It rained heavily, I shivered as cold ran down my spine. The door flung open, Aurora appeared with a lantern."What are you doing outside?" Aurora questioned and yawned.I dashed in and locked the door behind me. "Ava, what's going on?" Aurora said. I shivered and handed the baby to Aurora.Everything fades within seconds and my body becomes heavy.Ashley's shadow flashed in my head as Aurora kept on yelling my name. Everywhere became dark... I opened my eyes and sighted Dyrus, he looked at me with love in his eyes."Dyrus, I missed you." I struggled to talk."Shh! You need to relax, love" Dyrus said placing his middle finger on my lips.I tried to explain how his brother, Don died but I was muted.I shut my eyes as he hugged me."Ava, are you awake?" Aurora's voice resounded in
Ava's POVI looked at the wall that was made of glass and transparent as I admired the outdoor decorations. A Mercedes Benz car screeched at the restaurant's porch. The door opened and a man with black sunglasses got out of the car. He had an aura of a king and ladies fled around him like he was a big celebrity. For a man with an aura like him in my restaurant meant my restaurant was slowly booming. I was excited for a while even when the feeling of being lonely was buried in meI walked to the kitchen that was on the right-hand side of the manager's office. The kitchen was lit up and the utensils were upgraded. The workers greeted me and I strode to the manager's office to check the interior designs.I heard Angela, my staff moan and the manager grunt followed. I became curious about what was happening behind the door.I slightly opened the door to satisfy my curiosity. I got shocked as my eyes met the manager and his staff making love.Mr. Chris was having a fling with his staf
Dyrus POVI arrived in D.C a few minutes before the meeting commenced. The elders of Jinns thought of naming this building D.C, it is fully named Djinn council disguised as a museum."I am glad you arrived on time," Dad said as he walked towards me with a grin on his face."I am not interested in an unreasonable discussion right now," I said and walked away.The clock tick-tocks echoed, the meeting began immediately and every Jinn was assembled in the big golden room including my father and my elder sister Angelina. Mrs. Donald, who refers to herself as my mother is no longer a Jinn and would not attend this meeting because she had twins, I and Don which is taboo.

Ava POVI felt dizzy and my eyes felt so heavy. I blinked continuously to stop being dizzy, then suddenly, the cab halted I appeared in a big hall. I fell to the floor as I realized there was nobody in the hall. The hall was decorated with flowers, the chandelier was hung in the center of the hall and it was sparkling. I was dressed in a wedding gown and shouted for help as I didn't know my whereabouts. Romantic music began to play as father appeared in the hall. "Father?"I called and he smiled as he held my hand. His hand was very cold and also warm but I was very happy to see him again. He is alive, I thought he was sacrificed by a Jinn as the royal wizard announced but he was right in front of me. He smiled as he lead me to the wedding floor where Dyrus was waiting. He looked very gorgeous and his face lit with a smile when he sighted me. It was like the day I got married to Don but this time, it was only father and Dyrus that were present. My wishes were coming to life. Fath
Ava POVI opened the door and walked into my apartment, it was filled with dust and the sofas were covered. I sneezed loudly and covered my mouth with my hand, It was like someone was here after I left. I felt uneasy and walked to the kitchen to drink water.The kitchen cabinets were empty and there was no food in them except the cold fish that had a rotten smell. The smell almost made me gag as I covered my nose with my hand. Cold fishes do not attract me anymore, they were like dirt to me.Everything that happened on the island after I got rejected by the ocean was a terrible disaster. I got rejected again and now I am just a mere pregnant and weak woman who wants the father of her children backI walked out of the apartment as a fresh breeze hit my face. I glanced at the money Zach gave me and decided to go to the store to buy groceriesI board a cab and it halted at the grocery store.

Ava's POVA fresh breeze blew my hair at my face as the car passed by, I froze at a stance as cold ran down my spine. I am freezing and my legs ached."You shouldn't be out in the dark" A voice emitted from a black car parked beside me. I looked through the window but I couldn't see a thing.The window slid down and Zach waved at me with a smile on his face."Hi, Zach" I smiled back at him, he looked gorgeous like he is perfectly healthy."It's not dark, it's just 6:30" My mood brightened as he opened the car door for me.I hopped in."Why would I leave a beautiful damsel like you on an expressway" He whispered as he ignited the car engine."Thanks," I said as I put on my seatbelt."Why didn't you tell me?"I asked and he glared at me.I got frightened as the smile on his face turned to a frown. A lot of things must be going on in his mind. He fixed his eyes on the road through the front mirror."Tell you what?"He placed his hands on the car steering and furrowed his eyebrows.I though
Ava POV I dashed to my room and I freaked out when I sighted Jane on the floor bleeding profusely.I moved closer to her"Jane, what happened? Who did this to you?" I whimpered and touched her stomach.Jane winced, I pulled my hand from her stomach. She must be in severe pain."S...sage, stay away from me" Jane pants.I looked around me, nobody was behind me. Is she referring to me as Sage?Her clothes were soaked in blood. I examined her stomach, the head of a spear was in her stomach.I can't call the ambulance, they will find out that she is a mermaid and this can be a threat to Jane's life.Sweat emitted from my skin in the air-conditioned room and my hand was trembling. Blood gushed out more from her stomach as I tried to remove the spear from her stomach. I wiped my sweat and summoned courage.I shut my eyes and pulled the head of the spear from her stomach, she screamed placing her hands on the deep wound. "You will be fine, Jane" I gasped.I placed my hands on her wound. I hop

I vomited this morning's food content and flushed as I washed my face that had started to spin alreadyThe door flung open and I turned back to see Dyrus with a smile plastered on his face."H..how did you get here?"I stammered and he laughed with displeasure shown over his face"You were a whore after all"He spoke in a rough voice as he glared at my dress and I heard murmurs outside. Dyrus opened the door widely and I walked out of the restroom to find out what happenedZach was cuffed by some policemen as they spoke roughly to him"What's going on here?"I asked as I heard whistling behind me.

"Release him right now, "I said and Dyrus laughed"He will be taken to the station and be punished severely for theft, "Dyrus said as Zach walked towards me"Don't worry about me, I w
