Everyone was stunned at the sight of the gorgeous couple who descended the steps. Jason held out his arm for the girl. She stared at it in confusion for a moment.
“You’re supposed to hold it,” he gritted.
“Why?” she asked curiously.
“Just do it!”
A few meters away, David was watching the girl in dismay . Susan sent a pretty one but she seemed to be confused on what to do. He shook his head in dismay.
Alya hesitated before lightly touching his arm. Jason rolled his eyes and led the way.
The Mermaid looked at her surroundings in awe. She had never

“So who’s the investor?” Jason asked David.“His name is Oskar Jung,” David informed him. “He’s currently the Chairman of Sandra Fashion House and has recently returned from Italy to invest in the local firms. Sandra Fashion is a conglomerate and a force to be reckoned with in the global industry. They’re keen to look for a suitable partner but so far, they have been very selective. I’ve heard that Cain Tang is looking to get them as investors for his newly launched fashion line as well.”David handed him an Ipad which had the pictures of the investors. Oskar Jung was in his seventies with an impeccable fashion sense. He was wearing an exclusively designed dark blue suit with diamond cuffs and a hand stitched tie. His wife was next to him, in a formal jumpsuit. Even though s
“I wanna rip that smile off that bitch!” Tatiana growled. She was watching Jason and his date who had just re-entered the hall. That girl was beaming brightly which was attracting a lot of attention. Reporters were trying to get pictures of that girl but Jason was protectively shielding her, beckoning his bodyguards to shoo them away. To strangers, they looked like a genuine couple.Cain was also glaring at them. He had not forgotten the insult he faced and wanted to make the girl pay. But if everything went according to his plan, the girl would also die that night with his dear cousin.His phone beeped, indicating that he received a message. Cain opened it and smirked. His men had already sabotaged the brakes of Jason’s car. He stealthily deleted the message and kept a passive face.
Back at the mansion, Alina was worried about where the mermaid went. She woke up to find the latter had gone missing.Did someone spot her? She wondered. Or is she at the pool again?She quietly snuck out of the main house to check the garden.“Psst!” she hissed. “Are you here, Ms. Mermaid?”Silence.She’s not here either! Alina thought. Where is she?Alina doubted that the mermaid was caught. If she was, then the butler would have confronted Alina. But if she was not at the house, then where did she go?
“It’s done, boss.”Cain was grinning to himself as he listened to his hitman over the phone. He was still in the parking, waiting for Jason to come out and get into the car. Cain gripped his steering wheel when he saw his cousin coming out of the hotel with his date. A dark glare crossed through his eyes as he saw the couple getting into the car.The jealousy and anger he felt towards his cousin could not be expressed in words. Ever since the Cho’s had entered their lives, Cain was forced to share the inheritance which was rightfully his. The old man had sidelined his son and daughter-in-law whilst prioritizing his daughter. Aunty Maisy had re-entered their lives after running off with that scoundrel, begging for money.Just the thought of that
*Flashback* He stared at the twinkling stars above him. The sky was clear and the weather was warm. He could hear the waves crashing against the coast while the cool sea breeze felt comforting. moving his hand, he pointed at the North Star. āSo far,ā he muttered. He traced the skyline with his finger, wondering how far it extended. The boy was barely fifteen years old and his blue eyes gazed at the sky as he lay there at night all by himself. His mind was blank while his heart was numb. The boy was not sure why he was there again. Was it because he wanted to run away? But he could never run away. That was made clear to him years ago. Then why am I here? He wondered. He was lying atop a small rocky coast whic
The whole area was surrounded with police cars and ambulances. Jason stood at one end of the bridge, watching the rescue team diving into the water. A crane had managed to pull out his car but there was no sign of the girl.Officer John Ahn was there, overseeing the rescue mission. They had received a call on their emergency line that Jason Cho was in an accident while the girl with him was missing. Many hours had passed since then and the more they delayed, the lesser were the chances of the girl’s survival.David had also arrived on the spot, talking to the policemen. He had given a description of the girl to them but none of the divers could find her. The lake was deep but the tide was not so strong at that time. She could not have drifted very far.Jason was
Alina patiently listened to the Mermaid’s story about how she gave the pearl to her uncle.“So you’re saying that mermaids give their pearls away to someone once they fall in love,” she said. “And if that person does not fall in love with the mermaid then the mermaid disappears into the sea, never to be found again?”“Yes!” Alya nodded.“And if the mate has the pearl, then their injuries are healed quickly?”“Uh huh.”“So, to save my uncle, you had to give him your pearl?” Alina concluded.“Yes!&rd
āThe vitals look normal,ā Adrian said as he checked Jasonās pulse. The latter was sitting shirtless on a hospital bed. After Adrian heard that there was an accident, he thought that Jason was badly hurt but to his shock, the man was completely unscathed. āNot even a scratch,ā he murmured. āThis is strange.ā āI must have fell out of the car before it hit the water,ā Jason shrugged. āWerenāt you wearing a seatbelt?ā Adrian asked. āIt wouldāve been very difficult for you to take it off and jump while the car crashed into the bridge. Everything must have happened in a flash.ā Jason tried to rack his head and remember what happened but it was blank. He simply remembered that he passed out sometime during the even
