(MELISSA'S POV)
Sitting down in an object the leaf boy called a bed, I glanced around the room and smiled. Everywhere is so beautiful and I love the smell oozing out from what he gave me to put on.
I kept on sniffing it but I couldn't get enough of the leaf boy's scent on the object he gave me. He called it clothes I guess.
"Oh mother!!!! I am in human's world and living the life they deprived you of" I thought wishing she was alive and wasn't dead.
Remembering what happened after he pushed me out in the dark, I sighed. I sat down outside his house thinking of how I would survive and my body was chilling,I felt I would freeze at any moment.
I sat there for a while and when I saw a light flickering and coming closer to me,I ran under a box that he later called a car and hid.
What if the light was coming from Atlantica? What is the King sent his guards to look for me and bring me back after he found out I left" Numerous what ifs flew to my mind but I shrugged them off.
I don't think he found out because he already set me free and doesn't care about where I stay in Atlantica and if I survived or not. I laid on the object you called bed and dozed off feeling fulfilled.
(ASHER'S POV)
I got to the company and saw my mother waiting for me with her b**ch of a fiancee in the reception.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!! I groan inwardly and since they haven't noticed me,I took another direction I went to the meeting room the investors were already sitting there waiting for me. I entered and they all stood up to greet me I don't care about their so-called greeting.
Let the meeting commence, Philip my assistant said out loud.
******CHLOE*****
"Mum are you sure he will come today or did he travel? look at the time and he is not yet here and he wasn't at the estate yesterday night either" I said frowning and Asher's step mother patted me the shoulder. Don't worry he will show up, I'm sure he's not someone who misses work and maybe he was stucked in something moreover I'm sure he didn't travel remember we saw his assistant on our way and Asher doesn't go on any business trip without him" she said and I frowned more.
"What if he went on a pleasure trip? I asked pouting and she laughed out loud "Hahahaha can you be more funny my son doesn't leave his business and tons of companies just to go on a pleasure trip; He is a workaholic and you know that" she said and I nodded still not convinced.
My name is Nelson Chloe and I am Asher's fianceé. Well he doesn't consider me that but I don't care as long as his mother promise me that I will end up with him, I will continue sticking to him until he falls for me.
He is lucky I haven't seen him with any other girl otherwise I would have killed her. Yes that is how far I can go to get what is mine and clear whatever part that is blocking it but Asher doesn't give two s**** about women and that is a plus bonus for me.
Asher you can run all you want but I tell you this you are mine and nobody not even you can stop me from loving you I said out loud and his mother grinned and patted my hair. "That is the spirit girl" she said and I smiled.
Few hours later, I was already getting tired of sitting in the damn reception with the receptionist eyes boring holes on me. I was about to tell mother that we should go and come back later when I looked up and saw Asher coming out of the elevator. I quickly rose up adjusted my shirt to show my b**bs and walked up to him smiling and hugged him.
Baby where have you been? "Mother and I have been waiting here for hours" I said pouting my lips.
"Who told you to wait for me? did I tell you I need you or anybody to wait for me here" he said and pushed my hands away and walked to his mother who was already asleep on the couch.
Well whatever you want to do, do it now because soon we would get married I thought smiling and also headed to the couch and sat down.
(ASHER'S POV)
The meeting with the investors took some time and I was intentionally prolonging it because I wanted my stepmother to be gone before I come out but I would say I wasn't so lucky as the so-called fianceé of a girl quickly hugged me immediately I came out of the elevator.
I groaned imagining myself punching her ugly face, I pulled her away and she smiled I found out that her smile wasn't as pure as the Melissa lady in my beach house. I couldn't stop thinking of that lady and comparing her to this ugly Chloe.
Is it the impeccable perky milky boobs that she bares and her round and plump ass that I'm sure will be as soft as her body.
"Ahhhhh!!!!! Asher are you fantasizing and insane girl? My sub conscience asked and I blink my eyes rapidly.
Chloe smiled and touched me "Baby where have you been? Mother and I have been waiting for you for hours now" she said and I frowned. "And who told you to wait for me" I said and pushed her hands away and she gave out that her annoying ugly smile.
I moved past her to my mother who was already asleep on the couch in the reception.
"Look at what she is going through because she wants me to settle down" I groaned and tapped her she blinked and gently rose up.
"My son you are here what kept you so long" she asked and I sighed. "Mum I was in a meeting with investors" I said and she nodded.
"Mum go home and sleep you look tired" I told her and she shook her head and pointed at ChIoe.
"Son I came here with her to work things out with you" she said and I frowned.
Not now Mum I have an appointment to catch up with and the client is already waiting for me I told her and just like God wanted to help me, Phillip came in immediately and I signalled him with my eyes, he quickly understood and said that the client is already waiting and we needed to leave now.
"See Mum go home I will come later to speak with you" I pecked her and she nodded and left with Chloe who kept whinning.
"B**ch" I muttered when they left and Philip Grinned. What's that on your face I asked him and he quickly wiped off the grin and gave out a nervous smile.
Why are you here I asked and he waved a file at me. It needs your signature he said and I nodded and collected the files, flipped the pages are signed then gave it back to him.
"Thanks for saving my ass Philip" I thanked him and he smiled punfectionary before he left and I headed to my office.
(MELISSA'S POV)I woke up and rubbed off sleep from my eyes now that I'm in human world I feel weak unlike in Atlantica where I work all the time without getting tired.My stomach grumble and I sighed. I'm so hungry I stood up from the bed and walked out of the room to where there were big boxes of human rocks that spread down towards the sitting room where we first met yesterday.I gently and carefully climbed down the human Rock and I smiled when I reached the end I looked around the entire sitting room as he called it but couldn't find what to eat. Remembering the sea I smiled happily and immediately opened the door and ran out of the house towards the sea.I reach there and looked around making sure no one was around, I pulled off the clothes he gave me and kept it on a rock and looking back one more time I entered the water and my legs changed to tail instantly.&n
ASHER'S POV I stood confused looking around the cafeteria in search of blue -haired insane lady. "Ahhhhh if anyone gets to know what I was doing here, I would be all over the news tomorrow and that is the last thing I want now. Going out of the cafeteria and outside the hospital, I sighed in relief as I sighted her sitting at a nearby ice cream shop licking a very big bowl of ice cream. "Shoot me" Just because of ice cream, she has to go this far to eat ice-cream. She Should have just mentioned it to me and I will get her as many bowels as she want. I matched furiously throughout her and yelled immediately I reached her front "Melissa what the hell are you doing here" I thundered and she grinning displaying or her teeth filled with ice cream and licking the ones dripping on her hands. "Humans food are so sweet" she said and collected another bowel from the ice crea
ASHER'S POVSitting and waiting for Melissa to be done with shopping, I got tired of sitting as there was no glimpse of her. I picked up my phone and decided to reply my emails and do some other things.After a while, I was done checking out and replying the necessary ones, I returned my phone back to my pocket and glanced up to know if I could atleast see her as she was taking too much time already. I have a meeting to attend to in an hour time.I gasped as my eye widened on sighting her. Woah! Is she some fallen goddess or an angel sent down to me. The outfit she wore, made her look exceptionally breathtaking. I knew she was beautiful but I never imagined her to look this way. In all my existence, I had never seen such innocent beauty.My heart fluttered as she smiled at me, exposing her two very deep dimples. My body started heating up and I released air from my lungs to calm myself d
ASHER'S POVRight on the kitchen floor, sprawn Melissa chocolate syrup all over her face. Many nylons and cans of food she consumed scattered in every corner of the kitchen floor.She was holding a half consumed chocolate tightly and snoring softly. What the hell!! The refrigerator door was widely ajar and the hell, nothing remained in the refrigerator.I can't believe she finished the whole snack and all the fruits I just stocked 2days ago and wait, she also ate ice cubes and vegetables.Shouldn't I be scared of the lady. Which human would have such appetite to consume such amount of food that I couldn't finish in a week if I decide to feed regularly on them but the lady sleeping on this floor actually finished everything and is snoring out even.This is unbelievable. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my eyes.I picked her up and was surprised how light weighted
MELISSA'S POVI sat down and started watching the humans in the box my leaf boy called Television, laughing out my lungs at the funny things they kept saying.Sweet aroma of food wafted through the air, making me salivate. I tried controlling myself to sit and wait for my leave boy to call me but I couldn't help it. The aroma kept tormenting me.I stood up after minutes of trying to stay put and gently walked to the kitchen.There, my leave boy was stirring the food while humming to a song. Smiling, I stepped into the kitchen and peered at what he was stiring.I tried dipping my hand to pick some of it, he spanked my hand with a big spoon, glaring at me."What are you doing here Melissa? I told you to watch the TV and wait for me to be done didn't I? He raised his brows and I kept quiet, picking my nails."It's not my fault, the aroma was damaging my nostrils so I had to come since you wouldn't call
TWO WEEKS LATER....."Father I won't marry her don't you all understand that I haven't found the woman for me" I groaned feeling tired already from all the stress."Don't tell me that crap Asher, I need an heir from you, you are not getting any younger. Tell me, for how long would I let you search for this perfect woman of yours? You will marry Chloe and that is final" He yelled pointing his hands at me."Father you can't force me to marry someone I dispise. I won't marry her so the earlier you all understand the better for you all" I shrieked already frustrated."We shall see to that Asher" he humphed giving me a lopsided smile.Can I leave now?" I groaned making the old man glare at me. "If you want to leave, you can but make sure you are preparing for your engagement".Engagement indeed. I stomped out of the old man's study."Son won't you stay for dinner?" Mom muttered coming towards me from the kitchen."No m
MELISSA'S POVI climbed down the stairs yawning from tiredness. I didn't go to bed on time last night because I couldn't stop watching the late night fashion show displaying.I loved the way they all dressed and spoke eloquently. I really want to be like that, go to school and be able to speak that way.I would talk to Asher about it, maybe he would get me a teacher so I could able to read and write. The little knowledge I have, I learnt from princess Melissa's books which helped me to understand most of human language.Atlantica do speak English but our English is kinda different from humans a bit.Aroma of delicacy wafted through my nose as I reached the end of the stairs.I breathe in the the smell of food, my stomach rumbled as it noticed the food.I forgot whatever I was thinking and rushed to the kitchen, it could come later, now I need to taste that delicacy my
Melissa what are you doing in there, I heard the princess Luciana calling out to me and I immediately swam out of the room. "Am sorry my princess I'm just arranging the room" I said to her and she rolled her eyes sitting down and ordering me to fix her hair. My name is Melissa and I'm a blued tail mermaid slave. I work in the palace as the princess Luciana's maid. I was taken in as a palace slave when my mother committed a crime. She fell in love with a human and got pregnant for the human an act which is a crime in Atlantica. Going to the shores were prohibited and anyone found were punished severely but in my mother's case she was always going out to the shore to meet up with her human lover after she saved him from drowning they fell in love with each other and she sneaks out to the shore to meet with him. During one of our escapades, she was caught by The palace guard and brought to the King he

Days turned into weeks and my 18th birthday came. I am so happy that finally I get to be freed from serving my mother's punishment. I sat in my usual resting rock singing out and dancing and twirling my tail happily."Human world here I come" I screamed inside me and swam back to the palace. Soon the King sent for me and I went into the throne room."Long live king Lucas" I bowed to him and he know that nodded then I glanced beside him to see the queen." long live queen Adalind" I bowed and she rolled her eyes. The princess was sitting beside her mother and I greeted her also."Melissa today marks your 18th year of serving your mother's punishment after she died weakly without completing her punishment" he said and I sighed inside "I know they killed her know that to make me suffer but it's all over now I'm going to free year and go to the human world."So because you have completed the punishment you are hereby set free;
