FSL ENTERTAINMENT
Lotus went in with Jungkook beside her, beholding the trainees who’re getting trained by their trainers, they’re in the dance session right now.
Jungkook spotted Ryan amidst the dancers, he’s the best now since Jungkook is gone.
“There, my killer” he pointed and Lotus looked that way.
“The one wearing a cap?”
“Yes, it’s him, I need a keg of water, I should pour it down for him too and make him fall” Jungkook replied but Lotus stopped him.
“If you kill in your quest for revenge, you’ll disappear instead of going to the afterlife, do you want that?” She asked and he shook his head negatively.
“Then let’s give him what he deserves” Lotus smiled and stood right.
“Your tear” she said and Jungkook shed a little tear which he dropped on her pointer finger.
By now , the trainees are on recess so Lotus dropped the teardrop in Ryan’s water.
Ryan drank from the water and instantly, he screamed out, holding his head tightly.
?Ryan!
?Ryan are you ok?
The others rushed to him and Lotus smiled.
“What’s happening to him?” Jungkook asked.
“He drank your tear with the water, his head will split uncontrollably and he won’t be able to have a peaceful sleep till he tells the whole Seoul how he killed you” Lotus replied and Jungkook smiled.
“I love you noona”
Lotus stroked his hair and they both vanished.
Landing back home, she was expecting to meet Starr at home but he’s not.
“Why?, He promised to come early” she thought, picking her phone.
She dialled his line but it’s off.
“Is he ok?, I miss him” she thought worriedly.

MCDONALD’S MANSION
“What!, A girlfriend?, How could you even think of dating at eighteen!” Judy ranted loudly.
Starr was about to go out some minutes ago when she stopped him and when he told her he was going to see his girlfriend, she flared up immediately, saying she’s against it.
“She’s the girl in my dreams mum!” He yelled back.
“And I’m saying no love life for you yet!, When are you gonna start listening to me!”
“Dad supports me!, Why are you so different!” He shouted, wishing Davis is around.
“I’ll have to talk some sense into Davis once he arrives, it’s not making sense that you’re dating at eighteen, I told you no girlfriend till you turn twenty!”
“Why the f*ck are you taking this personal!” He shouted and he was surprised by her next action.
Judy slapped her soundly, he held his face shockingly.
“Starr…I’m…I’m sorry ok?… I’m….
He ran to his room before she could conclude, he shut the door on himself and sat on the ground, still holding his face hurtfully.

PRESTIGE RESTAURANT≈5PM
Chairman Kings car stopped in front of the restaurant and a guard came out of it.
He entered the restaurant and came back with Tasha after some minutes.
“Chairman wants to see you” he said, gesturing at the car.
Tasha hesitated before going in, finding herself beside the frowny man.
“I’m sure you’re aware that I’m on the lookout for Bluey” he said, not looking her way.
“Oh…yes” she replied fearfully.
“You guys seemed to have gotten closer before he disappeared, you have no idea of where he is?” He asked, finally looking at her.
“No…I don’t” she replied as innocent as possible.
Chairman Kings eyes caught the wristwatch on her wrist and he sighed.

It looks like it’ll soon rain but Martin doesn’t care.
He kept walking around the streets as dusk set in, he’s not ready to go back home yet, not just yet.
Finding out everything about himself and getting to know he has a nonhuman bride too, getting to know Mrs Luther is just a channel of his rebirth, not his real mother, it’s too shocking.
Surprisingly, the shock that Lotus isn’t human didn’t last on him, it left quickly… maybe because he has always found her weird and strange, she’s abnormally naive too.
To be candid, he misses her so much, that she avoided her all yesterday and he didn’t see her before the school closed, he hasn’t seen or heard her voice today too so it’s worse.
He got his phone and dialled her line.
Luckily for him, she picked.
“Hey cupcake”
“Martin” she replied sadly.
“What’s wrong?” He asked.
“Have you seen Starr today?” She asked.
“No, why?” He asked.
She didn’t reply, instead she hung up and that only increased how much he misses her.
Surprisingly, her location downloaded in his head and he could see the gold mansion live.
“There’s an house like this?” He thought, making his way there.

LOTUS’S MANSION
The appearance of goddess Rivera was what actually what made Lotus hung up on Martin.
She threw her phone on the couch and walked to her.
“I’m sure you know the question on my mind already” she said.
“Why he suddenly started smelling like you?” Rivera smiled.
Lotus calmed, waiting for her to say more.
“He’s your second choice” Rivera said.
“What are you talking about?”
“You’ll have to choose between him , and Starr”
“Impossible!, I can never trade Starr for any other person goddess!” Lotus shouted.
“I’m not saying you should trade him, I’m not saying you should choose Martin either, it’s your choice to make” Rivera replied and stood.
“Mul your junior mermaid was gifted to your mother’s womb by me, that’s why she is a normal mermaid who has no magical powers” she said.
“I know” Lotus replied.
“Cleo your senior mermaid was possessed in your mother’s womb by sorceress Morgana, she ruled Quenshi with her dark powers for centuries till your father fought the war to take the kingdom from her, your mother was pregnant during the war and when Morgana was getting casted, she left some deposits of her dark powers in her womb, and that’s why Cleo was born with dark magical powers” Rivera explained.
“And you, you know you were a gift too, you were gifted to your mother’s womb by Queen Cora, the first queen of the healers, the healers are the most powerful breeds of mermaids because of their pure magic and healing voices, you came from the breed of healers” Rivera continued.
“I know” Lotus said.
“Do you know there’s a curse on the healers?, And that curse is the main foundation of your cruel fate” Rivera said.
Lotus swallowed emptiness.
“Queen Cora fell in love with a human too just like you, but the human betrayed her and got her killed, she created a curse before dying”
“Which curse?” Lotus asked.
“Any mermaid from the breed of healers who falls in love with a human, the human will die and the mermaid will surely lose all her magical powers, even her voice” Rivera said.
Tears rushed out of Lotus’s eyes immediately.
“It hasn’t happened because you both haven’t completed the bond sealing, I mean mating” Rivera said.
“No!!!!” Lotus cried more loudly.
“Martin was brought to earth because of that, he’s the prince of seven fires, from the kingdom of fire, your cruel fate will be quenched if you choose him, he’ll protect you from the claws of upcoming enemies, but if you choose Starr, Starr will die, do you want that?” Rivera said.
” Stop talking!!!!, Stop!!!! ” Lotus yelled tearfully, her eyes shinning bright blue as tears rolled out massively.
Rivera turned her back and vanished.
“I love Starr so much!!!, This can’t be happening…no!!!” She screamed hurtfully.
She ran out to the pool, still crying blindly but immediately she jumped in and transformed, Martin appeared beside it.
“Mermaid” he smiled, her eyes widened as her golden tail shone.
“Martin, how did you…”
He jumped in with her immediately but she shifted back from him.
“Stay back” she said quickly, blocking her nose with her palm so his scent won’t penetrate but he still came closer and hugged her tightly.
Starr came in with tears in his eyes but immediately he saw the scene, he passed out.
