged marriage thing, then I don’t find anything wrong with this guy. And the best thing about him is that he gives his family first priority, which is something that our parents taught us. But his experience with women is not that good.”
‘Women?’ Caroline thought. ‘I thought he had only one woman in his life.’Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“First, his real mother left him and then his mate. His Father then married the nanny that he had appointed for him.”
‘He didn’t tell me about it. But then I never shared a thing about him.’ Caroline thought.
“I have emailed you all the detail. I can’t talk more than this. My jaw will start aching.” Colton said in a serious tone.
“Thank you so much, Colton.”
“Hmm. So, are you returning the day after tomorrow?”
“I… I.. I guess, No. I want to spend some time with my mate.” Caroline replied.
“Okay. Keep me in the loop about any of your plans. And… you’re just allowed to date him. Nothing more than that.” With this warning, he disconnected the call, but Caroline just rolled her eyes.
Caroline went through all the details of Artemis and realized that whatever he had shared with her was true and correct. Now the question was his proposal of his to become his mate officially?
‘What do I want?’ She thought, and accidentally, her eyes landed on time; it was 00:06 already.
Shit!
Shit!
Shit!
‘It’s his birthday today.’ She cursed and quickly called him. And someone received her call on the first ring.
.
Artemis didn’t know how Caroline was spending her days, but he was totally miserable without her. He waited for a day in Spain, moping around in the room in which Caroline stayed, looking at his phone all the time with the hope of Caroline calling him, but her call never came.
He was having a hard time controlling his anger and his irritation by the end of the day. He wanted to hunt his mate down and bring her back, but he had to control himself.
He called his assistant, Kane, and asked him to send his private jet because he was returning back to Italy, chanting the line that Caroline told him, ‘if you need someone, then fate won’t let you lose him/her. Fate will bring him/her back. It may not be soon, but he/she will come back.’
‘You can’t find or reach near me not until I want to. On the top, Artemis, you can’t walk on the path of marriage alone. You have to give me space to walk me too.’
