The waves were thundering below, crashing mercilessly against the rocky bed. Lowell stopped the car and got out of it. He was on top of a cliff which was located in a secluded spot away from the public. Cars barely came that way so it was the perfect place for Lowell and his former partner Karl to carry out their activities.
Since Karl was dead, the place was now Lowell’s.
A strong gust of wind hit him as he carried the unconscious mermaid towards the hut. Heath Seo still did not reply to his text but it was only a matter of time. The man had gone mad looking for this creature and Lowell was sure that Heath would pay him millions of dollars for his service.
Kicking the door open, he put Alya on a chair and tied her up against it. He pressed the block
Before Lowell could react, Jason grabbed him by the collar and threw him out of the hut. Lowell was on the ground when he felt Jason’s punches hitting him at a rapid pace. Jason was beating him without mercy, crazed in his anger.The disgusting pig dared to touch Alya. His Alya. From a distance, Alina was watching in shock.She had never seen her uncle lose his temper like that. Even when he was angry at her or scolded her, he kept his temper under control but this...this was crazy!But she did not dare to stop him. Jason beat Lowell to a bloody pulp, breaking several of the man’s teeth. Lowell’s nose was also broken and he could barely breathe anymore but Jason did not stop.“Unc
*Flashback*He could hear the monstrous sea waves crashing against the coastline. The road near the coast was empty and desolated at that time of the night. The scent of salty seaweed hit him as he ran on and on. The marks on his cheeks and body were turning visibly purple. His ribs hurt like crazy but he kept on running.His sister had run away. She had finally escaped the purgatory they had lived in for so many years and was free from this hell. Their father looked all over for her, determined to kill her for ruining his family reputation but Sheila was nowhere to be found. She had managed to escape his clutches and now, his new target was his fifteen year old son, Jason.Everyday was a new nightmare. Jason would wake up fearing for his life. Was his father going to beat h
*Present*“Did you find them?” Cain demanded over the phone. Almost four hours had passed and his men were searching for Jason and Alya in the sea. Divers had arrived and a search party had been dispatched to find the duo who were lost. Malorie was sitting on a rock, comforting Alina while Monty was with his boss, barking orders at their men. Cain was pacing back and forth, looking at the sea every now and then for any signs of them.“Boss, it’s been over four hours and the tide was high when they fell into the water,” Monty muttered to him. “There’s a high chance we might not find them.”“We can’t give up,” Cain said firmly. “We’ll have to keep looking.”
Alya pulled Jason towards a cave. The tide was too high so they would have to wait until it went down and the shore was visible again. She pushed him on a flat boulder and hoisted herself up. He was semi-conscious and had gulped down a lot of seawater. Spreading him on his back, Alya began to administer CPR on him.She blew air into his mouth and pressed his chest until he coughed out the water.“Jason!” she exclaimed when he regained consciousness. “Are you okay?”She held his face with her palms, worried. His blue eyes met hers but he was giving her a strange look. He was not scared nor was he shocked by her long silver tail which was still glittering brightly. Alya tried to hide it but he stopped her.
Alya giggled as she swam further into the cave. The water was shallow in the cave so her tail was visible, shining like a thousand tiny pearls. She could hear Jason slowly swimming behind her but he was taking his time reaching her. The cave was not so dark thanks to the moonlight outside and it was not that deep either.She reached a small, flat island at the end of the cave and turned around to look for Jason. He was nowhere in sight.“Jason?” She called out for him but there was no answer. Alya waded in the water, looking for him when suddenly, she felt a hand grab her arm and pull her backwards. She yelped and landed on Jason’s sturdy chest.“You scared me!” she pouted, making him laugh. He chuckled in his silky tone and leaned c
A lovely rose color crept up to Alya’s cheeks when she saw Jason fully naked in front of her. His semi-erect rod was huge! The veins on it were visible, throbbing as his member rose. Jason never felt so turned on by a woman before.It was not Alya’s beauty which enticed him but rather the way she was looking at him with her innocent eyes. Her charm lay in her kindness and the genuine love she had for him. She saw on the stone like a shy bride, waiting for the love of her life to hold her. They did not break eye contact as Jason prowled towards her.He gently laid her down, gazing down at her. Her pale sin was almost glowing and her hair was strewn across the stone. She blushed harder when he was taking in her beautiful form and shyly turned to her side.&ld
“Let’s see how long you can tolerate my punishment,” Jason whispered to her.Punishment? What punishment?As if answering her question, he dived in between her legs.Alya let out a gasp of pleasure when she felt his tongue licking her clit and an acute surge of desire overwhelmed her. She tried not to moan loudly but the treacherous cries escaped her lips. Jason gently bit her folds, making her shudder. His tongue was tasting her wet core which was responding to him. Her soft flesh was like manna and he lapped her juices.“Mmmpf…” Alya mewled, closing her eyes. Her focus was on the magical feeling of his tongue which was exploring her most intimate parts. Never in her dream
Malorie and Alina were standing at a small port at the beach, anxiously waiting. The tide had gone down and Cain took his team out into the sea to look for the couple but there was no news about them so far.“I hope they come back soon,” Alina murmured. Malorie bit her lip, wondering whether to tell the girl that the chances of her parents surviving was very less.“Honey…”Malorie knelt down in front of Alina with a worried expression. “I know it’s a hard time for you,” she said in a gentle tone. “And I know you want your parents to return safely but there’s a possibility that...that…”“That they might never return?” Alina asked in
*Three Years Later*Jason was pacing back and forth outside the operation theater. His heart was anxious but thankfully, it was not in pain like the other times. However, it was extremely cold thanks to what was going on inside.“Relax uncle!”He looked around to see a spunky eleven year old girl with long, curly hair and the same blue eyes as him. Alina had a growth spurt over the past three years. She was now almost reaching his shoulder.“Aunt Alya will be fine!” she told him. “If you get too anxious, she’ll only panic.”“I can’t help it!” he scowled. “And kids shouldn’t be here! Why aren’t you at school?”
The sun was shining brightly in the sky. Its lights fell on the series of tombstones in the graveyard. Colorful flowers were blooming all around the family which was standing next to a pair of graves with a shared tombstone. Despite the nice weather, the family was solemn as they paid their respects. The tombstone had a writing on it:“Here lies Sheila and Charles Wang. Loving parents and good people. Date 19XX to 20XX”Max dabbed his eyes, lamenting the loss of his granddaughter and her husband. Cain and Jason told him that they died in a car crash and also revealed that Alina is Sheila’s daughter who was being taken care of by her uncle and his fiance. Jason and Cain stood on his sides with their lovers. Alina was kneeling in front of her parents’ graves, silently crying.“I miss you
Alina woke up in the hospital. She was heavily sedated; Jenna’s beating had caused her arm to be fractured.“Alya...sis…” she mumbled.“I’m here.”The girl’s eyes flung open and she was delighted to see that Alya was there with her.“You’re here…” she whispered, reaching out for Alya. Alya smiled and took her hand.“I am. You should rest.”“How long have I been here?”“Almost two weeks,” Alya said. “You were badly hurt by Jenna.”“But...Aunt Jenna
Jason and Cain sped towards the factory. Cain was on the phone with his men, giving them instructions.“My men just informed me that Heath Seo was spotted outside that factory we’re heading to,” Cain told him. “How did you know he’d be there?”“I just do,” Jason muttered. Cain was suspicious but he did not ask anything else. He had filled in Jason about what happened at the Tang mansion that morning and even though Jason was tense, he was also worried about Maxwell.“Looks like grandfather took this well,” he muttered.“Well, he never really liked my mother in the first place so he wasn’t too sad seeing her leave,” Cain remarked. They were now about to leave the main city but the factory was st
Jason pulled up in front of a restaurant when he suddenly felt the familiar sensation in his heart.“Agh!” he winced when his chest became cold. He was gasping for breath and closed his eyes to lay his head on the steering wheel.“What the hell?” he muttered. “Why is that sensation happening again?”He touched his heart and it was colder than the earlier attacks. Jason was sure that it was a warning sign and that Alya was in immense danger. Flashes of her running through the rain were popping in his head.“Why is she outside?” he whispered. He was so engrossed in his pain that he did not notice a familiar Maybach pulling up behind his car. There was a knock on his window and to his surprise, it was Cain.
*Few Hours Ago*Monty arrived at the place where Jenna called him. It was a narrow alley located within an industrial area where several factories were meshed together. The buildings were in a series of rows, put side by side. A small dockyard was situated at the end of the place where a few ships were anchored.The workers had gone home for the day because the sun was setting. The gloomy clouds hovered in the sky, indicating that it was going to rain that night. Monty looked around for Jenna and finally spotted her standing a few meters away. He slowly walked towards her.“You called for me?” he asked.Jenna was wearing a pair of large sunglasses and she took them off to examine him.“Did you fi
Malorie quietly followed Cain to the patio and waited for him to talk. He was quiet for a while before turning to face her.“You should have told me about this,” he began. “That my mom was threatening you. We could have worked something out.”“I wanted to find our child first,” she replied in a small tone. “If I had told you, she might have gotten alerted and killed Billy. I couldn’t take the risk.”Cain stared at her for a while before sighing. “We’re both idiots,” he muttered. “We talk about being on our own but in the end, we let my parents manipulate us…”Malorie was staring at her fingers, unable to understand what to do. So many things had happened and it was going too fast.
Dahlia was hosting her regular afternoon tea with the socialites at her home. As a tradition, she hosted these gatherings every week with the elite class women so that she could increase her network and influence. Despite the setback with the wedding, she was now more determined to match Cain up with someone even more influential than Jenna.“Mrs. Wang, I hear that your daughter Catherine is coming back to town!” Dahlia was saying. They were sitting in the living room, sipping tea and having cakes. Butler Austin put the trays of food in front of them and stood aside.“She is,” Mrs. Wang replied. “For a business deal.”“I hear that she is now a very renowned interior decorator,” Dahlia remarked. “Maybe we should have her over for dinner sometime next week? I&rsquo
Malroie was watching the news, filled with dread. Over the past week, there was nothing other than James Park’s sudden death which had caused the business world to go into a frenzy. The stocks of his company fell and it was acquired by the notorious research firm owner, Heath Seo. Jenna took over the business and the Tang’s were in great debt. If there was no additional investment, the Tang’s were going to be ruined.The reporters were crowding outside Cain’s office. They hounded him as soon as he was out.“Mr. Cain, what’s your next strategy to pull this business together?” the reporters demande.d “Can you save the company?”“Is it true that your wedding to Jenna Park has been called off?”“Can you
