Chapter 2

      ( NEW YORK CITY(ASH group ofcompanies HQ)

Asher sat in a well furnished luxurious office twirling round the office chair and looking out of the window lost in a deep thought. His phone rang out and his sighed picking it up and checking out the caller.

"Aaah Mom not again he groaned and swiped the receive botton. "Mum what do you want" he said immediately and the voice at the other end shouted.

"Asher what am I hearing? did you call the security to drag Chloe out of your office for crying out loud she is your fiancee" she yelled almost blocking my ear.

 "Point of correction Mum she is not my fiancee because I don't remember when I made her that, you are the one who brought her so she should be your fiancee and not mine" he said.

"Well that is impossible because you are going to get married to her and you have to be good to her that girl is a good girl and also she comes from a good family, stop pushing her away Asher

She said and he rolled his eyes "if you are calling me because of that s**t then I will have to end the call I'm quite busy" he said and his step mother yelled more "don't you ever try that Asher don't..she was still talking when he ended the call and threw the phone back to the table.

What nonsense is all this how can she get a girl for me to marry did I in any way tell her or anyone that I need a s**t who wants nothing but my money.wh**es everywhere.

My name is Asher Smith CEO of Ash group of companies the number one top manufacturing company in New York and all over the country you can call me a mega Billionaire and that is why I don't want to be tied down with b**ches who only comes to me because of my money and how I handle them in bed.

The b**ch my step mother brought is not exclusive and will I say she is the worst. I wonder where my stepmother got heard from, who even made her think she can boss over my workers with her so-called title of a fiancee and always wearing skimpy dresses exposing an unattractive boobs thinking I will fall for that, she's not even my type.

I picked up my car keys and left the office to the beach the beach is where I often come whenever I'm pissed and it does the magic of taking away all my worries and replacing them with smiles.

I sat down on my favourite bench watching the waves the water creates. I love the serenity and calmness and because of that, I recently built a beach house few metres away from here.

I looked up and saw my house at the far end of the beach and smile now that my mother and her b**ch of a girl has decided to frustrate my life.

I am starting to think of moving over here since she doesn't know I have a house here so I can at least have peace and returned to my house without having to see any b**ch laying half naked on my bed.

 I dip my hand in my trouser pocket and brought out a picture that was taken time I was a teenager and my birth mother always brought me here and together we built sandcastles and play around the water those were the happiest moments of my life and this picture was the one she took of me and that was the day she died.

It happened on that day after we got back from the beach she got a call and she rushed her saying she was going to see her friends who was hospitalized on her way to the hospital her car collided with a truck and she was rushed to the hospital she died after two days. this beach also reminds me of her and all our moments together. I always carry around these pictures she took of me and the one I took of her that day everywhere I go.

 I smile looking at her smiling face on the picture and was lost in her gaze when a heavy breeze blew away my picture. I quickly turned back hurts and chased after money but the stupid blazblue it deeper and it dropped on the water and and it's angst I stood there food yours and somehow happy it didn't take away my mother's phone I would have tried this water and find it I walked back to my car and drove home.

           

           (ATLANTICA)

"My queen I went to.. to..." I stammered and she shrienked her face and glared at me. Sometimes I wonder why these people hate me so much and treats me like this.

"Maybe because I'm half human,half mermaid and I have the ability to transform my tail to legs; immediately it touches the human world and they are envious of me, hahahahaha serve them right" I thought smiling.

She dragged my hair and took me to the skull room; A room where dead water creatures skulls were stored and it was pitch dark she pushed me in and closed the rock. I gently sat down on a rock and scoofed "what small can they all do".

 I slept here most of the time and I don't consider it as a punishment any longer. "Looks like she just saved me from much stress" I muttered and slept off.

                   ****DREAMLAND****

I was walking on the human world on foot, "yes I have legs" I shouted happily touching them and swinging them when I sighted people running around and playing besides the water. 

Some were lying down and sipping on something that looks like flower juice and they were putting on colorful things on the body. I smiled. 

"Finally I'm in the human world and I am free to live among them and away from atlantica" I yelled and they all looked at me weirdly.

Most of the human girls were laughing and glaring and the boys were looking at me weirdly and licking their lips.

"What is wrong with them" I said to myself. I kept walking little by little because I wasn't used to legs and I still felt tingling sensations on my legs.

Suddenly I saw the boy in my leaf; my leaf boy I smiled and quickly ran to him. I grabbed him immediately and he pushed me away. 

"How dare you touch me with your filthy hands" he said and I looked down on my hands and frowned "but my hands are not filty" I said to him and he ignored me and walked off.

I chased and try to touch him but he moved back and I frowned" why is he running away from me" I asked myself and brought out the leaf from my hair and showed it to him, he quickly snatched it from me and looked at me wierdly.

" go away from here you s**t" he said and I frowned. "My name is not s**t ; my name is Melissa" I said to him and he scoffed.

"I don't care what your name is, get away from me" he said and looked down on me. He scrunched his nose and pointed at my body "why are you naked walking around the beach where many people are? 

"Is that how far you can go in order to get me to sleep with you? I am not interested in your body so take your filty self out of here" he said and the humans around there laughed and he walked away going to a box and left in the box.

I was still standing there when I suddenly heard my name and someone shaking me. I woke up and sighed, "so it was all a dream and I'm still stucked in this place" I muttered to my self and looked up to see a guard looking down on me and I immediately sat and wiped my face.

The princess is back and requests your presence he said and Swam away. Ahhhhh!!!! I groaned and look down on my tail, I touched it and sighed bringing out the leaf boy from my hair and stare at him.

 He is actually a man in my dream and not a boy. Though they look similar but the one in my dream is more handsome and so tall. I smiled and tucked it back before swimming off to answer the princess.
