Unknown POV
"Bring them in and extract the oils completely" I ordered and the men carried the large containers of injured mermaids and merman to the big room.
"Thirty have been captured, how many more will be needed?" Thomas asked and I laughed aloud at his statement
"Thousands aren't enough, I need more"He bowed and walked away. Lisa barged in with a smile and cooed
"Zoey has good news"We strode into the office where Zoey was seated already, sipping coffee and munching cookies.
"I did not tell you to sit" I rasped and she stood up instantly. I sat on the sofa prepared to listen to the good news, she bowed and replied with excitement in her tone
"I found the prince" I sprang out of the sofa with a jolt and she brought a phone from her pocket.
I touched the phone and dropped it after feeling the mighty sensation
"It's her, the leader of the mighty troops. Ava" I said as cold ran down my spine. I am a merman that has been cursed by the elders after I fell in love with the troop's enemy, a Jinn.
She got killed and I must avenge her death, everyone in the ocean that was against my love must perish.
"You are very useful Zoey, we can find the prince and princess with the object you brought" I laughed
"Let's kidnap Lucas, threaten Ava to give us her people, and kill them all" She chuckled and I feigned a smile.
"I'm the boss here and decisions are mine to make. Is your mission completed?" I asked and the smile on her face disappeared
"I'm sorry boss, I was unable to hurt Jinn Dyrus. I spiked his drink but got interrupted" She said and Lisa kept mute.
" Lisa became a runaway bride to complete her mission and yet it was incomplete"
Sorry my boss"
" I am not interested in excuses, your reward is death" I smirked and made my third eye visible.
"Please, don'tkill me" She stammered as she took her last breath and dried up as a skeleton.
My mission was to distract Dyrus and eliminate him because I had a vision that he would become the leader of the magical beings-mermaid and Jinn. I made my third eye invisible and Lisa exclaimed
"Well done boys"
"Security" Lisa yelled and the two security men took Zoey's skeleton
"Lisa, you are in charge of this mission, eliminate Dyrus," I said and tried to wrap my hand around hers but she dashed out of the office.
"You can't avoid my love for you Lisa, you would be mine one day" A loud noise emerged from the phone on my table, I answered the call which was from 'Lucas'
"Ava, I have been worried since you left home" I ended the call and called Lisa from the telephone.
"I want Lucas"
"Alright boss," She said over the phone and I ended the call. Lisa has been with me for the past five years and she helped me with this industry where I avenge my first love, Lora.
My heart beats for Lisa now and I will avenge Lora's death. After eliminating Dyrus and Ava's troops, the ocean will choose me to be their leader, the Jinns will fear me, humans will tremble when they hear my name, and the universe will bow before me.
I would create a new world and Lora's spirit will rest in peace.
The clock ticked 8 pm, I packed some pearls from the storeroom and drove home. I sighted Lia at the porch with a worried face.
"Daddy!" She exclaimed and ran towards me. Lia gave me a warm hug and I pecked her forehead.
"How are you darling?"
"Dad, I'm sad. A kid in school mocked me because I'm motherless" She sobbed
"You are not, she traveled.."
"Dad, stop feeding me lies. I know she died after my birth" She interrupted with tears flowing down her chin
"Don't cry, I promise to get you a mum very soon," I said and brought out a bag of pearls from my car. A smile brightened on her face as her necklace began to glow.
"Thanks, Dad, you are the best," She said and vacuumed the pearls. I carried her on my shoulders, strode to her room, and laid her carefully on the bed.
"Good night daddy" She shut her eyes, I switched off the light and walked to my room.
"She misses you Lora" I whispered and Lora's spirit floated on the bed.
"She misses me but you don't" Her spirit cried.
"I do, I miss you a lot"
"Then why does your heartbeat for Lisa? Is it because she is the daughter of an elder?" She sobbed
"Please go and rest, I will fulfill my promise" I assured her but she continued to cry and I was unable to rest.
* * * *
"Dad?" A voice echoed as I flinched to the door and sighted Lia with a confused look.
"Did you spend your night in the restroom? It's 1 am" She said but I was muted
"Why can't Lora stop taunting you?" She yelled
"She is your mother"
"I know she is my mother, if she truly loves us then she should stop taunting my dad" Lia lowered her eyebrows and bright light beams.
"Lia, control your power" I yelled and slowly blinked my eyes. She disappeared, I ran to her room but she was not there.
Lia has the power to teleport when she is angry but she doesn't know how to control
"Lia!Lia!" Lora yells and floats out of the house.
"Jeez, Lora is to be blamed for this," I said to myself and walked to the car to search for Lia.
I ignited my car engine and drove to Lias's favorite playhouse but she was not there.
I got pissed off and drove back home, on my way home I sighted Lia sleeping on the road.
I was excited and got out of the car to take her home then a lorry came by speeding towards Lia.
Lia stood up with her eyes shut and walked towards the speeding lorry.
"Lia!" I cried out but she walked faster to the lorry. I became helpless and ran towards Lia to save her.
"Abra ca da bra!" A voice echoed behind me which paused the moving lorry, and I carried Lia to the car
"You need to take good care of her." the same voice echoed. I looked back and sighted a Jinn, Dyrus with his golden wand stretched to Lia.
"Abra ca da bra," Dyrus said pointing his golden wand at Lia which made her regain consciousness.
"Daddy!" Lia exclaimed and pulled her arms around me. Dyrus turned around and disappeared into thin air.
Immediately he disappeared everything began to move including the speeding lorry.
"Lia, what happened to you? Why were you moving towards the speeding lorry?"
"It was your step mum. She cast a spell on me when I appeared in a rocky cave.
"What? Is my step mum alive? Why would she do this to her granddaughter?" I whispered to myself.
"Don't worry sweetheart, no one can hurt you when I am here," I said and pecked her forehead. I carried Lia to the car, on the front seat. I drove the car home.
"You are banned from the ocean for impregnating the first child supreme leader of the jinns. I curse you that you won't be able to use your powers to do good anymore, you will watch your loved ones die slowly and you won't be able to do anything about it." a voice echoed in my head as I held my head.
"Daddy, what's wrong with you?" Lia asked as she got out of the car.
"I am fine, dear go to your room and get some rest. I need to attend a meeting, Lisa will come and spend the day with you".
"Really? I love you, daddy." Lia blew a kiss at me and strode to the house. A noise emerged from my phone and I saw a message from Lisa.
"The job is done. Lucas is currently in the industry it's time to execute our plan." I read the message out.
I messaged her to come to stay with Lia because I was scared of losing her and she agreed.
I drove to the shaman introduced by Lisa on how to break the curse.
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 followedI 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 itI slid the drawer out in search of my phone and found a jewelry box in it''What are you doing?'' I turned back and sighted Dyrus with

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
