24| Maverick.

I knocked on Arnicas' bedroom door, not getting an answer. She called me several more times today.

However, I was still in a mood, so I kept ignoring her.

I do somewhat feel like a douche, but I can not go back and change what has already taken place.

I just hope that it wasn't anything too important.

I knock again. Nothing. “Angel, is everything okay?” I open the door and find the room empty.

My brows furrow as I look around her room. I had already checked the living room and the library on the ground floor, but she wasn’t there.

Maybe she’s around the back, lounging by the pool as the last rays of sun beam down from the heavens.

I walk through the living room and step outside onto the terrace to find that she is not there either.

A weird, prickly sensation rides my spine, and I can't control the rage that is slowly brewing in my abdomen.

Where could she have possibly gone? When I find her, it might be a good idea for me to let her know that if she tries to run away from me.
