Chapter 3
The driver drove to the museum, Isaac and Mila get down from the car and they both walked in the museum, they are a lot of people in the museum snapping and watching the mermaid that was captured, Isaac and Mila were able to walk to where the mermaid was captured and Mila could see it’s her mother, she was about to shout “ mother” when she saw her mother in the glass where she was captured but she has to keep mute so that no one will know she was also a mermaid so they won’t capture her, Isaac was taking some pictures of the mermaid, Mila could not control her tears but she has to hide, her mother could not see her, she clean her tears.“ How can I take my mum out of here maybe in the night but they are a lot of security here” she said speaking to herself.“ Did you say something?” Isaac ask.“ Well I said maybe we should leave” she said and Isaac was surprised because not long they got to the museum.“ But why? Are you not amaze by seeing the mermaid” he said.“ Off course I am amaze but I am tired I think I need some rest for now, we can come back here tomorrow” she said and Isaac stare at her.“ Alright but I don’t think I will come with you home right now, I will tell the driver to take you home, I need to go see my mum right now, I will back home in the night” he said and Mila nods her head and she went with the driver home.“ Strange girl” he said.After an hour, the driver drove Mila to Isaac’s house and the driver took her to the guest room, Mila shut the door and she stood and cry remembering seeing her mum in the glass and she hope she can help her mum out of the museum so they can both go back to their world.“ You should not worry mum, I will help you out of where you have been captured but I guess I need to leave here but if I leave here how will I get to the museum again, I will need to stay here so o can get to see my mum every day and I will plan on how to get you out of there soon” she said.“ Ouch! My legs hurt” she said and she went to the bathroom and she saw the bathtub, she remove her dress and entered the bathtub and she was in her mermaid form, she smiled having her bath.Isaac got to his mum’s place and he met a lady seated beside his mum and he wonders who was that, his mum saw him and he ran to go hug him.“ Mum!” He said.“ Yes dear, you should come with me”his mum said and he hold Isaac hand and he took him to the beautiful lady.“ This was the surprise I had for you. Her name his Mary and Mary this is my son Isaac” his mum said and Isaac was surprised.“ What is going on mum” he asked his mum.“ She is the girl I brought for you to get married to” his mum said.“ What? Did I told you I need I wife right now? Mum please stop it, I am not interested in her” he said and Mary stood up and she was upset.“ What? What is going on Mrs Walker? I thought you said that your son saw my picture and he liked me and wanted to see me that is why I came. Listen Mrs Walker, I am not begging you to love me so don’t think you are so important and Mrs Walker, I am so disappointed in you next timeDo not bother call me. Excuse me” Mary said in anger and he let and his mum was so upset.“ What have you done Isaac? You should have at least try to know her first” his mum said in anger.“ Mum! I am not interested in any woman right now” he said.“ Alright fine. I give you one week to look for a woman and give me grandchildren or else, I will take your position in the company and give to your cousin remember I still have say after your dad’s death until you are married or have kids that is when you can have a full say on all properties, you are my only son and only child and I want the best for you” his mum said.“ Does it matter if I have a baby mama?” He asked.“ I want wife and kids from you and not a baby mama” his mum said in anger, Isaac left in anger, he walked out from his mum’s house, he get into his car.“ I don’t want to lose my properties to anyone, my mum only wants to threaten because of grandkids if that what she wants then I will get baby mama and get her grandkids as soon as possible I do not want a wife, I look for a lady to impregnate and I will pay her off if she give birth” he said in his mind and he drove off.Mila heard knock and she was still in the in the bathtub in the mermaid form and she quickly get out of the bathtub and she was back to the human form, she was on towel and she walked to the door and it was the maid.“ Hi Miss Mila, i just wanted to inform that the dinner has been serve in the dining” the maid said and Mila smiles.“ Dinner! Alright! I will ne there soon” she said and the maid left and Mila shut the door back.“ The time is just 5pm and the dinner is serve, I heard human are wicked but Mr Isaac seems nice, I think I need to inform Clara that I am fine, she must worried about me” she said speaking to herself.Chapter 4Isaac drove back home, he get down from his car and he get into the house, Mila also walked out from the room and she bumped into Isaac, Isaac hold her when she was about to fall, they both locked eyes and Mila smiles.“ Thank you for not letting me fall” she said and she smiled, Mila went to the dinning and Isaac was still standing.“ You should come to the dining so we can eat together the dinner is serve” she said and Isaac went to join her in the dining and he thought about what his mum said, Mila could see that Isaac is worried.“ You look worried. What is going?”She said.“ Yes, I am” he replied.“ Why are you worried?” She asked. “ My mum wants me to get married and have kids and if I don’t do want she wants she will hand over all the properties to my cousin till I doWhat she want” he said.“ Why don’t you do what she wants? I’m sure you have a fiancé” she said and Isaac smiles.“ I don’t know, I only do one night stand thing with girls, I was just think of getting
Chapter 5Mila was back to her room and she heard knocked on the door, Mila was scared maybe they have came to looked for her and didn’t find her, she was already nervous and she went to the bed and asked the person who was knocking to enter, Isaac entered the room and Mila was surprised and she stood from the bed.“ Mr Isaac! Have you been looking for me?” She asked and Isaac was surprised by her question.“ No, I just came to check up on you maybe you are comfortable” he said and Mila smiles.“ As you can see, I am comfortable” she said and Isaac went close to her, Mila step back.“ Why do you have to step back?” He asked.“ Nothing. I guess, we are going to the museum tomorrow so I can I see my mum” she asked.“ Yes, but I will not be going with you, my driver will take to the museum, I have a lot of jobs to do at the office tomorrow” he said.“ Ok that is fine” she said and Isaac went close to her and he kissed her on her lips and Mila was surprised, they both stare at each other,
Cheering and applause breaks out all around me. I don’t join in because I have nothing to celebrate. It’s the end-of-term assembly, and everyone else is leaving campus to enjoy their week off. Me? Not that I want to party or have fun. I’m still processing, well, everything. My life has changed so drastically since arriving at Valora. And that’s putting it mildly. I have far more questions than answers.“You coming, Mila?” Isaac asks.I pull myself from my thoughts and realize everyone is clearing the auditorium. “Oh, yeah. Right.”He helps me up. “Everything okay?”“Sure.” I haven’t told him or Erica the latest news. It’s too much. I hardly believe it myself, but it’s true. Not only are my mom and Tobi planning on getting married, Tobi is actually my father. I thought I killed my dad, but it turns out Martine was my uncle. So, if I’m going to be forced to fulfill the Mrs Walker legend, now I have to kill Tiberias—the kind and loving twin. The king everyone adores.That entire mess is
He winks. “You’ll go?”“Fine.” I sigh dramatically.“You will? You won’t regret it!”“That’s yet to be seen,” I mumble.“Let’s change out of these uniforms, then I’ll meet you in the dorm lounge. Tell Erica to join us.”“Can’t. Her parents picked her up before the assembly. They’re vacationing somewhere in the Atlantic and wanted to get an early start.”“Then it’s just you and me. We’ll take my motorcycle.”I snuggle close to him. “I like that idea.”He laces his fingers through mine. “I’m so glad you’re feeling better. I was really starting to worry about you.”“I appreciate that. And you’re right. It’s time to stop moping and start enjoying life. And really, what’s not to enjoy? I’ve got you as my boyfriend, and Earwyn will be out of my hair for a whole week.”He snorts. “Except we’re heading over to her house.”“I hope Mary gives her a second head. Although that would be two mouths instead of one.” I shudder. “Maybe that wouldn’t be such a good idea.”Isaac chuckles. “Probably not.
Isaac parks his bike by a bunch of other ones and removes his helmet before helping me off. I hand him mine and shake out my hair, then take in the sight before me. Earwyn’s house is enormous. Obviously, it doesn’t compare to the castle or the academy, but it’s a mansion. Way bigger than the house I lived in on land. The perfectly manicured front yard is bigger than our entire property had been.“Over the top, isn’t it?” Isaac puts our helmets away. “But it does make for good parties.”“Let’s see.” I hurry toward theIsaac takes my hand. “Did I tell you how amazing you look?”I fight a smile. “Only about five times since we met in the lounge.”He pulls me close and kisses me deeply. “I haven’t said it enough then.”When we pull apart, I’m dazed. He whistles.I have no idea how he whistles underwater. I’ve tried but only manage to blow bubbles.Halfway to the house, I hear music and laughter from inside. Then glass shattering.“The party’s already started.” Isaac laughs.I reach for th
After the third one, a guy who’s rumored to be on his third time as a fourth-year reaches into his pocket and pulls out a bag of something purple and shimmery. “I brought the good stuff.”Isaac catches my eye and nods his head toward the house.Intrigued, I turn my attention back to the shimmery stuff. “What’s that?”A few people chuckle and giggle.“I grew up on land, remember?” I cross my arms. “I’m sure there’s plenty I know that you don’t.”The dude shrugs. “It’s tristle.”Isaac gestures toward the house again. “Come on, Marra.”One girl leans closer to the baggie. “How’d you get so much?”“I have my ways.” He turns to me. “Want to try some, land princess?”“I’m not princess of the land.”“Whatever. Want it or not?”“What does it do?”He smirks. “It’ll make you forget all your problems.”“Hand it over.” I reach for it.Isaac rises. “Sorry, but we’re leaving.”“Doesn’t look like she wants to,” someone says.I lean closer to the bag.“Mila, you don’t know what that stuff does.” Isaa
Earwyn and her dogfish are laughing in the kitchen. They stop as soon as they see me. She arches a brow at me. “Look who’s here.”“Yes, I am. What’s it to you?”Cove and Vanya giggle while Earwyn straightens her back. “Pardon“I said, what’s it to you? You going to kick me out? Rub it in my face that you got what you wanted with my dad’s death? At my own hand, nonetheless.” I try to glare at her, but I’m not sure it works.She waves me off. “You’re high.”I ignore the comment and move closer to her. “Everyone knows you have a problem with me. But here’s the thing—I didn’t do anything against you. Ever. All the slights you feel, they weren’t my fault. I didn’t ask for the suite! I had no clue my dad tried to kill Tobi. He set all his decrees on his own. None of it had anything to do with me! You should just give me a break. All I’m trying to do is make the best of the situation. You think it’s easy to adjust to life in Valora after living on land most of my life?”She starts to say som
Her nostrils flare and her face reddens. “Who else? You’re the one who knocked out a bar full of mermen!”I open my mouth but don’t say anything. She has a point. But I didn’t do any of it on purpose. I glare at her. “You’re the one who insisted I sing with you! The only person you have to blame is yourself!”“Get out!” She raises a fist at me.“I didn’t do this on purpose!”“Like I care! Just go!” She points toward the front door.“I didn’t want this to happen.”“Leave!”Without another word, I replace the mic on its stand and head out, apologizing to everyone along the way. Nobody seems to care, and none of the guys are even stirring.I hope I didn’t kill anyone. My stomach knots. What if I did? I don’t know anything about any of these siren-like powers. The creatures are just as shrouded in mystery as the pink-haired queen herself.And nobody wants an out-of-control siren freak like me.Not like I asked for any of this.Once outside, I close the door behind me and take a deep breat
