Chapter 6

  • Ava's POV
  • "What's going on in your mind?"Sam said as he snaps his finger
  • "I thought you were asleep," I said and he smiled
  • "I was, but it's morning already"
  • "Oh, it's morning. Everyone, follow me to the storage room" I chuckled and everyone obeyed.
  • We reached the storage room and everyone gasped when they sighted the big container filled with water.
  • "This would be our ocean for now," I said and they hailed happily.
  • They pulled off their clothing and dashed into the water.
  • I strode to Lucas's room and sighted Sam who was staring at Lucas.
  • "Hello, dear. What are you doing here?" I asked
  • "I came to check up on Lucas" He replied and I walked towards Lucas.
  • I placed my palm on his forehead and I removed it instantly. I removed a thermometer from the drawer and placed it in his mouth. His body temperature was very hot.
  • "Lucas, wake up," I said as I poured water in the jar on my hand and sprinkled it on his face
  • "Why didn't you do what the big man said?" Sam questioned as he kept staring at Lucas
  • "I can't leave everyone"
  • "That is the only cure and the way to save everyone from calamity. I am sure Lucas will get well immediately you step into that villa and would be able to care for everyone" Sam whispered
  • "That's true," I said to myself and became curious
  • "How did you know?" I said
  • "How did I know?" Sam asked and walked away
  • "I will do this for you, Lucas," I said and had my bath before walking out of the apartment
  • "Your majesty, where are you going to?" Jane asked as she glanced sideways
  • "I want to go fishing" I lied as I tried to walk away until I felt an arm wrapped around mine
  • "We can go fishing together, your majesty," She said and I unwrapped my arm
  • "No, thanks. Stay with others, the three-eyed man is still out there" Jane nods and walked into the apartment.
  • I ignited the car's engine and drove to Donald's villa.
  • Every footstep I took closer to the villa reminds me of the words Don and Dyrus said to me. I came to this villa for my people and Lucas.
  • I opened the door and bumped into a wall. I moved backward and came in gaze with green eyes
  • "Sister-in-law, are you here to check up on me?"Dyrus asked
  • "How are you feeling now?" I stammered
  • "Sister-in-law my foot, you have the guts to place those filthy legs in this villa. Loser!" He folds his arm and frowned
  • "Thanks for saving me, did you remember what happened after that monster pressed the red button?" I asked to verify if that scene was completely erased from his memory
  • "Yeah, I remember. What are you going to do about it?" He said and I gasped. I shut the door behind and held his collar
  • "Let's do this again, kiss me on the lips," I said and he flinched
  • "What the heck, why would I kiss you?" He said and I released my hand from his collar
  • "Are you shy? We can do it in your room" I whispered
  • "You must be crazy" He rasped and walked away.
  • The woman that was supporting me as Don's wife walked towards me
  • "I have been waiting for you, dear. Come in" She smiled and told me to go to Don's room
  • "This is the only way he gets to love you and I need an heir" She beamed.
  • "She is Don and Dyrus mother" I muttered
  • The only reason she is nice to me is that she needs an heir, but that would be impossible. I would never let him lay his hand on me.
  • She held my arm as we strode to Don's room. She flung the door open as her grip on my arm loosened and I sighted Don on a dark-skinned lady.
  • Pearls rolled down my chin as I remembered how Zach cheated on me. I used to love him until I found out he and Lisa's scheme
  • "Mum, can you please get out?" Don rasped and I walked out of the room
  • "Stop crying, everything will be alright," Mother-in-law said as she shut the door
  • "I will be back," She said and walked away.
  • I sat by the door and buried my head in between my legs as pearls rolled down instead of tears because I am a mermaid
  • I felt a touch on my shoulder, I looked up and sighted Dyrus
  • "What's wrong with you cunning fox?"
  • "Have you ever been cheated on?" I sniffled
  • "Oh, it's Don. You have to get used to that" He said and stretched a folded handkerchief to me. I grabbed it and used it to wipe the mucus that fell on my lips.
  • "Thats is disgusting. Why did you let it drop on your lips." Dyrus said as he flinched.
  • "I want to discuss something with you in your room" I stood up.
  • "Alright," he said as he curled his lips.
  • I strode to his room with the thought of how to kiss him and erase his memory about how he saw me turn into a mermaid.
  • Dyrus is a jinn and I must hide the fact that I am a mermaid.
  • I don't want my relationship with these jinns to leak to my people.
  • "What do you want to say?"Dyrus asked as he snaps his finger.
  • "How is your lover? Did you rescue his life? The guy was being overprotective" he continued as he waggle eyebrows.
  • "Oh, you mean Max. He's not my lover, he was my shield..." I paused as I was about to expose my identity.
  • "He is a close friend" I continued.
  • "What else did you remember?"I asked as I moved closer to him.
  • "Everything, I think," he said as he moved backward and I continued to move closer until his back hit the wall.
  • I moved closer to him and brushed my lips over his trying to erase his memory.
  • He tried to push me away then I grabbed his arms and push them against the wall. Mermaids are very strong and this resists Dyrus from pushing me away.
  • "Dyrus do you have an idea of where that weirdo is?" a voice echoed beside the door.
  • I turned around and sighted Don. Dyrus pushed me and sat on the bed breathing heavily.
  • "What on earth is going on here?" Don gasped with a sour expression.
  • "It's not what you think, brother," Dyrus yelled as he walked towards Don.
  • Don walked away and Dyrus walked after him and shut the d behind him.
  • "Damn! I was unable to erase his memory" I yelled as I threw my fist against the wall.
  • I strode out of Dyrus's room and sighted Don and Dyrus arguing.
  • Why is Don acting like he is interested in me? He had a fling with that dark-skinned woman and I did nothing about it.
  • What the hell is wrong with him? I only kissed his twin brother.
  • What if Don finds out Dyrus raped me before we got married?
  • Don slapped Dyrus's face which made a tan-skinned man interfere.
  • "That's enough! What is this drama about? "The man yelled as he walked towards us.
  • "I can't believe you raised your hand at me because of that filthy thing you call your wife. If you love her, you would not spend your nuptial night with a harlot." Dyrus rasped as he placed his hand on his cheek.
  • "Dad, I saw Don flirting with my newly married bride." Don rasped.
  • I can't believe that the old man is his father.
  • "Dyrus, don't you know it's a taboo in our family? There are ladies out there but you decided to flirt with your sister-in-law. You are a disgrace" The old man said in a husky voice.
  • The old man faced me "You..." he stammers as I walked out of the house.
  • I need to get rid of my anger in a nice place then I sighted a coffee shop nearby.
  • I walked in and a female in a black hoodie bumped into me.
  • "Sorry" I cooed. She walked through the wall leading to the three-eyed monster industry.
  • I became curious and sneaked into the industry.
  • The woman in the hoodie strode to the laboratory and started stealing some liquid substances.
  • "Hey" A voice rasped as I flinched and hid beside a wall.
  • It was the three-eyed monster, he walked towards the female.
  • "Hey friend, long time no see." The female said as she unzipped her hoodie.
  • "Sage, If not you have poisonous skin I would have hugged you."The three-eyed monsters giggled as he moved closer to her.
  • "Yeah, I know, and thanks for the compliment." She cooed.
  • "Why are you stealing from my industry? You should have asked for it."
  • "Oh my gosh, I can't believe this. I had no idea this was yours. I need it for my experiment" She giggled as she grabbed more.
  • "How about you join my team and we take down Ava and her troops?"
  • "Hmm... that sounds like a plan. You would avenge your wife's death but what is my benefit?"
  • "You get a lot of chemicals for free and you would have the chance to use your superpowers." The three-eyed monsters chuckled.
  • "Did you see Lisa? I need to explain some things to her"
  • "Oh, that white-skinned lady.
  • I hypnotized her to fall in the river nearby, she nearly shot me." Sage heaved a sigh.
  • "What? I have warned you to stop hypnotizing people.
  • Lisa is very special to me, what if she drowns?"The three-eyed monsters yelled.
  • "Oh, I think someone is in love"
  • I turned around when I felt a touch on my shoulder. I sighted a weird plant in a jar filled with water clapping its mouth on my shoulder.
  • I flinched and pushed the plant which made the jar tumble and clattered on the floor.
  • I peeped and sighted the three-eyed monster placed his hands on his lips as he walks in my direction.
  • I shook my fist ready to punch him in the face.
  • A hand pulled me to a corner and I hit my fist on his face. He held my arms and I had a better view it was Dyrus.
  • "Ouch, I was only trying to help you" Dyrus whispered.
  • "Hush" I placed my hands on my lips and peeped.
  • "What was that?" Sage asked the three-eyed monster.
  • "Nevermind. Let me go save Lisa." The three-eyed monsters said as he walked out.
  • "What are you doing here? You almost got killed" Dyrus whispered and held my shoulders tightly.
  • "Do you think I am weak? I can take care of them."I said and sighted Sage walk out of the industry then I came out of my hiding spot.
  • "Yes, you are just human. You are a weakling and I am a powerful Jinn." Dyrus boasts as he chins up.
  • This means Dyrus did not remember me as a mermaid but a random lady that became his sister-in-law overnight.
  • "Yeah, that's right" I agreed to try to hide my smile.
  • "I wish I can just go after that monster and kill him," Dyrus said as he moved closer to a tank filled with water.
  • "That monster can't be killed by anyone except the supreme leader of all-powerful beings can defeat him"
  • "Arrgh" Dyrus yelled as he placed his hand on his head and fell on his knees.
  • "Dyrus,what is going on?"
