The scene of the shipwreck came to my mind instantly. I seemed to recall the image of Dicken rescuing me from the water. His deep eyes seemed to leave a print on my heart. All the confusion in my heart seemed to disappear in a second. My mind was filled with many predictions. I couldn't help but turn my head to Jack, waiting for him to continue."Dr. Willie had previously given me a recording. It records everything that happened after your grandfather entered the time portal. That was an entirely different world from Earth. You can think of it as an alien planet. However, the recording was interrupted and intermitted. As a result, I was unable to hear it clearly. One thing I know for sure, though, is that your grandfather gave up something to return to the earth. He promised the leader there that he would pay a high price in the future in exchange for his return to Earth."It all came together in a split second. I choked and said, "Am I...the price?""Huh?" Jack looked at me in conf
Suddenly, Peter grabbed my wrist and said quickly, “Linda, what are you doing?” "I know of a way to heal her wounds. But both of you may need to look away for awhile,"I looked at them awkwardly and said. After all, Jolin was a woman. To heal her in such a small cabin, I need their cooperation. I was very familiar with the sense of humiliation. I can understand Jolin’s feelings now. It was similar to when I was being violated in the laboratory. I almost committed suicide. Fortunately, Jolin was asleep now. Otherwise, I dared not imagine how she would react to my impulsiveness. Thinking of this, I suddenly realized there was a surveillance camera above our heads. I started to feel worried. If I did this in the cabin, it would expose all my movements and Jolin’s conditions to them. Peter held my hand. He looked serious, and he shook his head, “Linda, I don’t encourage you to do this.” He stretched out his hand, gently touched Jolin’s face, and signaled for me to observe Jolin’
"I'll deal with it. Take care of yourself. Don't fight the merpeople above water; they're insane beasts. Only long-distance sniping is beneficial to us. Gary looked at the helicopter about to take off not far away, then escorted me away from them. Hahaha, good luck, guys."When the group had gone a long way, I became aware of the dangerous situation. Gary led the way to a cabin without saying anything. I started to get antsy. Gary had consumed alcohol. Even though he pretended to be fine just now, he laughed as he warned his subordinates. I assumed he'd been drinking a lot, and he was now inebriated. No one could have predicted the harm an immoral drunk would do to me when he abused his position of authority."Gary, take me to Laura. News: I have something to tell her. She'll be fascinated, and appreciate your efforts!" I abruptly said to him, hoping to divert his attention. But he shoved me right into a cabin, as if he didn't even hear me. Behind me, the hatch closed.The surroundi
As he loosened my buttons, I clenched my fist and forced myself to ignore him. "Are you doing this to prove to the merman that I am yours? Do you believe he will develop jealousy like any other man? Ridiculous. He doesn't give a damn. He's a beast, and this will only pique his interest. To him, I'm nothing more than a tool for satisfying his sexual desire. And you share his viewpoint. Do you believe that beast will feel anything for me? Don't you think it's absurd? You have no idea what you're talking about. I'm nothing more than a trade item he paid for in advance."This was my plan to deceive Gary. But I was perplexed. These words sounded like they came from my deepest thoughts. For a brief moment, I mistook them for real. They sounded reasonable. However, the image of Dicken and I spending time together seemed to contradict the thoughts. His narrow, deep eyes seemed to peer through the darkness and fixate on me. 'No!' screamed a voice in my head. 'It's not what you think!'The con
“Give me a reason to accept you, Gary. Please get a doctor for my friend,” I gritted my teeth and said. My eyes were contorted with rage. Gary rubbed his lips on the tip of my nose and breathed an alcoholic odor into my face. The scent almost made me vomit. "Linda, give me a taste of your body first. You know, I have been waiting a long time," He closed his eyes and kissed my ears affectionately. He held my face as if it was a precious jewel. But I didn't have the energy to be disgusted right now. My arms were in excruciating pain from being hung for so long. My arms felt like they were about to dislocate in the next second. I could even hear the cracking of my bones. But he didn’t care about my suffering at all. Instead, he continued to whisper in my ears, “Linda, do you know? You are the only comfort I have on this dirty, chaotic, and disgusting battlefield.” He paused for a minute and began to caress my back. He said, "You have no idea how charming you were when I first to
"Marry you?" I opened my mouth wide in shock. Gary was indeed a lunatic. It was the first time I heard of someone proposing marriage by hanging the other person up and threatening to propose marriage."Yes, marry me," Gary didn’t seem to realize it was a ridiculous joke. Instead, he began to murmur excitedly. He fell into his imagination very quickly, "I can’t wait to make you my bride. Linda, marry me. There’s no turning back. I have secretly found someone to write off your student and identity status. You are no longer a student at Maritime University. You’re a nomad of no nationality. Gradually, you will be forgotten. Following me is the best decision you have made."I was highly stunned as if the lightning had struck me. I only managed to react and understand what Gary meant after a long time. Gary took away my student status. I would not be able to continue my studies at the university. He destroyed my dream. He even erased my existence, removing me from Japan and becoming an in
I took the iron bucket without saying a word and walked into the hatch with it. When my vision cleared up, I realized what Laura meant when she said Dicken was hurting himself. My heart sank upon seeing Dicken. The iron bucket almost fell to the ground. Dicken’s wrists were no longer hung high above his head but had dropped to the height of his shoulder. He dragged the iron chains that were as thick as my wrist above him by force. A few deep ligature marks on his wrists caused by the iron chains were spotted. His bones were probably fractured and his flesh was exposed. The blue blood had solidified into a thick solid stuck between his wrists and handcuffs. “Linda.” Dicken fixed his eyes on me when I came in. The iron chains shook as he spoke, “Linda… I...” he stuttered. He seemed to want to express something but had no idea what to say. I suddenly understood everything. He had heard the conversations between Gary and me. Gary, the psychopathic indeed let Dicken listen to everyt
I held his wrists with care. Dicken uttered a low grunt. God knew how agonizing it was. I was heartbroken, but all I could do was look at his wounds. I slowly peeled away the new tissues stuck to the handcuffs, allowing the newly grown tissues to return to the exposed bones. I stuck out my tongue and meticulously licked all of his wounds, not missing a single one. Healing both of his webbed claws was not a simple task. When both of his wrists were clotted with a transparent layer, I was already sweating from tiredness. Then I finally realized a wet and lubricant thing seemed to be licking my chest. I lowered my head and looked. I didn’t know when Dicken rolled me up with his fishtail. He buried his head in my chest. He looked shy, fluttering his eyelashes, and seemed charmed by my body. He appeared to be aware that I was watching him. He cocked his head to look at me. A lovely arc formed at the corners of his mouth. My heartbeat abruptly skipped a beat. A hot sensation rushed fro
Before I realized what Dicken was going to do, he breathed an exceedingly high-pitched cry as sonorous as thunder. The entire cave shook in its wake as he grasped my hips with both his webbed paws, lifting me high into the air. A school of sea fishes suddenly swam out of nowhere in an instant, their bodies shining as they encircled us like birds. At the same time, the merfolk started dancing in excitement, kicking up splashes as they pivoted gracefully, the scales of their tails reflecting radiance amid the darkness just like stars in the night sky, the robust, burly mermen and the beautiful, devilish mermaids interweaving to form a bright river of stars.I stared at the stunned sight, mesmerized, spreading my arms by reflex as if infected. I wanted to embrace my dear leader who had surprised me endlessly, expectant of the new world he would take me to.That was when I heard a quiet voice beneath me. “Linda…”I looked down into his wide, narrow gaze that seemed to embody that rive
In the previous dimension where I lived, I had already been prepared to live away from the humans with Dicken. I had nothing aside from him, who was always by my side—our connection seemed so unbreakable just then that I believed that to be my fate.However, I still wouldn’t hope that he would keep killing because of me. Looking into his eyes, I pleaded once again, “Could you promise me to spare Baron? Right now, he’s of no threat to you or merfolk. As long as we return to the domain of your race, humans would have nothing to covet—can’t we stay away from those conspiracies? I’ll always be yours, dear leader.”Dicken looked deeply into my eyes as if he was considering my proposal, and remained quiet for a long time before he eventually gathered me in his arms. “I promise, Linda.”“Hey, shouldn’t we be going out now, and don’t you have an announcement to make? Your people are waiting for you.” I exhaled lengthily and patted his back just then.At those words, I suddenly realized t
That being said, it was no different from me letting myself be taken, because my stubbornness and determination only ever made Dicken want to conquer me even more. We had never been equals, be it fifty years ago or now.One might even say that he wanted me more after losing me once. His desire for me was so strong that he would kill Baron, even though he had granted me rebirth as agreed. After all, he wanted to be my one and only, and no merfolk were allowed to share a single iota of my sentiment. Fuck!I bit my lip, tearing it and tasting blood in my mouth just then, but I couldn’t feel the pain at all.He had suddenly let go of my ankles and gathered in his arms once more, and did so gently. His broad webbed paws caressed my back as if to reassure me, and he did not try to take me anymore.That surprised me, and I opened my eyes and saw that he was staring into my eyes. Then, his eyebrows lowered, he licked the blood on my lips lovingly, seemingly not as furious or agitated as
In fact, I was more willing to believe that Dicken was exaggerating, since my grandfather had never been out of line as far as I could recall. However, even as I assured myself, I was searching my memory in fear that my grandfather meant me harm—fortunately, I came up with nothing, since all I remembered about him was of him being a kind elder who had taught me to read and played with my younger self. There was no question that he had acted like an elder, and even if Dicken wants to take his place in my heart, it would be in a completely different role, since there would always be a part that he couldn’t replace.“Stop thinking about him now, Linda. He’s merely carrying out a mission I had assigned him, and the reason he didn’t lay a finger on you was because I had restrained him.”Dicken appeared to become angrier as he observed my expression, and his was unusually deep as if he would get furious soon. It left me uncomfortable—Dicken appeared reluctant for another merfolk to stay in
I suddenly felt a slippery sensation from my waist, and found the mischievous stingray curling into a ball as it hid behind me, seemingly startled by Dicken’s lecherous tongue.“See? You scared it, pervert.” I leaned in, resting the bridge of my nose against his head as I chuckled softly. On the other hand, Dicken pinched the tender flesh on my hip and stroked my back a few times as he watched me lovingly. “I really want to hide you away, Linda…”“Where would you hide me?” I buried my head in his head and sniffed—it was hard to restrain myself with that intoxicating champagne-like scent of his, but I promptly came to my senses as I remembered that fugitive. “Hold on, don’t seduce me or try to divert my attention with sweet words. What’s with that merman who’s saying that he’s going to look for your Yiki?”Dicken patted my head feebly and stayed silent for a while, but eventually admitted, “It’s Baron.”I froze, immediately remembering the furious glare of that merman who had hidd
“Why would you clothe me out of the blue…” I inhaled deeply, and as I pulled away from his kiss after much difficulty, I asked in confusion, “Are you taking me somewhere?”Dicken looked deeply into my eyes as if something astonishing would soon occur. “Yes… I’m going to announce to my subjects that you’re my mate…”With those words, he threw me over his back and swam out of the cavern filled with stone pillars.Gosh, I was flabbergasted. Still, I soon realized that this was pretty much how it should go, since Dicken had yet to announce about us to his subjects in this dimension. However, I felt a little headache when I remembered how the announcement in the last dimension had gone… He was not going to mate with me in front of everyone again, was he?“Your Majesty…”A high-pitched call suddenly rang from ahead, followed by splashes as a purple figure swam towards us. I was stunned when a face floated out of the water—that purple hair, along with those facial features that were sh
My eyes welled with tears and my mind went dizzy, while a scorching jet of water shot into my body. That was when I saw a blue light moving downwards from Dicken’s chest to where we were connected, and as innumerable jolts struck all over my body, my heart clenched in the intensive stimulation.For a few seconds, I was unable to breathe as all consciousness and emotions seemed to fuse together, rushing towards the wall that was blocking my memories…Then, the wall shattered. “Linda… Linda…”The familiar voice could be heard as if from the distant horizon, though it soon became clear and ultimately echoed beside my ears, and there was no doubt that he was beside me.“Dicken?” I opened my eyes and found my dear leader. It was as if I had met him once more after a slumber that lasted centuries, and yet I felt him beside me all along, and the memory of him taking this body was extremely distinct.I was at once confused and mystified as the memories from two different dimensions slow
“Damn it, you crazy animal…” I cried and moaned, my legs that were kicking Dicken’s shoulder caught by him with ease. At the same time, his body continued to press down on me from above like a hill, holding my body firmly down.Dicken’s hoarse voice spoke beside me then. “Don’t move, Linda, or I won’t be able to resist violating you even more violently—you have no idea how delicious you are…”I froze, my breath cut off at his words even as his tongue slithered into my ear and kicked it as if teasing, while his webbed paw groped my breast. A paralyzing sensation that felt electric spread all over my body, slowly easing the bursting pain of being entered. Soon, a familiar yet irresistible exhilaration occupied my senses, and even as I kept gulping, my own spit was welling out the corner of my mouth.Curious, Dicken stared at the edge of my lips and extended his tongue to lick it, as if it were the tastiest raindrops in existence. At the same time, I could feel him entering several inc
“Don’t be scared…”As Dicken inhaled deeply over my nape, his breathing became heavy and choppy. He twitched as he snuggled up against my back, and I could feel his humongous member flapping against my buttocks, along with its scorching heat. How could I not be scared by the prospect of that thing penetrating me?!I clenched my fist and punched at his tail which was darting between my legs, but he easily grabbed my wrist and suddenly turned around, pinning me beneath himself while his tail slithered between my legs and lifted my buttocks. Losing my balance, I fell sprawled over the reef, and as he gripped my hands to keep them behind myself, tears rolled out of the corner of my eye by instinct as lust and fear suddenly erupted. “No, I’m scared, Dicken… No, you’ll hurt me…”Dicken ignored my plea for mercy, however, and kept leaning on me as he gnawed my shoulder, as if to devour me by one tiny bite after another. The tenderness and adoration he’d shown towards me just now was gone,
