Chapter 5
Mila 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, Isaac grab her by her waste and look straight in to her eyes and he kissed her deeply, he carried her to the bed and he laid her down removing her clothes from her body, kissing and caressing her all cover her body, Mila could not resist him, she was horny and was already on the mood and they both had sex.It was the next day in the morning, Mila woke up and could not find Isaac beside her, she saw breakfast baise the bed with a letter and flower, she took the letter and read and it was romantic words written there, she took the flower and smell them and it was smelling nice, she love them and was happy because she was treated special, Martine had never treated this way.“ No, I don’t want to fall in love with a human beside, he said he just want a baby mama, I am here in a mission” she said speaking to herself, and she remembered that she wants to go the museum to see her mother, she has ordered the driver to get the car ready so he can take her to the museum to go see her mermaid.Isaac was already in his office and he can’t get his mind off the night he spend with Mila, they had a good sex, his mum entered his office and he could not notice, his mum saw that his was lost in thought and she walked to his office chair and she sat down and still Isaac did not notice, his mum tap the table to get his attention and Isaac was surprised that his mum was already in his office.“ Mum! What are you doing in my office?” He asked.“ I still have right to this office remember” his mum said.“ When did you get to my office?” He asked.“ You were lost in thought” his mum said.“ You are right mum” he said.“ Humm… tell me why are you lost in thought? Is this about a woman because I can see you smiles and only a woman can make a man smiles the way I saw you smiled”’his mum said.“ Mum! This is not about a woman, I need a peace of mind right now, I know you are here to threaten me” he said.“ Good that you know already the reason why I am here” his mum said.“ Mum! I have a lot to do right now if you don’t you should excuse me” he said.“ Off course, I will but I just came to inform you that I give you just a month and by the end of this month if I don’t see any changes in your decision then this office will not longer be yours” his mum said and she stood up and left and Isaac watch his mum leave.The driver drone Mila to the museum, she get down from the car and she entered the museum and she walked straight to where her mother was captured, she touched the glass, her mother was able to move in the glass and she looked beside her and saw her Mila, from the water in the glass she called her “ Mila” Mila could shared her mum’s voice through the glass called her name, Mila touch the glass with tears in her eyes.“ Mum! I promise, i will take you out of here” she said and her mother was surprised to see her in the human world.“ You should not be here Mila, I don’t want anything to happen to you” her mum said talking through the glass.“ Do one thing for me mum. Do not say anything anymore, I don’t want people to suspect me but I promise you one thing that I will take you out of here soon”she said.“ They are a lot of securities here but I promise I will set you free, I will look around for the in and out of this museum and free you and we will go back together to the sea” she said.“ I am happy to see but I will take my leave now because others wants to see you and take your pictures, I have plans and I am sure it will work out to take you out from here soon” she said and she left since others wants to mermaids and take her pictures, Mila left.After some weeks, Mila is already setting up plans to get her mum out from the museum but she was feeling weak and having headache, Isaac notice and he called the doctor for her to have a test on that same day Isaac’s mother came to his house with anger since he had no woman to present to her as his wife or fiancé, the doctor came out from the room.“ Congratulations, Mr Walker, Miss Mila is 2 weeks pregnant”’the doctor said and Isaac’s mother was surprised and happy at the same time.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
He shakes his head and swallows. “He and Mary stayed at Gill’s house last night. They’re having breakfast there.”“You didn’t join them?”“No. I had to do something here.”“Okay. See you around.”He nods before going back to his food, then I sit next to Erica. She gives me a questioning glance, and I shake my head no before digging in. It’s a good thing I don’t have much of an appetite, because with weapons class first I don’t want too full of a stomach in case Mr. Brant makes us spar.Whose bright idea was it to have that class right after breakfast?Earwyn and her dogfish arrive, laughing loudly. They each glare at me before sitting and talking with their friends.Lumen turns to me. “Did you see that?”I grab a roll. “I think everyone did.”Halen glances over at them. “I wish I could’ve been there for the party.”“Me too,” I mumble. Maybe she could’ve talked some sense into me.Luckily, the conversation quickly moves away from Earwyn’s party. Everybody discusses the rest of their sp
