By my third month on the job, I discovered that my coworkers had been calling me "the old crow" behind my back. The nickname came from none other than Jace's condescending secretary—because at 32, I was still clutching onto an eight-year relationship that hadn't ended in marriage. I confronted Jace. "Do you know your employees have been calling me the old crow?" He didn't even bother to look up. "That's just Sadie—she speaks her mind and means no harm. You're 32; why get so worked up over what a young girl says?" Then he gave me a faint, mocking smile. "Though honestly, it's a pretty fitting nickname." It felt like a cold hand had wrapped around my heart. So that was it—eight years of my youth, nothing more than a joke to him. I turned and walked away, handed in my resignation, and blocked every way he could reach me. But for the first time, the man who had always seemed so calm and untouchable finally panicked. "Elara," he pleaded, "please come back."

Ich war die beste Auftragskillerin von Don Alexander. Seine Consigliere war ich auch. Und seine geheime Ehefrau. Fünf Jahre lang lebte ich diese verborgene Ehe mit ihm. Doch in all diesen Jahren erlaubte er unserem Sohn nie, ihn Papa zu nennen. Immer wieder sagte er, die verfeindeten Familien würden jede seiner Bewegungen beobachten. Mein Sohn und ich seien seine einzige Schwachstelle. Nur wenn unsere Beziehung im Verborgenen bliebe, könne er uns schützen. Ich glaubte ihm. Also schwieg ich. Ich stand an seiner Seite, regelte die Angelegenheiten der Familie, räumte seine Feinde aus dem Weg und hielt ihm den Rücken frei. Bis zu dem Tag, an dem seine erste Liebe Bella plötzlich zurückkam. Sie war nicht allein. An ihrer Hand lief ein fünfjähriger Junge. Für Bella und dieses Kind ließ Alexander kurzerhand das gesamte Disneyland reservieren, nur damit sie dort einen ungestörten Tag verbringen konnten. Genau an diesem Tag hatte unser Sohn Geburtstag. Leo hielt den Geburtstagskuchen im Arm. Die Kerzen waren längst heruntergebrannt, die Sahne begann schon zu verlaufen, und trotzdem blieb er stur an der Tür stehen. Er wartete auf seinen Vater. Er wollte unbedingt, dass Alexander mit ihm die Kerzen ausblies. In diesem Moment starb der letzte Rest Hoffnung in mir. Ich nahm mein Handy und sagte nur: „Hilf mir, die Identitäten von Leo und mir aufzuheben. Lösche alles. Jede Information. Jede Spur.“ Als mein Sohn und ich dann wirklich verschwanden, verlor der mächtige Don den Verstand. Er setzte Himmel und Hölle in Bewegung. Er ließ nach jeder noch so kleinen Spur von uns suchen. Auf der ganzen Welt.

Bei einem Ausflug in den Vergnügungspark brachte mein Beta-Freund Drew plötzlich eine Frau mit ihrer kleinen Tochter mit. Im Auto fehlte zufällig genau ein Sitzplatz. Drew bat mich auszusteigen und den Platz den beiden zu überlassen. Er sagte: „Laura hat es mit dem Kind nicht leicht. Sie sollen erstmal fahren, ich hole dich später ab.“ Ruhig stieg ich aus und sah zu, wie das Auto langsam den Parkplatz verließ. Drei Stunden später kamen sie im Vergnügungspark an und nahmen an der abendlichen Feuerwerksveranstaltung teil. Als meine beste Freundin Drew fragte, warum er mich noch nicht abgeholt habe, half er gerade geduldig Laura, eine übergroße Feuerwerksbatterie zu entzünden. Er war nicht im Geringsten beunruhigt und sagte: „Es ist kein Problem, Sienna später abzuholen. Sie nimmt das nicht krumm. Ich werde sie schon beschwichtigen, dann ist sie auch nicht mehr sauer.“ Wütend wird man nur auf Menschen, die einem etwas bedeuten. Dass mein Vater, meine Mutter und mein Bruder sich nie um mich scherten, habe ich noch hingenommen. Aber dass sich jetzt auch Drew nicht mehr für mich interessierte... Darum ist es Zeit, für immer zu gehen.

Um die Vernichtung des Meervolks zu verhindern, beschloss ich, an Land zu gehen und meinen Jugendfreund Cyrus zu verführen, der inzwischen zum Alpha-König aufgestiegen war. Wie erwartet liebte er mich immer noch. Drei Tage und Nächte verbrachten wir voller Leidenschaft im Bett. Als ich aus den Freuden erwacht war, konnte ich mich kaum freuen, da er mich bereits mit ätzender Flüssigkeit übergoss. Ich schrie vor Schmerz auf, während Cyrus kalt lachend daneben stand. „Eine unsterbliche Meerjungfrau kann also auch Schmerzen spüren?“ „Das ist erst der Anfang. Solange du das Versteck meiner Eltern nicht verrätst, wirst du keine ruhige Minute haben!“ Er war überzeugt, dass unser Meervolk für das Verschwinden seiner Eltern verantwortlich war. Von da an musste ich zusehen, wie er absichtlich mit seiner Geliebten Emily flirtete; musste die Meerjungfrauen-Perle aus meinem Herzen entfernen, um Emilys Gesundheit zu stärken; musste unter qualvollen Schmerzen barfuß tanzen, um Emily in den Schlaf zu wiegen... Er hasste mich bis ins Mark, doch jedes Mal, wenn ich dem Tod nahe war, nahm er mich auch in die Arme und flößte mir Medizin ein. Mal war er eiskalt: „Glaubst du, ich bin wehrlos, weil ich dich liebe? Wachen, foltert sie weiter!“ Mal war er sanft: „Sei brav und sag mir – wo sind meine Eltern wirklich?“ Stillschweigend ertrug ich seine widersprüchliche Liebe. Bald würde ich das Geheimnis über seine Eltern nicht mehr hüten müssen. Denn wenn eine Meerjungfrau drei Jahre an Land blieb, ohne ins Meer zurückzukehren, verwandelte sie sich unweigerlich in Schaum. Bis zu meinem Tod blieben nur noch drei Tage.
