Ava's POV
"Who are you?" Don yelled after he pulled off the veil and the door flung open immediately"She is your wife" The woman who was waiting in the dressing room exclaimed
"Where is Lisa? What have you done to my Lisa?"
"Lisa left for another man and the woman sitting here is your wife. You performed the rituals with her and nothing will change that"
"Lisa is my wife and she will never leave me, so confess what you did to her?"
''I did nothing''
''I don't believe any word you say'' He rasped and walked out of the room and the woman followed
I placed my hand on my hip side and remembered I forgot my phone in Dyrus's room.I sneaked into his room and searched for my phone since he was not in his room but couldn't find it
I slid the drawer out in search of my phone and found a jewelry box in it

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 into the jar in my hand and sprinkled it on his face"Why didn't you do what the big man said?" Sam questioned as he kept staring
Unknown POV"Lisa!" I yelled as I moved closer to the river bank."Lisa, come back to your senses" I yelled as sighted Lisa moving closer to the river like a zombie.I moved closer to her to stop her but I bumped into some people.I looked around but lost contact with Lisa.I heard a noise beside me and I looked at the river.I sighted Lisa in the river and she made weird sounds as her clothes or into shreds and her legs webbed together with green fins.I became shocked, I never knew Lisa was a mermaid all this while and we have been working together for the past five years."I need to save her or else she might become prey to humans or jinns," I said to myself and held my breath as I jumped in the river.It was difficult to swim and my legs didn't web to a tail.I did not turn to a merman because the elders of the ocean rejected and cursed me.I swam closer to Lisa who gnashed her teeth at my movements.Lisa raised her tail to stab me but I weaved it and tried carrying her.I had a vi

Ava's POVI placed Dyrus's arm on my shoulder and strode to a car with the name Dyrus the king fashioned all over the car."This should be Dyrus's car. I saw a picture of him and some famous stripers with this car on I*******m." I said to myself as I opened the car door and flung Dyrus in the car."Dyrus, wake up, "I said as I sprinkled water I bought in the coffee shop on his face with my hands. He opened his eyes slowly"What happened?" Dyrus asked in a weak tone."You fainted for the past four hours. What is wrong with you? Thank goodness I hid you in a box or else Sage and that monster would have captured us." I explained and Dyrus kept on placing his hand on his head as he winced."Ava, drive me home, please. I don't why I am not comfortable in this environment. I keep on getting flashes like I once saved a mermaid and we kissed." Dyrus said as he stare into space."That's bad, we need to quickly move away from this weird place," I said as I looked down in grief for taking away hi
Chapter 10Unknown POVI strode to the abandoned house and went to the basement where I sighted Sage with a glass of wine"Why did you call?" I asked and she smiled"I completed the task, merry with me," She said and sipped the wineI walked towards her and sat on the barstool."Did you capture the mermaids?" I asked and she made a short laugh"I captured all the mermaids and merman in Ava's apartment swiftly," She said and I chuckled as a barman brought a wine. He poured the wine into a glass and I gulped it"It was so easy, I shifted to Jane and told Lucas about Ava's marriage then I hypnotized Lucas to oust the mermaids from the apartment. They all moved to a van where they became unconscious due to chemicals I exposed in the van." She explained.''Impressive powers, Sage.'' I chuckled."Meet Thomas, he is a close friend of mine," She said and a middle-aged guy appeared with a grin on his face."I am Thomas, what is your name?"Thomas asked as he stretched his hand for a handshake"
Ava's POVI examined my environment carefully, I was in a spacious room on a king-sized bed occupying little space and it has a sweet smell of roses.The pictures of a couple with a teenage girl holding a red teddy were hung on the wall.I tried to move my legs but it was like a vegetable stuck to my body.The door opened and the same woman came in with a tray of food."You will replenish your energy after you have eaten, "Aurora said as she sat on the bed and stretched a spoonful of cereal to me."No, thanks. How did I get here?" I asked and a bright smile appeared on her face. "You will find answers outside the mansion," Aurora said and pushed out a wheelchair that was behind a sofa."Shall we go?"She asked as she pushed the wheelchair towards me."I don't want to stay here, I want to go home."I tried moving my legs but they were not moving."What did you do to my legs? Why can't I move them?" I yelled and she sighed"The doctor gave you some drugs to relax the muscles of your legs
Avas POV"Goddamn it! Stop that act, monster. We can't become your prey" Ashley interrupted."Ashley is trying to accuse me"I whimpered at Aurora's puzzled face."Madam Aurora, please don't listen to this monster. She could kill us both." Ashley made crocodile tears.I balled my fist tightly trying to control my fuming anger."You scumbag!"Aurora shrug her shoulders and exhaled loudly."Ashley, that's enough," Aurora said.Ashley steadily lets go of Aurora's arm and clicks her tongue with a sore expression."I know this must be a misunderstanding. Ava can never do such, she is like a daughter to me and I am very sure she can't think of harming us." Aurora continued.Ashley's face turned pale as she glared at me with squinted eyes."I am so sorry for that. You look messed up. I need to get you treated immediately or else your injuries may worsen."Aurora worriedly said and pushed me in the wheelchair into the houseI looked back and noticed Ashley staring with lowered brows.Ashley tilt
Unknown POV I got married to Lisa since it has been Lia's wish to make Lisa her mother, but life has been empty after losing Lia. It started with nightmares. I would see Lia in my nightmares, trying to communicate with me but I wouldn't understand a thing. Sleepless nights followed, and every day was a nightmare. Lia would appear to me but she was more like a ghost, she wouldn't move nor talk. She stared at me while I cry at night feeling guilty for having her murdered by an unloyal friend Lora's ghost has been missing for days and that worries me a lot. I stared at the ceiling as the birds chirped good morning and the sunlight beamed through the curtains. "Sweetie" Lisa whispered as she kissed me. "How was your night?" Lisa asked. "Great" "You look moody, dear. Aren't you comfortable with me around or is this also about Lia?"Lisa asked as she opened the curtains widely. She had changed her nightgown and was dressed in a blue dress "I miss Lia a lot," I said and she paused. "Ev
