Chapter: 41.*****Having settled the Merman in the pool both men walked into the living room from the back door both seated and looking out the glass door facing the pool. Easton stood up to go pour them drinks while Alexander kept watch."You know, because of you I missed work the whole of the day, I'm not entirely worried since it was Falcon who sent me off to go find you but I've been worried since bumping into him at the fish market especially with the warning he left me with.""Warning?" Alexander shot up to his feet and faced the other man. "What warning?""He said 'you shouldn't hide things from me, Mr. Easton, I will find out either way'..." He quoted the man."I don't know what to call this crazy obsession but it's starting to get on my nerves!" Alexander gritted his teeth.It was crazy, what's worse is he couldn't help but get excited knowing how the man wanted him. He just wasn't ready, besides, his brother... twin brother to be precise is in fact married to his ex. No mat

Chapter: 43.******Tide turned to find the man standing at the edge of the pool. He watched him from toes to head, looking at him intently, watching the way his eyes blinked, chest heaved, fingers trembled, and legs slightly shook, the man was nervous. He looked behind the man to find the other pointing something towards him. He wondered what it was."H-Hi..."He returned his gaze to the first man who had just spoken to him. The pendant around his neck glowed once the second man had gotten closer, it was the same the Merfaires had gifted him with on the day he visited Atana's resting bed. He wondered why it glowed and so he watched its light grow brighter, so great was its brightness that Alexander and Easton covered their faces when the light became painful to the eyes. Then the pendant broke into thousands of sparkles, creating a cocoon around them and while both men watched in astonishment at the beauty surrounding them, Tide saw the face of Atana flashing from that of the man ho

Chapter: 45.******"Sir," The man turned from his computer to meet the caller at his door. "May I?" He asked, still very aware of the frown sitting on the man's face. Matthew's frown deepened as he looked for the second time but again he didn't bother to reply. He had requested that he bring the information quicker and he is only returning three hours later. He had called Easton but after the fourth time, he realized that he was avoiding his calls and so he had to stop calling. Whatever games he played with Alexander he was sure to find out sooner or later.Jacob stepped fully into the living room where the man was sitting. His eyes didn't miss the empty bottles of whiskey and bourbon, littered about the glass table but he knew better to hold his tongue... Matthew isn't always sane when he is drunk which would explain why he ignored his calls so the man got closer and without a word offered him the tablet he held towards him and Matthew took it and immediately began to scroll throug

Chapter: 47.*****There is also this sudden calmness he gets whenever he is around these wonderful women. Michael would say… “You’ve got the Grans complex!” A part of him always calms whenever he is around the older woman, and that part of him often believes in the fairy tales she often fed his mind. He didn't mind and never judged her. Rather he listened attentively and enjoyed the stories mostly because they often left these senses within him with a feeling he hasn’t been able to explain until now. He could have sworn on one of their visits to the ocean he had seen a mermaid but that could only be his imagination, having fed his consciousness with tales for so many years his mind is bound to create these scenes every once in a while.Pulling those dusty old bags he waved dust off his view and coughed a few times but once all four bags were out in the open his grandmother slowly sat up in bed and helped him untie the bags which were sealed by some form of magic. It was mesmerizing t

Chapter: 49.******He took them and settled them beside the bed and whilst he did so he heard her begin to speak to him again. "Know this, little Matthew, just as the descendant of Bell the daughter of Atana walks the earth today, so does the descendant of Downy, the one who betrayed his mother.""But, grandma..." he called and when he looked up to her bed she was lying peacefully in it with her eyes wide open but her breath was no more, he still had too many questions to ask, too many he would still wish to know but for now he needed to bring these bags home safely. He was convinced now, without a doubt, that it wasn't just a fairy tale they told him. He informed the nurses of her passing and thus returned home with his treasures to store them away for safety. And since that day his pendant had only heated his skin once which was when she had wrapped it around his neck and today once he saw that merman cosplayer in Alexander's hands. Now, standing in the presence of all these myst
