Chapter 11

Derek Sinclair, Camille's assistant, got to the bottom of things quickly, but Stellan wasn't worried.With Camille's resources, he knew she'd uncover the truth sooner or later. He'd never intended to hide his involvement anyway. Besides, he'd already come up with an excuse."Yes, I was here," Stellan admitted without hesitation. "I only told him to stay away from you. That's all I did. Camille, you aren't going to hold that against me, are you?"I had no idea you'd fallen for him, too. I thought I was the only man you loved. So I went to confront him and tell him to back off to protect our relationship. What's wrong with that?"Stellan appeared perfectly composed, though there was a hint of hurt in his voice.Despite her suspicions, Camille's heart softened a little. Still, something this serious couldn't simply be brushed aside based on Stellan's word alone. The bodyguards who had been at the mansion that night were brought in for questioning as well.Camille wasn't about to pla

The blood drained from Stellan's face when he saw the USB drive in Derek's hand. He'd been careless and never considered that the surveillance footage might have been backed up to the cloud."Don't watch it!" He lunged for the drive, determined to destroy it. If it was gone, he might still have a way out of this mess. But if Camille learned the truth, everything would be over."Stellan, what are you doing?" Camille caught his hand, a sharp, scrutinizing look in her eyes.Panic surged through him, but he forced himself to maintain an innocent expression."Trust is fragile, Camille. If you watch it, it means you don't trust me. And once that trust is broken, we may never be able to mend our relationship. So please, don't watch it."Camille just stared at him coldly. After a long moment, she let out a quiet, bitter laugh."Trust? Stellan, aside from the night you saved my life, when have you ever trusted me or stood by me without wavering?"Back then, when my family hit a brief rou

One night ten years ago, Camille stormed off after an argument with her family and sailed out alone on her yacht.She was young and inexperienced, and when a storm hit, she quickly lost control of the yacht and fell overboard.As the heiress to a wealthy family, Camille had been trained in all kinds of skills since childhood, including swimming. But no amount of training could prepare her for the merciless waves of the open sea.She swam with all her might, struggling desperately to stay afloat, but the waves kept pulling her under. Seawater stung her eyes so badly that she could no longer open them.Camille thought she was going to die that day.Just before she lost consciousness, she felt a pair of strong, gentle hands catch her and carry her back to shore.The person performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and kept singing, trying to keep her from drifting off to sleep. The song was so beautiful that she couldn't bear to die just yet. Somehow, she was pulled back from the brink

"Ansel's voice is so hoarse. How could he possibly be the one who saved you?" he protested.Camille froze.Before Stellan could say anything else, Derek stepped forward."Ms. Ellery, I think I know why. According to legend, merfolk who want to take human form and walk on land have to trade away their most treasured possession to a witch. I suspect Mr. Wells gave up his voice."Suddenly, everything made sense."Ansel… why didn't you tell me?" Camille whispered, her voice trembling. "Why didn't you tell me it was you who saved me?"She was overwhelmed with anguish. Then she realized that she'd never told Ansel about what had happened ten years ago.They had spent three years together, yet she had never truly opened up to him. When it came to her own life, she had never thought it necessary to share much with him. Yet Ansel had always been the one who gave her everything without holding back.The video continued.No matter how many times Ansel promised to keep the secret, Stellan

No wonder the police had said no one came out of the mansion after the fire broke out.Now Camille understood how Ansel had escaped. She felt relieved to learn that he was safe, and it seemed he had left only because he'd had no other choice.The man she loved and the man who had saved her life had been the same person all along. She couldn't have asked for better news.As for Stellan, his lies, vanity, and ruthless scheming were more than enough reason for Camille to make him pay."Turn yourselves in to the police, all of you," she said coldly. Her gaze swept over Stellan and the bodyguards, all of whom had gone pale."One more thing. If you keep Ansel's secret, you might still live. But if you decide to tell anyone…" She smiled faintly. "Go ahead and see what it's like to wish you were dead."She regained her composure, feeling back in control.By the time the sun rose and the city fully woke up, Camille was already working in her top-floor executive office.She hadn't handed

Chapter 16

A full week passed with no word from Ansel, and Camille was running out of patience. That familiar feeling of panic and helplessness was creeping back in.Suddenly, something splattered against the window behind her. Camille turned and stared in disbelief as a flock of birds covered the glass in droppings, leaving it a stinking mess.Then the bird leading the flock dropped a letter through the open window. Maybe it was her imagination, but the bird seemed to give her a disdainful look before flying off, as if it thought she was beneath it.Pinching her nose, Camille picked up the letter.She'd expected Ansel to leave an address so she could go find him and see him in person. The letter did reveal where he had gone, but what she read made her heart sink."Camille, you saved my life back then, so fulfilling your 1,001 wishes was my way of repaying you. Now that I've fulfilled them all, I owe you nothing. I'm returning to the sea. We'll never see each other again.P.S. You saw the su

It was even more beautiful than she'd imagined, vibrant and full of color.Colorful coral reefs stretched across the ocean floor while beautiful little fish darted past. Castles made of pearls and seashells glittered like something straight out of a fairy tale.Not wanting to barge in, she waited patiently inside the submarine. At last, the figure she'd been longing to see appeared.Ansel glided through the water with an effortless flick of his crimson tail. His hair curled softly in the current, and his radiant smile was back.Camille stared at him, entranced. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she'd last seen him look so genuinely happy.Looking back, someone like her normally would have refused when he begged her to take him with her, however handsome he was. But something about the merman felt strangely familiar, and she just couldn't bring herself to turn him down.Now she understood why. They'd crossed paths ten years ago, and each had saved the other's life.

"Leave, and never come back. That's my wish."Camille's voice trembled. "Then… what about the other 1,000 wishes? Let me fulfill those before I leave. Please?""Every other wish is the same. I never want to see you again!" Ansel replied firmly.Camille squeezed her eyes shut, fighting back her tears, but she still couldn't bring herself to give up."Ansel, I know I've hurt you, but I came all this way because I really want to make things right. Do you have any idea how much pain I'm in right now? Every word I speak and every breath I take feel like blades slicing through my throat. I've sacrificed so much for you…"Ansel found it laughable."Really? You can't even handle this little bit of pain?" he sneered. "Do you have any idea what I went through just to take human form and walk on land? Every step felt like walking on broken glass. For three years, I never said a word about it because I didn't want you to feel guilty."Camille stared at him in shock.He spoke of it so casua

"I… I wasn't trying to make a scene. I asked if you'd ever loved me last time, but you didn't answer. I just wanted to know."Ansel looked at Camille in surprise. "I didn't answer because it was a stupid question! I have someone I love now. Why would I dwell on the past and answer a question like that?"The merfolk princess held Ansel's hand and suggested, "If you're bored, find something to do. Don't you humans have work to do? If you're that bored, go work overtime."Ansel burst out laughing.Humiliated, Camille impulsively shot back, her voice edged with hostility, "Three years ago, Ansel was almost hunted down and killed, and I was the one who saved him. Where were you back then? Are you sure you can protect him for the rest of his life?"But the merfolk princess wasn't provoked."After that incident, Seven went ashore to fulfill your 1,001 wishes and win back his soul. Meanwhile, I struck a deal with your human government for a long-term scientific research partnership."We
