Semua Bab CHASING TIDE. (MxM): Bab 1 - Bab 10

One of the most painful things on earth is to lose a loved one.Whether in death or heartbreak. It's a pain different from all others.You feel every burn, every ache, your senses awaken, and greedily await a memory to sip in and then wreck your entire being. She took everything.His Light.His Heart.His Soul.It had no end.For years it went on like it would never end.But, it did.He ended it all.Just in passing, a normal day, a day like every other, but it was the day, his heart danced truly and his chest tighten as if a fierce wind had passed by, blending with his soul, leaving a suffocating feeling in his chest, a choking sensation in his throat, there was a pressure making it hard to breathe.He had thin lips and was lightly colored, like a flower. He craved their sweetness, all of it. It doesn't matter if he was a part of this world or the one he had never heard of. The peace he restored was once stolen from him.Now that he has him, everything in the world ma

Chapter: 2.*******•••••Have You Ever Experienced A HeartBreaking Betrayal?•••••"Alexander, you should buy a house, let's get married before the baby comes." She had suggested."But, Maria--""I'm not having any children out of wedlock, Alexander. If you're not ready then we terminate the pregnancy.""What?" He gawked at the fuming lady. Of course, he wouldn't do that to his child. It's not like he wasn't ready but her demands were too high and he didn't have enough to meet all of them. It was all too sudden but of course, it doesn't mean he would want her to remove the baby. What kind of a man would that make him? Why would she even think that? That was never in his thoughts. "Please, don't speak like that, Maria, that's our child, my first baby, my love, and we won't do such a thing.""Then buy a house.""Can't we get married and still live here?" It's not a bad community. Yes, it was a cheap place but isn't happiness what matters in situations such as this? There is time for ev

Chapter: 4.******It was over.It was all over.No money. No home.Loans to pay.No child, no wife.Just a few clothes in his bag, an ID in his wallet, and a dollar.And just like that, all his dreams flew away with the winds. He was left empty and a shadow of himself. He couldn't go back home because then his mother would cuss him out. He deserved it though. He had fought off his family and had stayed hating them for years because they didn't like Maria and never gave their support when he told them about his decision to drop out of school and support her instead.He was ashamed.Disgusted with himself.They were right and he was wrong all along.He couldn't go back there. He would much rather be dead on the streets than return home. What would he say?What apology could he possibly give to his parents?Useless.The next few months were hell, he did all kinds of jobs and slept in his truck at night. Whenever Allison calls him, he would make sure to receive the call at a good time o

Chapter: 6.*****The city of Aquarial was created thousands of years ago. Thousands of years ago, the sea creatures roamed the Seven Seas, causing havoc and ruins among themselves and those who would trespass under the sea and above. It was a chaotic disaster for tens of thousands of years. Until the Gods took pity upon the sea creatures and sent forth a Fire Trident. It fell and merged deeply into the sea mountain. It was the only mountain in all of the Seven Seas and it has seven apexes all connected to one base. The sea grew warmer, the fishes went away into hiding, famine struck the Seven Seas and for many years the sea creatures feared their fate until the Elder of Elders summoned all sea creatures and asked that each Elect within themselves someone they considered worthy to lead and be the ruler over the Seven Seas.The sea creatures gathered, each having selected a worthy leader and thus the Elder of Elders led the seven leaders up the sea mountain to its apex. There he had th

Chapter: 8.*********"So? Did he fall for it?" The eager merman sitting beside the one that had placed the call asked once the conversation had ended. Roan turned towards the group of six and smiled grandly. "Of course, he did, he's completely smitten by me, it's pitiful." He spat, a taste of disgust lingering. "By the gods, he has to be the dumbest merman since the Fire Trident graced the Seven Seas." The first hateful merman mocked and the others laughed. "Even the crab soldiers would outsmart him," Hiro added. The crab soldiers were the dumbest of all sea creatures and they're mostly considered the clowns of the Seven Seas so they are often used in comparison with unintelligent sea creatures."When had you even discovered he preferred mermen rather than being embraced in the tender arms of a mermaid." Bay inquired and Roan just smiled. "I've known for a while." He replied with pride as if he had won a Nobel Sea prize."To think that he had to be the Tideian, ugh, makes me wan
