Chapter 5

  • "It was there," He said pointing at the wall
  • "It's time to sleep, good night" I snapped and the lights went off as I dozed off
  • I opened my eyes, glanced around the dark room only to find out that I was alone and a dark Jinn appeared gigantic before me
  • "Did you forget we made a deal?"He rasped
  • "I did not forget about it. I got married to Don as you said"
  • "You got married to him but the marriage was not only about the vows. It was also about responsibilities which you failed to do as his wife. Go back to Donald's villa as a wife"
  • "I can't. My pay was to marry him, not to become his wife. I have a family to care for"
  • "I can eliminate your so-called family with a snap. Do what I told you to do and stop being an ingrate" He said as he disappeared and I felt a slight touch on my hand.
  • I opened my eyes and found Sam staring at me
  • "I'm hungry" His stomach grumbled. I strode to the kitchen and sat him on a counter
  • "I want prawns," He said and I opened the freezer for prawns.
  • "What deal did you make with that big thing" Sam whispered as he dipped the prawn into his mouth
  • "What do you mean? How did you see that?"
  • "I want to go to bed" He yawned and walked away
  • I went to Lucas's room and sighted a big handprint on the wall
  • "The dark Jinn was here," I said to myself and covered the wall with a blanket.
  • No one should know about the deal I made and my marriage to a Jinn. I don't want to get rejected from the ocean because I got married to a Jinn.
  • "What if I get banished because of a deal" I waved the evil thoughts away and walked back to my room.
  • "Why did you teleport us? We would have watched how Dyrus dies"Lisa cooed
  • Unknown POV
  • "Jane and her troops appeared and I didn't want you to get hurt" I sighed when I sighted Lia playing with her doll
  • "Daddy" She exclaimed and hugged me. She walked backward when she saw Lisa
  • "I thought you were in the living room Lisa, how did you get here?"Lia said as she furrowed her eyebrow
  • "Lisa has been with me, who are you talking about?" I asked
  • "Come with me" Lia strode to the living room where another Lisa was seated sipping wine
  • "Who are you and what are you doing in my house?" I said and the other Lisa faced me with a smile
  • "I am Lisa, your assistant," She said. I looked back and the other Lisa strode towards me.
  • They looked alike, the only difference was their clothing. The Lisa that had been with me is in a red outfit while the other Lisa is in a black outfit
  • "Boss, she is lying. I have been with you all day, I am the real Lisa" Lisa in a red outfit said
  • "No, I am the real Lisa. I visited Lia like I usually do" Lisa in a black outfit yelled
  • "Lia, I think we should go to the room," I said
  • "I disagree, let's find the real Lisa" Lia smiled
  • "This is not a joke dear, one of them can be very dangerous" I whispered
  • "Lisa on black looks innocent and she played with me all day. The other Lisa looks evil and means" She whispered back
  • "I don't see any difference"
  • "Dad, don't you trust me? You don't believe your darling daughter anymore" She cried
  • "I do"
  • "Then do what I say. I want the Lisa on black"
  • "Anything for you," I said and the Lisa in red outfit walked away with a flushed face
  • "Thanks for believing me, boss" Lisa said and grabbed Lia's arm
  • "Let's play a game," She said and a smile brightened on Lia's face.
  • I got tired of watching them and went to my room to rest. I slumped into a sofa and heard screams.
  • I dashed out of the room and sighted a large mirror in the living room and Lia appeared in it.
  • "Dad, help me," She said as her image fades away
  • "Lia!" I yelled and my image appeared in the mirror with a wicked smirk on its face
  • "Come and save her" My image chuckled and it fades away.
  • I placed my hand on the mirror and it penetrated inside.
  • I walked into the mirror and it has glasses showing my reflection
  • "Where are you, Lia?" I shouted and it echoed
  • "Help!" Lia's voice echoed from all angles and I saw her in plain glass.
  • I walked towards the glass and it cracked.
  • "Daddy!" Lia's image appeared everywhere as she yelled
  • "Stop it" I yelled and moved towards the angle that became silent
  • I sighted Lia with tears rolling down her chin
  • "I'm here Lia" I whispered and carried her in my arms
  • "I love you, Dad," She said and placed a kiss on my cheek
  • We got out of the mirror and it turned to ashes. Lia curled on the chair and I gently pat her
  • "How did you get into the mirror? Where is Lisa" I asked
  • "Lisa told me to go into the mirror to get ice cream and she followed me in. Suddenly, she laughed and disappeared" Lia explained
  • "It's alright, no one will hurt you" I whispered and sighted a wrapped paper on the cushioned chair I sat on earlier
  • I unwrapped the paper and a wedding alter was drawn on it.
  • It reminds me of the conversation I had with the shaman.
  • The shaman told me there is a way to break the curse and the way would come to me by three strangers.
  • The first stranger is Lisa's look-alike that left a drawing of a wedding to alter
  • "Dad, I want pearls"
  • "Go and play Lia," I said as she folded her arms under her chest and I strode to my room
  • "The mermaids escaped, right?" She said
  • "Your expressions explain a lot. It's alright, we will capture them again" She placed her hand on mine
  • "Sure, dear. I need to call Lisa and apologize to her" I removed my phone from my pocket and dialed Lisa's phone number.
  • "Yes, boss" Lisa said in a sad tone
  • "I am so sorry, can you please come to my house?"
  • "It's alright" She cooed and ended the call
  • "Do you love Lisa?" I asked Lia who was playing with the paper of the drawing of a wedding alter.
  • "I do"
  • "How would you feel if Lisa becomes your mother" I stammered and Lia giggled and gave me the paper she was playing with
  • "You and Lisa would be there," She said and the doorbell rang. Lia walked out of the room and I followed her to see who pressed the doorbell
  • "Lisa!" Lia exclaimed as she hugs Lisa. Lisa carried her in her arms and placed kisses on Lia's face
  • Sometimes, I wish I was Lia. I wish she loved me more than Lia
  • "Lisa, I'm so sorry for what I did earlier" I apologized
  • "Boss, I went to the industry to check for pearls for Lia. Unfortunately, everything disappeared. Our men, hostages, everything vanished and it's Ava doing. We will run at loss very soon" Lisa said and placed Lia on her laps
  • "I know. Remember we made the industry in success and we can still do it again together" I said and Lia slept off on her lap
  • "What about the equipment? Everything is destroyed, how would we..." I interrupted her statement by placing my finger on her lips and brushing my lips over hers
  • "Why did.."She stammered and placed Lia on the chair. I held her arm when she attempted to walk away
  • "I love you Lisa" I had steady eye contact with her, raised my eyebrows and she turned back with a blush on her face
  • "Lisa, will you marry me?" I placed my knee on the floor and a rose in my mouth with a box of the diamond rings brought forward
  • "Yes, I will" She stretched her ring finger forward.
  • I inserted the diamond ring into her finger and she slid of hair behind her ear as she blushed
  • I stood up and wrapped my arms around her waist. We had an unblinking focused eye contact as I kissed her and light flashed on me and Lisa's face as we broke the kiss
  • ''Oh my Goodness, I have a new mum. Give me a nice pose.'' Lia said as she held a phone.
  • ''Lia, I thought you were asleep. Whose phone is that?"I said and tried to reach the phone.
  • It's Lisa's phone. Whoa, you are such a perfect couple. She saved you as My love in her contact list"
  • Lisa grabbed the phone from Lia and giggled.
  • ''Go to bed, my princess'' Lisa slightly pinched Lias's cheeks and Lia smiled.
  • "I want to sleep beside my mummy and daddy," Lia said and a big smile brightened on Lisa's face
  • "You cheaters!" Lora's voice echoed as the lights flickered.
  • "Who is that?" Lisa asked as she gave me a cold look.
  • "That's my wife's spirit," I said
  • "Why is she still living in your house? I thought you said you got rid of her spirit"Lisa gave me a confused look.
