A/N: Sorry for posting this chapter a bit delayed. Because of the festive season, I went on shopping yesterday with Mumma, and today one of our guests arrived home with their toddlers, who kept shouting and running here and there. Arrgh.. I so much hate irritating and mannerless kids.
Walking into the restaurant, Caroline went directly to meet the manager so that she could talk with her or him about the reserved table that was always kept for reserve for family members or for those customers who could pay three to four times more than the actual price at the last moment.“Yes, Miss. Do you have a reservation?” The manager asked.“No. I don’t. I’m a part of the family.” She said, giving him her card. The man checked Caroline’s name on his system, and when he found her name in it, he returned her the card. “Please arrange a private dining room with a table of two people.”“Okay, Ms. Haysbert!!” He nodded his head before asking, “Will you make the payment if you need a family discount.” he asked next. There were around fifty people on the list of family members, and it was the direct order from the head not to ask for payment if they wouldn’t pay for it.“No. We will be paying.”“Okay, Great.” With this, he personally guided Caroline toward the reserved dining room. “T
“Good Afternoon, Sir, Ma’am!! Your order, please.” The new waiter asked at the same time when Artemis got busy with his father. Caroline gave the order on behalf of Artemis as well, finding him zoned out. She knew that he was talking with someone.‘I… I will talk with you later, dad. I’m with Caroline.’ Artemis said before his dad would have started telling everything in detail, and he would have lost his mind then and there. Because what he had already had enough damage to Artemis's mind. Artemis wouldn’t be surprised if Caroline would sense his mood. 'You're with Caroline? Damn. I'm so sorry, son. I thought you were alone. I'm sor...' Artemis closed the mind link when his father was apologizing. After ending the conversation when Artemis looked at his mate, whose eyes were already on him."Are you all right?" She asked."Nope. I'm not." Artemis didn't lie to her. "I came to know something disturbing.""You can share with me if you want." She offered, on which Artemis shook his head.
"Don't think of me as the villain, Mr. Haysbert." Lorenzo Gosling said in a calm tone, seeing how stressed both Brandon, Logan, and Sophia were after listening to this piece of information, especially Sophia. She had suffered a lot because of his father and brother's mistake (Read Book- Billionaire's Ex-Wife & His Hidden Babies to know about it), and after twenty-five, those memories were back."We both are on the same way but in a different way. If you want to tell the truth, then tell her the complete truth. I want to hide it." He added."You know that the life of a lie is not long." Brandon pointed out."I know, but who is going to tell her the truth if not us? And Megan doesn't know that Caroline is Sila's niece, so there is no chance that she can tell about it to Caroline." Lorenzo said. Brandon didn't like the idea of hiding anything from Caroline, but not that the death of her parents related to Sophia's family members was really disturbing.They just couldn't drop a bomb on her
“Mom, dad!! What a pleasant surprise!!” Caroline said when she saw the parents of her mate at her house after playing with Artin for a while. She hugged Sila and gave a side hug to Lorenzo, and looked at Artemis, who was still playing with Artin in the playground.‘So, this was what he was hiding from me.’ Caroline thought.“I told Artemis to keep this as a surprise,” Sila said, assuming what was going on in her mind. Caroline just smiled on that part and didn’t comment anything on that.“Mom!! Are you alright?” Caroline asked, sensing something wrong after observing Sophia’s face.“Nothing, Princess. She is just sad that you will soon leave.” Brandon responded quickly before she would have started asking a lot of questions.“Aww!! Mom,” Caroline hugged Sophia tightly. “I’m not going too far.”That night Caroline stayed in her parent’s room for a long time, spending time with her mother especially. While Artin was his great grandfather, Logan, listening to stories from him about Prince
Artemis observed the tired look of his assistant, who looked drained out. “Kane, is something wrong with the assistant under you?” He asked, checking the reports. It had been one week since when he started working like a robot. Not just his assistant, even Caroline was feeling irritated with his all-the-time work thing, but just like Peter Parker’s Uncle said in spiderman, that WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY. Artemis’s responsibility and level of work had been increased after becoming the CEO of the company.Since Artemis was a werewolf, his body was able to manage this level of stress, but it was not the same with Kane. That was why he promoted two experienced employees under Kane. After all, Kane was also now the assistant of the CEO. “No, sir.”“Then? Are you not looking so tired?” He questioned, and immediately he smelt Kane’s arousal. He lifted his head and found Kane blushing. “Forget that I even ask something like that with you,” he added, shaking his head.“It’s n
Artemis parked his car at the park territory, and they hopped out of the car. Caroline had Artin in his arms, who was looking everywhere curiously.“We are at your Uncle's pack,” Caroline told him.“Uncle Colt?” Artin asked, getting excited.“No. Uncle Santino.” Caroline corrected him. “Now, are you ready for secret magic?” She asked to which he nodded his head happily. Caroline had told him already that just like she had shown him her wings, today Artemis was going to show him magic.“Ready?” Artemis asked.“Ready,” Artin said happily, waiting for the magic in the next moment. Since Caroline had already kept spare his spare clothes, he didn’t mind stripping in front of his toddler. Soon, his bone started breaking, and his body started changing.“Caro…” Artin quickly grabbed her tightly, unable to understand what kind of magic was.“Don’t be scared. I’m here, okay.” She whispered softly and made sure that he would watch everything. After a minute, a dark brown wolf was standing in plac
Once Artin slept peacefully, Artemis and Caroline enjoyed their time together in their wolf form, running together, playing together, and spending their time under the sky, looking at the stars. They were peacefully lying on the grass, thinking that now no more tension and problem was going to occur in their life. Little did they know that the problem was just a step behind their life.A day later!! Once Caroline left with Artin, Artemis returned back to the car and sat on the driving seat to get the return back to his office, immediately Bolt sensed someone’s presence in the backseat, and he quickly turned around and found someone whom he hadn’t seen face to face in the last ten years.“Hello, Emis!!” She said with a sly smile on which Artemis growled at her.“Seems like Bolt is pissed…. And even you’re not happy.” She said with a knowing smile on her lips.“What are you doing here, Isabella Lewis?” Artemis asked, controlling his anger.“My full name? Nevermind. Isn’t it obvious, Emi
Five days later!!"You both are getting married after nine days, and the tension between you two is not ending in the last five days,” Sophia said when Caroline was letting Artin eat on his own. His clothes were tasting the food more than him, but Caroline let him try again and again.Of course, in the end, she would have to feed him with her own hand.“I think, mom, we should think about whether we really need this marriage or not,” Caroline muttered, shocking Sophia.“WHATTTTT?? What did you say?”“You heard me,” Caroline said, shrugging her shoulder.“Caro, sweetie!! I’m almost double your age. So, if you don’t want to talk about it then it’s fine but at least don’t try to fool me.” Sophia said o which Caroline didn’t say a word. “You know during your Aunt Becca’s marriage your father didn’t have time for me just like Artemis doesn’t have time for you.” She said, recalling those days.“I know that part of the story, Mom,” Caroline responded. “Dad was busy preparing for the official
