Pour empêcher le massacre du peuple sirène, j'ai décidé de monter à terre pour séduire mon ami d'enfance Cyrus, devenu Alpha. Il m'aimait encore et a fait l'amour avec moi passionnément pendant trois jours. Quand je me suis réveillée du plaisir, je n'ai même pas eu le temps de me réjouir qu'on m'a jeté un liquide corrosif au visage. J'ai poussé un cri de douleur, mais Cyrus a souri froidement à côté. « Alors, même une sirène immortelle peut ressentir la douleur ? » « Ce n'est que le début. Tant que tu ne révèles pas où sont mes parents, tu ne vivras pas en paix ! » Il a accusé le peuple sirène d'être responsable de la disparition de ses parents. Depuis ce jour, j'ai été forcée de le regarder flirter exprès avec sa maîtresse Emily. J'ai été obligée de retirer la Perle Sirène de mon cœur pour soigner le corps d'Emily. J'ai dû danser pieds nus en supportant une douleur atroce pour endormir Emily… Il m'a détestée jusqu'à la moelle, mais chaque fois que j'étais proche de la mort, c'est lui qui m'a prise dans ses bras pour me donner des médicaments. Parfois, il était cruel, « Tu crois que je t'aime donc je ne peux rien contre toi ? Qu'on continue de la torturer ! » Parfois, il était tendre, « Sois sage. Dis-moi où sont mes parents. » J'ai ressenti en silence son amour contradictoire. Bientôt, je n'ai plus eu besoin de garder le secret sur ses parents. Parce qu'une sirène qui restait trois ans sur la terre sans retourner à la mer finirait inévitablement par se transformer en écume. Il ne me restait plus que trois jours avant de mourir.

De dix à dix-huit ans, mes parents m'ont fait signer deux cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuf reconnaissances de dette. Chaque somme que je leur ai demandée, j'ai dû l'emprunter et je devais les rembourser une fois que je serais adulte. Puis j'ai eu un accident de voiture. Quand il a fallu payer les frais de chirurgie, il manquait encore trois mille euros sur mon compte. À bout de ressources, je n'ai eu d'autre choix que de supplier mes parents. Mais ils ont juste eu un rire froid : « Manon Besson, tu as déjà dix-huit ans, nous n'avons plus l'obligation de te donner de l'argent ! Tu dois signer une autre reconnaissance de dette ! » Les larmes aux yeux, j'ai signé la trois-centième reconnaissance de dette. Après l'opération, cependant, j'ai vu les photos que ma sœur adoptive avait publiées sur Instagram. Sur les photos, elle fêtait ses dix-huit ans sur un paquebot à l'étranger, entourée de personnes, comme une petite princesse. Mes parents lui ont offert un luxueux appartement dans le centre de Paris et les clés d'une Maserati. Même mon ami d'enfance la regardait avec des yeux pleins d'amour. Elle a écrit : « Merci à ceux que j'aime le plus pour ce bonheur parfait. » Et moi, j'ai baissé les yeux vers la reconnaissance de dette froissée dans ma main et j'ai soudain souri. Après avoir remboursé les dettes, je n'aurais plus besoin d'une telle famille.
