LOGINShe's the world's treasure, both cursed and graced with a voice that enchants anyone that hears it. Nicknamed as a siren, it's almost ironic how she is truly a mermaid. Ines is a mermaid with one wish; To return home to the Sea. But having been cursed into a contract with the CEO of her company, she is stuck on land with human legs, forced to create music for the world to hear. But that's all about to change with one fateful meeting. Alaric Clemente is an actor gracing the world with his talents; The embodiment of perfection blessed with good looks, money, fame, and influence, he has it all, but when he meets Ines Agua, a woman always racked in all kinds of rumours, he learns that she's nothing like what the rumours made her out to be, if anything, she's the complete opposite. With the spark of intrigue lighting their meeting, both Alaric and Ines learn that more than just their feelings are at stake in this game of love. With people striving to tear her down, curses chaining her to a land she hates, and a man making her want to risk everything, both the questions and answers are blurred beyond recognition.

Handing him the required amount with a large tip, I nodded gratefully before exiting the taxi, holding the door open for Ines as she slipped out, an excited look on her face that hasn't faded from the moment we got onboard the plane.Seeing this excitement of hers is the only thing pushing me to continue with the trip, but either way, it's too late to back out now since we've just arrived at our destination.My eyes took in the familiar sight of my childhood home, and both the good and bad memories came flooding in. When was the last time I visited this place? I can't even remember."Is this the childhood home you told me about?" She asked, standing beside me as my eyes turned to look at her, but she was so entranced by the sight that beheld her that she didn't notice my gaze. Holding her hand in mine, my own eyes went back to looking at the house.It was a large house, being more like a mansion than an actual house. Expensive red br
--Ines POV--"What is marriage, Sandra?" I curiously asked."Marriage? You don't know? Don't mermaids get married?" She paused in taking a sip of her tea to ask with widened, surprise-filled eyes."We mate. And once you mate, a bond is created that cannot be severed; I'm guessing that's similar to marriage for Humans, isn't it?" She hummed thinking about it for a moment."I guess so. Marriage is holy matrimony, it's a bond recognised under God's eyes between a man and a woman, but with modern day it's changed. To put it simply, it's a celebration of a new couple by law." She tried to explain, fumbling along the way, but I got the gist of it."I see... So, Rick told everyone that he loved me yesterday, does that mean we're married now?" She laughed at my ignorance, shaking her head.Showing me her hand, she wiggled her empty ring finger."A couple exchanges vows and rings, and then they register their marriage certificate. Married people have rings on this finger, and unlike mating, th
--Ines POV--I spent three years in the comfort of the water, enjoying the silence away from the Human world, and spending time with my family whom I'd been reunited with, but despite the joy I felt when with my family, the emptiness wasn't easy to ignore.Not when he was up there, and I was down here.It took three years for me to overcome the trauma that was Malachi and Maxwell, and three years for me to gain the bravery to return. But now that I'm back, all that fear felt like it was for naught. Because I'm not scared right now.And it took time to realise, but I see now, that with him, I never needed to be fearful.He's my home, my soulmate, the one with whom I will spend the rest of eternity. If any good has come from being away from him for three years, it's that my love for him has only grown.Entangled in his arms, we'd somehow made our way up the stone stairs, through the garden and into our home, and I gasped, my voice catching in my throat when he tightened his hold on my t
**3 YEARS LATER**--Alaric POV--"Today marks three years since the disappearance of famed singer, Ines Agua. After finding her freedom from the Kingston brothers, she graced the world with a musical single called 'Breathe'. A song that told us about her feelings on the situation, and the song hit number 1 in charts across the globe, but with no company to represent her in her absence, the singer was unable to accept any awards that she won. It is assumed that she returned to her home country in Portugal where she's reunited with her family, but nothing is confirmed. However, the question remains the same; Where is Ines Agua, and will she ever return to the stage?"The screen went blank as I turned the small television on the back of the seat off, leaning back on my car seat before looking out the window at the passing scenery.Three years have never felt so long with her absence.But I was intent on my resolve to wait for her, and that intent wouldn't be fading anytime soon."We're a
