Isaac 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 a baby mama and that is final” he said and he thought of telling Mila to be his baby mama.“ Can you be my baby mama?” He asked and Mila was surprised.“ What?” She asked in surprise.“ Yeah, just to have kids for me with no string attached” he said.“ I am sorry, I don’t think I am a perfect match for this” she said.“ I will pay you off, I know you need help and you can use this opportunity to earn” he said.“ I don’t need your money, I only have one condition” she said.“ Which is?” He asked.“ I want to be going to the museum every day to see the mermaid that was trap” she said and Isaac was surprised by her condition.“ Is that all your condition?” He asked and Mila nods her head.“Yes that is my condition and if you accept I will be your baby mama” she said and she remembered about her boyfriend Martine.“ It’s not even as if he cares so let me do what suite me to save my mum” she said in her mind.“ Alright, it’s fine. Condition accepted but I will still offer you some money” he said and Mila smiles.“ Can we now eat dinner?” She asked and Isaac smiles.“ Sure!” She said.“ Are you sure you are confortable with this?”he asked.“ Yes, I am” she replied and they both eat dinner.After dinner, Mila was back to her room,she thought of sneaking out of the house to go to the sea to see the rest of the mermaids. Mila sneaked out of the house and she went back to the sea, she was on her mermaid form when she get to the sea, Martine and Clara were happy to see her that she came back.“ Mila came back” Clara said.“ Yes but not fully, I just came to tell you that I saw my mother, she was captured in the museum and it’s going take me time before I get her out of there” she said.“Tell me did the human treat you well?” Clara asked.“ Yes.” She replied. “ As far I’m in the human form they treated me well and I will be there for a while, I just came to tell you all that I’m fine and if there is any danger, I will let you know” she said.“ Am I free to come see you?” Clara asked.“ Yes Clara” she replied.“ Thank you” Clara said.“ I will be going back now before Mr Isaac start to look for me” she said and Martine was already jealous when he heard a man’s name Mila mention.“ Who is Isaac?” Martine asked.“ Welk that is the man who saved me when he saw me beside the sea and he took me into his house, he is nice” she said.“ I Hope, he hasn’t taking advantage of you?” He asked.“ Martine! Is not like we are in any sort of relationship so what I do is none of your business it will be bette did you mind your business” she said in anger.“ You are my girlfriend Mila” he said.“ I was your girlfriend and not anymore” he said and she hugged Clara and she swim out of the water and went back to the human world, Martine was upset and he can sense something fishy.“ I guess, Mila has started cheating on me” Martine said.“ Why would you say something like that about Mila your girlfriend, I understand how you feel right now because she is leaving in man’ house in the human world but you can’t name her because her mum is been captured there and maybe that is the only person who can help her, you can’t help her and I can’t help her either” Clara said.“ I can sense it that Mila is cheating on me” Martine said.“ Are you all about she is cheating on you or you are all about her safety?” Clara asked.“ I am about her safety but at the same time, I wouldn’t want to find out she is cheating on me because if she do then she will regret my actions, I love her so much” he said.“ Of you truly love her then you would have gone with her to the human world to save her mother, I could remember some time ago when your mum was in danger and was almost trap by the human, Mila risked her life to save your mother and she was not taking, she was almost trap but now it’s her time ti can’t help and you said you love her, no, you don’t love her but just playing with her, she proved her love for you but you never did” Clara said in anger and she left him while she swim away.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
The suite door flings open. Erica drops a load of suitcases and sighs dramatically. She swims over the pile and throws her arms around me. “I missed you! Did you have fun? I’ve got to fill you in on everything that happened!”I return the embrace but don’t answer her question. I don’t want to talk about anything. The longest spring break of my life is finally over. I spent the majority of my waking hours studying before taking my exams. I’m not sure what the results are, but I sailed through each test.Isaac didn’t call or stop by once. Not that I have a shell phone, but he could’ve left a message or asked me to take the call from theErica doesn’t seem to notice my mood and goes on to tell me about her trip to the Atlantic. They explored a city and she met a cute guy who promised to keep in touch.She plops onto my bed breathless and smiles. “Now tell me all about your break. Tell me you didn’t study the whole time!”“That’s about it, really.”“What aren’t you telling me?” She tilts
