I Just Want Her Heart... Literally Chapter 11
What a tragic pair of star-crossed lovers."Is that so?" I asked. "Then how come I heard you've already contacted an overseas buyer so you can sell her off to repay your loan shark debts?""How did you know?" Charlie shrieked before slapping a hand over his mouth.But it was too late.A piercing scream erupted from Mia. "What?"I frowned instinctively. Even dead, this fish wouldn't shut up."You were planning to trick Mia into moving in with you, then sell her to someone else a few months later, weren't you? Unfortunately for you, she's dead now, so your plan fell through."Did you come back today because you found out a mermaid's corpse could still fetch a high price?"This was all the information my private investigator had uncovered while I was at the hospital a few days ago.And here I thought they were actually in love. As it turned out, Mia was the only one who'd gotten caught up in the romance.Realizing that he'd been exposed, Charlie dropped his act."You already kn

Mia's soul kept floating around me, buzzing in my ear like an annoying mosquito.So she had noticed everything I'd done for her after all. She'd just gotten so used to it that she'd started taking it for granted. To her, everything I'd done for her wasn't even worth the sticker Charlie had casually thrown her way.That was why there was a saying that animals could never be taught gratitude.Charlie, meanwhile, kept muttering "impossible" over and over again. He'd genuinely believed he'd beaten me, only to find out it had been a farce all along. He'd jumped right into the trap I'd set like a pathetic clown."Also, I've already called the police. You've been using your visits to Mia as an excuse to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of valuables from my house. You didn't think I'd let you get away with that, did you, Charlie?"I threw the evidence I'd collected right in his face.His face went pale inch by inch as he looked through the documents. He shrieked and bolted f

I waited for the perfect moment. Then, I pulled out my knife and, with one swift stride, plunged it straight into Mia's chest.I twisted my wrist, and a perfect-looking heart was exposed to the air.I'd moved too fast. Neither of them had time to react."Have you lost your mind?" Mia screamed when she saw me remove her heart.Everything had happened so suddenly. By the time she realized what I'd done and reached out to snatch it back, it was already too late. I'd already placed her heart in the special storage cooler and was rushing straight to the hospital.Mia stared blankly at the gaping hole in her chest. She couldn't understand why I'd done that. Was it just because she didn't love me back?Charlie, seeing Mia bleeding out beneath him, screamed in terror.In the end, Mia never got her answer. She just slowly slipped away, consumed by fear and indignation. Eventually, her soul drifted into the air, where she could only watch helplessly as Charlie fled in panic, leaving her c

"I just talked it over with Charlie," Mia started. "I'm moving into his place the day after tomorrow. His apartment is too small, and he doesn't have a climate-controlled tank. Also, his salary isn't nearly enough to support both of us.""So transfer some of your company shares to him. It doesn't have to be much. 25 percent should be enough.""25 percent?"I couldn't hide the disbelief in my voice. I had no idea what gave them the nerve to demand a quarter of my company's shares.Hearing my pushback, Mia snapped impatiently, "It's not like you're strapped for cash. What's the big deal about giving Charlie some? If you don't, how are the two of us supposed to live? Besides, he was entitled to that money in the first place. You're just returning it to its rightful owner now."I almost laughed from sheer anger. These two parasites were still trying to take a big bite out of me even on the very last day."Do you even know how much 25 percent is worth?"Mia's patience snapped at yet

I was still mulling over my conversation with Dr. Lewman, so I barely paid any attention to what Charlie was saying.I thought about how Dr. Lewman had told me to remove Mia's heart when she was at her happiest. That made me wonder when exactly that was."Do you know when Mia is happiest?"Hearing me suddenly ask a question—and a question like that no less—his lips curled into a knowing smile. He assumed it wasn't that I didn't care; I had just been too heartbroken to say anything, and deep down, I still cared about Mia.Charlie crossed one leg over the other, his expression delighted, and his voice taunting."When she's hooking up with me, of course."So that was it.When I returned home, I asked Mia the same question."Mia, when are you happiest?"She rolled her eyes at me."A whole day has already passed. Stop trying to figure out how to win me over. I'm never going to fall in love with you."Though I found her inability to answer a simple question almost laughable, I kep

The next day, I'd barely reached my desk when my phone rang.As soon as I picked up, Mia's condescending voice blared through the speaker. "Get home right now!"I sighed. I had no idea what kind of tantrum she was throwing this time."What is it? I'm at work."When I didn't immediately agree, Mia's tone turned even more irritated."If you don't come right now, I'm never taking my medicine again!"I let out another sigh. "Fine."There were only two days left. I didn't want anything to go wrong before then.When I got home, I found Charlie there, too."I've already arranged a job for you. Why haven't you gone to work?"Charlie stretched lazily, not caring in the slightest."You own the company, Ricky. What difference does it make whether I go to work or not? You just have to issue me the paycheck like normal."Mia nodded in agreement."Exactly. Charlie and I have some important business to take care of. Go stand guard outside the door.""If I stand guard, you'll go ahead an
