He blamed his mother for his father's death.
Mr James Jones had an argument with his wife that morning, she accused him of having an affair with his secretary at work. That argument resulted in James travelling out of the country the next day on an unprepared vacation.
Isobel and Harry expected his return until they saw the news about the plane crash. And Mr James Jones was listed amongst the passenger on board.
Harry was very young at that time,he thinks his mom killed his father. She caused his untimely death.
And that as resulted in the break of bond between them.
He wasn't interested in taking over the company cause he thinks his mom would boss him around and try to control him like she did to his father. So he kept his distance.
Isobel feels guilt for James death and so she tries to make things up to him by taking over the company and takes care of their only Child.
Harry loves the view of the Sea.
He wanted to be alone and be far from his mother.
He studied abroad..In Italy
At 22, when he returned home,Harry moved out of their Mansion and bought a house by the beach.
Isobel never liked the Idea of Harry residing by the beach but she had no choice other than to accept his decision.
She hired maids to work at Harry's home to be sure he was doing fine.
Harry gets mad each time he sees a new maid in his house. And as a result he gives them tough and hard time until they quit.
They never lasted four days in Harry's home before giving up. And that didn't stop Isobel from hiring workers. She's still on the look out for someone who can work for her in Harry's home and help her convince him that James death wasn't her intention.
Harry sits by the Sea whenever he is less busy from work. He is a model. One of the best in USA and he is working on running his own Modeling Agency.
He forgets his pains and grudge whenever he's by the Sea Side.

MERWORLD
EPHYRA'S ROOM
"Can we do something else please?" Calista said
She was laying down on Ephyra's bed.
Chantae and Calliope helped Ephyra to comb her hair.
"What else do you have on mind?"
Chantae asked
"Yes kindly tell us what to do Miss Lazy" Calliope teased
"Who is Miss Lazy?" Calista frowned at her
"You -" Calliope said
Calista sits up on the bed and cut off her intended statement
"Calliope you know -"
"That's enough" Ephyra silenced them
"You girls can't do without Fighting" she said again
"Ephyra be honest who is always causing trouble?" Calista asked
"Let's not talk about that -"
Calliope sticks out her tongue at Calista
"Just tell us what you want us to do" Ephyra said
"Are you asking me when the answer is right here"
The girls exchanged confused looks
"Go straight to the point Calista"
Ephyra said
"Yes and stop beating around the Sea" Chantae added
"Well..I'm simply saying that..you should use your powers to entertain us" Calista replied
"Come On Calista!" Chantae coaxed
"Calista I can't do that - my father already bounded me from using my powers in the Palace" Ephyra said soberly
"As if she doesn't know" Calliope said
"Maybe you should remind me" Calista glared at her
"Well in case you've forgotten,the last time you encouraged her to use her powers,there was darkness in the palace for a whole day" Chantae reminded
"it wasn't my fault. Ephyra used the wrong spell" Calista defended herself
"And who gave her the Spell?"
Chantae asked
"Calista" Calliope replied
"And Sir Kenan Said she shouldn't use the power anyhow..like entertaining people but to help" Chantae said
"Fine...let's change the topic" Calista said
"Girls do you know what I feel like doing right now?"
"What?" They said in unison
Ephyra gestured to Calista to move closer
"Swimming up to see the Humans"
She whispered
"Humans?!" They gasped in shock
"Keep it down"
She eyed them
And they each placed their palms on their mouths.
Ephyra swims up to Sea,Rivers and Freshwater lakes. She swims up and sometimes uses her powers to reach the other world just to see how humans have fun by the beach. During a concert by the Beach,sitting on a rock and watching a group of girls entertaining Humans with music. She fell in love with the scene and thought of becoming Human.

HUMAN WORLD
HARRY'S BEACH HOUSE
Harry heard the doorbell from the kitchen.
"Who could it be?" He asked himself
He looked down at the watch on his wrist. 10:00pm
Harry switched off the Tap and moved out of the Kitchen. He motioned towards the Intercom and checked to see who was at the door.
"What is she doing out there?"
He muttered
It was Eleanor White!
His Childhood Friend
Eleanor White is the daughter of the most Influential business man in USA. Bert White
Eleanor is an International Model. One of the best female models in USA. She has been in love with Harry since she knew what love means.
She was there at home to make plans for his 26th Birthday and give feedback to Isobel. Harry punched in his passwords and the door opened.
"Hi" she greeted cheerfully
"Hello" He replied
She hugged him
"Did mom send you here?" He asked
She pulled back to look at him
"No" she lied
He walked back to the couch
She stepped in and closed the door.
"Didn't you check the time?"
He picked up his phone on the table
"Yes I know the time is 10:00pm. And I came on my own after my shoots"
"You're lying Eleanor" he said
She moved to the couch he sat on.
"There was traffic on the highway..that was why I arrived late"
She rests her head on his chest
"Did you run away from your mom again?"
He asked when he noticed the box she brought in
Eleanor was fond of running away from her mom..sometimes to stay in Harry's family home or at her Friends place just to go to club during high school days.
"No"
"So what's in the box?"
"My clothes and -"
"Are you travelling?"
"No..I'm here to stay with you..to spend sometime with you. Mom and dad are too busy at work and I'm always alone at home if there are no shoots for me at the agency. So I figured -"
"Eleanor -" he called
She raised her head to look at him. He shifted and repositioned himself to look straight at her.
"Also Harry,I don't want you to be alone"
"Eleanor you have to stop caring about me"
"Harry I can't - I want to be with you"
"Well you know how much I like being alone.. My privacy"
"You need to come out of that shell? Do you want to be like this Forever?"
He stood up
"Eleanor I'm not in for an argument this night. And you can spend the night and leave tomorrow. Tell that old lady not to hire any worker or else I will call the cops on whoever she hires. Good night"
He walked away
"Are you leaving me out here Harry?"
He said in a sad tone
She followed him
"Harry!" She called but he didn't respond
He slammed the bedroom door
And she stopped
"Son of a bitch.." She muttered
"I'm not going to leave!"
She said before walking back to the living room angrily.

A WISH Episode 2 Theme: SuperHealing MERWORLD Ephyra's Room "How long have you been swimming up?" Ephyra counted her fingers "Since I was 12" "12 years old?" They chorused "How did you manage to swim up that fast without being caught by the Guardians" Calista asked "Well I don't pass through the Sea Seal. I swim like I'm enjoying the feeling of the water on my skin and then I cast a spell when no one Is watching me..Then Puff! Off I go to the Human World!" They gasped "Do you remember when I went missing for two days?" "Yes" they replied "Well I was up there -" "What?!" They raised their brows "But you said a Nixie (Water Spirit) attacked you on your way back from Maeve home" Chantae said "No that was a lie...My Father would have grounded me for Life if I had told him I was in the other world" "So what were you doing in that World?" Calista asked Ephyra shrugged "I was watching Humans. That day..there was a celebration going on by the Sea -" she paused Trying to remember what she heard while she used her hearing ability. "What celebration?" Calista asked anxiously "Uhmm.. Con -" she stopped "Try to remember" Calliope pestered She closed her eyes "Con - Cert..Yes!" She reopened them "Concert!" Their foreheads creased automatically. "Con..cierti" Chantae repeated wrongly Ephyra laughed "Concert" She corrected "What Con - Cier - ti?" Calista asked Ephyra rolled her eyes "Concert" "Anyways Tell us about it" Calliope said "I saw some group of girls singing and every human swaying their bodies in a good way" She paused "Like Dancing?" Chantae asked "And merrying?" Calliope asked "Yes" Ephyra answered "The concert is just like the Music Festival we do here" she added "Okay" they chorused "So I guess you know much about that strange world" Chantae said "No I'm still getting to know it" "Do you see handsome Women like the ones here?" Calista asked Ephyra rolled her eyes again "Calista it is Handsome Men and Beautiful women and not the other way around " She corrected "Do you like that world?" Chantae asked "Yes..Human Men are handsome and classy and better than Mermen" "Really?" "Yes..but sometimes they say things I can't.. understand.. Uhmm but with the help of my Superpowers I can translate anything they say" "Wow! When next will you swim to the human world? I want to go!" Calista said "Me too!" Calliope exclaimed "I'm not interested. I don't want to see those scary humans" Chantae said "Don't mind her Ephyra.. I'm in!" Calista exclaimed "Likewise" Calliope added "You girls can't go with me" Ephyra said And their smiles dropped She didn't want them to go with her to the Human world. The temporary spell to appear in the Human world was meant for only her. And taking the girls along will raise suspicion from the Guardians. The Sea Guardian would catch and take them to the King. "Why?" They asked in unison "Firstly, you will lose your hair" She lied Their eyes widened in shock "Secondly,you girls don't have my powers. And my father will punish us if he finds out" They nodded in agreement "Do you want to lose your hair and also get punished?" "No" they chorused "My hair is my beauty" Calista said "I can't take the whips from the Sea Warrior" Calliope said fearfully Ephyra smiled She had managed to scare them "Perhaps do you become Human in that world?" Chantae asked "No..I haven't found the spell" "So we can't see the Human world" calliope said with a sad face Ephyra nodded. ROYAL DINNING ROOM Everyone was present at the Royal dinning room except Ephyra. They sat at the long table laden with seafoods. Aalton and Cas reserved seats for Ephyra respectively. But Ephyra had forgotten the Royal Dinner was to take place tonight. And it won't begin until everyone was present and seated. "Why is she late again?" Tethys asked "I hope she is not missing again" she panicked "My Queen calm down, Ephyra is in the palace" Oceanus said "Are you sure?" She asked And he gave a hard nod Cas cleared his throat "I will get Princess Ephyra" he stood up and bowed "I will bring her -" Aalton stood up too They were About leaving but Morrissey stopped them "Sit down Princes. I will fetch my baby sister myself. And please both of you shouldn't cause trouble tonight" Morrissey stood up And the princes settled back in their chairs. They are both in love with Ephyra. And both of them are trying to impress and win her heart. But, Ephyra doesn't love them. She is not interested in any of the princes. IN EPHYRA'S ROOM They heard the Royal bell. "Ephyra... Royal Dinner!" Calista screamed "Royal Dinner! I totally forgot about it!" She stood up quickly from the dressing chair. "Oh my Sea! Mother would be worried and Morrissey is definitely on his way to fetch me" She rushed to her closet to change her upper side. Chantae helped her to polish her tail as she changes. She heard Morrissey heartbeat. He was close. He knocked "Ephyra are you in there?" "Calliope, tell the prince I left for the Royal Dinning Room" She said shakily Calliope motioned towards the door and before she could bow to him or say anything, Morrissey stepped in. Ephyra was out of the room. She left through the hidden door in her closet connecting to the Royal Hallway. "Where is she?" He asked looking at the three girls. They bowed "My prince didn't you see her on your way down here?" Chantae asked "No" he replied with a frown "Princess Ephyra should be at the Royal Dinning Room now" Calliope added They exchanged glances And they bowed to Morrissey again "My Prince we were about leaving before you came in -" Calista said "You can go home" He said "Thank you My Prince" They chorused before exiting the room. They all sighed in relief. Thankful that the tough Prince didn't scold them for Ephyra's lateness. Morrissey made his way back to he Royal Dinning Room. Ephyra slipped into the large room. She bowed and greeted everyone. Cas outsmarted Aalton. He went to Ephyra and dragged her to the chair beside him which was next to Fairfax. She almost tripped off when he dragged her to the chair but Fairfax held the chair with his strength and positioned it properly. He looked at her angrily and scratched a part of her tail aggressively. And she yelp in pain. Tears sting her eyes She bit her lower lip to blink back tears that threatened to spill at any moment. Tethys came to her "Are you okay Almeta?" Tethys asked Almeta means "Pearl" she was named Almeta by her mother when she was born. Ephyra cried Almeta. She produces "Five Pearls" at each drop of tears. As a result, Ephyra always try not to cry..just to avoiding Pearls. Tethys looked down at her tail,a part of it was opened. Fairfax nails had cut deep into her flesh. "Who did this to you?" She tries to touch it but Ephyra slapped her hand away "It hurts Mother" Morrissey came in Fairfax grinned wickedly "Fairfax -" Oceanus called He looked up at his father "Why did you hurt your sister?" He gritted "It wasn't intentional" he replied with a smirk on his face. "Father just let him be" Ephyra said "Hold on Almeta...let me heal you" Her mother said "Careful Mother" Azizi said "Will it hurt Mother?" Ephyra asked Tethys didn't respond Ephyra watched her Mother in silence as her hand began to glow brightly, power sparking in her palms. White sparks shot out of her fingertips into the flesh. She felt the shock wave of power. They all felt it radiating out of Ephyra's body. The air around them shimmered unrealized force. Ephyra tail glowed and a bit of the flesh moved. Tears streamed down her cheeks. Almeta dropping to the ground. Azizi was by her side. He grazed her cheeks with his fingers. The flesh closed up and her tail was back to normal. Tethys hit Fairfax on his head angrily. "Oh! Mother!" He yelped in pain touching the back of his head. "Be careful!" She glared at him Azizi and Tethys went back to their chairs when Ephyra calmed. "I think you should be more careful Prince Cas" Aalton Said with an half smile. Cas clenched his fists under the table. Everything would have been fine if Fairfax hadn't scratch Ephyra's fragile tail. Fairfax was not in good terms with Ephyra. He didn't like her..like the rest of the Princes. He used to be the one receiving all attention. Everything changed at Ephyra's arrival. They focused on her. He was jealous of the fact that she was the special mermaid. Fairfax was the Special Prince and he enjoyed the care and love they showered on him while he was growing up. Everything was different now! Because of Ephyra! And he was never friends with her. Samudra cleared his throat "Ephyra are you prepared for your special day?" "Yes Samudra" she replied "My daughter - in - Law will be 18 soon. A day to make a Wish. And be ready for Marriage" Bhupendra said. The wine in Ephyra's mouth sputtered out and thankfully she turned down to her tail when that happened. She spilled it on her tail. Her eyes widened showing her surprise. Cas grabbed a cleaner on the table to wipe the liquid on Ephyra's tail. Aalton controlled his anger by tightening his fists. He saw that Cas was happy with his father's word. Cas was ahead of him! And he hated it. "Daughter -In - Law?!" She repeated "Yes Almeta. Three days after your birthday you have to choose between Prince Cas and Aalton as your husband" Her father said "No Father!" She screamed Ephyra stood up from her chair "And Never!" She exited the room Everyone was surprised by her sudden outburst towards her father. "Excuse me -" Azizi said And he followed Ephyra Azizi is Ephyra's favorite brother. She likes the 14th Prince more than any of the princes. He is gentle,cool and Kind. She swims fast to her room. Azizi knocked on her bedroom door. She didn't respond "Ephyra I know you are in there..can I come in?" "Come in Azizi" He opened the door and popped his head in first. "Are you okay?" She sat on her bed. Her head down with her gaze fixed in her tail. "I'm fine Aziz" she said shakily. Ephyra blinked back tears. He went to her. "I don't want to get married. And -" Her Voice trailed He sat close to her. "Please don't cry" he hugged her "Azizi I don't love Cas or Aalton" "I know Almeta" She held him tightly "What do I do?" She asked He pulled back slowly to look at her. "Do you love someone else? A Nobel Merman in our kingdom" No! But Ephyra heard herself say. "Yes" she lied She doesn't love any Nobel Merman! Ephyra was in love with the Human world. She watched them for years! How they played by the Sea, How Human Men cuddled their women - It made her heart beat and her belly flutter. She wanted something like that - but she couldn't tell Azizi about her love for that world. "Azizi talk to Father" "Ephyra you know Father won't take No from you" "Are you saying I have to marry one of them?" "Yes..three days after your birthday,you have to choose and then -" "But Fairfax didn't get married at 18" "You're right" Azizi said He removes strands of hair from her face. "And my friends are not married. Even though they are one year older...Azizi it doesn't make any sense" "It does..every Special mermaid must get married at 18" "No I'm not getting married" "That will cause war between the kingdoms" "But why didn't mother tell me about this before now?" "You should know.. Ephyra the same thing happened us" "I don't want the same thing" She countered Azizi sighed "I will try to talk to Father...if there is another way out" It was never a custom that every special mermaid should marry at 18. History only had it that those Mermaids married at 18. And the last special mermaid chose her husband three days after her 18th birthday. "Thank You Azizi" "Anything for you Almeta" He kissed her forehead A soft knock sounded on the door. "It's Cas" Ephyra said Azizi stared at her "Tell him I want to be alone" Azizi stood up and went to the door. He opened it slightly and Cas was there. "Ephyra want to be alone" He said to Cas "Okay just let her know I came around. And I will come tomorrow morning to check on her" "There is no need to do that either -" Azizi replied Cas eyes glowed signifying his anger. "Why?" He asked Azizi moved out of the room and closed the door. He was ready to fight Cas if he has to. Azizi folded his arms. "I'm sure she wants to see Aalton -" he said Aalton who was behind. He joined them Azizi pointed fingers to them "She doesn't want to see the both of you" He said "Okay" Aalton leaves quietly "Well tell Ephyra... It either me or no one else" He gritted Azizi leaned in "Listen to me you won't win Ephyra heart with this attitude. Stop being prideful Cas" "It none of your business. Ephyra is Mine" He swims away. "All clear Almeta" "Thank You Azizi" She said into his mind Oceanus scolds Fairfax at the table for hurting Ephyra. He blamed Fairfax for ruining the dinner. And Bhupendra announced Nakendra marriage to Fairfax. He was annoyed Fairfax left the room Nakendra followed him "My Prince wait up" She said He didn't stop "Fairfax you know -" He stopped and turned to face her "Who told you to come after me?!" He yelled Nakendra was scared A tear slid down her cheeks "What have I done?..Fairfax if you don't want to marry me then tell my father. So he can find a brave prince to marry me. It is only coward merman Prince that runs away from Marriage" She was about leaving but Fairfax grabbed her wrist and pulled her to himself. He felt remorseful for yelling at Nakendra. It wasn't her fault that his father scolded him for hurting Ephyra or that he was balmed for ruining the dinner. He loves Nakendra and it hurts him to watch her cry. "I'm sorry Nakendra" It was his fault! He admitted. He shouldn't be jealous of his sister cause she was loved by all and receiving all the care. Fairfax had taken out his anger on Nakendra. And that was wrong! "Don't think of marrying another prince" He whispered "But you don't want me -" "No..I want you Nakendra. I will marry you" She came out of his embrace to look at him. A smile displayed on his lips "Are you sure Fairfax?" "Yes Nakendra" "Do...do you love me?" She pouted He wipes the tears with his fingertips "Yes" Her face brightened And she hugged him "I love you Nakendra" "Then let's get married" she said "Are you in love with another Prince?" He asked Jealousy in his tone "No Fairfax!" She coaxed He held her tightly "I love You.. Only you" She said "Then let's get married" He placed a kiss on her forehead * * * Who wants to get married on this page?..any Fan?

She said happily Isobel was preparing for her friend's birthday Party. "Tell Eleanor I will be out soon" "Okay" Eleanor replied She added blush to her cheeks. Then she turned away from the Mirror and moved out of her room. She hoped to hear good news from Eleanor concerning Harry's Birthday Plans" "Eleanor?" She called She turned to face Isobel And she gasped in shock "Oh my God Eleanor! What is wrong with you?" Eleanor's face was swollen from tears. She had cried all the way down to Isobel's home.

Isobel went to her and pulled her to sit on the couch. "Harry doesn't loves me" "No Eleanor... You're wrong. Harry loves you" "No he doesn't -" "Did Harry tell that -" "No he didn't" Isobel shot her a confused look "So what Eleanor? Harry didn't tell you that he doesn't love you. You just jump into conclusion" She held Eleanor's hands in hers "I know it hard to tell his feelings...but as his mother i can tell you that Harry loves You" "I don't think so -" "Tell me the reason Eleanor" "Last night Harry said I should stop caring about him. He told me to spend the night and leave this morning" "Did you sleep in his bedroom" "No he left me in the living room. And he avoided me this morning. Mrs Isobel I tried getting him to talk to me but he insulted me" "He insulted you?" "Yes..he said my cheeks are too big and they make me ugly. And he also said that I wasn't good enough for him" "What?! Harry said that to you?" "Yes..I went straight to the room and packed my box to leave. He didn't try to stop me. Instead he said Goodbye" She sobbed "Unbelievable" "Harry doesn't love me" Eleanor had spent five minutes in the car crying because of Harry's words to her. It pained her that Harry doesn't feel the same way she feels for him. She loves him. But,it was so obvious that Harry doesn't love her. He doesn't care! He's only concerned about himself. "Hold on..Eleanor" Isobel picked her phone on the table. She dialed his number but he didn't pick up. Anger crashed over her "He is not picking up" she said "I think i have to leave now. I'm running late. I have to shoot a commercial by 11:00" "Eleanor, I apologize on his behalf. I will go and see him now. I promise you that Harry will call and apologize to you" "Okay" She stood up "Let me walk you to the door" "Thank You" Eleanor said to her. HARRY BEACH HOUSE Harry moved to the intercom when he heard the doorbell "What is she doing here?" He muttered It was Isobel! He went back to the couch to grab his cellphone. Her call came in almost immediately and he picked it. "Harry! I know you are in there! Open the door" She said in annoyance. He walked back to the intercom "Old lady you can't tell me what to do. Say whatever it is you here for on phone..I'm listening" "What?!..Harry open up!" She hit the door "I won't let you in my house to complain and nag and yell at me. I'm too tired for all that -" "Harry do you realize I am your mother and you clearly know what I am capable of doing - don't be rude to me!" "Old lady I know what you are capable of doing to me. Since it was easy for you to send your husband to his early grave then it won't be a problem doing the same to me. But I won't allow it" He gritted He saw the anger and pain in her expression. He knew that he had touched her with his words. And he couldn't keep her waiting outside. Second clicked by and Harry punched in his password and the door opened. "How dare you treat me like this?!" She slapped him across his face. Harry gasped in surprised "Irrespective of what happened I am still your mother. And you should respect me!" She gritted He moved to the couch and settled on it. "Old Lady Say what you have to say and leave" He focused on his phone "Why did you say such horrible words to Eleanor?" Isobel was used to Harry's unusual and rude attitude towards her since his father's death. She could hardly believe Harry could turn against her and disregard her like she had never done any good to him. Isobel had tried all her best to renew the bond they once shared..the closeness and all. And she tried to make him see that James death was not her intention. She craved for his attention, but Harry's mind was made up. He was finding it hard to forgive her. And nothing she did for him was good in his eyes. Isobel got no response to her question. "I believe I am talking to someone" He didn't respond She went to him and snatched his phone. He didn't expect it. "Let me have my phone" "I will give it back after our discussion" "What were you saying?" He asked "I was talking about Eleanor" "What's up with her?" "She told me everything you said to her. Listen to me boy,whether you like it or not you are getting married to Eleanor" "What?!" "Yes and it either Eleanor or no one else" Isobel realized that the only way to make him come to his senses was by pestering him to start a family. She knew he didn't like that idea. And she didn't care if it seemed like she was controlling him or trying to force him into marriage. "You can't come in here and tell me what to do?" "But I can make you do what I want" "No you can't control me. I don't love Eleanor. So you expect to get Married to someone I don't love?" "Well you will grow to love her...start growing your feelings for Eleanor" "Never I won't force myself to love any woman" "Are you seeing someone Harry?" "Yes" he lied "I have a girlfriend and she is the one I want to marry" "Who is she?' " it none of your business old lady" "Fine..tell your girlfriend to not get her hopes high because I won't accept her. And if I find out who she is..I will make sure this town turn into a living hell for her" She threatened Harry laughed "Don't even think about it..I don't plan to introduce her to you" "I will find her" "Old lady do you realize that I am not a kid anymore. I am 26 and I have every right to make decision..my own decisions. And why won't you just let me be?" "I will stay out of your decisions the moment you start making ones that are reasonable. And decisions that will make me happy" "This is my life -" "I want you to call Eleanor right now and apologize to her" She said giving his phone back to him "Why should I do that?" "You did the wrong thing by saying those bad words to her. Eleanor is more than good enough for you" "Look stop getting her hopes high. I will make it clear to her that I am not interested in her and I don't love her" She snatched the phone from him again. "What do you think you are doing?" "I want to call Eleanor and tell her the truth" She hissed Isobel copied Eleanor's number from her phone to Harry's and she dialed it. He saved her number as "UglyBigCheeks" And Isobel changed it to "My Heart" Eleanor picked on the second ring. "Hi Eleanor" "What are you doing?" He asked his mom "What does it look like I'm doing" she replied "Eleanor,Harry wants to talk to you" she handed him the phone. He hesitated. Then Isobel pushed the device into his hand. "Hello" he said "Hi" "How are you doing?" "I'm fine" she replied coldly "Hey you don't have to sound like that -" he said She didn't reply "Fine..I'm sorry" he apologized "For what?" "For..for..everything I said to you this morning" "I'm mad at you for calling me ugly big cheeks" "Come on! I..I was joking" "But you said it with a serious face" "I'm sorry" A smile formed on her face she was happy "What..what about the part you said..i am not good enough for you" "Uhmm..that too..you are good..I mean Eleanor is a good woman. Let's hang out some other time" he rushed out his last words "When?" She asked with excitement in her tone "Maybe tomorrow or whenever you are less busy" "Okay..I will make out time for us" "Bye" he hang up "Good" Isobel said to him "Are you happy now?" He asked "Yes" she said with a half smile "Your birthday is in two days time" "Yeah..old lady everything is fine now..please leave I need to rest. I will be very busy tomorrow" "What about your plans with Eleanor?" "I'll try to make it up to her. And please don't come around in two days time or even think of throwing a party for me because I won't show up for it" "Well let's wait till then" "And don't hire any maid...I am capable of taking care of things around here" "If I get a good maid that can withstand your troubles then you have no choice. See you in two days time" She picked her bag and walked out of the house. MERWORLD THRONE HALL Oceanus sat on his throne. He was holding a meeting with his 28 Royal officials "both Mermaids and Mermen". The meeting was held to discuss issues about the kingdom and Ephyra's birthday preparation. "you are all aware that the Princess birthday is in two weeks time" Oceanus said "Yes My Lord" they chorused "I want to celebrate it in a grand style. My friends Bhupendra and Samudra are currently in the palace. And in some days time,friends aligned with Merillia kingdom in other seas will come around to celebrate with us. Yareh(waterlady) please prepare a comfortable place for our guests. Dania (in charge of all Sea Maiden) work with Yareh" "Yes My Lord" "My Lord which of the building should we prepare for our guests?" Yareh asked "Kaimana (power of the Sea) Building" Oceanus replied Kaimana is an enormous building close to the palace. It is used to accommodate guests,visitors,Royal and Nobel Travellers from other Seas. They pay homage to the king before given the chance to lodge into one of the rooms. "Okay My Lord" Yareh bowed "Kenan and Wanwisa appease to the Sea for that day to be favourable for us" "Yes My lord" they chorused "Maeve prepare your musical bands also" "We are fully prepared My Lord" she bowed "I think this is all for today. I will messages to you all if the need arises" Oceanus said "Long Live the King!" They said in unison with their heads bowed. Oceanus stood up from his throne and exited the room Then they raised their heads. NEN STREET "We Have a lot to do for the Princess Birthday" Sirena said "No we don't my Lady" Kenan replied "What do you mean?" Wanwisa asked "We have to appease the Sea to avoid disturbance from Humans and Sea Demons. You know how many days that will take us? And you are saying we don't have much to do" Sirena said "And again it the Princess Birthday we have to do well" Wanwisa added "Well it seems you have all forgotten who the person in question is..." Kenan said "What do you mean?" Wanwisa asked "Princess Ephyra is a Special Mermaid. She has extra connection with the Sea even more than any of us" Kenan answered They nodded in agreement "It still doesn't matter..let's do what the King orders us to do" Wanwisa replied "Come on! I am not saying we should go against the King's orders" Kenan said The women sighed "I have been practicing my music and dance with my crew for weeks now and we are still on it" Maeve said "I have to go around the kingdom chanting the protection spell and declaring happiness in the next 7 days" Sirena (the enchantress) said "Ephyra is capable of bringing happiness to us" Kenan said "Yes that makes her the lucky mermaid" Wanwisa (goddess of Sea) responded "The special mermaid who connects with the Sea with spell sing I don't understand" Maeve said "You don't understand it?" "Yes..sometimes I can't interpret it" Maeve replied sincerely "And I wonder what the princess wish will be" Kenan said "I am really anxious to know" Sirena said "I can't wait for that Day" Wanwisa added. ** ** ** Thanks for Reading!

My Fairytale A WISH Episode 4 Theme: Hidden Plan HUMAN WORLD HARRY'S BEACH HOUSE "Ding! Ding!Ding!!!" The shrieking sound of the alarm woke Harry up from his deep sleep. His hand reached over to the snooze button pressing it down to stop the noise. He rolled on his side and hopped out of bed. He slipped on his soft rabbit like slippers and headed to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth lazily. Harry rinsed his mouth after brushing his teeth. The doorbell rang and he gave a sigh. He moved out of his room to the living room. Harry strode towards the door. He saw his mom,Eleanor and her mom on the porch. "What are they up to this time?" He was surprised to see Eleanor's mom. Then it struck him immediately.. His birthday! Today was his birthday! He went to the window and pulled at the curtains to check the view of the Sea. Then he gasped in Shock. It was full of people and paparazzi. He uttered a profanity at the sight. He had warned her sternly not to throw a party but she didn't listen. He unplugged his phone to call Isobel. 15 missed calls and messages from Eleanor and Friends. He went back to the device. Eleanor was dressed in a crimson knee length gown. She had put more effort on her makeup to impress him. He dialed Isobel's number. "Happy -" He cuts off her intended statement "What's going on out there?" "Happy Birthday Son!" she completed happily "Tell everyone to leave or else I will call the police" "Police? For what? It your day and everyone is here to celebrate with you. Don't let us ruin today with Argument. Look Mrs Precious White is out here with me" "Listen to me..I don't need anyone to celebrate with me. You can't party outside my home and I am not letting anyone into my house" "Come one Harry Everyone is waiting for you" "I thought I told you not to organize any party today. Mrs Isobel Jones take your guests somewhere else.. Provably to your mansion surely it big enough to accommodate them" "You can't do this Harry" she said in a low tone "I'm serious" "Okay..but at least open up and say hi to Eleanor and her Mrs Precious" He was silent He watched her place a finger on her lips to Silence Eleanor who was trying to listen to the conversation with her ear pressed closely to the phone. "Please Harry..just this once" She pleaded "Okay" he said Her face brightened He had no idea why he agreed "Let me change up" "Thank you Son" she hang up He realised it He didn't want the people outside to humiliate his mother. He walked back to the bathroom to take a shower. "What did he say?" Eleanor asked "He will join us soon" Isobel replied Eleanor clapped her hands excitedly "Let's join and welcome the guests for now" Mrs Precious Said And they walked back to the party. MERWORLD EPHYRA'S BEDROOM "Happy..Happy..Happy Birthday to our Princess!" The triplets sang melodiously. Ephyra giggled when they ended the song. "Happy Birthday Princess Ephyra" they chorused and bowed to her. She couldn't hide her happiness "Thank you Friends" she clapped excitedly and hugged them. Chantae pulled her gently to the dressing chair. "Let's get you ready for the celebration" Chantae said "I will polish your tail" Calliope said with a huge smile on her lips. "I am in charge of your accessories" Calista said "And I will make you hair" Chantae added "Now I'm feeling like a real princess" Ephyra said "You're a real Princess" Chantae replied And they rolled into laughter "Yeah I know" she said "I'm so happy!" Calista screamed "Wait a minute..did you girls feel anything? I mean when you turned 18,did you feel different in anyway?" Ephyra asked "I didn't feel different" Calista responded "No" Calliope replied "To be honest,it was like 16 or 17..couldn't feel any difference" Chantae answered with a shrug Calliope grabbed a soft brush to polish Ephyra's tail. Chantae undid her braid and put a comb through her hair to straight it. "I wondered what your wish would be overnight" Chantae said "Yes.. Since you have everything" calliope added "I don't have everything" Ephyra replied Chantae put her hair up,pulling and twisted it back in a sharp bun,holding it with a lot of bands and pins. "Lemme guess -" Chantae pulled back to display. She cleared her throat and began to say "I am Princess Ephyra" she mimicked Ephyra And they giggled "That really sounded like me Chantae" Ephyra said Chantae continued "And this is my wish" she paused and drew in a deep breathe "Oh Great Sea grant my wish today!" She chanted three times "My wish is to marry Prince Aalton!" She finished "What?!" Ephyra gasped with a deep frown on her face. "Chantae why are you like this? You clearly know that Ephyra doesn't love any of the Princes" Calliope said "Yes I know and I was only pulling at her tail. I was joking, Forgive me My Princess" she apologized with a bow "Apology accepted Friend" Ephyra replied with a half smile. Calista mixed colors and moved to Ephyra's face. "Time for make up My Princess" "Why don't you like Any of the princes?" Calliope asked "Nothing Calliope... I just don't feel anything.. Like I'm in love" she replied "Prince Aalton is nice and kind" Calliope said "Yes I know..but I don't love them" "But the king wants you to pick one of them" calliope said soberly "Yes" "So who will you choose?" Ephyra gave a loud sigh "Calliope I know you love Aalton. Calista I know you love Cas. And lastly Chantae I know you are in love with Fairfax" They each gasped in Shock and surprise "How do you know that?" Calista asked "How did you find out I'm in love with Prince Fairfax?" Chantae asked too "You girls can't hide anything from me. Oh! It seems you don't know I can read through your minds" "Really?!" "Is that part of your powers as the special mermaid?" Calista asked "I supposed so. But if you don't believe me then say something in your mind and I will tell you" Ephyra said "Me!" Calliope raised her hand "Okay.. Say something to yourself" Ephyra closed her eyes "I wish to be A princess" Calliope said to herself. "I wish to be a princess" Ephyra said to her Her eyes widened "Oh My Sea! I said that to myself!" She exclaimed "I believe you" Calista said "I really don't want to get married" Ephyra said with a sad face after a long momentary pause. "Talk to the King about it" Calista said "Azizi promised to talk to him" "My Princess please don't tell the King about our love for the princes" Calliope pleaded "Yes..you know Prince Fairfax is now engaged to Princess Nakendra" Chantae said "Well I don't know if Fairfax loves Nakendra" Ephyra answered with a shrug "He loves her...did you not see the way he smiled at her at the bonding ceremony" Calista said A soft knock sounded on the door "It Azizi" Ephyra said Chantae went to the door "Is she is ready?" He asked "Yes My Prince" She bowed "Can I come in?" "Yes My Prince" she opened the door wide for him to swim in. "Morning Girls!" He greeted with a bright smile "Morning Prince Azizi" They chorused Calista and calliope bowed to him "Happy Birthday Princess" He kissed her cheeks "Thank you Azizi" The girls were almost leaving but Azizi stopped them "You can Stay,I have something for you all" Their faces brightened "What is it? What do you have for all of us Brother?" Ephyra asked "Can I invite someone in my princess?" "Yes Brother" He whistled and a Merman swims In with a treasure box in his hands "Thank You Ekait(storm)" Azizi said before the merman exited the room. He set down the box and ordered the girls to sit on the Sea - Moss bed. "I,Prince Azizi,the Precious Treasure. I bring to you Great Treasures of Merillia Kingdom!" He bowed And the girls giggled happily. He brought out a Diamond Necklace. "This is for you Mermaid Calista" "Wow! Thank You Prince Azizi!" He brought out a Diamond Ring and gave it to Chantae. "Thank You Prince Azizi!" She said happily "And for you Mermaid Calliope" He gave her a shiny Pearl "You attached it to your tail. It not going to hurt cause it Magical.. Just say where you want it to be" He said "On my Abdomen" she replied Excitement in her tone "I want it on my abdomen" And then the Star pearl glowed brightly and it got attached to her abdomen. "Wow!" They gasped "It Magical!" "Thank You Prince Azizi!" "I should be the one thanking you girls for taking care of Ephyra" "It a pleasure Prince Azizi" they bowed He closed the box "What about me?" Ephyra asked "Nothing for the Birthday girl" he replied with a smirk She frowned at him "That's unfair" she pouted Azizi chuckled "Close your eyes" he said Ephyra raised her brows "Do as I say..my gift is going to blow your mind" "I can't wait -" she closed her eyes He reopened the box "Open your eyes Princess" They gasped in shock when he brought out her gift "Wow!" She screamed It was a bracelet! Ephyra had pestered Azizi to let her have the bracelet for years now but he declined saying that it wasn't the right time for her to have such powerful bracelet in her possession. She liked it because it had the color to the Sea. An Aquamarine Neifion Bracelet. The same color of Ephyra's eyes. She rushed towards him and hugged him tightly. "Thank You Azizi" it was the best gift she received on her birthday. "You made my day Azizi" "Anything for you sister. Do you like it that Much?" "Yes Azizi! Thank You!" She kissed his cheeks and pulled back. Ephyra wore the bracelet on her right wrist and it glowed brightly. It automatically attached to her wrist. The light went off. "I love it Azizi!" Then she tried to remove it,to save it in her treasure box but it didn't come off. "What's going on?" She asked Azizi leaned in to help her but suddenly Ephyra eyes glowed and the bracelet did the same. Azizi staggered backward. "Ephyra your eyes.." Calista pointed They were all surprised "What is this bracelet?" Ephyra asked It stopped glowing when she stopped trying to get it out of her wrist. And her eyes was normal too. "The 5,000 years old bracelet had found it rightful owner" The bracelet belonged to a Watergod named Neifion. "But why did her eyes glowed?" Chantae asked "I don't know why it happened like that -" Azizi replied honestly "Maybe because...it the same color of my eyes" Ephyra said She waved it off "Azizi did you talk to father?" "Yes" "What did he say?" "I'm sorry Almeta.. Father didn't change his mind. He said you have to choose between Prince Cas and Aalton in three days time" Her smile dropped "No..no.. I can't -" she muttered unsteadily "please don't cry today Almeta" Azizi begged her "I'm sorry..I have to go now" He said "Thank You Azizi" she said "What are you going to do?" Chantae asked "I have to push through with my plans" she answered The girls exchanged glances "What plans?" She looked up at them "Never mind" she added She didn't want to tell them about it. "That's the only way to stop my marriage to any of the princes. I will be free if I work according to plans. I won't get married to Cas or Aalton. And nothing is going to stop me" Ephyra thought deeply ** ** ** Hello Fans! Thanks for Reading! And I believe we can do better than just 300 likes. Or the story is not worth it?

A WISH Episode 6 Theme: Loving My New World HUMAN WORLD Gideon Albert was playing football with some other boys he met on the beach. Minutes clicked by and they all got tired of playing football. Gideon walked back to his Elder brother James Albert. "Game over?" "Yes..let's go home, I'm so tired" Gideon Said James stood up and packed their stuffs into a picnic Bag. They walked back to the Car. And then Gideon felt like he needed to ease himself. "Hey Bro i want to pee" James rolled his eyes and pointed towards a direction. "Okay" Gideon raced off And while peeing he noticed something. He suddenly saw a hand but the rest of the body was covered up in a heap of Sand. He screamed and ran as fast as his legs could carry him. Gideon was scared! "Hey What's wrong?" James asked "I..I..I saw a body -" He explained to James James didn't waste much time. He spun on his heel towards the direction. When he got there,he saw a Human Hand. And he wondered who had buried a Human on the beach. And just when he was about stepping backward the fingers twitched. And James exchanged glance with his brother. "The person is alive" Gideon muttered And they started putting the sand away until the found the body. They gasped in Shock And James placed his hands on Gideon's face. They found the body of a beautiful woman in Sand. Her upper side was covered with Strange clothes while her lower side was unclad. "Get the towel" James ordered as he also looked away from the body. Gideon rushed back to the car. He came back seconds later. James closed his eyes as he wrapped the towel around her body. He checked her pulse and he found out she was breathing fine. James lifted her up in his arms. "Who is she?" Gideon asked "I don't know" he answered with a shrug "So what are you going to do with her?" "I'm taking her to our home" "What?! Our home? Why do you want to bring a stronger to our home?!" He asked with a wide eye "To help her regain consciousness" "Why not take her to the hospital?" Gideon opened the car door. James placed her gently in the backseat. He chuckled "Yeah you are right Bro..and I was only joking about taking her to our home" He replied They entered the Car, Then James started the Car and drove down to the Hospital where he works as a Surgeon. ONE WEEKS LATER JACOB HOSPITAL Ephyra opened her eyes slowly observing her surrounding through her blurred vision from waking up. "Where am I?" She turned her head towards the beeping sound of the machine next to the bed. "How did I get here?" She asked herself The door opened And James walked in with a Nurse behind him Ephyra looked up at them Her eyes widened in surprise and shock. He opened his eyes full and her breathe caught! Then She stared intensely at him while a smile played on his lips. Ephyra's eyes did a slow crawl on James. His lips were Full and plump. His hair fell on his eyes. And, He didn't have a tail! But Legs! She gasped as realisation hit her! "I'm in the Human World!" She screamed James exchanged confused looks with the Nurse. Images of her world flashed through her head. And her lower abdomen clenched at the vivid memories and she Shivered. "How are you feeling Now?" James soft voice stunned her out of thought. She looked up at him without saying a word. Ephyra couldn't believe she was really in her dream world. No it was her dreamworld but now she's in it! James moved closer to the bed. "Can you hear me?" He asked "Unbelievable! A Human is talking to me!" She thought James held her wrist to feel her pulse. She was fine "Wow! a Human touched me!" He placed his hand on her forehead "Wait.. do I have a tail?" She wondered "Her temperature is normal and she's fine -" James said the the Nurse And while he was talking to the Nurse, Ephyra peered under the bedcover to see if she has a tail but she saw Legs! Then she screamed "Arggghhhh!" Her heartbeats rapidly James turned to her "Are you okay?" He asked. She nodded impatiently And she looked again to be sure. "I have Legs!" James raised an eyebrow "Well..I..i think you need to rest" "No I'm fine -" she replied And she was surprised that she could talk to A Human and..he responded. "I really do have Legs?" She asked him "Yes you'd have Legs. And you're Human, so you need legs to walk" James explained She relaxed "Oh My Sea! Now I'm Human! I have Legs to walk like a human and I can even talk like..like..like A Human!" She laughed James pushed her gently to rest her back on the bed. And she did "Miss what's your name?" He asked "Name?" She repeated "Yes" And she gave him a hard nod while looking around the room "What's your name?" She asked him "I am Doctor James Albert" he replied "I am...Doctor Jam -" she paused when she couldn't pronounce his name. The Nurse stiffed back a laugh. Ephyra looked at her "What's your name?"she asked "Nurse Jasmine" she replied "Strange" Ephyra muttered But she clapped excitedly "Jasmine can you please excuse us I need to talk to her alone" James said "Okay Doctor James" She exited the room "Can..you..please..remove this?" Ephyra pointed to the plaster at the back of her right palm. She shifted uncomfortably in bed. Ephyra was anxious to see her legs properly and walk like the Nurse. "No it for -" She removed the plaster pulling out the scalp vein in the process. Then she yelped at the sharp pain. "Why did you do that?" James asked She stared at him "Wait here..let me cotton wool" James walked out of the room. "Cotton - Wool" She said And clapped that she pronounced a Human word correctly. Ephyra hopped out of bed. She took the first step,second and third. "Finally! I have Human Legs!" She walked to and Fro..and all around the room. She jumped happily "I am in the Human World!" She looked down at the cloth she had on. It was the hospital gown. "Pretty" Ephyra went to the machine next to the bed and she began to beat it like a drum as she sings along. "I am a Fair mermaid Singing alone In the Human world I would kiss you my Sea For granting my Wish Oh Great -" She was interrupted by the door. James rushed towards her "Stop that -" He pulled her away from the machine "Sit down" he ordered Ephyra shook her head He pushed her towards the bed and say her down forcefully. "What is wrong with you?" He asked Ephyra pouts "You're weird" he muttered Then she covered her face with her palms James chuckled "You're weird" she repeated And she giggled at the sound of her voice. James wiped the blood. He removed the rubber gloves in his hands and dumped them in the bin at the corner of the room. Ephyra stamped her feet. She wanted to leave the room to see other parts of the Human world. "So Miss I was asking -" She ran out of the room to the hallway. There she saw people dressed in the same uniform. "Wow! Humans!" She waved at a baby "Come back Miss!" James said Then she spun on her heels when she heard his voice. He thought if Ephyra need to check into a mental home. She was fast..too fast and soon he lost track of her. He couldn't let her go like that - someone might hurt her. And he wanted to know how she ended up in the Sand on the beach. Ephyra looked at the people on the streets. It was late in the night. "What's your name?"she asked no one in particular. Three high school girls laughed as they pass by Ephyra. Then she realized she was different from them...than most of the people on The street. They were neatly and Nicely dressed like the ones she used to see those times she used to swim up to the beach. "Yes!I am in the Human world!" She screamed "It's so beautiful in here!" The people around stared at her and they whispered into each others ears. Ephyra walked faster,turning around with her head tossed back. "I feel like a Human!" Then she began to sing as she walked. "I would be a Human I would sing to myself the whole day I would comb my hair with the comb of pearl And still as I comb it would sing and say, I would be a Human I would comb my hair till my ringlet could fall, Low a down,low a down -" The song stopped abruptly when she bumped into someone and a phone dropped to the ground... Shattering the screen. Ephyra reopened her eyes quickly. The Man utters a profanity while Ephyra walked away without apologizing or even saying a word to him. She hummed her sing in a low tone The man went to her and grabbed her clothes and pulled her back. "hey miss -" Ephyra jerked free and he stood in front of her. He slowly took in her features. Her long brown hair swept over one shoulder. She had incredible bone structure and skin that was nothing less than luminous. Her full lips,nice nose and eyes with long thick lashes. They were Aquamarine! He noticed she was dressed in hospital gown and she was barefooted - No shoes" Ephyra wanted to leave again but he blocked her pathway "You should apologize miss" He said "A - po - lo - gize?" She repeated "Yes...say sorry" Ephyra raised her eyebrow In the MERWORLD you only say sorry when you did something bad,talk bad about someone.... Etc "For what?" She folded her arms "You don't know?" He showed her his broken phone. "Who are you? And why should I apologize or say sorry -?" "You bumped into me and you ruined my phone" "It was your fault!" She pointed a finger at her "You were busy -" she paused and pointed to his phone But she didn't know what he had called it "Miss! Miss!" Ephyra turned back and saw James "Are you her guardian?" He asked when James was close. And James gave him a nod. "Why did you run out of the hospital like that?" "I...I..wanted to see the Human world" she answered with shrug "Are you okay?" "Yes I am fine" "Excuse me young Man I don't think she's fine. She bumped into me and ruined my phone" James studied him He knew who the Man was. James wondered what a man like him was doing on the street late night. He tried to hide his identity under a disguise but only a true fan of his could tell that he was the Top Most Model in USA. James wasn't a fan of celebrities but Gideon had pestered him to buy him posters of celebrities so he would put them up in this bedroom. So that made James to know some famous celebrities in their country. The man could buy hundreds of phone if he wanted to or even more But James did well by bringing out his wallet to pay him for the broken phone. "I don't need your money young man. You should use it to check her into a mental home and buy her a shoe...or better still just confine her to a mental home for life so she won't go about hurting people" Anger crashed over James at the man's words but he did a good did at hiding it. "Thanks for the advice but you can as well learn how to talk to people properly.t Being a celebrity doesn't give you the chance to be rude to others" James held Ephyra's hand and pulled her behind him. "Who is he?" Ephyra asked "Are you okay?" James asked "Yes" "Did he hit you?" "No" "So why didn't you apologize to him?" "It wasn't my fault!" "You should have said sorry to him" Ephyra clenched her teeth as she looked back at the man. In her world he would have bowed to her as the Princess of Merillia Kingdom. "Where are we going to?" "To the hospital" "Where is the hospital?" "The place you ran -" "No" she jerked free "James held her but she stepped backward" "I don't want to go back" "You need to get better" "No I'm fine" "Then I'll be forced to carry you" "What?!" He crouched down in front of her. "Hop on my back" "What?" Ephyra stepped aside "Come on!" He coaxed "Can't I stay in that thing?" She pointed to the moving taxi "No..not now please.. Let's go" There was no arguing with him so she climbed on his back and he carried her up. "Are you okay?" "Yes" The man watched from where he stood And he figured the doctor knew his identity. Then he thought of Ephyra. "Are they dating?" He asked "No...what responsible man would leave his psycho girlfriend to roam the street at night..with no shoe" He thought He waved it off. It was none of his business. He concluded but he still found himself drawn to the Psycho Lady. ** ** ** Now..I did not ask you to guess the Man oo. another name for Ephyra "Psycho Lady" Hmm Ephyra acting like a bush woman...like Someone from the village that just visited Lagos for the first time Thanks for reading Kindly like and Drop comments!

My Fantasy A WISH Episode 5 Theme: A Wish Come True HUMAN WORLD HARRY'S BEACH HOUSE "Happy Birthday Happy Birthday to you Harry Happy Birthday to you" The people present at Harry's party sang for him. Paparazzi Flashing Pictures. Harry hated the fact that they were here. He didn't want any of the Media Houses to know his place that was why he didn't disclose it on one of his interviews on Tv. But Now, his mom invited them without his consent. "Thank You" he said That was all he could say to them. He saw the prepared place to entertain the guests..somewhere far from his home. He uttered a profanity. Harry looked wonderful as he greeted some familiar faces in the crowd. He was dressed in a casual and comfortable dark fitted jeans and a garnet colored polo shirt that hugged his broad shoulders and sculpted chest. "Excuse me Harry.." Eleanor called his attention He turned to face her. She leaned in. They stood face to face cause Eleanor was on a stiletto high heels. "Happy Birthday Harry" she gave him a paper bag. "Thank -" She kept his words at bay with a kiss on his lips. Harry gasped in shock. Isobel started the clap and others joined in...and paparazzi took pictures. Harry was Annoyed. He didn't respond to the kiss. And just when he tried to pull back,Eleanor slid her hands up the back of his neck, pulling him closer to deepen the kiss. Isobel was glad that Eleanor took the brave step to kiss Harry. Harry never expected it. And he had never dreamt of kissing Eleanor. Now everyone thinks they are dating! It was just An Act! He pulled back from her and stared at her. Anger crashed over him. "Thank you Harry" she said happily The brightest smile found it way to her lip. She was happy that ..they shared a kiss! Harry turned away from her and motioned towards his home. The clapping stopped abruptly. Eleanor followed him. "Oh! please let's move to the Venue -" Isobel pointed towards a direction. "Thanks for coming!" Precious Added And they led everyone to the place decorated to entertain the guests. "Wait up Harry..." Eleanor said He stopped after he was sure nobody would see them. And Eleanor nearly bumped into him. Harry turned to face her. "What is it?" He asked Annoyance clear in his tone "What's wrong?..Harry, you left the party Without -" "Why did you kiss me?" He asked She leaned in closely Harry stepped backward to avoid her touch "Do you realize what you did you out there?!" He yelled "Harry...I..love you and I wanted to tell everyone about us" she said Initially she wanted to confess! It was hard to tell his feelings - but since his mom assured her that Harry loves her so she figured Harry didn't have the courage to confess his feelings. "About us?" He snorted "What's between us Eleanor?..nothing.. We are not even in a relationship" "Yes I know..but.. we are in love" His forehead creased Eleanor was mistaken "Love?" He chuckled "Yes Harry" "Eleanor I don't believe in love" "I want to prove to you that it does...love exist" He shook his head slowly "You think you love me..and you think I love you in return,that was why you kissed me right? And took away my first -" he stopped and swallowed hard "First what?" She asked "Never mind" He started to walk away He felt bile rose up in his throat "Harry!" She called "Leave! I want to be alone!" Harry unlocked his apartment and rushed to the bathroom. He poured the content in his mouth into the toilet. When he was done, he rinsed his face and brushed his teeth. He could hardly believe Eleanor took away his first kiss..just like that! And now pictures of them kissing would be everywhere soon! He clenched his fists "Damn it! I can't take that as my first kiss...Never!" He pointed to his reflection in the large mirror. "It was a mistake! She kissed me but I couldn't respond to her false kiss. It was An Act!..or a mistake?!.. A mistake! Aish!!" He concluded with a grumble MERWORLD ROYAL GRANDBALL ROOM The room was full of Spectators. Noblemen,Royal Families, Sea leaders, Travellers and Citizens of Merillia Kingdom. They watched Maeve and her crew performing. Maeve and her band entertained them with Music and Dance. "I am a bold mermaid, Singing under the Sea, With a crown of gold on my head. I would sing the whole day, I would fill the Sea Halls with Voice of power, And I would roam abroad and play, With the Mermaids in and out of the rocks" They all clapped when the performance ended. Oceanus stood up from his throne and swims to the centre of the room. "Noblemen and Citizens of Merillia Kingdom. Today is my daughter's 18th Birthday. And we are all gathered here to celebrate our Princess of Great Merillia Kingdom! A special Mermaid is born with extraordinary powers granted by the Sea. She is Ephyra but My Queen, I and the rest of my family,we all call her Almeta. The Daughter of the Sea, one who praises the Sea with powerful Spell Songs one could hardly interprete. As you all know,every 18th birthday of any Mermaid/man in Merillia Kingdom, the celebrant is given a chance to make a Wish. I bring to you Princess Ephyra of Merillia Kingdom" They clapped Ephyra swims to the centre of the room. She hugged her father before he returned back to his throne. "Thank You" she said And it ended abruptly "I am happy to see you all. My deepest gratitude for honoring my invitations. And I do like to sing a song before making my Wish" She looked back at her father for permission. And he said "Go on Almeta" "Thanks Father" Her friends didn't join her to sing. She wanted to connect to the Sea in the Strongest way. And only few would understand and be able to interpret the words in the Spell song even though she would sing in a general Language. She began "Oh Great Sea A cheerful and mysterious deity Nothing of him that doth fade So rich and strange I would kiss you often under the Sea I would kiss you again under the hollow hung ocean green soft are the moss bed under the Sea We would live merrily. Oh Great Sea Today is my day So grant my Wish I am a fair mermaid Singing alone Under the sea In a golden curl With a Starry Sea bud crown on my head I would kiss you again if you grant my Wish Oh Great Sea!" She connected with the Sea. Ephyra sensed it wasn't happy with the Wish on her mind. Then she felt the shock of wave of power in the Sea. "Why do you want to leave?" She heard it clearly from the Sea as the wave grew higher. They all felt the power radiating around the Sea. The air shimmered with the force of the Sea. Then she began to sing to calm it. "You are like a fountain of gold Springing with a shrill inner sound So Rich and Strange Oh! What a cheerful deity!" And it calmed Ephyra reopened her eyes slowly. It was time to make her wish. Today she was going to betray her own people and the entire MERWORLD. They would surely hate her for her wish. They would turn against her and say bad things about her. But she was ready to take it all as long as the Sea grants her Wish. The Calmness of the Sea after the connection signifies that it would grant her Wish no matter the Sacrifice or atonement to reverse the spell. The Merillia Sea saw her pains and agreed to her Wish. "I,Princess Ephyra of Merillia Kingdom wants to make Wish which would surely be granted by the Sea" she paused Ephyra turned and looked at her Father, Mother,16 brothers and their Wives,Cas and Aalton. "I'm sorry Father and Mother... Please Forgive Me" She said to herself and Bowed. "My wish is to -" she stopped She swallowed hard to get the important words pass the lump that formed in her throat. "Say it Ephyra" Oceanus said She nodded and closed her eyes and raised her hands up. "Oh Great Sea grant my Wish" She chanted three times She was surprised at the tightness in her throat. "My Wish is to...leave the MERWORLD and experience Human Life!" They All gasped in shock "What?!" "Unbelievable!" She felt someone shaking her and she opened her eyes. Tethys was there. "Are you okay Almeta?' Tethys asked She nodded There was general commotion in the room " silence!" Morrissey barked And the room was silent. "Are you serious about your wish?" Tethys asks "Yes mother" Ephyra replied boldly "Take it back" Tethys ordered "No Mother" Fury crashed over Tethys as she raised her hand "I said it back!" She slapped Ephyra "No..I'm not taking it back! that's my wish! I want to leave this world!" They murmured with disappointment on their faces. "You and Father want to marry me off quickly to someone I don't love! And you both know that it not a tradition or custom that every special mermaid should get married at 18!. You just wanted to go in line with history without caring about my emotion! And for that -" She paused Everyone was confused They were shocked by her wish. And now surprised by her outburst to the Queen. No one talks back at the Queen! "I want to become Human and be Free" She completed Anger,Pain,disappointment was boldly on their expressions. They all stood to leave with Hatreds in their Heart. They could hardly believe the Special Mermaid could make such a wish. Ephyra saw the tears in her mother's eyes. "Oceanus I have to return back to my kingdom" Bhupendra said "Likewise" Samudra added "No Father" Cas objected "I'm not leaving -" His father went to him "There's no point in staying, the Princess doesn't love you" Cas looked at Ephyra "Is that true? Or you only used that as an excuse to leave our world?" He asked She bowed "Forgive me Prince Cas. I don't love you or Prince Aalton" He chuckled A tear slid down his cheek "I'm sorry Friends,I hope this won't cause a war between us" Oceanus said "No" Samudra replied "Don't Worry Friend" Bhupendra Said "I promise to make it up to you" Oceanus said And they nodded "Okay..good luck in the Human world" Cas said "That's if she's going to leave our World" Aalton added angrily And they all exited the room. EPHYRA'S BEDROOM "I am so disappointed in you!" Oceanus yelled "Why did you make such a wish in the presence of everyone!" Tethys screamed "Calm down Mother" Azizi said Ephyra sat on her bed with her gaze fixed on her tail. "Will it come to pass Kenan?" "yes My Queen" "Is there anyway to reverse or stop it for a while -" Oceanus Asked "Yes My lord" "Please what do we do?" "My lord I will leave to prepare a concoction" "How long will it take?" "Not too long My lord. I will be back before night falls" Kenan replied "Please leave Kenan" He bowed and exited the room "You've brought shame to my kingdom!" "No father..its not my fault. Azizi pleaded with you on my behalf to cancel my marriage. I don't want to get married but you insisted -" "Keep quiet Almeta" Azizi silenced her "Murphy(11th prince Sea Warrior) and Murron (12th Prince Guardian of the Sea) please get me the binding too Now!" Morrissey ordered "And what does that have to do with the issue on ground?" Oceanus asked "I'm going to tie her up with the magical rope and tape her mouth to stop her from casting a spell that would make her leave our world" He explained "Yes Father and with her mouth sealed and hands tied she won't be able to do anything" Azizi added Ephyra sobbed quietly "I want to be alone" "You better keep quiet or else I will be forced to hit you!" Oceanus threatened "Murphy and Murron returned back after some minutes. She struggled with Azizi and Morrissey. "Let me go!" Morrissey placed the tape on her mouth while Azizi tied her wrist. Morrissey ordered Colbert (6th Prince Seaman" to tighten the tools with his powers. And he did They all filed out of her room except Fairfax. "My wish is to leave the MERWORLD and experience human life" He mimicked her. "Now let's see how you are going to leave our beautiful world dear little sister" He laughed "The dear one betrayed her parents. You betrayed the entire MERWORLD! Bringing disgrace to our names! What else do you want? Nothing Almeta cause you have everything. Superpowers,title, pearls, beautiful possessions and precious treasures..Name it! You are such an Ingrate! And you are selfish Ephyra!... Listen to me you are going no where. You would be tied up forever because it the consequence for staining our great names and making such a stupid wish!" He stormed out of the room. Ephyra sobbed at the thought of not seeing the human world again. Hours clicked by until night Falls under the Sea. Kenan came in with Azizi,Morrissey and Colbert behind him. Colbert undid the binding tools. And Ephyra closed her mouth tightly to avoid drinking Kenan's concoction. The three Princes pinned her down while Kenan poured the content in her mouth. Morrissey beat her into swallowing it while Colbert blocked her nostrils. And she was left with no option but to open her mouth to swallow the concoction. "I hope it's not going to hurt her" Azizi asked "No the concoction will weaken her powers which might back up the spell and Wish" They exited the room And the tears flowed again. But she couldn't stop them. °°° SEVEN DAYS LATER Ephyra was weak! She had refused to eat and the concoction Kenan gave her had affected her. Her entire world was upside down. She couldn't cast a spell to free herself. And she felt like her body was shutting down rapidly. Her eyes closed slightly but she blinked severally. No! She didn't want to die! Then she began to sing the song she sang on her birthday in her mind. She pleaded with the Sea to grant her Wish. At the same hour she had said the wish seven days ago. Suddenly her tail became translucent. She felt the emptiness and her eyes opened. Her eyes widened when she was her body was different. It was more Transparent! She couldn't make out what was happening to her. She wanted to scream for help but her mouth was sealed. Minutes clicked by and then Oceanus, Tethys,Morrissey, Colbert and Azizi came into her room. Their jaws dropped when they saw Ephyra. She was translucent. Tethys rushed to her but she couldn't feel Ephyra. "Almeta can you hear me?" She nodded Colbert went to her and unbind the tools "What did you do to yourself?" Oceanus yelled She opened her mouth to speak but her voice failed her. She was confused "Get Kenan!" Oceanus ordered Colbert rushed out of the room "How did you become like this?" Tethys asked Ephyra nodded again They were stunned at her appearance. "Don't leave me Almeta, I'm so sorry for hitting you. And I promise you that you won't get married to someone you don't love. Please take back your Wish" Tethys pleaded "Mother relax..Almeta -" "Please stay with me" Tethys sobbed "What's happening to me?" Ephyra asked herself since they couldn't hear her. She touched her mother's cheeks to wipe her tears but she couldn't feel anything. She was Transparent! Kenan jaw dropped completely when his gaze fell on her. He was stunned! All his years as a Sea wizard he had never seen a transparent Mermaid. "Kenan do something!" Oceans ordered Kenan tried several spells to revive Ephyra but nothing worked. Then he realized Ephyra was leaving the MERWORLD. "What's going on?" "My Lord I'm confused" "Confused?" "Yes..but it seems the Sea has finally granted the Princess Wish" Tethys cried out Now Ephyra couldn't make out what Kenan was saying to her family "But..you gave her concoction" Their words fading in Ephyra's ears. "Yes My Queen the concoction was to weaken her so she could stay a bit longer. That was why she lasted seven days" "What?!...So are you saying Almeta is going to the Human World?!" Morrissey Snarled "Forgive Me My Prince" "No..no..no" Tethys said unsteadily when she noticed Ephyra's disappearance from her Tail. "Please don't leave me Almeta" Tethys couldn't stop her They watched as Ephyra disappeared to the Unknown World leaving just her Sea-bud crown behind on her bed. "No!!" Tethys Screamed Morrissey held her tightly They were heartbroken! "Kenan bring Almeta back" Tethys said shakily "she's a little child. Almeta can't survive in that world..that wicked Human World" Oceanus said "Please bring my child back Kenan" she pleaded tearfully "I'm sorry my Queen...there's nothing I can do to bring her back. All we have to do is give her our blessings and ask the Sea to protect her in that world" Tethys Fainted "Mother! Wake up!" And she was rushed to her Chambers. Ephyra was Gone! The special Mermaid left her world to experience Human Life. ** ** ** Now she left her world! Will Ephyra survive in the Human World? Hmm imagine travelling to a place where you don't know anyone? No clothes,no shelter or food and those basic things you need to survive What would you do? Lemme know Via comment section

A WISH Episode 6 Theme: Loving My New World HUMAN WORLD Gideon Albert was playing football with some other boys he met on the beach. Minutes clicked by and they all got tired of playing football. Gideon walked back to his Elder brother James Albert. “Game over?” “Yes..let’s go home, I’m so tired” Gideon Said James stood up and packed their stuffs into a picnic Bag. They walked back to the Car. And then Gideon felt like he needed to ease himself. “Hey Bro i want to pee” James rolled his eyes and pointed towards a direction. “Okay” Gideon raced off And while peeing he noticed something. He suddenly saw a hand but the rest of the body was covered up in a heap of Sand. He screamed and ran as fast as his legs could carry him. Gideon was scared! “Hey What’s wrong?” James asked “I..I..I saw a body -” He explained to James James didn’t waste much time. He spun on his heel towards the direction. When he got there,he saw a Human Hand. And he wondered who had buried a Human on the beach. And just when he was about stepping backward the fingers twitched. And James exchanged glance with his brother. “The person is alive” Gideon muttered And they started putting the sand away until the found the body. They gasped in Shock And James placed his hands on Gideon’s face. They found the body of a beautiful woman in Sand. Her upper side was covered with Strange clothes while her lower side was unclad. “Get the towel” James ordered as he also looked away from the body. Gideon rushed back to the car. He came back seconds later. James closed his eyes as he wrapped the towel around her body. He checked her pulse and he found out she was breathing fine. James lifted her up in his arms. “Who is she?” Gideon asked “I don’t know” he answered with a shrug “So what are you going to do with her?” “I’m taking her to our home” “What?! Our home? Why do you want to bring a stronger to our home?!” He asked with a wide eye “To help her regain consciousness” “Why not take her to the hospital?” Gideon opened the car door. James placed her gently in the backseat. He chuckled “Yeah you are right Bro..and I was only joking about taking her to our home” He replied They entered the Car, Then James started the Car and drove down to the Hospital where he works as a Surgeon. ONE WEEKS LATER JACOB HOSPITAL Ephyra opened her eyes slowly observing her surrounding through her blurred vision from waking up. “Where am I?” She turned her head towards the beeping sound of the machine next to the bed. “How did I get here?” She asked herself The door opened And James walked in with a Nurse behind him Ephyra looked up at them Her eyes widened in surprise and shock. He opened his eyes full and her breathe caught! Then She stared intensely at him while a smile played on his lips. Ephyra’s eyes did a slow crawl on James. His lips were Full and plump. His hair fell on his eyes. And, He didn’t have a tail! But Legs! She gasped as realisation hit her! “I’m in the Human World!” She screamed James exchanged confused looks with the Nurse. Images of her world flashed through her head. And her lower abdomen clenched at the vivid memories and she Shivered. “How are you feeling Now?” James soft voice stunned her out of thought. She looked up at him without saying a word. Ephyra couldn’t believe she was really in her dream world. No it was her dreamworld but now she’s in it! James moved closer to the bed. “Can you hear me?” He asked “Unbelievable! A Human is talking to me!” She thought James held her wrist to feel her pulse. She was fine “Wow! a Human touched me!” He placed his hand on her forehead “Wait.. do I have a tail?” She wondered “Her temperature is normal and she’s fine -” James said the the Nurse And while he was talking to the Nurse, Ephyra peered under the bedcover to see if she has a tail but she saw Legs! Then she screamed “Arggghhhh!” Her heartbeats rapidly James turned to her “Are you okay?” He asked. She nodded impatiently And she looked again to be sure. “I have Legs!” James raised an eyebrow “Well..I..i think you need to rest” “No I’m fine -” she replied And she was surprised that she could talk to A Human and..he responded. “I really do have Legs?” She asked him “Yes you’d have Legs. And you’re Human, so you need legs to walk” James explained She relaxed “Oh My Sea! Now I’m Human! I have Legs to walk like a human and I can even talk like..like..like A Human!” She laughed James pushed her gently to rest her back on the bed. And she did “Miss what’s your name?” He asked “Name?” She repeated “Yes” And she gave him a hard nod while looking around the room “What’s your name?” She asked him “I am Doctor James Albert” he replied “I am…Doctor Jam -” she paused when she couldn’t pronounce his name. The Nurse stiffed back a laugh. Ephyra looked at her “What’s your name?”she asked “Nurse Jasmine” she replied “Strange” Ephyra muttered But she clapped excitedly “Jasmine can you please excuse us I need to talk to her alone” James said “Okay Doctor James” She exited the room “Can..you..please..remove this?” Ephyra pointed to the plaster at the back of her right palm. She shifted uncomfortably in bed. Ephyra was anxious to see her legs properly and walk like the Nurse. “No it for -” She removed the plaster pulling out the scalp vein in the process. Then she yelped at the sharp pain. “Why did you do that?” James asked She stared at him “Wait here..let me cotton wool” James walked out of the room. “Cotton – Wool” She said And clapped that she pronounced a Human word correctly. Ephyra hopped out of bed. She took the first step,second and third. “Finally! I have Human Legs!” She walked to and Fro..and all around the room. She jumped happily “I am in the Human World!” She looked down at the cloth she had on. It was the hospital gown. “Pretty” Ephyra went to the machine next to the bed and she began to beat it like a drum as she sings along. “I am a Fair mermaid Singing alone In the Human world I would kiss you my Sea For granting my Wish Oh Great -” She was interrupted by the door. James rushed towards her “Stop that -” He pulled her away from the machine “Sit down” he ordered Ephyra shook her head He pushed her towards the bed and say her down forcefully. “What is wrong with you?” He asked Ephyra pouts “You’re weird” he muttered Then she covered her face with her palms James chuckled “You’re weird” she repeated And she giggled at the sound of her voice. James wiped the blood. He removed the rubber gloves in his hands and dumped them in the bin at the corner of the room. Ephyra stamped her feet. She wanted to leave the room to see other parts of the Human world. “So Miss I was asking -” She ran out of the room to the hallway. There she saw people dressed in the same uniform. “Wow! Humans!” She waved at a baby “Come back Miss!” James said Then she spun on her heels when she heard his voice. He thought if Ephyra need to check into a mental home. She was fast..too fast and soon he lost track of her. He couldn’t let her go like that – someone might hurt her. And he wanted to know how she ended up in the Sand on the beach. Ephyra looked at the people on the streets. It was late in the night. “What’s your name?”she asked no one in particular. Three high school girls laughed as they pass by Ephyra. Then she realized she was different from them…than most of the people on The street. They were neatly and Nicely dressed like the ones she used to see those times she used to swim up to the beach. “Yes!I am in the Human world!” She screamed “It’s so beautiful in here!” The people around stared at her and they whispered into each others ears. Ephyra walked faster,turning around with her head tossed back. “I feel like a Human!” Then she began to sing as she walked. “I would be a Human I would sing to myself the whole day I would comb my hair with the comb of pearl And still as I comb it would sing and say, I would be a Human I would comb my hair till my ringlet could fall, Low a down,low a down -” The song stopped abruptly when she bumped into someone and a phone dropped to the ground… Shattering the screen. Ephyra reopened her eyes quickly. The Man utters a profanity while Ephyra walked away without apologizing or even saying a word to him. She hummed her sing in a low tone The man went to her and grabbed her clothes and pulled her back. “hey miss -” Ephyra jerked free and he stood in front of her. He slowly took in her features. Her long brown hair swept over one shoulder. She had incredible bone structure and skin that was nothing less than luminous. Her full lips,nice nose and eyes with long thick lashes. They were Aquamarine! He noticed she was dressed in hospital gown and she was barefooted – No shoes” Ephyra wanted to leave again but he blocked her pathway “You should apologize miss” He said “A – po – lo – gize?” She repeated “Yes…say sorry” Ephyra raised her eyebrow In the MERWORLD you only say sorry when you did something bad,talk bad about someone…. Etc “For what?” She folded her arms “You don’t know?” He showed her his broken phone. “Who are you? And why should I apologize or say sorry -?” “You bumped into me and you ruined my phone” “It was your fault!” She pointed a finger at her “You were busy -” she paused and pointed to his phone But she didn’t know what he had called it “Miss! Miss!” Ephyra turned back and saw James “Are you her guardian?” He asked when James was close. And James gave him a nod. “Why did you run out of the hospital like that?” “I…I..wanted to see the Human world” she answered with shrug “Are you okay?” “Yes I am fine” “Excuse me young Man I don’t think she’s fine. She bumped into me and ruined my phone” James studied him He knew who the Man was. James wondered what a man like him was doing on the street late night. He tried to hide his identity under a disguise but only a true fan of his could tell that he was the Top Most Model in USA. James wasn’t a fan of celebrities but Gideon had pestered him to buy him posters of celebrities so he would put them up in this bedroom. So that made James to know some famous celebrities in their country. The man could buy hundreds of phone if he wanted to or even more But James did well by bringing out his wallet to pay him for the broken phone. “I don’t need your money young man. You should use it to check her into a mental home and buy her a shoe…or better still just confine her to a mental home for life so she won’t go about hurting people” Anger crashed over James at the man’s words but he did a good did at hiding it. “Thanks for the advice but you can as well learn how to talk to people properly.t Being a celebrity doesn’t give you the chance to be rude to others” James held Ephyra’s hand and pulled her behind him. “Who is he?” Ephyra asked “Are you okay?” James asked “Yes” “Did he hit you?” “No” “So why didn’t you apologize to him?” “It wasn’t my fault!” “You should have said sorry to him” Ephyra clenched her teeth as she looked back at the man. In her world he would have bowed to her as the Princess of Merillia Kingdom. “Where are we going to?” “To the hospital” “Where is the hospital?” “The place you ran -” “No” she jerked free “James held her but she stepped backward” “I don’t want to go back” “You need to get better” “No I’m fine” “Then I’ll be forced to carry you” “What?!” He crouched down in front of her. “Hop on my back” “What?” Ephyra stepped aside “Come on!” He coaxed “Can’t I stay in that thing?” She pointed to the moving taxi “No..not now please.. Let’s go” There was no arguing with him so she climbed on his back and he carried her up. “Are you okay?” “Yes” The man watched from where he stood And he figured the doctor knew his identity. Then he thought of Ephyra. “Are they dating?” He asked “No…what responsible man would leave his psycho girlfriend to roam the street at night..with no shoe” He thought He waved it off. It was none of his business. He concluded but he still found himself drawn to the Psycho Lady. ** ** ** Now..I did not ask you to guess the Man oo. another name for Ephyra “Psycho Lady” Hmm Ephyra acting like a bush woman…like Someone from the village that just visited Lagos for the first time Thanks for reading Kindly like and Drop comments!

My child has been gone for 7 weeks now and you haven't done anything about it" Tethys cried "You heard what Wanwisa said when she asked the Sea, Almeta is gone for now and the Sea will bring her back whenever he needs her" "When is the Sea going to need her?" "I don't know My Queen" "I want my child or else I will die" He sat on her bed and stroked her face. "Tethys please accept the fact that Almeta is gone for now..please don't die before Ephyra returns" He hugged her "I want to see my child. What is she doing in that world? What if they find out she is a Mermaid and they try to destroy her? My king you know how wicked they are..The Humans are heartless" She sobbed in his chest "No don't think like that - the Great Sea will protect her" she nodded in agreement * * * "Get up Chantae let's go and play" Calista shakes her up "I'm not interested" Chantae replied soberly "Why?" Calista asked "I want to be alone" "Is this about Ephyra? Come on! it being 7 weeks. And it obvious she isn't coming back again" "Says who?" Calliope asked "It was her Wish" "Or you don't want her to come back again?!" Calliope screamed at her Calista became frightened "I want her to come back" "No you don't...and I can't believe you've forgotten her so quickly" "No that's not true" Calista countered "I'm sure you are happy now" Chantae said with a glare "Happy? Happy about what?" "You're happy that Ephyra is gone..now you are the Most beautiful Mermaid in our Kingdom!" Calliope screamed again "No you girls are mistaken!" "Ephyra is coming back.. You will see" Calliope and Chantae swims away angrily. * * * AZIZI CHAMBER "My lord why are you still in bed at this hour?" Meltem asked Meltem {Wind of the Sea} the 13th princess of Bhupendra and Calista. She was married to Azizi. "Nothing I just need to rest" "My Lord you haven't been yourself since the princess disappearance. Since the past 7weeks you neglected your duties. Do you want to be like forever?" "Meltem I want to be alone" "Everyone is worried about you. My lord you have to be strong for the Queen" "I should have stopped her" he muttered "My lord you tried your best. And it was Princess Ephyra's wish to leave our world" "No I should have done so many things before it got to that -" He said soberly "It was all my fault" He whispered "My lord what do you mean?" "Listen Meltem..one day I saw Ephyra swimming up beyond the Merboundary" "Where was she headed?" "Probably to the Human World" Meltem gasped "What?! That's impossible! That world is far from our world" "Yes that was my thought until she went missing for days" "So you think the Princess went to that world" "Yes but back them it didn't bother me. I thought she was connecting with the Sea" "Why didn't you tell Father about it?" "I can't Meltem" "Why?" "I know what my Father is capable of doing to me if he finds out" She held his hand and squeezed it gently "Please don't blame yourself" "It was all my fault Meltem" A tear slid down his cheekbone. "I couldn't persuade father to cancel her marriage to one of the princes. She didn't want to get Married cause Ephyra felt it was too early for her. That was why she made that Wish. You know things would have been different if the Marriage issue was not there" "No I don't think so. If it was true that Princess Ephyra swims up to the Human world then maybe she fell in love with that world. And when you broke the news that Father was determined to get her married.. Then I think she used the Wish as a chance to be free from getting married" Azizi nodded in agreement "Be at peace My Lord" she hugged him HUMAN WORLD James opened the car door for Ephyra to enter into it. "Get in" he said "Me?why should I -" she paused to admire the car. Ephyra has been discharged from the hospital. She was diagnosed of Amnesia (Loss of Memory " during one of the tests. She couldn't tell them her address,family or friends they could contact to let them know she was in the hospital. She only told them her name which they found strange. She said Ephyra and pointed to the name on a Nurse badge "Adams". " Ephyra Adams" James pronounced and she nodded Ephyra didn't want to disclose her true identity. James explained the meaning of Amnesia to her and she knew they were wrong. Her memory was fine and intact. She remembered her world,who she used to be and how she ended up in the Human World. James decided that he would help her regain her memory. He asked her if she would move into his home, though James was still oblivious of the fact that Ephyra was a mermaid. And Ephyra without wasting time agreed since she doesn't have anywhere to go or anyone to turn to in her new world. She pleaded with him to teach her what normal Humans could do and James agreed even though her finds her a bit strange. "What is this?" "Its a car" "Car? For what?" "I will drive it to take us home" she stood up straight "Why can't we go home with our legs?" "No,the drive to my home is about an hour drive" "What is an Hour drive?" James rolled his eyes. He pushed her Into the car and shut the door. "What is this?" She took a toy from the backseat "Oh! It a boy! Who is this boy?!" She asked Ephyra screamed in surprise when James started the car and it glided into motion. "Calm down we are moving. It is a Superman's toy" he replied She relaxed and smiled at him "What is Super - Man Toy?" "Please use your seatbelt" he ignored her question "Seat belt?" "It right beside you" "Where?" She searched "There..no over there" She poked her ass towards him "No be careful..Ephyra just sit down and let me help you" James said He stopped the Car "Huh? Why did it stop?" "Traffic sign says stop" He showed her the seatbelt and helped her with it Ephyra removed it and did it herself "Good Girl" he roughens her hair with his hand "You are such a fast learner" He pinched her cheek gently And she blushed. Ephyra picked the toy and stick out her tongue. "Good boy..you are such a fast learner" She said to the toy. James stiffed back a laugh. "James what's a traffic sign?" "That device over there" He pointed Ephyra bends her head to see "Which device?" "That light over there" Then she popped her head out of the window to see it. "Ephyra -" he called "Wow! The road is so beautiful!" "Sit down Ephyra!" he said Annoyance clear in his tone and she sensed it "Okay" she said in a low tone Ephyra sat back in the car with her gaze fixed on the toy. James took a wick glance at her and he noticed she was not happy. He did not want to hurt her. "I'm sorry for yelling at you" He apologized Ephyra nodded slowly "It okay if you want to know some certain things you see around here" Then her face brightened a bit "Why are there so many car?..where are they heading to?" The light signalled Green And the cars moved "Uhmm probably to work -" "Work? What is work? Do you work?" "Yes I am a Surgeon" She nodded At least she knew that fact about him "We all work to earn money" "Money? What is money?" "A currency for a means of exchange...and We spend money" "So why do Humans need money?" "To pay bills, feed and buy good stuffs etc" "So why are you not at work?" "I'm on leave now" "What does that mean?" "When you take a break from work to relive your stress" "Stress? Explain it..I don't know" She shook her head "Stress is a state of mental tension resulting from overworking" "Okay" she clapped "Do you have family?" "Yes I have a younger brother" "What's his name?" "Gideon.. he was the one that found you on the beach" "Then I have to say thank you to him" "Yes" "So what about your parents?" "They both died in car crash when I was 18" "I'm sorry for asking" "No it fine if you want to get to know me" "So are you married?" "No" "Why?" "I am not ready to -" She cuts him off "But you are 26..old enough to get married" Ephyra was judging from the rules in the MERWORLD. A Merman at 26 would have started a family even before that age. "Let's just say I haven't found the right woman" His gaze met hers but Ephyra looked away quickly "Tell me about this bracelet" he said "Huh?" She looked down at the bracelet. It was the Neifion Bracelet Azizi gave to her in the MERWORLD. "I don't remember anything about it" she lied "It strange" "No..let me remove it" She tried it and it glowed "Uhmm it nothing" she laughed and hid her hand away from him. "Really? Then what about your eyes?" "My eyes?" Then she remembered her eyes responds to the bracelet. Ephyra cursed under her breathe and closed her eyes "Is this some kind of magic?" James asked "No..it not magical" Then it went off "It strange..very strange" he whispered "I can't wait to meet your brother" she said to stop him from thinking about the bracelet. ** ** ** What would you have done of you were in James?

A WISH Episode 8 Theme:Knowing My dreamworld HUMAN WORLD JAMES'S APARTMENT James punched in the password to unlock the door. Ephyra gasped in surprised "James how did you do that?" He closed the door and showed her the password to his home. "You can't tell anyone the password okay?" He said "Okay" "Promise?" She raised her hand up "Promise" And she gave him a high five. The night they were returning back to the hospital,she saw two children doing the 'high five' slapping their hands together. She liked it so she asked James to teach her. And he did. "Hello" Gideon greeted when James walked in with Ephyra behind him. "Wow!" She gasped at the beauty of the luxurious living room. "Why is she with you?" Gideon asked James placed a finger on his lips to silence Gideon. "Ephyra meet Gideon" James introduced "Oh! You are the one that saved on the beach" "Yes it nice to see to you again" "Thank You" she took his small hand "No you say it nice to see you too or it a pleasure or likewise" Gideon corrected Ephyra shot James a confused look "I..was..thanking you for saving..my life..on the beach" she stuttered "Oh! Okay" "Perhaps..can..I touch..that thing?" She pointed to the green sofa. Gideon exchanged glances with James. "Ephyra will be staying with us for now" James said to his brother "You're welcome to our home" Gideon said He took her hand and led her to the Sofa. She sat on it gently but stood up immediately. "James..tell me -" "Its a sofa" James replied The sofa was different from the Sea moss chair in her world. "Wow! Its so comfortable" "You don't know what a Sofa means?" Gideon laughed Ephyra blinked and nodded "I am just getting use to things in this world" she mumbled. James picked the remote on the table. He pointed the remote towards the big TV on the wall. Ephyra went to the Tv. "James what is this?" "Television" he responded "Tv for short" Gideon added she touched the screen "Wow! James this is so beautiful.. But who are these people?" "Actors" Gideon replied She jumped in fear when James increased the volume a bit. She placed her hands on her mouth. "He's talking to Me!" Ephyra turned to James "How did they get in there?" She asked when an actress appeared on the screen too "Come here" James said "He's so cute!" She pointed to the actor on Tv. Then he kissed the actress. Ephyra clapped excitedly. She knew what they were doing because she had seen Fairfax kissing Nakendra during their bonding ceremony and some other Mercouples. "Are they married?" She asked "No" "So why are they kissing?" In the MERWORLD only Married couples shared kisses on the lips but unmarried ones shared kisses on the forehead and cheeks. "They are acting" Gideon said "Acting?" James went to her and pulled her to the sofa. "Can I do that too?" "What?" "Acting?" She pouted James sat her forcefully on the sofa. "I want to be inside the Tv too" "You have to be an actress to be on Tv" "I want -" "You are pretty and I think you will make a good actress" Gideon said Her cheeks flushed pink she covered her face "Thank you" Then She went to sit beside Gideon "You are handsome too" she said "Better than him?" Gideon asked "Huh?" She looked at James. she laughed loudly. James and Gideon's exchanged confused looks. Ephyra stood up "Bro why is she staying with us?" Gideon whispered She went to the ceramic flower vase which had the image of a Mermaid imprinted on it. It reminded her of who she was in the MERWORLD. She wondered if they were all doing fine without her. She was worried about her mother. And she suddenly wished that they could all move to the Human World and live together.. But none of them liked the Human world except her. "She doesn't remember anything about herself..family and all" James said to Gideon Gideon felt pity for her. Ephyra turned back at them "James I want to work" she said with a serious face. She settled down beside him. He held her small hands in his large ones. "Ephyra you can't work" "Why?" "You need to get better" "So what am I going to do?" "Gideon is on holiday..so you can help him with studies" "What?! She doesn't even know TV and Sofa..and you want him to help me" "I can help you" she said "Really?" She nodded Gideon stood up and motioned towards his room. "Are you okay?" James asked "I'm fine" "Would you like something to drink? Tea, soda -" "I'm fine" Gideon came back with his arithmetic textbook "Solve this equation Miss" It was the arithmetic his teacher gave them as assignment but no one could solve it. Ephyra collected the pencil and she solved it.. Then Gideon checked it with the correction his teacher gave to him. She was correct! "How did you -" he trailed off "Are you convinced that she can help you?" James asked He was surprised the She could solve the equation. "Maybe" Gideon answered "James can't I do other things aside helping Gideon?" "Let's work with Gideon for now..I will provide you with anything you need -" "Books!" She screamed Ephyra decide that she needed to know more about the Human World, so reading the books here could help her in some ways. "You want books?" "Yes..about Humans" "We have books about Human Anatomy in the library. Gideon will show you" "And I also want that thing you place on your ear and talk to it" She demonstrated "Phone?" James said She nodded "I noticed everyone around here has it" Gideon laughed "I will get you one" "And shoe" she smiled Ephyra recalled the look on the man's face she bumped into. She didn't like that look of disgust. "Then let's go to the Mall to pick some stuffs for her" Gideon suggested "Mall?" She repeated "It is a place where you can buy variety of goods..like an enclosed shopping centre" Gideon explained "Gideon go and change your wears" "Okay" he raced to his room Ephyra went to the TV "Can we go with the Tv?" "No" "Why?..I love it" "You can't carry the TV around like it a cellphone" "But I can" she responded James went to her "Ephyra -" "The actor won't be happy that we are leaving him behind" She said with a sad face "The actor doesn't know you,he can't hear you now" "Why?" "Time to go to the Mall!" Gideon's screamed "You know what?" James asked "No" "You will play with the Superman toy" James said And her face brightened forgetting about the TV HARRY'S BEACH HOUSE It was a cool Saturday Morning,not much doing. Harry climbed into bed after a quick breakfast of Bacon and eggs. He was about to plug in his earphones to listen to music when the doorbell jangled. Harry silently prayed that whoever was at the door shouldn't be his mother or Eleanor. And at the same time he wondered "who could it be?" He hopped out of bed and slipped on his soft slippers which had the ears of rabbit. He moved out of the room to the living room. His eyes widened in shock when he saw the person on the porch through the intercom. Shawna was there! Looking beautiful as ever! Shawna Brown was the closest female friend he had in Italy. He convinced her to move to USA to run Masters degree but she refused. She wanted to run the program in another country. Two Years now and she was there on his porch! He watched as she applied more lips gloss on her full lips. "Still the old Shawna" he muttered Harry unlocked the door "Harry!" She hugged him immediately "Hi Shawna" he greeted He tried to pull back but she held him tightly "I miss you My Harry Potter!" Shawna pulled back to look at him "Now look what we have here! Hot and Sexy as ever!" She teased Harry chuckled "Come in Shawna" She stepped in "Nice apartment" She complimented "Oh Thanks!" She settled on the couch "What would you like to drink? Yoghurt?" He remembered that was her Favourite. And Shawna managed to make him love it too. "Yeah Yoghurt" "Be right back" He motioned towards the kitchen "Good to hear that you haven't forgotten some stuffs about me" Shawna said when Harry came back seconds later. "Can I?..I doubt that" he winked And they both laughed "Thank You" she said "So how did you find me?" "Come on Harry!' She gulped down a whole glass of Yoghurt "You are Famous, A Superstar, so it was not hard for me to find you" Their gaze locked and she said "Okay..I'll tell you" "I'm listening" "I came in two days ago..but before that I saw the news -" she paused "What news?" He asked "You don't know?" Harry raised his brow "Your birthday..I saw the picture of you sharing a Kiss with Eleanor White" "Oh!" Harry Huffed and rolled his eyes "Shawna you won't locate this place with that picture" He stared at her "You got me'" she threw her hands up "I met your mom yesterday. So she gave me your address" "You did not forget my family home address?" "No..I have it in my diary. And I'm glad that your mom remembered me even though we met just once. And I'm super excited to see you again!" She said happily "I am happy to see you too" "You haven't settled things with your mom?" Harry was silent "Well you mom told me some certain things about -" "Same words she told you years back" Harry cuts in "Maybe..but I think you are taking things too Far" "Just like what you said two years ago. Shawna can we discuss something else please?" "Like what?" "Anything about you" He replied with a smirk "Let's start with you" she said with a half smile "That kiss with Eleanor -" "It was nothing" "Nothing?" "Yes Shawna but everyone thinks we are in a serious relationship" "Are you guys not in a serious relationship?" "No..Eleanor is not my girlfriend" "Oh" Her face brightened a bit "So why didn't you arrange an interview with the press to let them know that they are mistaken" "I don't have time. Moreover it would die down in two weeks time" he answered She stood up and went to him. "So are you still the same old Harry?" "What do you mean?" "I Mean..the Harry I used to know" Harry chuckled "Go straight to the point Miss -" he paused and looked down at her fingers. No ring! "I'm not married" she said in a tight whisper with a big smile on her face. "Relationship?" He asked "Single" Then they lapsed in silence "Single?" She asked He nodded "In love?" She asked He was silent again An image flashed through his mind. And he tried to block the image from his mind's eye. "Harry?" Shawna called at him snapping him out of Reverie. And he jerked back to life. "Sorry..what were you saying?" He scratched the bridge of his nose "Are you in love with someone?" "Come on Shawna..you know love -" "Love doesn't exist in your world" she completed his intended statement He snapped his finger "Exactly" "Harry I understand that what happened between your parents changed your mind about love..but seriously? You are getting older, Harry you are 26,clearly old enough to start a family" "You are 26 Shawna clearly old enough to get married" he said "Yes I know" "So why are you still single?" "I am waiting for the right guy.. And I think have found him" "Tell me about Mr Perfect" He pinched her cheeks gently "I am serious Harry" "And I am serious Shawna" he grinned "Do you know the reason why I moved to USA?" "I was about asking the same question" "So do you know?" "No..I don't -" he paused "Lemme guess.. you want to spend some time here and enjoy USA breeze for a while" She held his hands "No" "Then..why?" "I moved to USA because of you" "Me?!" He jaw dropped slightly "Yeah..And to be honest I couldn't stop thinking about you since you left Italy" No! He didn't want to hear her telling him about Love! Harry shifted uncomfortably on the couch. "Shawna -" She placed a finger on his lips and silenced him. "Harry I think am in love with you. And when I saw that picture of you and Eleanor I thought it was true and I felt sad that i had lost you to another woman. I blamed myself for not telling you about my feelings when we were together. And..I couldn't tell you back then because I did not want ruin our friendship. And I had thought travelling to Spain would make me forget those feelings..but no..I was wrong. It kept growing and I regretted not coming with you to USA when you asked me to" Harry was surprised! He never knew Shawna was in love with him! Or maybe she did a good job at hiding her feelings for him! She never acted like she wanted something more than just being friends with him in Italy. And Harry never thought of her as more than a Friend. "So are you saying for 2 years now..you didn't love or date any guy" "I did" she replied honestly "But every relationship I had didn't turn out the way I wanted it to be. I never loved my men the way I love you Harry" She replied He ran his hand into his hair "What do we do now?" "Harry open your heart to love and give me a chance to show you that love truly exists" He stood up "I don't think it a good idea" "Why not? Harry this is going to work If only you are ready to let go of everything you have against your mother" He nodded impatiently This is not about his Mom! Shawna isn't the right woman for him,same with Eleanor No doubt in his mind about that. The feeling of love was the missing puzzle between their relationships. And even if he changed his mind and decided to fall in love then she would be different from the women in his lives. A woman that would make his heart beat at the mere sight of seeing her and thinking about her. A woman that would make him realize that love exists without being told. He thought deeply "I'm sorry Shawna" "No..no..I will give you enough time to think about it" "No Shawna let's just be friends" "But I want to be more than that..I want you to see me as a woman and not just a friend" she responded in a tight whisper "Shawna -" She leaned in "Think about it Harry. I'll take my leave now" he nodded But in his mind, There was absolutely nothing to think about. He doesn't love her! And Harry isn't ready to love any woman! He can only regard them as Friends not Lovers! Keep Loving it

A WISH Episode 9 Theme: Job Hunt HUMAN WORLD TWO MONTHS LATER JAMES'S APARTMENT It was on Sunday evening and not much doing. They had dinner around 6:30pm. James,Ephyra and Gideon sat around the table filled with Stacks of Advert Papers. Ephyra was used to the Human world. Being a fast learner and desperate to know things about her new world, she was able to learn what normal humans could do with the help of James ams Gideon. Even though she was happy and satisfied in the new world,the MERWORLD had still popped into her thought again and again. She liked her new Life and World and she has a good body. And she was forced to ask if her body was the same as that of a 18 years old Human. Gideon had replied her,he said she does not look like any of his high school seniors. Then Ephyra realized that the 18 years old mermaid was trapped in the body of a 26 years old Human. And she enjoyed the fact that she was not treated as a kid or the 18 years old baby sister she was in the MERWORLD. Instead she was an Adult in the Human world. A 26 years old Woman,old enough to make decisions on her own without any interference. And she had no idea how to thank James and Gideon for making her a real and complete human. "I don't want you to work in a bar or clubhouse" James frowned at the paper in his hands "Why? Is there something wrong working in any of those places?" James looked up at her "You can't understand" he muttered "Oh! You don't know?!" Gideon asked "I don't know the reason but if the pay is good then I will go for it. I just want to earn money so I can help in paying the bills" "Ephyra I don't have any problem paying the bills" "Then I can take care of our feeding when I start work" "No..I'm not complaining -" "But I don't like the fact that you are the only one doing everything for us" James stared at her "Gideon is there something wrong in wanting to help him?" "No..but -" he stopped and bit his lower lips "I won't advice you to work in such places" Gideon completed "Why?" "You look too innocent to work in a clubhouse or bar.. Or let me just say that you are too beautiful to work there and it really dangerous for a woman like you" "Why? Is it that bad?" She questioned frantically He nodded "Men won't let you rest..they can harm you" "I am old enough to protect myself" Ephyra replied She balled her fists as if she wanted to throw bad punches at someone. They rolled in laughter. Too much watching of wrestling,boxing and America movie stunts has thought her few fighting skills. Ephyra was sure she could take down any man with the help of her super strength. That was the only power she possessed in the Human world. It seemed strange at first because she didn't exhibit such ability in the MERWORLD. "Not in this World..Beautiful Women are not safe in Clubhouses and Bars" James said "Then I am not beautiful -" "You are beautiful Miss Ephyra Adams" Gideon said He leaned forward on the table and placed his hand on her shoulder. "And I suggest you try modelling. It would suit you better than working in those places. You have the qualities.. Trust me I see you becoming Miss World" He said with a serious face. Ephyra frowned and said "Me?! Miss World?!" She shook her head. "No" She wondered if it was possible for a mermaid like her to become a Model not to talk of becoming Miss World. And she was not ready to ask them about it because they might think she's crazy again "No she can't -" James objected before Ephyra could say anything His voice stunned her out of thought "What did you say?" She asked "You can't become a model" "Why?" She asked "You can't because -" his voice He thought of what to say "I think my brother likes you" Gideon blurted before James could utter any word James glared at him "I like him..I mean I like you too. And we all like each other like a family" Gideon exchanged glances with James Ephyra didn't understand Gideon's statement. And she couldn't tell where he was driving at. "I didn't mean that.. Sort of likeness" Gideon was interrupted by a growl from James "So what sort of likeness?" She asked "Never mind" Gideon focused his attention on the paper in his hands. "Well James it seems you don't want me to work. It really boring staying at home alone all day. I want to work like a Human" "Ephyra I'm not asking you not to work" "Then why do you keep saying I can't do this and I can't do that" "Well I suggest you go into tutoring" "Tutoring?" "Yes Gideon can tell his friends to sign up for extra classes after school and during weekends. The classes can take place right here" James suggested "No I am not doing that. I don't want to be with school kids" "And I object to the suggestion bro. I can't bring my naughty classmates to our home" "Then let's keep checking" James said after he realized there was no way he could win against these two. Seconds clicked by and Ephyra screamed, sending papers flying around the room and startling her family. "I found it!" "What?" "A job" Gideon touched his chest "You startled me" "Sorry" she apologized in a low tone "Let me have it" James said She gave him the sheet "Here" she tried to point "Got it" "GOLDMYNES MODELLING AGENCY. AUDITION TO BE HELD AT THE AGENCY ON 29TH OCTOBER" James read loudly "No..not that one. There's a job vacancy on the left side -" she said "WORKERS NEEDED AT GOLDMYNES" "They put up two adverts under the same company" Gideon said "What is Goldmynes?" She asked "Never mind" She picked her phone and pressed the screen and went to Google. A tiny blue microphone appeared on the Google page. She tapped on it and said "Google give me details about Goldmynes company in USA" And it answered with a beep. It showed an article and series of pictures "Goldmynes is one of the most successful company in USA. It is owned by Late Mr James Jones" she read out loudly from the phone "Mrs Isobel Jones took over the company after her husband's death in a plane crash" She felt pity for Isobel and she looked at her family "Have you guys read it before?" She asked when she noticed they weren't paying attention to her. James was lost in thought "We know about it. Everyone know about Goldmynes" Gideon replied "Well I need to know about it too" she said Gideon responded with a shrug "She is one of the most influential women in USA. And her only son Harry Jones next in line to take over Goldmynes company. He is currently the CEO of Goldmynes Modelling agency" she scrolled down to see more images. She saw Isobel and Harry pictures.. Mostly Harry's pictures. "Wow! He's so cute!" She exclaimed "You don't remember him?" James asked "Huh?" She smiled broadly "I haven't met him before -" she replied He nodded "Wow! He's even a model..an international and top most Model in USA. Gideon.. he looks like that guy's picture in your room" "He's the one" Gideon replied "I know those facts about him. Everyone knows him very well except you" He said again "Yeah I don't know him" she responded "So which one do you want to go for?" James asked "I will opt in for the workers vacancy. I don't want to be a Model" "Why?" Gideon asked "I don't want to go around in tight dresses that will make me look like a grilled fish" They rolled into laughter "James do you have any idea of the type of work I would do at this company? They didn't specify it here" "Uhmm..I don't know..but probably a secretary" "Secretary? I don't have any qualification. No I don't remember anything about myself" she said in a low tone "We already planned to work on it" "Yes I know" "Then maybe..a Janitor or delivery girl or errand girl..they don't require any qualification in some companies" Gideon said "It better than working in a clubhouse or bar right?" She asked They nodded in unison "So what do I do now?" "Call the advert agency. I'm sure they will link us up" James answered "Okay" He picked up his phone and dialed the number attached to the advert. A man picked on the other end. "Good Evening Sir. I am James Albert" "Good Evening Mr Albert" "Actually I saw this advert just now that Goldmynes need workers" "Okay..are you the one applying for the job?" The man asked "No my friend" he replied "Is your friend a female or a male?" "Female" "Good..exactly what they need" "Can I at least know what job she would be doing at the company?" "Well I can't disclose that until you fill the application form" "And how so we get that done?" "I will send a link to you now. You click in it and fill in her profile" "So what happens after that?" "They might select her for an interview with the Chairlady" "Okay...Thanks" he hangs up "Ephyra -" he was interrupted by a beep on his phone. The man forwarded the link to him. "Did I get the job?" She asked with a broad smile "No..not yet" Her smile dropped "We have to do some certain things before you can get the job" "Like what?" "Going for an interview" "Interview?" She panicked "Don't be scared Miss you will get the job" Gideon said "How can you say that when I have no idea what to say?" "You're smart.. and I'm sure you will pass whatever test they will give you especially if it an IQ test" "Stop the flattery" she said James Yawned "Keep quiet Gideon I need to concentrate please" He said "Okay Bro...I guess we won't be needing these papers anymore" GOLDMYNES COMPANY ISOBEL'S OFFICE Isobel couldn't take her eyes off the document on her desk. She leaned forward to look at the Resume on it. No doubt Harry won't object to this - And I'm sure he will convince her to work for him or even be a Model at his agency. Isobel thought deeply. She was stunned out of thought when she heard a sharp knock on the door. "Come in" Isobel said Her secretary walked in "Ma'am a young woman is here to see you" Tracy said "What's her name?" "She said Ephyra -" "Ephyra Adams" Isobel completed "Yes Ma'am" A smile formed on Isobel's lips. She couldn't wait to see Ephyra. "Please let her in" "Okay Ma'am" Tracy exited the room Ephyra stepped in "Good Morning Ma'am" "Oh! Good Morning" Isobel greeted cheerfully "I am here for an interview" "Please take a seat" Isobel stared at Ephyra for seconds. Different thoughts flooded her mind. She was extremely stunned by Ephyra's beauty. "Ephyra Adams" she said Isobel picked the Resume on her desk. "You are 26" "Yes Ma'am" Isobel read out information about her. "Perhaps have you worked as a care worked before?" "No Ma'am" "Maid?" Ephyra raised her brows "No" Isobel dropped the file and looked at Ephyra with a serious face. Ephyra's heartbeat accelerated "I..I don't have too much working experience.. But Trust Me I can do anything because I am a very hardworking woman" Ephyra said Isobel relaxed "Then let's talk business. I mean let's put the interview aside" "What do you mean Ma?' "I will tell you what the work is all about" "Okay" "I want to hire you to work for my son" "Your Son? That's a great privilege" Ephyra said with a half smile. She was still nervous because of the serious look on Isobel's face. "Yes it is but most people I have hired don't know that" "So do I have to work as his Secretary?" "No" "Driver or errand and delivery girl?" "None of that My Dear" Ephyra shot Her a confused look "Then what?" Isobel cleared her throat "18 years ago I accused my husband of having an affair with an employee. And our argument led him to travel out of the country. My Son and I awaited his return but we only heard the news of his death. I lost my dear husband in a plane crash. I felt guilty after I found out my husband was loyal. He didn't have an affair with his secretary. And my son blamed me for his father's death. We've been apart for years now and He doesn't regard me as his mother" she stopped "My son stopped believing in love after his father's death. He felt like if I could accuse the one I love till death and also accuse his father unjustly then love never existed between us. He said I never loved my husband dearly" "So what do you want me to do for you?" "I need your help. I need someone who can change mg son's outlook and make him believe in love" "No I don't think I can help you" Ephyra felt Isobel was asking her to make her son fall in love. "No from where I'm sitting,I am looking at someone with a brain and beauty. A woman who knows how to go for a jugular. A woman who is definitely my son's type. A tall,leggy,beautiful woman. And I know you've got the extra something that can make the difference" Isobel studied her expression. She took in Ephyra's features. She was beautiful. Her hair straight and long in a single braid that ended down her back. She wore no make up and her very sharp chin was cute. Ephyra tended to wear what she had,simple gray woollen dress,long sleeved and tight around her hips with Sandals. Without warning Isobel was out of her chair. "Look you're what is going to make this happen" her hands rested iyn Ephyra's shoulder "I have hired so many women to work for him. Everyone tried everything but gotten nowhere. He is like a cemented wall and he is tough. And I got to thinking that my son has to have a weakness. Something that will get him and make him change his mind. And from everything I think his weakness must be an extremely beautiful woman like you with a goof heart" "I am not sure about that. And I don't think am the right person for the job" "You Also know I'm right" Isobel said right from behind her. Ephyra never considered herself beautiful. Since she found herself in the Human world,everything about her changed. No more Brunette Hair but straight and long brown hair. She had a sharp chin,flat stomach, long legs,breast that were big enough to make any man look twice,eyes with long thick lashes and full lips. One things didn't change which is her Vibrant Aquamarine Eyes! And she had seen beautiful Humans. Women that are pretty! So No! She can't be Harry's type no matter Isobel's words. She thought deeply. Ephyra stood up from the chair "I'm not the right person for your son" she said meeting Isobel's gaze with a Frown "No make up,no implants,no false lashes. I am too thin,too tall I guess and too pale and I've got strange eyes too" Isobel frowned at her "You have to stop scowling like that and put on a bit make up with maybe your hair loose with those eyes. Even without makeup you'd stop traffic" Ephyra nodded impatiently "Please help me - I can tell that my son's hurting. Work for me and help Harry out of that lonely shell" She squeezed Ephyra's hands gently "Please" she pleaded Then the thought of her mother flooded her mind. Images of when Tethys was begging her to stay flashed through her mind. She saw the pain in Isobel's expression. "What do I have to do?" She asked in a low tone "You'll be like his personal assistant but you have to move into his house" "What?! Why..why do I have to live with him?" "By so doing you will be able to get close to him and talk to him" "Then it's like I'm going to work as his maid too" "Not really -" she paused "Yes..Harry lives alone by the beach. And it worries me that he's Far away from home. I just want to know if he's doing fine -" "How old is he?" "26" "He's not a kid anymore" "I know Ephyra... Please just accept the job and help Me renew the bond between me and my son" Isobel begged "I'm sorry..I can't" She knew James wouldn't like the idea of moving into her boss house. "Why?" "Nothing" she replied with a shrug Ephyra motioned towards the door "$1000 if you last a week in his house" Ephyra stopped at the door "And I know you can do this Ephyra" She twisted around to face Isobel. "Ephyra.. Its a challenge" Isobel was determined to convince Ephyra to work for her! Familiar tingle of excitement starting to grown in her at the challenge of getting Harry to talk when no one else could and even let him know about love. "I'm not doing this for the money" Ephyra said. She had seen Isobel's pain and she was also ready to do anything to have her old son back. And Ephyra felt Harry needs to forgive his mother and learn to love. She went back to Isobel's desk. "We can sign a contract" Oh! She was serous about the Money! Isobel reached for a folder and held it out to her. "Here" Ephyra took it from her. It was a thick Manila folder with "Goldmynes" in bold type in the right edge. She opened the cover and shuffle through the document. "This won't be easy" she muttered "Sorry if it were that easy someone would have done the job for me" Ephyra nodded in agreement "But there has to be a way to make him stick his head out of the bunker" "Getting him to talk and making him see that James death wasn't my fault and intention is your main job" "Okay" "And you can as well use what you have to get what you want" Ephyra raised her brow. She couldn't make sense of Isobel's last statement. "There's a bonus attached to the job" "Bonus?" "I will pay you if you survive one week with him. And I will pay double of it after two weeks. And you also get the chance to shop at Gold Mall without paying for the items" "I get all of that?" "Yes But under one condition" "What condition?" "That's if i see some changes. All I want is to be a mother to my son and see him smile again" Isobel nodded She was offering too much. Ephyra thought She didn't want to do the job because of the money but she remembered that she was indebted to James. She could use the money to repay James for saving her life and taking her in. That was the main reason she wanted to work. "And you also get paid at the end of the month. Ephyra I will reward you greatly If things changes" Then she thought of what she would do with all the money. Gideon's tuition,bills and probably go on a vacation with her family if she works for a month or two. "Do you have family?" "Yes..perhaps can I go and see my family in the process of working with your son" "Yes after I see changes. And you don't have to give in now. I can give you sometime to think about it" "What do I have to do?" Are you accepting now?" "Yes but you have to give me a day or two to talk to my family..and spend time with them" "Okay" "So when should I start?" "You have to move in with him" "Will he let me in?" "That's part of your job" "Okay..I'll try my nest" She collected the pen from Isobel and signed the document. And Isobel did the same too. "Is that all?" "For now that's all" Ephyra stood up "I'll take my leave now" "Thank You" Isobel shook hands with Ephyra "It nice meeting you Ephyra" "Likewise" Isobel gave her a card "Call me whenever you are ready" "Okay" Ephyra said She walked out of the office "It's going to work this time. And I can't wait to have my son back" Isobel said She silently prayed over and over again that Ephyra would be able to move Harry's heart. ** ** ** I just decided to post by this time because I just finished typing! And I will be very busy today! Thanks for Reading!

A WISH Episode 10 Theme: Hidden Feelings HUMAN WORLD JAMES'S APARTMENT "How was the interview?" James settled down beside Ephyra on the couch after giving her a glass of apple juice. "Hmm..fine" she said coldly She didn't know how to tell James about it "Is something wrong?" "No..why?" "You sounded cold" "The interview went well James and I got the job" "That's good news" "Yeah" "So tell me about the job" "Like you know I met with Goldmynes Chairlady" He nodded "And Mrs Isobel want me to be Harry's personal Assistant" "Sounds Good" James said with a half smile "Are you sure you want to take the job?" James asked as he rubbed his palms together "Yes..but James that's not all about the Job" she said "So what else?" "As..Harry's PA I have to move in with him" "What?!" His jaw dropped slightly and his gaze met hers. And Ephyra studied his expression. James stood up "What kind of job is that?" Ephyra stood up and went to him "Listen to me James..I won't stay with him for too long. I just want to help Mrs Isobel" She explained to him "Her family problem is none of your business. Isobel should find a way to settle with her son. And why did you sign that document?" "I -" "You signed it because of the money right? Do you even know who Harry Jones is?" "I don't know" she replied sincerely "Fine...Ephyra you are not taking that Job" "James I need to work. I don't want to be a burden to you. I -" He went to her and cupped her face in his hands "You are not a burden to me. And remember you have to regain your memory -" he rested his forehead on hers "I'm fine James" "I can't allow you live with someone you barely know" "Please James -" "We can get another job" He said "Or You will enrol in a college for now" "No James" she pulled back That was his way of stopping her from taking the job. "Why do you insist on taking this job?" "Look James..you took me in without knowing me, same thing applies to me working for Harry" "It was different. You don't remember anything about yourself" "No you barely knew who I was back then but you helped me. I don't know Harry Jones but I'm ready to work for him. It all about taking the risk -" "Risk?..No I can't allow you take such risk. You are not doing this Ephyra" "I already signed the document and I am resuming work on Wednesday" "Wednesday? You even agreed without consulting me? Without bothering to talk to me about it first" "I'm sorry" He cursed under his breathe "Damn it Ephyra!" He stormed out of the house. Ephyra felt sad. She sank onto the couch slowly. She did not like the fact that James was mad at her. FIVE HOURS LATER She lay on the couch waiting for James. Ephyra was worried about him. The door clicked and Ephyra stood up. It was Gideon. "Hi Miss World" Gideon greeted "Welcome Gideon" she lay back on the couch. Gideon noticed her tone was different. "What's wrong?" "Nothing" Her answer was immediate "Where is James?" "He stepped out five hours ago" "To where?" She sat up again "I don't know" "Something is wrong. So tell me what happened" "James and I had an argument earlier" "About what?" "The job" "Yeah how was it?" "Good..and I got the job" "I knew it" "I have to work as Harry's PA" "Wow! That's awesome!" "Yeah..but the thing is I have to move in with him" Gideon smile disappeared immediately. "Why?" "I need to help Mrs Isobel convince her son that her husband's death was not her intention" She explained "So James was mad at you for accepting the job?" "Yeah" "My brother is scared of losing you" "Scared of losing me? What do you mean?" He didn't respond "Gideon I'm not leaving forever. I will always come around as soon as Madam Isobel sees change in her Son..and I can do the same whenever I'm less busy at work for the main time" "It seems you don't understand James. And I'm not in the best position to tell you anything. But don't worry I will talk to him" "Thank You Gideon" The door clicked again and James stepped in. "James -" she stood and went to him. He tucked his hands into his pocket and walked towards his bedroom. Ephyra followed him. "Can we talk?" She asked but he didn't respond "You know it fine if you don't want me to take the job -" He slammed the bedroom door at her face which interrupted her words. She stood outside for seconds. She had no idea why James was acting differently. Ephyra turned and saw Gideon staring at her. "Don't worry I will talk to him" He said She nodded and walked Into her room. JAMES'S BEDROOM Gideon walked into the room. James was staring out the window. "Hello Bro" Gideon greeted James didn't respond. Gideon dropped his school bag in the wardrobe and dashed off Into the bathroom to take a quick shower. James sat on the bed rubbing his palms together anxiously. Gideon knew his brother was disturbed by Ephyra's new job. "Can we talk?" Gideon asked "I want to be alone" James replied And Gideon said after a long pause. "I think you went too hard on Ephyra. I mean when she tried to talk to you earlier..you ignored her and now she is sad" Gideon said in a low tone. James met his gaze. "I'm sorry Gideon.. I don't know what came over me to act like that" Gideon said He went closer to James and sat beside him on the bed. "I know how you feel for her"James frowned at him "What do you mean?" "Come on bro...I know you are in love with her and you are scared of losing her" "That's not true" "Then why won't you let her take the job" "She's still getting better" "No she's fine now...I know what's going on in your mind. You don't want to confess your feelings to her because you are thinking it would change your relationship with her and at the same time you don't want her to work so you won't lose her to another man like how you lost your Ex" Gideon stopped "You know too much than your age kiddy" James said "Am I right?" "Yes Gideon" "Miss Ephyra want to work so that she can help you" "I don't want her to repay me for anything. You know our inheritance is more than enough for us even if I decide not to work for years" "Yes I know but you should let her do whatever she wants" "I'm just concerned about her moving in with Harry Jones. I don't trust that guy,someone who doesn't have any regard for his biological mother then how is he going to respect a lady who will be a personal assistant at work and maid at home...but Ephyra doesn't understand. Gideon you might think am selfish because I want to keep her around me but this is beyond that or my feeling for her" "Why don't you just put her interest first?" "Then what if she falls in love with Harry Jones?" Gideon was silent "If she ends up falling in love with Harry then I have to let her go again..just like what I did with the other women in my life" James replied in a tight whisper. Gideon placed his hand on James lap and pats him gently. "Hey bro if Ephyra is the woman for you then no one will take her away. If you guys are meant to be together,even Harry Jones won't be able to take her away" Gideon responded They lapsed into silence. Gideon was aware that James has been through many breakups in the past. The women he loved and dated, somehow they ended up dumping him. His last girlfriend complained that he was too busy with work and he never had time for her,so she cheated on him and broke up with him the day James found out she was cheating on him. Then he decided to remain single till he finds a woman who would make him fall in love again. A woman who will love him,Gideon and understand the nature of his work and also be loyal to him. Then Ephyra came Into the picture and he found himself falling in love with her while he was teaching her things Humans could do. James couldn't confess his feeling simply because...he didn't want Ephyra to think he was taking advantage of the fact that he helped her. He clearly knew that Ephyra doesn't love him. She liked him as a helper and sees him as a family. "She might end up running away from you if you don't let her work" Gideon said after a long momentary pause. "I won't let that happen...but..i keep having this feeling that sooner or later Ephyra would end up leaving us someday" "What are you thinking?" "It just a feeling.. Or maybe my instinct" He smiled at Gideon "So will you let her?" "I have no choice Bro" ***** ***** Ephyra rolled on her bed when she heard a soft knock on the door. She looked at the time on the alarm 6:30am. Then she hopped out of bed and wore her soft slippers. "Good Morning Ephyra" James greeted when she opened the door "Good morning" Ephyra replied "Can we talk?" He asked She nodded "Come in" James stepped in "I've decided that I would call Isobel and turndown the job" She said before he could say anything. "Look James am not going to do anything you do not support" He tucked his hands in his pocket. "What about you?" he asked "I'll be fine" she answered "So you want to turn down Isobel's offer because of me?" "I'm willing to James. I don't want you to be mad at me or us fighting because of a Mere job. I value our relationship than the Job. And you are right Mrs Isobel Family's problem is none of my business. So let's leave it that way" James stared at her. "And I will stay at home too if you don't want me to work. It okay by me because with that I can do more cleaning and our laundry" She sighed out loud. Ephyra went to him. "Don't worry I won't take the Job" she said And she was almost leaving to the bathroom when James said "You can take the job" She turned to face him "Ephyra don't turn Mrs Isobel's offer down" She walked back to him "I thought you said -" "I changed my mind" he interrupted her statement Ephyra studied him. His expression was serious "Are you Sure James?" She asked James covered the inch left between them "I know you want to do this" he whispered "And I don't want you to think I'm caging you around here" he brushed strands of hair from her face. "I'm sorry for how I acted yesterday" He apologized She nodded "I want you to work and earn your own money" he added Ephyra almost burst of happiness. She was happy,so she hugged him tightly. Ephyra swept him off His feet and swirled him. James was shocked She didn't even realize it until she was dropped him. "Sorry..I..I.." She stuttered She had forgotten she has super strength "How..how did you manage to lift me like I weigh nothing?" He asked in a surprised tone "I..I don't know -" she lied "Thank You James" she placed a kiss on his cheek quickly "I'm leaving to work now. Pack your things so I can drop you at Goldmynes before heading to work tomorrow" "Okay" "Take care" he leaned in and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Have a nice day at work" she followed him to the living room "Call me if you need anything" He said and she gave him a nod. "Let's go Gideon". James said "Get back on time so we can hang out later in the day" "I'll try" he replied "See you later Miss Ephyra" Gideon waved "Bye Gideon" She tried to stop the scream that welled up in her throat by placing her hands on her mouth. If she screamed right there James would come rushing inside like something bad had happened to her. She was extremely happy that James agreed to let her work! Ephyra looked down at her wrist when she felt the power around it. The bracelet glowed and she rushed to her room and locked the door. She saw her reflection in the Mirror. Her eyes glowed brightly. "What's wrong with you Neifion?!" She asked the bracelet. The Energy increased and she felt power within her system. Then she went to her bed and lifted it up like a piece of paper. She did it with heavy objects she could find,lifting them like they didn't weigh anything. She got tired and waited for the bracelet to stop glowing but it didn't. She wished it would just come off from her wrist. "Neifion will stop glowing... I need to take a shower" She said to the bracelet in a tight whisper And the light faded slowly She sighed with relief "Thank goodness... You have to listen to me when I talk. And don't glow when I'm with any human" She came out of her clothe and went Into the bathroom.

A WISH Episode 11 Theme: Buried in the snow WEDNESDAY EVENING HARRY'S BEACH HOUSE Ephyra pressed the doorbell for the 15th time but got no response. She went to Goldmynes to ask for Harry's address but Isobel asked her to stay around with her for a while..showing her pictures of Harry when he was little,his college days and his images as model. And when it was time Isobel ordered her driver to take Ephyra to Harry's house. "Well...maybe he doesn't want me to come in..but Mrs Isobel said he can see anyone out here from inside his apartment" Ephyra said to herself "I'm not leaving this place until he open up - but I can't stay out here for too long because it would snow soon" She gripped her coat tightly "He should better open up or else I will have to bring down this door" She kicked the door "Ouch!" She yelped in pain "Maybe...a proper introduction would do" She cleared her throat and focused on the small device connected to the intercom inside. "Hello Mr Harry Jones,I am Ephyra Adams. Your new PA and Maid. I will do a good job at taking care of you. So please open up so I can start work..Thank You" She wanted to bow but unfortunately for her,she hit her head on the device. "Argg!!" She rubbed it "This is so annoying! Why won't he open up after introduction!" Then she wanted to kick the door but she stopped. Her phone buzzed. An incoming call from Isobel. "Hello Ma'am" "Yeah..Ephyra have you met Harry?" "No I have pressed the doorbell but no response. I don't think -" "Do you want to give up?" "No I don't think he's at home.... but I'll wait for him" "Okay I called his office and his secretary said he didn't show up at work today" "Maybe you should try calling him" "He's not picking up his calls" She heard a car horn nearby. "I think he's here" "Let's talk later" Isobel said Ephyra took few steps and she saw a car driving into the private driveway In Harry's home. Her heartbeat accelerated when Harry came out of the car. And she did her best to put the brightest smile on her face. Harry noticed the Lady standing on his porch with a big box. Her back view didn't looked like Eleanor or Shawna and she was on phone. His jaw dropped slightly when Ephyra turned to look at him. "Psycho lady?" He muttered Harry recognized her immediately. Ephyra waved at him as she waited for him to join her. His heart skipped beat as he took in her features. He admitted that she did look wonderful tonight. Better than the lady he'd met months ago. Her brown hair was carefree and cute. She opted in for a pair of blue knee length gown with a black woolen coat on it and a stiletto heels. He walked closer to his front door. Harry was surprised to see her there. And he thought he was imagining things again. Over two months away,he'd tried to convince himself to forget about her but it was easier said than done. She had popped into his thought over and over again when he was busy at work. Harry had visited the same spot she had bumped into him that night but it seems they'd never reconnect. He had no idea why her image had flooded his mind when Shawna asked if he was in love. Was he in love with the woman? The psycho lady he barely knew. The psycho lady images always finds it way to his mind's eye. It was hard to figure out why he couldn't stop thinking about her. He stared at her and couldn't take his eyes off her. Her aquamarine eyes with long thick lashes which had left him mesmerized the moment he'd looked into them that night. He wondered what she was doing at his front door with a box. She looked different! And he would have doubted it if he had seen her from a far distance. Ephyra had put extra effort into her hair and adding rogue to her cheeks. And he felt like reaching out to her and pulling her into his arms. But he wouldn't do that. "Good Evening Sir, I am -" "What do we have here?" He asked with a frown "Do I have a delivery? Oh! You can bring the papers so I can sign them" Ephyra shot him a confused look. Harry clenched his fists to suppress the urge to touching her. "Uhmm.." She cleared her throat "I am not here to deliver anything" she pulled her box closer "This is my personal box" Harry tucked his hands into his pocket. "Did you miss your way? And you need me to help you find your way back to your home?" Harry asked "No I am your new PA and Maid" she replied Her forehead creased He couldn't believe his ears "Mrs Isobel Jones hired me to help you" Unbelievable! He almost burst of happiness! She was his maid now! Wait...I don't like Anyone staying with me. He thought deeply. Then Harry hang tough. A part of him wanted to invite her in but the other part disagreed. "Who is she?" "Who?" "The woman who hired you" "She is your mother" "I don't have a mother and I don't need a PA or a maid. So I guess you are in the wrong place" That's a lie! He knew she was in the right place. "Can't you do something else aside working as a maid" he muttered As he moved to the door. "Pardon?" Ephyra heard what he said He turned to face her. "Can you do me a favour?" "At your service Sir" He covered the gap between them and expected Ephyra to step backward like most women would do but she didn't. Ephyra stared back at him. And he wondered if she knew they had met once. "How much did she pay you?" "Who?" "Old lady" "Who is old lady?" "Isobel Jones" "Your mother?" "She's not my mother" "And why are you denying your mother?" she met his gaze and Harry looked away "How much did she offered for you to agree to work for her?" "That's between your mother and I" "Tell me.. I'm Willing to pay more right now" "Why?" "I don't need anyone around here" "Why?" "I like being alone" She folded her arms "How much do you have?" She asked "Pardon?' "can you pay me $10million" Harry eyes widened "For what?" "So I won't work for you or your mother" she replied "Okay...give me your Account details I will pay it by end of the week" "Then I will leave by the end of the week when you have the money" "I'm not letting you into my house. Go and tell that old lady you gave up" "I'm sorry I won't be able to do that.. Pay me $10 million then I will leave to tell your mom I give up" "What do you want?" "I want to work for you Mr Harry Jones.. Oh maybe he's inside" she was almost moving to the door but Harry blocked her pathway. "Leave or else I will call the cops" He meant otherwise in his mind but he didn't want to admit that he wanted her to stay. She leaned in and placed her hands on his chest. She must be a toucher! Harry tensed up..jolt of electricity ran down his spine and his middle clenched at her touch. He stepped away from her. "Don't you ever touch me again" He said I'm a harsh voice "I'm not scared of the cops" she said sternly "I have heard a lot of things about you. So stop being stubborn and tough because I won't give up. Let's stop this conversation and go in because I can see snow making it way down to the earth slowly" "And who says you are coming in with me?" "Me..look I won't be staying for too long. Uhmm two months and I'm gone" She moved to the door "Open up and let's go in" she said He nodded in agreement. Her face brightened that he agreed to let her in "Step aside" "Why?" "I can't let you see my password" "What's so special about it? I need to know it as your maid" "You are not scared of the cops right?" She nodded He watched her for seconds without pressing the buttons. Ephyra felt uncomfortable at his stare and she stepped backward. He was different from James. She thought Harry occupied the space to hide his pins from Ephyra. The door buzzed and it opened "Go and get your box" he said The box was quite far to the door,so she went for it. Harry stepped in quickly and shut the door. "Hey!" She banged on the door. She hissed out loudly. She shouldn't have agreed to get the box. Ephyra grumbled and stamped her feet. She should have suspected it. She hit the door with her foot and screamed in pain at the same time. "Bad ass Boss! This is so annoying!" She grumbled Ephyra hoped that Harry would change his mind and open the door before snowfall or else she would freeze to death out here Her phone buzzed, she took it out of her jacket pocket. It was James. "Hello James" "How are you doing Ephyra?" "I'm fine" "Have you settled down in his home?" "I've gat everything covered James" she lied "Well.. If you are not comfortable there..you can come back and get a better job" "I'm fine James...thanks" "Okay" "Extend my greetings to Gideon" "Take care" he hung up Harry was looking at Ephyra inside. He noticed that she was on phone..probably calling the old lady. He thought Then he realized that she didn't tell him her name. It was his fault! He did not give her the chance to introduce herself. What was wrong with him? This was a great chance to get to know her..but he waved it off like it didn't matter to him. He motioned towards the kitchen to prepared dinner. "She would leave after some minutes" he thought Minutes clicked by and he cursed under his breathe when the doorbell sounded..but he ignore it. He carried his food to the intercom. Ephyra was still there. He checked out the window,it was already snowing. "She would get cold and call the old lady that she give up" he whispered "Two hours more and she would get tired..." He concluded Ephyra pulled off her heels and buttoned up her coat to avoid cold. She fought the strong urge to call Isobel and tell her that she gave up. "No..no..you can do this Ephyra... No Giving Up" ******* ONE HOUR LATER The cold air made her gasp and she pulled her jacket more tightly around her. Ephyra stepped into the snow to see if the lights were on. The snow immediately penetrated her boots,the howling of the wind scared her a bit. She started forward, the cold made her barehand and knee ache so she pushed her hands into her pocket. "Mr Harry!" She called but her voice was lost in the wind. "Mr Harry!" She yelled again. She started to the side of the house. As she walked keeping her head down against the driving snow. "Mr Harry! Open the door!" She screamed. All she heard was the wind..more and more snow as she called out to him. It was then it hit her that Harry might be asleep. She looked closely the lights were on through the curtains. She wandered to the right side. "Harry! Please open up!" The snow caught at her feet tripping her, sending her falling. And there was no hands to stop the fall. And she went down into cold wetness, which went down her neck,up to her sleeves, into her nose and mouth. Ephyra wondered if a person could drown in snow. She couldn't find anything to hold on to,to get back on her feet. The cold was overwhelming and she was gasping, totally off balance. She knew she should have waited on the porch. She hit the icy ground with her hand. She wasn't born and bred to this life. This sort of weather did strange things to people. "Mr Harry!" She screamed His eyes flare open immediately when he heard the loud cry. He remembered the psycho lady was still out in the cold while he had fallen asleep on the couch. "Damn it!" He muttered He rushed to his room to grab a jacket. He didn't know what to call her as he looked around him into the night and storm. "Lady!" He shouted in the wind. He cupped his hand at his mouth and tried again "Miss!" He listened for a second and then he heard a voice. "Mr Harry!" He wasn't sure if he heard it or he'd just imagined it until he heard it again. He took off in the direction of the sound,stumbling through the snow. He saw a figure in the swirling snow. "Mr Harry!" Ephyra cried. He headed for her then he was there. Harry grabbed her hand, lifting her up. And without thinking he pulled her to him and the next instance her arms went around him,hugging him tight,her face buried in his chest. The instant he held her,he felt something in him that he'd been trying to keep at bay. His heart arched from a fear that came from knowing what could have happened to her. The fear caught him and his hold on her tightened for a moment. "What in hell were you thinking?" Harry demanded with more roughness "I was...calling..for you" she said in a voice so unsteady and low that he almost couldn't make out her words. He held her away from him and saw her chin trembling. And he grounded out "You're a fool" "It...was..your..fault.." She shuddered violently. He felt her unsteadiness. He wanted her gone. He wanted to be the way he'd been for years - alone. He tried to let her go but the moment he did,he felt her fade to one side,so he had no choice but to keep that contact. The wind grew in intensity as he slipped his arm around her shoulder letting her lean against him and turned her towards the porch. As he pulled her to his side,she hid her face in his jacket. Ephyra seemed to have no strength. By the time they got to the porch Ephyra was badly able to walk. Her jacket was heavy with snow and she was pale. Her breathing was unsteady and shallow and she was shaking all over. Ephyra hugged herself as Harry opened the door. He helped her with the box. "Take off your coat" he said when they stepped in. Her hands were shaking so badly she couldn't pull at a button. He unbuttoned her jacket for her and tossed it on the floor. "Full heat will only hurt you more" he said. Harry knew the signs of hypothermia. Heat could do more damage to her. She needed to regulate her own body heat. He felt the urge to touch her pale cheeks. "You..left..me..out..there" she shuddered violently again "I thought you were going to give up" he said "Sound... Like a plan" she muttered he looked at her again "Where..is ..my ..room.?" She asked "Come on.." He pointed towards a direction. She looked at him and it was then that Harry realized something was wrong. She shivered violently again,her whole body shaking, then her hand went towards him and as he reached for her hand,he saw her falling to the ground. He caught her and then scooped her up in his arms. She was completely limp and he knew she was unconscious. Then he rushed her to his bedroom. Wow! I think this is where their love story begins!

A WISH Episode 12 Theme: In His Home HARRY'S BEACH HOUSE Ephyra felt a hand on her forehead,a gentle contact,warm and careful. She felt a pain when the soft warmth dissolved and comfort was gone. Her skin on fire, an aching all over. She felt the heat and cold,the pain and burning and bone deep aches. Then the shaking started, convulsive shivering. She heard a deep voice,soft and soothing. She felt something against her lips,cool liquid and she choked on it and the managed to swallow. The shaking grew until someone gather her in strong arms,holding her tightly as if to keep her steady. And gradually,the shivering lessened and she snuggled into the warmth. The voice whispered she'd be okay. And very slowly she fell asleep. Ephyra didn't know anything until she felt herself waking from a deep sleep. She heard a voice "I wish I could get her to the hospital" Harry said on phone "Even if you could,she can't go back outside" Doctor Brandon replied "She's doing better" His voice was low "Well she's lucky you knew what to do" the doctor said "Really lucky Doc... Thank You" She was too weary to open her eyes or speak. Harry touched her wrist,holding it lightly,then the touch was gone. "Her pulse is strong,a bit fast and she's breathing well. Her body temperature is normal and her color's better" "You did a good job" the doctor said "Just make sure she's fine" "Of course..thanks" Harry cuts the call. He touched Ephyra again,this time on the forehead. He leaned closer and whispered to her. "You are okay...just rest" Then she let go and tumbled back into the comfort of sleep. Harry watched Ephyra settle and something in him eased. He took a deep breathe for the first time since he had carried her into his bedroom more than 8hours ago. He could hardly breathe without tightness. She'd be okay. He moved out of the room to get a cup of coffee in the kitchen. ******* Ephyra woke up with a start to darkness. She blinked,a panic of not knowing where she was or what had happened choking her for a minute. Then she remembered everything. She closed her eyes for a moment and lay very still as she remembered Harry. She was in bed,she knew that and she was warm. She opened her eyes slowly trying to focus. She slowly turned her head toward the light source in the room. She looked beyond and her breath caught. Harry was there. He was sitting in a couch about two feet from the bed,his eyes on her. "You.." she said "You are awake" he said softly He stood up. Harry was dressed in a flannel shirt and jeans and hair slicked back from his face. He moved towards the bed. "How do you feel?" He was bending over her,then he touched her forehead. "Good" he murmured She shifted slightly to test her body and that was when she felt the blanket directly on her skin. She peered under the blanket and saw that she was naked. Ephyra pulled the blanket up to her chin and glared at Harry. "What did you do to me?" "Questions again" he reached for her wrist and circled it with his fingers. She tried to get free but Harry didn't stop touching her. "You must be feeling better" He said with a smile as he took her pulse. That wasn't funny! Here she was in her bra and panties,in a bed in his home. She trembled and tugged to get free "Let me go or I'll -" "Shh..let me concentrate" he said She bit her lip and waited,then he finally let her go and stood back. "Now what do you think I did to you, or I was doing to you?" He asked Ephyra kept the blanket up to her chin. "I'm naked" That brought a small smile to his lips that only made her face burn "Not completely.. It's best to get rid of clothes where there's a chance of hypothermia especially if they are wet and cold" She didn't know the meaning of Hypothermia "But..." "You passed out and you weren't in any condition to undress yourself" it didn't make her feel better "Well...so..you just..undressed me" she stuttered "You looked pretty awful when I found you but now you are in a good shape and the shivering stopped" "So.. whose...fault was that.." "I told you to leave but you refused. I thought you were going to come loose with all the shaking you were doing" "I..i..feel..okay now. My clothes..where -" "You still want to stay around and work for me?" "I'm not giving up Mr Harry Jones" He kept watching her and it made Ephyra uncomfortable. Her face colored when she remembered someone holding her when she was shivering. It was Harry holding her when she was wearing only bra and panties. "Perhaps...how long have I been out?" "29 hours" "I've been here for a whole day!" "More than a whole day" She tried to maneuver herself into a half sitting position with her back against the headboard. "I'm hungry" Ephyra said abruptly He stood there silently,and she became uncomfortable at his silence. "Mr Harry Jones can I get my clothes?..I need to eat or I'll die of hunger" she murmured "Okay" "Wait..is this my room?" He turned to face her "No" he walked away and came in later with her box. "Thanks" Harry moved out of the room. She went to the door and locked it. She took out her towel and nightgown and went to the bathroom. ****** Ephyra walked into the kitchen. Harry was there, a pot of coffee on the gas and he was taking something out of the toast machine. "Cinnamon toast" she said "Yes" It was getting close to midnight. She sank into a chair at the kitchen table. He brought two coffee cups to the table and sat across from her. Harry sipped his coffee and ate his toast. Ephyra sat back cradling the mug in one hand. "Now let's do a proper introduction" she said Harry put down his mug and looked right at her. "I am Ephyra Adams" "Ephyra Adams" he nodded slowly "Your mother hired me to -" "She's not my mother" She exhaled noisily "Why do you keep saying that your mom..." Her voice trailed "Stop...if you want to stay around then stop talking about that woman" he stood up and walked away "What's so wrong about his mom? He's so proud! She did nothing wrong! And isn't he old enough to realize that... Jerk!" She took another sip of her coffee * * * NEXT MORNING Harry yawned loudly as he made his way to the kitchen. He was tempted to check on Ephyra but he walked on. He stopped at the entrance of the kitchen. Ephyra was there working her way around the kitchen as she hummed a song he couldn't make sense of. He cleared his throat and she turned to face him. "Oh! Good Morning Boss!" She greeted cheerfully "Good morning Ephyra" He gulped down a bottle of water from the refrigerator. "Can we talk?" She asked "Yes..as long as it's not about old lady" "Well it about my job" "You're giving up?" "Never! I was just about telling that I won't be giving up anytime soon" "Are you sure?" "Yes..I'm not the type to give up easily" she replied "Get ready we are heading to my agency" "But..the snow..." "It not snowing anymore..and the roads are cleared now" "Okay Boss. Food is ready" She said when he was almost leaving the room. "I am not hungry" "Okay" * **** * * ****** Harry rolled his eyes when he saw Ephyra. He was surprised to see her on heels in this sort of weather whereby the roads are still slippery and not fit to walk on. "You can't come with me in my car" Harry said "Why?" Ephyra demanded "I don't like sharing my car with anyone" "What?" "You heard me" he moved to the driver's seat and entered the car. "But I am your PA, so I have to be everywhere you are...." Ephyra moved to him "Why?" "If..if anything happens or goes wrong with you..then I get blamed for it" "I don't care" he grounded "What?" She glared at him Harry glanced at his wrist watch "I'm running late make sure you meet up at Gold Mall" "Are you serous right now Boss?" "Dead serious Miss" he grinned. He was almost closing the car door but Ephyra held it. He tried to pull it but he couldn't. Ephyra was holding it with her super strength. "Won't you let go?" "I won't let go until you agree to give me a ride" "No" "How do I get to Gold Mall? I don't even know the place" she said sincerely "You can ask around or use your google Map" "Well you and I both know that no one lives around here. And I have to walk to the next bus station to take a bus which will also take a while..." "Like I said.. I Don't Care. Meet me at the Mall by 9:00 or else you get fired!" He pointed at her "9:00?! How..." She loosened her grip on the door and Harry closed it,shoving her aside in the process. She staggered backwards on heels and hit the ground hard suddenly. Harry drove off without looking back at her. Her phone beeped. It was Isobel. "Good Morning Madam Isobel" "How are you doing?" "I'm fine..thanks" "What about Harry?" "Oh! He's fine" "Where is he?" "He left not quite long" "Perhaps... Is he giving you any problem?" "No" She tried to stand up bit she screamed at the sharp pain in her ankle.. Ephyra wondered if she had broken a bone. "Are you okay?" Isobel asked "Yes..yes..I'm fine" she lied Slowly she removed her heels and made her way back to the front door. "Did he tell you where..." "Gold Mall..he asked me to meet him at the Mall" "Did he tell you why he wants to visit the Mall?" "Probably to buy some stuffs..." "I'm just surprised at his sudden visit to the Mall. He has not been there for years now" "Well..maybe he want to check it out today" Ephyra limped back to the door. "So why are you alone?" "Uhmm..I need to clear something up at home before joining him at the mall" "So..did you talk to him about me?" "Yes I did" "So what did he say?" Ephyra was silent She tried to think of what to say to Isobel. Lying was not the best in this situation. "He denied you" Now it was Isobel's turn to be silent. "I'll keep trying my best..." "Thanks...I'm just glad that he didn't call me up to complain about you. So I guess you are both doing fine" "Yes we are fine" "Please take care of my son" "You can count on me Madam Isobel" "Bye" "Have a nice day" she hang up "This is so annoying!" She said after trying Harry's passwords. "Its so painful..." She rubbed her ankle gently "Argg! Harry! You bastard!" She dialed his number and he picked "What do you want?" "Well..you see Boss..I need to get my phone from the house but I don't know the password" "Your phone?" "Yes" "So what are you using to call me?" Then she realized what she just said "Oh sorry Boss! Not..my phone...i meant to say my wallet. Yes..yes my wallet. I don't have money in my jacket to pay a Taxi" "4801" he said She pressed on the buttons and it opened "Oh thanks Boss!" In the real sense Ephyra wanted to change her heels into a comfortable boot. "Mr Harry was so wicked for pushing like that..he thinks I am going to hive up because of this...fool! Never!" *** *** *** She came out minutes later and started the trek to the nearest bus station. She prayed that a taxi should appear out of no where to help her to the Mall. Ephyra became frustrated when none showed up. She got to the bus station and she saw an old man offloading cartons from an old truck into a mini mart next to the station. "Excuse me Sir" she said The man turned to face her "How may I help you..young lady?" "When is the next bus arriving?" "I have no idea..I haven't seen any bus around lately" "Why?" "They only come around if people want to visit the beach mostly during festive period or special days" The old man groaned in pain when he bent down to lift a carton "Oh sorry..let me help" She carried three heavy boxes into the mart. The old man was surprised. Ephyra saw an old woman in the store. She sat at the pay desk. "Good Morning Ma" she greeted her The old lady was stunned "Uhmm..where should I drop these cartons?" "Over..over there" she stuttered Ephyra dropped it and went back to the old man. "How..how did you manage -" "Give me a ride to town" she cuts him off to silence him. She knew it was her Super strength at work and she was not ready to tell him about it. He might think she's crazy. "I will help you with the boxes and you give me a ride into town. And I can drive If you let me" she said James had taught her how to drive when she was eager to know learn Human Stuffs. "Okay...but can you drive?" "Yes" she arranged four cartons, bending over to lift them again. Then she suddenly felt the sharp pain in her ankle but she ignored it. "Just relax..I will take it all" "Thanks" Minutes clicked by and Ephyra finished carrying the boxes. The man drove her to the town and she thanked him. She took a taxi to Gold Mall.

My Fairytale A WISH Episode 13 Theme: You're Fired! GOLD MALL Ephyra alighted from the taxi and paid the driver. Gold Mall has an enormous building with every window having a designer brand engraved on it "G.M". People walking in and out of the building with paper bags in their hands. Ephyra gasped when she stepped Into the Mall. It had all variety of goods. Suddenly,she started to feel a pounding pain at every step she took with her right ankle. Though she thought of calling James to inform him about it but she waved it off. James might try to convince her to quit the job for spraining her ankle few days at work. He would get mad at Harry for hurting her. So she concluded that it was best to endure the pain. "Now how am I to find Boss in this big place?" She limped farther and went to the Jewelry section after passing by the Large grocery store. "Excuse me.." She said to the lady at the desk. "How may I help you Miss?" "Perhaps..have you seen Mr Harry Jones around here?" "Oh yeah..he's in the clothing section" The last replied "Please where is the section?" "On the second Floor so you have to take the elevator" She pointed towards a direction "Oh Thanks Miss!" Ephyra said She moved towards the elevator and soon was on the 2nd floor. She saw the Salon section and looked in it to see if Harry might be there styling his hair. "Wow!" She gasped when she saw the ladies sitting in front of large mirrors. "So..pretty" she muttered She looked at her phone, 9:20am. Ephyra prayed that Harry won't fire her for coming late to the Mall. "He can't fire me..Mrs Isobel hired me..not him" Then she stopped to think as she stared at her phone "What if he tells his mother I am not punctual and that -" She was interrupted by a familiar voice. "I can't run my agency like that.." She looked up. And Harry was there! He was walking towards her with three other people. Two women and one man. Ephyra knew they were models like Harry. "Boss!" She waved at him Harry looked at her. His eyes did a slow crawl on her. And he noticed she was not on heels anymore but boot. Ephyra cleared her throat and managed to walk to them. She did a good job at hiding the fact that her ankle was hurting badly. "Who is she?" The man asked "Jason meet Ephyra. She's my PA" "Oh Ephyra it nice to meet you" Jason said "Likewise" she shook hands with him and Jason kissed the back of her palm. "You're such a beauty" Ephyra raised her brows Harry cleared his throat. He was not comfortable with Jason's attitude towards Ephyra. "Ephyra meet Tiana and Tatiana..they are the new models I just signed into my agency" "Hi Ephyra" they chorused "Hello" she replied with a half smile. Jason stared at her taking in her beauty. "Wow!..Harry your PA is hot and sexy...she looks exactly like a professional model" "No she's not a model Jason. I thinks its time to leave.. Take the ladies to the agency I will meet up soon" "Ephyra I hope to always see you around at the office..or we could have lunch some other time..." "No..no not with this one Jason..she's got a boyfriend" Harry announced without thinking. Ephyra gave him a surprised look Boyfriend?! That was a lie "Oh really? Ephyra I should have expected that right?" "Uhmm.." She looked at Harry. Ephyra wasn't comfortable with the look on his face. "Yes" she faked a smile "Go ahead Jason" Harry said "Okay" "Bye" The ladies waved at him "Why..why did you tell Jason that I have a boyfriend?" She asked "And is that what you should be asking me right now?" "Huh?.. I thought I asked you a question too" "I told you to get here by 9:00...what's the time now?" "9:30" she replied in a low tone "Good..You're Fired!" Harry grounded out "What?!" Her jaw dropped. And Harry started to walk away. "Boss! That's unfair!" She screamed Harry turned to face her "I got here before 9:30" she said "What time?" "There was no bus at the station...I couldn't make it on time...so I arrived by 9:20" She answered "Keep that excuse to yourself.." "But..I'm being honest here.." She muttered He studied her expression "Follow me" he said "Huh?" "Do you want to get fired?" "No Boss" "So follow me" And she followed him "I need to get clothes for the Models at my agency. So we would be very busy In the next couple of days" he said "Are you listening?" "Yes Boss" "So let's go to the clothing section" "Okay" "That's remind me..don't tell old lady anything about my agency" "Why?" "Its none of her business" "Okay" she stopped And cursed under her breathe at the sharp pain in her ankle. "Are you okay?" Harry looked back when he felt she was not following him again. "Oh yes..yes" "Why did you pull off your heels?" "There was no way I could trek to the station on heels. Are we still heading to the agency?" "Yes to get my schedules from my Ex secretary" "Ex secretary?" "Yes she resigned this morning so you are taking her place as my PA. So walk fast because we have a lot to do today" "Okay" she followed closely. Finally, they got to the section. Ephyra saw clothing racks filled with clothes in different styles and colors. Gowns,silk dresses,jeans,s hirts and all. Dresses over the section. There were a lot of them. The three women in the section bowed to Harry when he walked in. Harry went to the racks and started picking out dresses from them. He threw them into Ephyra's hands. Then she thought she might die of stress or the pain in her ankle. "Boss..why am I the only one carrying these clothes? I thought the ladies are here..to help" "Are you complaining?" "No" "You can give up right now" "No,I'm not giving up" "Okay..but remember..I'm not giving you a ride in my car to the office. You have to find your way" "No..not again Boss..why won't you let me in your car?" "I don't like sharing my car with anyone" "It doesn't make any sense. I had an accident earlier while you were trying to -" "Stop making up excuses" He silenced her He kept dropping clothes in her hands. "I can do you a favour" he said "What?" "You have to pay me for the ride to the office" "That's not a favour" she muttered "Pardon?" "I wasn't talking to you" "I would do you a great favour by giving you a ride in my car.." "But I have to pay..." "Yes..or else you have to carry these loads to the office alone" "What?!' "Having a second party in my car makes me uncomfortable" "Unbelievable" "You have to believe me" He grinned wickedly. Ephyra hated him for his toughness and because he was doing everything in his power just to make her give up. "Okay..I'll pay you" "$100" "What?! $100?" He nodded "That's too much for a fare around town" "Then take a taxi" he said "$20" "Did I tell you I need money to buy candy?" "No..I don't have enough money on me" "Then it either you trek to the office or call your boyfriend to bring you to the office" "How did you know I have a boyfriend?" "Am I wrong?" "Have we met before?" "Maybe.." He shrugged "Where? When? I don't remember seeing you anywhere except when I searched for Goldmynes" "Never mind" he picked the last clothe on the rack "So does that mean you will give me a ride?" "No..admit that you have a boyfriend and I will consider giving you a free ride" "But..what has that got to do with -" "Fine! Then find your way alone!" He gritted He went to the desk to pay his bills. Two women calculated the price tag on each clothe. "No need for that ladies" the third woman at the desk said "Why?" "Madam Isobel called in earlier and said you shouldn't pay for anything" he gave her his card "I am paying.." "No Sir..please I'm not ready to lose my job" "Calculate it and let me have the receipt" They calculated it and packed them into bags. They were a lot of bags to carry! "$2000 Sir" "Okay" he leaned forward on the big desk "What's your name?" "Rose" She replied with a smile "Okay..thanks" he turned away from her "Let's go" he said to Ephyra without making an attempt to carry any bag. Ephyra eyed the bags "Come on..or else I won't give you a ride in my car" "Okay" She carried all the bags with her strength. And Harry was stunned to see her carrying them without stress. She managed to get the bags into Harry's car outside the Mall. She stuffed them in the booth and entered the car beside the driver's seat. Ephyra sighed in relief. ** ** ** GOLDMYNES COMPANY ISOBEL'S OFFICE Eleanor barged into Isobel's office without listening to the words of the secretary. "Madam Isobel.. I'm so sorry..I tried to..." Isobel silenced her "You can go Tracy" Then she stepped out of the room. "Where are your manners Eleanor?" She said in a low tone "Oh! Sorry Madam Isobel I lost them the very moment you hired a new worker for Harry" Isobel smiled "Anyways sit down and let's talk" "No" she declined "Okay...so why are you here?" "Why did you hire a new worker for Harry even after he made it clear that he doesn't want any..." "Did Harry complain to you?" "He doesn't have to -" "Any why are you concerned about this new worker?..From what I can remember..Eleanor you never cared about them" "Things are different now" "What is -" Isobel paused She thought for a second and it struck her "Oh I see" "What do you see?" Isobel busted into laughter "What's so funny?" Eleanor asked angrily. Fury crashing over her. "Are you jealous of the new worker?" "Jealous?" Eleanor repeated "Yes...Jealous that she's beautiful. And you are concerned that she might capture my son's heart" Eleanor glared at her "How did you find out about her?" "And what do you mean by capturing Harry's heart?" "Well it just something you couldn't achieve for years...but I feel Ephyra will do better" "What?!...but you told me that I was going to marry Harry no matter what...and I've been waiting for years" "And does he loves you?" "You said he loves me" "I said..but did you ask Harry?" "Why are you doing this to me? I wanted to give up on him but you begged me not to..." "You are wrong Eleanor. Have you forgotten the deal?" "What deal?" "Deal of making Harry fall in love with you. I told you that if you succeed then I won't oppose your marriage to him. And you promised to help me talk to him in return.. You promised to bring us back together but what happened? You failed at everything Eleanor. And I still kept working on your career. I didn't give up on you hoping that someday you would win his heart and help reunite us. You were only concerned about your love for him that you neglected your promises,my emotions of wanting to be close to my son again" "I can't believe this.." She muttered "So you think she can win his heart?" "My deal with her is not about winning Harry's heart. It about reconnecting me to my son and also teaching Harry what loves means..True love which comes from the heart without pretence" A tear slid down Eleanor's cheek "Should I apologize to you?" Isobel asked They heard a knock on the door "Come in" Isobel said She expected Tracy but Harry walked in. "Good Afternoon Old lady" She stood up from the chair and went to him "Oh son! How are you doing?" "I'm fine" Eleanor wiped her face "When did you get here?" He asked her "Not quite long" "She was at your office?" Isobel asked "Yes" Harry dropped a brown envelope on the table "What -" "The payment of the clothes I bought at the mall. The lady at the desk refused it" "I gave the order son" "This is business" "Yes I know..and its all yours" "How on earth did you find out I was at the Mall?" "Ephyra told me when I called this morning" "She did?" "Yes...and are you getting along well?" "Why do you want to know?" "I'm just curious...since you didn't call me the first day she showed up at your doorstep..up till now" "I am kicking her out of my house very soon" "Come on son don't be too harsh on the poor lady,she's only trying to make a living" "Accept this money and I'll let her stay" Then she collected it from him "Well..I plan to pay double of the money you offered her and more by the end of the week" "She won't accept it...she's different from the other women I've hired son" "Are you in love with your maid?" Eleanor blurted "she is my PA" "Oh that trash...you're calling her a PA" She spat She carried her bag and made her way to the door. Anger crashed over him and he clenched his fists. "She's not a trash. Her name is Ephyra and she's worth more than you are Eleanor" Isobel gasped in shock "What?!" Eleanor turned to look at him "Uhmm..son -" he jerked free from her grip "We have to stop this nonsense now..don't let us pretend anymore" He looked at Eleanor "I don't love you Eleanor and I never did... And I can't love you" he said and walked out of the room. "I can't take this anymore" she gritted "You will pay for humiliating me like this Isobel" she grounded and stormed out of the room. Eleanor promised to make them pay for causing her pain. She won't let things go just like that..no one hurts her and gets away with it. She concluded. ** ** Yawa Don gas oo Eleanor is determined to make them pay..and I'm sure Ephyra is not left out. Who is to be blamed in this scene? Isobel? Eleanor? Or Harry?

A WISH Episode 14 Theme: Serious Talk HARRY'S BEACH HOUSE "This is worst than I thought" Ephyra muttered as she sank into the couch. She dialed James number and he picked immediately. "Hi James" "Hello Ephyra.. How is work?" "Fine..how is Gideon?" "He's fine" "Can I ask you something?" She asked Ephyra checked to see if Harry was out of ear shot. He was in his room. "What's wrong?" "Actually..it not about me" she paused "Ephyra just tell me about it" "You see...I went to work with Mr Harry today and at the office a lady sprained her ankle and now she's feeling the ache in it" "How did she sprained her ankle?" "She fell on heels" Ephyra closed her eyes. She silently prayed that James won't ask too many question which might lead to him finding out she was injured. "And I guess she stressed it too much.. That must have caused the pain right?" "Yes" "So what's the..." "Tell her to go to the hospital to get an X - ray done on it to see if it broken" "Well..she doesn't want to go to the hospital that was why I called to see if you can suggest a quick remedy and what to relief the pain" James was silent. He wondered how fast Ephyra had started to have friends at work "Are you sure it not about..you?" "No..no..I'm fine..James" "Okay..if your so called friend doesn't want to go to the hospital then a massage would help a bit. Massage with a bone ointment, bandage around it and pain reliever. But I suggest that she visit the hospital" "A massage with bone, ointment, bandage and pain killer" "Yes" "Okay..I will relate everything to her" she bit her lower lip "Let's talk later..I'm still at work" "Take care" she hang up "You are an expert at telling lies" She heard his voice. Ephyra looked up and Harry was there looking straight at her. "Ahmm... what do... you need boss?" She stuttered "Are you okay?" Harry stared at her "Oh..yes..yes..I'm fine" "Come here" he ordered "Huh?" "You heard me" He gestured to her to come close. "Okay" she stood up gently. Ephyra closed her eyes as she felt the pain again. Harry watched her with his gaze on her ankle. "I don't remember seeing anyone with a broken ankle at the office" Ephyra was silent as she limped to him. She knew Harry had caught her making things up. She winced at the pain. Harry went to her before she could take another step. "I asked if you were fine at the office.. And you kept saying Yes" Harry said in a low tone "Yes..I'm fine" she said unsteadily. She moved away from him but he blocked her pathway. "How did you end up like this?" He asked with a concerned look Ephyra frowned at him. She hated the look of innocence on his face. "You don't know?" She asked He nodded "Then it better not to know" she shoved him aside and motioned towards the kitchen. Harry followed her and whirled her to face him. Ephyra yelped in pain at the swift movement. A tear slid down her cheeks. She had been trying hard not to cry ever since the pain started. It was hard to hold it back now that he was acting as if he was not the cause of the pain. "Let go of me!" She screamed and pushed him away. "You're.. So..so heartless! What's so wrong in trying to make a living in this world! I knew it wasn't going to be easy out here but I took the chance.. I knew working and living with you won't be an easy task but I still took the risk! And I've been trying my best to keep up with your toughness since I came around! And I promised myself that I wouldn't give up..but then what happened?! First I got buried in the snow and now this!" She pointed to her ankle. "All because of your silly toughness I got my ankle broken! Why?! And how did I end up like this? You say?" She hit his chest and Harry staggered backward. "Oh come on! Don't act like you don't know...and you didn't see me through your rear mirror after you pushed me this morning! You knew I was on heels but you pushed me because you didn't want me to ride in your car!" She threw her hands up in the air. "You're so selfish Mr Harry Jones! And you only care about yourself! And that's unfair!" She stopped Her chest rising and falling. Ephyra waited for Harry to say a word but he didn't. He moved away from her and walked to his bedroom. She exhaled roughly when she heard the door again. Harry came back with his jacket on. She met Harry's gaze and she saw the pain in his expression. Ephyra hated herself at that moment. She knew she had gone too far..to harsh on him with her words. And she regretted letting her anger take the best part of her seconds ago. Ephyra limped to the window and raised the curtain, Harry was driving out of the private driveway. She wondered where he was headed by this time of the night. And she panicked at the thought of Harry sleeping out tonight. What if Isobel calls to check up on him? She thought. Then she realized it was best to have ignored Harry than telling him the truth. Ephyra limped back to the couch and settled on it. *** *** *** Harry hit the steering as he drove down the silent and dark road. He looked down at his cellphone. Ephyra was calling him. Every of her words echoed in his head. At that moment she was talking,the impulse to reach for her and pull her to himself was there again. But he had held back to let her say all that was on her mind. Harry realized he wanted that contact with her and that was totally foreign to him and disturbing. That was the word he'd been looking for since the day he saw her. She had been distracting him. He felt guilty for causing her pain and he flinched at the pain he saw in her eyes. *** *** "It about to snow in -" She turned off the weather forecast news as she rushed to her room ignoring the pain in her leg. Harry had been gone for about an hour now and he hasn't returned home. He didn't even pick up his calls. Ephyra was worried about him. She grabbed her jacket and moved out of the house. "Where did he go?" Ephyra asked herself. And she panicked again at the thought of Harry getting buried in the snow. "If he is around...no one is going to save him" she said loudly. She dialed his number again. "Please pick up Mr Harry...I'm so sorry" she paced the porch slowly. "Oh my Sea please bring him back home safely" she paused "Maybe I should go and look for him. I can't keep standing here...but what if I get caught in the snow again" she thought deeply. Ephyra took a step and she realized her legs were weak "Damn it!" She muttered Then she sat on the stairs to wait for Harry. Minutes clicked by, Ephyra checked her watch 10:15pm. She looked up when she heard the sound of a car Horn. Harry was pulling into the driveway. She stood up but she couldn't walk to meet up with him. She noticed the small paper bag in his right hand. Ephyra saw the tension in his face,the way the lines at his mouth deepened when he came to her. Ephyra met his gaze and she began to say. "I'm..I'm sorry..I shouldn't have said anything about -" "Forget it" He shook his head "I'm sorry"she whispered again "Why are you outside?" He asked with a stern tone. And Ephyra looked up at him. "You..left without saying..anything ..and I became worried after I listened to the forecast...." "Can we go in now?" He asked "Of course" she said And when she thought he was going to leave her to find her way inside, Harry leaned closely. "You can lean me" he said Harry placed his hand around her shoulder "Thank You" she said And they both walked back into the house. Harry motioned to her to sit on the couch and she did. He sat on a pillow on the floor in front of Ephyra and crouched down on it. He dropped the paper bag on the floor beside him. "What are you trying to do?" She asked when he brought out a bandage,ointment and painkiller. "You're an expert on question asking" he said Moisture gathered in her eyes when she realized Harry had drove down to the mini mart to buy the things James prescribed to her. He held her ankle and twisted it gently. Ephyra held back a sob. "It won't take long" he said Ephyra nodded Suddenly she heard a crack in her ankle. Ephyra winced at the pain. He looked up at her and noticed the tears at the corner of her eyes. Harry flinched at the pain he saw there. And he hated himself at that moment for causing her pain. He dropped her leg gently on another pillow. "You're so distracting" he muttered without thinking but soon as the words came out he knew the truth in them. She'd been distracting him from the beginning and she hasn't stopped. He stood up and went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. He gulped down the whole glass before going back to Ephyra with another glass. She collected the glass and held it in her hands. She sniffed. "So you went to the Mini mart?" Harry settled back on the pillow "Questions again" he said "Yes..I like asking questions. And I get to point and I'm pretty curious" "So I bet when you were a kid,you distract people easily with your curiosity and questions" he said as he massaged her ankle gently "I bet you were annoyingly tight - lipped when you were a kid" she countered without missing a beat. Harry glanced up at her with a half smile on his lips. "No...I changed up" he replied "This is about your father right?" His smile disappeared. And she noticed it. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have mentioned it" "Forget it" he said Then he wrapped the bandage around her ankle. "I should be the one apologizing for hurting you" he said "It okay" "You were right about everything you said earlier...I am mean and selfish to my workers but.....I wasn't always like this..." Ephyra studied him closely. An image flashed through her mind. "Perhaps...have we met?" She asked "So you don't remember seeing me anywhere?" He asked She closed her eyes "I think you need to see a doctor" her eyes flare open. "No I don't like the smell of hospitals" "You've been there before?" "Yes..two months ago..then I ran out of the hospital" Harry wondered if she was insane back then... Running out of the hospital with no shoes. "I bumped into this weird guy" he met Ephyra's gaze. "He insulted me and James" She used the drug Harry dropped into her palms. Harry knew she was talking about him. Ephyra leaned forward "You look like that guy I saw that night" He nodded "I was the same guy you met that night" Her eyes widened in shock. She reached out to him and roughened his hair with her hands. His hair fell over his eyes. "Oh! You are the same guy!" She covered her mouth with her palms. "I..I..didn't realize it.." Harry stood up "Are you hungry?...or will you like to have a cup of coffee?" "Yes...and a cup of coffee" "I'll be right back" "Wait...can I come with you?' She blinked "Sure" he answered He went to her "What are you trying to do?" "What does it look like?" He lifted her up in his arms "Thanks" she said Harry dropped her in the kitchen chair gently. He went to the refrigerator and returned with a bowl in his hands to the gas cooker. Ephyra sat back in the chair just watching him. He found a pot and poured the stew in it. In moments the stew was heating. He pushed a coffee mug to her before he crossed to the sink and ran water over his hands. Then he dried them on a towel. She saw the way he took several deep breaths. The way the action stretched the fabric of the black shirt,then the way he dropped the towel on the counter and pressed both hands on the edge of the sink. He lowered his head a bit then with a harsh intake of air he straightened up. Ephyra hardly knew Harry Jones yet she sensed his pain and felt concerned for him. "Are you okay?' She asked He didn't respond "Are you tired?...or is there something bothering you?" He sighed and turned to her. His face passive. "My mom caused his death" he said finally "No...you are mistaken" "No...she picked up a fight with him. She accused him of having an affair with his secretary. He left....and we heard of his death. And in the end.. He was innocent. It was all her fault!" He clenched his fist She knew that,but it didn't stop her automatic sympathy at what he'd lost. "Oh...I'm sorry" she whispered "No apologies needed" Ephyra wanted to stop the whole conversation "Boss..I can tell you that the stew's going to burn if you don't stir it" she said looking past him at the stew and the steam rising from the pot. He turned,picked a spoon and stirred the stew. She stood up to get the dishes. The room seemed unsteady and her legs felt weak. She held onto the back of the chair. Harry looked at her for a long moment. "Sit..you're pale" he said. She wasn't going to argue,not when her legs felt like rubber. She sank back down in the chair. They ate in silence until Ephyra pushed her dish. "I'm full" she aid He was done too..she poured herself more coffee. She sipped the coffee as she met his gaze over the rim of the heavy mug. Harry cleared his throat. "I was going to ask you what you studied in college?" He said "Uhmm..." "Journalism?.. Or you do research writing.. Because from the way you asked questions,I'd say its a fitting field for you" he said "I'm not in that field. I am curious and I like finding answers for things" she didn't want to discuss it with him. She wasn't in any field. Ephyra only found herself in the Human World according to her Wish. It Was a shocking dream that she kept alive for years and it became a reality" Harry let it drop. He stood,picked up the dishes and took them to the sink. He rinsed the dishes quickly. She made to stand and head to bed but the minute she tried,her legs gave out. She reached for the table for support but Harry was there catching her by her arm,steadying her. He let her get her balance. "Take it easy" Ephyra knew she needed his support. She wished she could just move away from him but she couldn't stand without him at that moment. "My legs are weak" "Lean on me" he murmured He had his arm around her, supporting her the way he had that night she fell in the snow. She closed her eyes tightly, wanting desperately to say she could walk and he could let her go but that was a lie. Ephyra wanted him close. "Thanks Mr Harry" she whispered "You..know you can just call me Harry" She looked at him Harry helped her back to her bedroom "Climb in" he helped her into bed "Thank You" she said laying back on the bed and sighed with relief. She closed her eyes waiting while the world fell away. She felt him touch her cheek and she slipped into the softness but before Ephyra could let go she felt his lips brush hers, the mere suggestion of a kiss and then it was gone. A Wish? A Dream? Ephyra couldn't tell and in that moment between sleeping she didn't care. Harry had never taken advantage of a woman. He'd never kissed any woman. He'd never done anything that irrational. He was violating his well constructed rules when he kissed Ephyra. He didn't know where the kiss had come from or the need to get closer to her. An ache in his being,the solitude that had been his goals for years. He drew back,giving himself distance. He'd been alone for too long and he was losing it. He walked away and didn't look back as he exited the room. Wow! someone is in love! Harry: Mr Love Enemy ..now in love with Psycho Lady . What happened when Ephyra found out Harry kissed her? Find out in the Next episode! Thanks for Reading!

A WISH ??‍♂ Episode 15 Theme: Super Healing 2 HARRY'S BEACH HOUSE Ephyra awoke to a cool morning. She lay there in silence for a moment. She heard footsteps by her door. She got out of bed. She felt stronger now,her legs steady. Harry knocked on her door "Ephyra are you up?" "Yes..yes..come in Boss" He opened the door "How are you feeling now?" He asked "I'm stronger now" Then she suddenly remembered her ankle "My ankle..." She took steps forward "Huh? It doesn't hurt anymore" she said looking up at him. Harry shot her a confused look "You aren't feeling any pain in it?" He asked "Yes" She twisted her ankle. Harry grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the bed "Sit" he said and she obeyed him. Harry crouched down and removed the bandage. He examined the ankle by twisting it gently. "Does it hurt?" "No..no Pains" Harry was stunned. It was a fast healing! Last night he had thought of taking her to the hospital this morning to get an X - Ray done on her ankle. But, she was fine now. It would have taken days for her to heal if she had sprained it..and weeks if it was broken. He stood up. "I'm fine" she said He nodded "Come to the kitchen to have breakfast" he said "I will take a shower first" she said "Your choice" Harry moved out of the room. Then she remembered what she thought was a dream. Climbing into bed,Harry kissing her? No! That had to have been a dream. If not a dream, a hallucination..not reality. She went to the bathroom. Minutes later,she left her room and headed towards the kitchen to the smell of Bacon and egg frying. She stepped in and found Harry there. She stood in the doorway and watched him. Harry turned then and his eyes flicked over her. There was nothing in his expression that told her if anything had happened last night. "Sit down..." He said "I should be the one doing all this for you" she said "You can take over when you are perfectly fine" "I'm better" "You take the day off today" he said "No" "It's an order" he said There was no arguing with him,so she let it drop. They ate in silence. Ephyra picked on her food as she wondered if Harry had kissed her last night. No! Harry can't... Harry stood up and carried his dish to the sink. She picked her almost empty dish. "I'm so full" she said She went to Harry and rinsed the dishes as he washed them. They both wiped their hands on a towel. Ephyra needed to know what was true and what had been her imagination. "Won't you give James a call?..just to let him know you are doing Fine" "Of course...I need to thank him" she wet her lips "I need to ask you something" "Questions" She stared at him and said "Did you kiss me last night?" He was taken aback by her question. He leaned on the counter and folded his arms. "I'm disappointed" he whispered "Why?" "Well I always thought if I kissed a woman,she'd at least know she'd been kissed" She knew that was true...for a man like him. She knew she wasn't in her right mind and she had been imagining all sort of things. "Never mind" she said Ephyra would have left if he hadn't touched her upper arm. "You are serious, aren't you?" He asked. She stared at his bobbling Adams apple. There was no way she could meet his gaze. "Forget it" she said She would have made her way to the door but Harry stopped her again. The tips of his fingers went to her cheeks. The soft touch riveted her to the spot. "You don't remember right?' He stared at her. Her gaze still on his Adams apple. "Did..did you.. kiss me?" She asked "I kissed you" he said She exhaled, the sound unsteady. So it hadn't been been a dream. He'd kissed her. "Oh" she whispered "Oh yes" he replied in a low tone. Then he moved closer,so close she felt his breath on her skin. Then his lips were on hers. She couldn't move,she couldn't think of what to do, she just existed for that moment. He nibbled on her lower lip and then the contact were gone. She could see him again, moving back, his eyes looking into hers. She fought the urge to touch her lips as he was farther from her. "Now you'll remember" he whispered And even though he wasn't touching her now,it did nothing to lessen his impact on her. "You were leaving to call James" The mention of James made her stomach clench. Ephyra turned and headed for the door. He closed his eyes. He'd thought about kissing her from the first. Ephyra was in a relationship with another man. And it was pathetic. He shouldn't be kissing her but she could tip his world off balance. He'd apologize later. ♦ *******°°°°°°°°°°°******** "Where are you going?" She asked "I need to meet up with a clothe designer" he answered "Okay" She nodded They stood staring at each other in silence. He needed to apologize for kissing her. Harry itched the bridge of his nose. "I'm sorry" he apologize Ephyra looked away from him. Harry tucked his hands in his pocket. "I don't know if you still want to work for me. Ephyra I'd understand if you want to leave right now..for what I did earlier. Actually, you can leave...to save your relationship with James" She didn't respond "My mom would definitely understand if I explained things to her" My mom? Ephyra thought she had heard it wrongly. Harry called Isobel "Mom". He was changing. " I'm not in a relationship.." She said "I mean..James is not my boyfriend" His forehead creased "So who is he to you?" "He found me..I was buried in the sand by the beach. So he helped me to the hospital. I don't remember anything about my family..." She bit the inside of her cheeks. She hated the fact that she had to lie to Harry. "So James took me in"she said Harry felt the tinge of happiness within him. She wasn't in a relationship with James. Then he suddenly pulled her into his arms. A huge smile on his face. " Ephyra I am sorry for everything... The snow, your ankle...everything" Even though she was surprised by his action towards her,she didn't know when she wrapped her hands around him. And He hugged her tightly. "You want to stay..don't you?" He asked "I have a contract with your mom" "Please this is not about her" he whispered "Do you want me to stay?" She asked Harry was silent. He need not to find the answer, he already knew what his heart want. He pulled back to look at her. "Boss I will leave right away if -" His lips crashed on hers. His kiss was a little rougher than usual. He held on around her waist and the back of her neck. Ephyra met him eagerly not wanting to break the contact. He parted from her and placed his forehead on hers. "Stay...I want you to stay with me" he said He'd no idea why he was acting differently with Ephyra. She was the only woman ever to yell at him aside of his mother. And the only woman to move his heart in a strong way. He wondered why he was reacting so strongly to her being there. Ephyra was silent. "I won't stay too long" he said He kissed her forehead and moved out of the house. She sank onto the couch,looking down at the tips of her fingers. She tried to think of everything. Heat surged into her face and neck when she recalled the kisses with Harry Jones. She could hardly believe Harry asked her to stay with him...and the kisses. What does that mean? Her heartbeat rapidly and her middle clenched. Is this the way to Love? She thought deeply And she wished she could know. *** *** *** That was amusing! ??

A WISH ?‍♀ Episode 16 Theme: I Love You! MONDAY MORNING GOLDMYNES MODELLING AGENCY "Where is my desk?" Ephyra asked Harry. The room where her desk used to be was now empty. "You are not staying in that office anymore" Harry said "Why?" She asked He grabbed her wrist and pulled her down the long hallway leading to several offices. "Where are we going?" She asked He stopped "Questions again...don't you get tired of asking questions" He leaned in closely but Ephyra stepped backward. He did it again and she moved away "Someone's coming" she said Harry studied her. "Let's go" he ordered Two female models appeared in the hallway and they greeted him. He returned the greetings and walked off. Ephyra followed him. "Boss you haven't told me where..." He stopped in front of a door. "Ummm..." He opened the door and gestured to her to go in. "Me? Why should I go in first?" She asked Harry rolled his eyes "No questions" he pushed her into the room and closed the door. Ephyra gasped in shock. The room was large and well decorated. "This is our new office" Harry informed She glanced around the large room. A big desk and swivel chair with Harry's name in a glassy object. "Harry Jones: CEO of G.M.A" on the right side there was another desk and chair with her name in the same object. "Ephyra Adams: Secretary" "Our office?" She repeated "Yes..that's your desk" he pointed "But..but why are we sharing the same office?" She asked Harry scratched his ear as he thought of what to say to her. He had arranged it like that so he won't be far away from her. He wanted to see her always..just sitting and watching her closely. "Your previous secretary was staying in another room" she countered Harry went to his desk. "Its a new system...CEO and Secretary must stay in the same room" He said Ephyra lifted her eyebrows. "Why?" "For..safety.." He said "Safety? It not as if I'm your bodyguard" Ephyra muttered "Pardon?" "Huh?..nothing I was just...talking to myself..." Her voice trailed and she avoided his gaze. "You don't like your desk? I can have them change it to your taste" Harry sat in his chair. Ephyra went to her desk. "I like it...I mean it nice..." She stuttered She sat back in her chair and clicked on the system on her desk. "Press that remote" he pointed to a black device on her desk. "Press the red button" he said. She picked it up and did as he ordered. The Tv in the room which she hasn't noticed came on. "You can see anyone outside through the Tv" "Wow..." She whispered "When did you set up this whole place?" "Over the weekend" "Oh! So those times you were leaving home to see a clothe designer..you were actually busy here too" "I met with the Clothe designer Ria Robert and at the same time I was working with the decorators" "Ria Robert" "Yes she's a famous designer. You can check her out on the system. There are other designers too, Brian Clothing, Bella Fashion House..etc" Ephyra focused on her system. "Password 5202" he said She entered it and it unlocked the system. "She's the first on the list...I mean Ria Robert Couture" "Yes that is because we are working on a project together. I'll tell you about the project later" "Okay..." She kept checking the list on the system. "I'll send my schedules to your system" "Okay" He clicked on his system and sent the files to her system. "Got it!" She said Harry relaxed in his chair. He wondered why he was reacting to her being there with him. He'd no idea why Ephyra affected him strongly. He found himself smiling as he watched her. *****♦*****♦***** It was time to head home after a long day at work. "Let's have dinner before heading home" Harry said "I don't think that's a good idea Boss" "Why?" "We can have dinner at home instead of dropping by at a restaurant" She picked up her handbag on the desk. Harry went to her. "You don't want to go out with me right?" He asked Ephyra was silent She wasn't interested in going out with Harry to avoid gossips flying around the office. Everyone was already whispering behind her back. They were surprised by Harry's decision of having his secretary in the same room with him. So they got to thinking "there was something fishy between them". Harry studied her expression. "I'll understand if you don't want to go out with me" Harry said in a low tone. He started the walk to the door. "Wait.." She went to him "Don't misunderstand me" Harry tucked his right hand into his pocket. "Boss..you know you are a star..people will see us together and get the wrong idea" She explained without meeting his gaze. "So what if I change my appearance? Will you come with me?" He asked She thought for a second. She knew Harry won't be happy if she turned him down. She nodded "Of..course" she answered His face brightened immediately. "How..how will you change your appearance?" "My hairstyle..and -" He walked back to his desk. Harry opened his drawer and brought out an eyeglass. "I look different on eye glasses" "So what about your hair?" "You have a comb in your handbag?" "A hairbrush" She opened her bag and gave him the hairbrush. "Help me out..I don't have a mirror" Ephyra rolled her eyes. She gestured to him to sit on her chair. She brushed his hair. His hair fell on his eyes. Harry wore the eyeglass. "How do I look?" Harry asked He opened his eyes full and her breathe caught - they were the most beautiful pair of eyes she had ever seen. His eyes stared intensely at her while a smirk played on his lips. His lips were full and plump. Ephyra restrained herself from touching his face. "Nice Boss" she saluted Harry was beautiful! ? They both walked down the silent hallway. Harry stopped in track on seeing Shawna Brown. "Hello Harry" She started towards them "Hi Shawna" he greeted her Her gaze drifted to Ephyra. Harry held Ephyra's hand. "Shawna meet Ephyra" "Your maid?" She said with a smile. Ephyra looked up at Harry. "She is not my maid" Harry said with a frown. Ephyra tried to let go of his hand but he held on. Shawna referring to her as a maid didn't make her happy. And she disliked Shawna immediately. "Why are you here?" Harry asked in a rough tone. He knew someone must have informed Shawna about Ephyra being his maid. Eleanor or Mom? He thought "I'm here to see you" she said "Well...oh! we were heading out to have dinner" He said Shawna stretched her hand towards Ephyra for an handshake. "I am Shawna Brown" she said with a false smile on her lips. Ephyra shook hands with her. Then Shawna turned to Harry. "Can we talk before you leave?" Harry checked his watch. It was 6:30pm. "I..I think I need to use the toilet Boss" Ephyra said before Harry could turn Shawna down. She wanted to be away from Shawna cause her intense stare made her uncomfortable. "Excuse me.." She said and stalked off Shawna stepped closer to him. "You didn't give me a call ever since I dropped by at your place" she said "I've been really busy" "Busy with work...or her?" She pointed towards the direction Ephyra went. "What do you mean?" "I'm just curious..." "Shawna I've been busy...that's all" "I met with Eleanor yesterday" "So she told you about Ephyra?" "Yes" "Oh! I see" He nodded "Is it true?" "What?" "You're in love with her?" He stared intensely at her. And he said "Yes" Anger crashed over her as she felt his word pierce her Heart. "I thought you never believed in love" "Uhmm....i suppose so" "So what made you change your mind?" He didn't respond "Ephyra?" She asked "I fell in love..like for the first time I was greatly affected by a woman. I couldn't believe what my heart was telling me at first but somehow I did...and now my heart belongs to her. He confessed "She won your heart" He nodded Then she wondered how Ephyra was able to make Harry fall in love with her. It was something she wasn't able to achieve when they were together. And even after they reunited after 2years. Harry simply ignored her after she admitted that she was in love with him. "So what about our last discussion?" She asked "I gave you my answer Shawna" He paused "We can't be together" "Why?" "I don't have any feelings for you. And I consider you just as a friend" He said calmly She nodded slowly "Okay..I understand" "Thanks" he said Shawna faked a smile. "I'll go ahead now" "Bye" Harry said She walked away in the same direction Ephyra went. Harry waited for Ephyra's return. Minutes clicked by and she showed up with a sad look on her face. Harry was leaning up against a wall. "Hey..are you okay?" He asked "Yes" she managed to smile "Can we leave now?" He asked "Please...can we head home...instead of... going to a restaurant?" She stuttered "Why?" He covered the gap between them "I'm..I'm a bit tired" Harry lifted his eyebrows "Are you okay?.." He placed his hand on her forehead "Yes..yes..I'm just tired" "Then let's go and see a doctor" "No..no..I'll be fine with a good night rest...or I'll just call James" His expression changed at the mention of James. He stepped back,away from her. "Okay..let's go home" he said in a low tone. ***********♦********** The drive him was silent,each lost in thought. Harry wondered why Ephyra had changed her mind about going out with him. He had no idea why she was quiet and the look on her face gave him concern. Ephyra went straight into the kitchen to prepare dinner. He wanted to know what was bothering her so he followed her. "What do you want to cook?" He asked "Noodles" she said Ephyra brought out packs of Noddles. He watched her as she kept bringing out Noddles. "Don't you think that's too much?" He said She didn't realize that she had taken more than the usual pack for dinner. Ephyra was distracted and absentminded. Ten minutes later they settled for dinner. Harry watched Ephyra as she picked on her food. She was distant. He knew that there was something bothering her but he couldn't figure out what it was exactly. Ephyra was lost in thought. Shawna words echoed on her mind. She closed her eyes as she tried to stop them but the words kept flooding her head. FLASHBACK Shawna made her way to the toilet. She met Ephyra stepping out of the room. Ephyra's gaze met hers. "Now what are you feeling like?" Shawna said Ephyra was confused "Lemme guess..on top of the world?" She chuckled "What are you saying?" Ephyra asked "Oh come on stop acting..." "I don't -" "Are you happy now?" She asked again "What do you mean?" "Mrs Isobel hired you to move in with Harry and work as his maid but you tried to make him fall in love with you" she said "You're mistaken" Ephyra countered "You seduced him thinking he was going to fall for you but Harry resisted you. Who do you think you are?" She whispered Ephyra didn't respond "Listen to me..Harry can't love you because you guys live in separate worlds. He's rich and you are poor. He's a star and you're just his maid, a nobody. Ladies like you are called Gold diggers and opportunists. Harry and I are bounded by promise to each other.. Our promise to love forever. So stop being a slut and stay away from him You don't deserve someone like him. So Miss Maid look for a man who befit you..probably a driver or a security guard" Shawna said with a wicked smile. She was happy that she had hurt Ephyra with her harsh words. Ephyra was stunned. She couldn't move or think of what to say or do to Shawna. She moved to Ephyra and place a paper in her palm. "This is enough to make you stay away" Shawna said She walked away.. Her footsteps echoing in Ephyra's ears. She watched Shawna until she couldn't see her again. Her gaze flicked down at the paper in her hand. It was a cheque.. $10,000. She leaned closer on the wall as tears burned down her cheeks. Ephyra was heartbroken. She lasted two minutes in tears before going back to the toilet to wash her face. FLASHFORWARD Shawna was right. She and Harry lived in separate worlds. She was a fool to think Harry loved her and that she was starting to feel something for him too. Ephyra wondered why she didn't think Harry could be in love with another woman secretly even though his mom had said he doesn't believe in love. It was shocking to find out that Harry was bounded to Shawna by love. They were both in love. A touch on her skin stunned her out of thought. She met Harry's gaze. His hand on hers. He sat in front of her looking into her eyes. Then she realized he had finished his food while she was deep in thought. She swallowed hard. Harry cleared his throat. "Uhmm.. I apologize on Shawna behalf for calling you a maid..." He said The mention of Shawna made her clench her fist. She avoided his gaze in the process. "She..she was right" she muttered "No" he said "I'm your maid..and I think it best to stop treating me like I am more than a maid to you. Look I am your employee and I have no expectation of anything from you" She bit her lower lip to hold back the sob in her throat. "Believe me I am not a Gold digger or an opportunist and I am not trying to seduce you so you could love me" She tried to defend herself from every word Shawna said to her. Harry was out of chair before she knew it. "Relax..." He whispered "Now tell me what's bothering you?" She nodded slowly She didn't want to tell Harry anything even if it pained her to find out he was in love with Shawna. But why did he ask her to stay with him when he had another woman in his mind? He settled in the chair close to hers. He held her hands and squeezed it gently. "You..." She withdrew and stood up. Deciding that she would call Isobel tonight and inform her that it was over. She was ready to cancel the contract. She would stay away from Harry to avoid troubles with Shawna. Ephyra knew she'd tried her best to help Isobel. Since Harry now recognizes Her as his mom. She would tender her resignation to the department not Harry..and then leave without a goodbye. Then everything would be over. She would be fine..Ephyra concluded "Good night" she said She would have left if he hadn't touched her wrist. She didn't look down at him. "I used to think love never existed..until I met you. Ephyra, I know this might sound crazy but I think.." He stopped and stood in front of her. "I'm in love with you" he confessed A tear slid down her cheek as she glanced up at him. Ephyra was surprised. "I don't need three months or anytime to figure my feelings, I know it and I'm sure of it" "What..what about Shawna?" She closed her eyes hoping to hear the worst. "She's just a friend. I don't have anything with her aside the fact that we studied together in the same college. And she was aware that I don't believe in love" He explained Ephyra felt like a fool. She was embarrassed by the decision she had made in her heart. The decision to stay away from him. He cupped her face in his hands. "Listen to me..you made me believe in love. I don't know how..but I guess it was because you were determined to stay around despite everything I did to you. You saw me at my worst but you didn't give up.." He whispered "Did you make any promise to Shawna?" "What promise?" "Love" "No Ephyra none of that happened. And as a matter of fact I made it clear to Shawna that we can't be together. Today I admitted to her that I'm in love with you" What?! Her jaw dropped slightly. Ephyra thought deeply and it struck her. Shawna said those words to her because Harry was in love with Ephyra. And he couldn't love Shawna in return the way she had expected. Ephyra pulled away from him. She recalled that she was here to reunite Isobel with her son..and not to fall in love with him. "You shouldn't do this..." She said He placed a finger on her lip "I'm not going to give up on you too" he said "It doesn't matter if you are here for a purpose of connecting me to my mom..or that you are working for at my office. I want to be with you..and that's why I asked you to stay with me" He hugged her. Then she began to sob in his chest. And she held him tightly. "Shsh.." "I feel..the same.. too..but it isn't right.." She drew back when she calmed. She brought out the cheque from her Jean pocket. "What is this?" He collected it. Harry recognized the writing on the cheque. "Shawn gave this to you?" "Yes" "When?" "I guess it was after she had the discussion with you" "Why?" He was confused "So I could stay away from you" "What?!" He gasped in shock "And you accepted it? Ephyra were you willing to leave me just like that?" He asked "I'm sorry but she gave me a good reason to stay away" Then she realized how foolish the reason was to her. It was her turn to hug him so she did. Ephyra hugged him tightly. "What reason?" He asked Then she explained everything to him. Harry exhaled roughly when she ended. He reached out to wipe her wet chins. "We're just friends. I swear to you I've never promised her or any woman 'Love'. We were apart for 2years..until she showed up here again claiming that she moved to USA because of me" "She loves you.." She whispered "Yes..and Eleanor too" he said "Eleanor?" "Yes but I already made it clear that I don't love them" She was silent "Are you doubting me?" He asked "No..no..I believe you" she said "So are you good now?" He said She nodded He leaned forward and placed a kiss on her forehead. ** ** ** Shawna again?! ? OMG! ? Now they know that they are in love! What next?! Read the Next Episode! Thanks for Reading!

A WISH ??‍♂ Episode 17 Theme: Connection TUESDAY MORNING Jacob Hospital "How are you feeling?" Doctor May asked Gideon "I'm better" Gideon said James placed his hands on Gideon's forehead. He was rushed to the hospital from school. It was said that Gideon had collapsed on the football field while he was practicing with his team. "Why didn't you tell your coach that you weren't feeling well?" May asked "Coach Ben hates excuses. He won't listen.." "So you just played without informing him about your health?" James said "Yes" he answered "Please call Miss Ephyra" James exchanged glances with Doctor May. "Why?" May asked "What has Ephyra got to do with..." "I want to see her" Gideon cuts in "I can't call Ephyra. You know she's very busy at work" James said "Yes I know but -" James phone beeped at that moment. He looked down at his phone. "She's the one calling?" Gideon asked "Yes" And he picked it "Hello Ephyra" "How are you doing James?" "I'm fine" "Where are you?" She asked "At the Hospital" "Gideon's at school right?" "No" He looked at Gideon "Why?" "He's not feeling well" "What happened to him?" She was worried "Actually he had fever last week so I treated him. Today he went to school and collapsed during football practice" "Oh my goodness, James why didn't you tell me Gideon wasn't feeling well when I called you last week" "I didn't want you to worry about him. And you were busy at work so I just thought telling you would bother you" "James you should have at least tell me about it. Somehow I would have make out time to check on him" She rubbed her forehead "Can I talk to him?" She asked "Yes" He handed the phone to Gideon "Hello Gideon" she said "Miss Ephyra" "James said you aren't feeling well" "Yes..." "I'm sorry for not coming around to see you guys" "I understand" "I'm getting paid soon so hopefully I would come around tomorrow" "Can't you make it here today?" "Except if I plead with Mr Harry to give me a day off" "So will you come?" She was silent Ephyra thought if Harry would give her the day off today to visit her family. What about Isobel? The contract was that after one week she would visit her family and get paid If she sees any changes in her son. "I'll try Gideon" "Okay..I'll be expecting you" He said Gideon missed her! And he couldn't wait to see her. He gave the phone Back to James. "Hello?" "I can hear you Ephyra" "James I'll talk to Harry to let me come home today" "Ephyra you don't have to breach your contract with Mrs Isobel because of Gideon" "The chairlady will understand" "Okay" "Bye" Then the line dropped ♦ ••• ••• ♦ GOLDMYNES MODELING AGENCY Ephyra moved out of the office to look for Harry. He was at work with a professional Photographer. The Models were shooting a commercial for a cosmetic company. She would explain to Harry and probably ask him to keep it away from his mom. No...it won't get to Isobel finding out she was seeing her family. She focused on her phone to dial Madam Isobel's number. It was best to inform her to avoid troubles. "Hi Ephyra" someone greeted She glanced up and Eleanor was there. Ephyra stare at her and mumbled something indifferently. She recalled the day Harry introduced Eleanor White to her. She was like Shawna. Eleanor didn't stop glaring at her. She didn't know what they had discussed but Eleanor left with annoyance on her face that day. Eleanor leaned forward. "You seem to be the main talk in this agency" she said Ephyra said nothing,hoping she would just go away. She knew Eleanor felt silly the way she kept staring at her. "I don't see anything special about you" Eleanor said "Please excuse me" Ephyra said "Where are you going?" "I'd rather leave than stand here to listen to your nonsense" Ephyra said "What?!" Her jaw dropped slightly "You heard me" Ephyra said "Don't you dare talk to me like that again" She slapped Ephyra Ephyra tried to slap Eleanor but she grabbed her wrist. Ephyra whipped it away and slapped Eleanor. "Don't you dare touch me again!" She said with a hard expression on her face. Ephyra walked away. "Hey..." Shawna called out in anger and grabbed her wrist which had the bracelet. She tightened her hold on it. And then suddenly,it shined. Ephyra felt the shock of wave of power within her as her eyes shone brightly. Eleanor was scared! She let go quickly and stepped backward. "What are you?" She asked Ephyra yelped in pain. The pain was horrid and sharp in her heart. She tried to hide her face from Eleanor. Her breathe caught and she fell to the ground. Eleanor made an attempt to run but then she heard footsteps and voices in the corridor. Harry showed up with another young Man. "Somebody help!" She screamed when she saw Harry. His gaze fell on Ephyra's body on the floor. The bracelet wasn't shinning anymore. "Ephyra!" He rushed towards her. She was unconscious. "What did you do to her?!" He snarled at Eleanor "Nothing...she..she was..fine..just now" she said shakily "So what happened?!" He grabbed her clothes and tightened it around her neck. "Her..her eyes...and that bracelet... shinned..." She stuttered in fear. Harry pushed her away and she fell to the ground. Hot tears burned down her cheeks. He scooped Ephyra up in his arms. He prayed that she was fine as he drove down to the hospital. ♦ °°°° ♦ °°°° MERWORLD THRONE HALL Kenan the Sea wizard sat in front of the king's throne as he worked his magic under the Sea. "Is it working?" Oceanus asked when Kenan opened his eyes "Yes my Lord" he bowed "What's going to happen to her in that world?" "She would be weak" "She has been gone for too long" Tethys said "Close to 8months" Azizi Added "What do we have to do again?" Oceanus asked "We'll keep connecting with her through the bracelet since it was the only belonging she took to that world" He was able to connect with her because of the bracelet. It belonged to the Sea. "When can we Connect with her again?" Tethys asked "I'll let you know my Queen" Kenan bowed "Wait won't she get hurt?" Azizi asked "The princess is alive" Kenan answered "The bracelet would weaken her and she would be out for days in that world. But The princess won't be able to save herself" "So who would save her?" Oceanus said "The Desire to return home" Kenan said He stood up to leave "Thank You Kenan" Oceanus Said "Long Live the King of Merillia Kingdom" He bowed slightly Kenan walked away "Oh Azizi thanks for giving Almeta that bracelet" Tethys said "It has helped us to locate our daughter" Oceanus smiled at his wife. "I hope she comes back soon" Azizi Said ♥ ∆∆ ∆∆ ♥ HUMAN WORLD Jacob Hospital "Doctor Brandon came out of the room with a nurse behind him. Harry went to him. "How is she doing? " he asked "You can leave Nurse Adams" Brandon said She was the same Nurse Ephyra had copied her name. "Okay Sir" she walked off "What's wrong?" Harry panicked at the disturbed look on Brandon's face. "The Lady you brought in..." He paused "Tell me what's going on Doctor?" Harry said after a long silence. He was scared of losing Ephyra. "She's strange" Doctor Brandon said Harry lifted his brow "What do you mean?" "Come with me" Brandon said Harry followed him inside the ward. Ephyra was laying lifeless on the bed. "Look at this..." Brandon pointed to the machine reading her heartbeat. It buzzed and stopped. It wasn't moving,the lines on the machine was straight. "She doesn't have a heartbeat" Brandon said Harry knew what it meant,he rushed to the bed. "Ephyra!" He shook her She didn't respond "Harry..." The Doctor tried to hold him. Ephyra wasn't breathing. She was dead! But he couldn't accept it. Tears burned down his cheeks "No..no..she can't be dead" he hugged her tightly She was pale and cold in his arms. "She was breathing a while ago.." Brandon said "Listen to me Harry.. You have to know something is strange about this lady" he whispered He was confused "Please do something to revive her" he pleaded Harry felt the pain in his heart again. The pain of losing a loved one. "Please.. come.. back.. to me" he said shakily Seconds clicked by and he held on to her tearily. "Yes.. she came back!" Brandon said in a surprised tone. Harry looked at him. He pointed to the machine again. Her heartbeat was steady. "She's alive" Harry looked at Ephyra "That's how she has been doing since you brought her in. Her temperature is cold,she's pale and it hard to check her pulse but she's alive" "That's impossible" "Yes..but It seems she's fighting death" Brandon said Harry hugged her "You'd be okay" he whispered to her "Let her rest now" Brandon said Harry lay her hack on the bed "When would she regain consciousness?" He asked "It depends if she wants to stay alive" "Okay.." Harry said "I'll come around to check on her later" Brandon moved out of the room. Harry held her hands in his and kissed them "Please stay alive for me" he muttered The bracelet shined but soon the light faded.. And Harry thought he had imagined it. Ephyra mumbled in her unconscious state. He focused on hearing what she was saying but he couldn't make out her words. His phone buzzed. He took it out of his pocket. It was Isobel. "Hello Mom" he said in slow tone. The word 'Mom' felt strange on his lips. Isobel thought she had heard wrongly. Harry called her mom. Isobel thought that she was hallucinating. "Harry is that you?" "Yes Mom" She was happy! "How is she doing?" She asked with a concerned tone "She's unconscious" Harry had called her the moment he arrived at the hospital. "I'm scared.." His voice trailed "She'll be fine" she assured him Harry wiped the tear that strayed down his cheek. "Can I ask you something?" Isobel asked "Of course" "Perhaps.. Do you love Ephyra?" "Yes" His answer was immediate and sharp. "Well I'd known from the start that you'd end up falling for her" "She's different" he said as he looked at her on the bed. "So have you confessed to her?" "Yes Mom" "Really?! When?" She asked Isobel was stunned "Yesterday" "Now don't tell me you've shared a kiss" Isobel giggled "Yes" a smile formed iyn his lips at the image of him kissing Ephyra in his mind's eye. "Oh!" She huffed "Then I guess..we have a lot to talk abut if you're willing to talk to me as your mother" Isobel said in a low tone Harry was silent as he thought of his father. "Forgive me son" she apologized "I regretted my action towards your late father. I'm still carrying that guilt in my heart..and I don't think I can let go if you don't forgive me. I know it was hard on you when you lost your father in that crash..it pains me too Son" Isobel wiped the tears dropping down her cheeks. Harry sensed her pain. He realized his father's death wasn't her intention. He was mad at her for accusing his father unjustly. He knew someday he'd forgive his mother. And now was the right time to forgive and let go of everything. It was time to reconcile with his mother. "I forgive you" he said "Thank you Son" she sniffed Harry was silent. Harry didn't know what else to say to his mom. "I'll be at the hospital soon" She said "Okay" He ended the call Isobel was super excited! She couldn't stop the tears spilling down her cheeks. It was tears of joy. She almost busted of happiness! And she couldn't wait to see her son..to hug him just like she used to when he was a little boy. At that moment she was grateful to Ephyra for reconnecting her to Harry in just one week. She thought of how to repay Ephyra for the great help. And she prayed over And over again for Ephyra to regain consciousness soon. ∆∆∆ ∆∆∆ ∆∆∆ I hope you enjoyed reading this episode? Wanna hear from you guys via comment section!

A WISH ?‍♀ Episode 18 Theme: Love ? JACOB HOSPITAL Thursday Morning Ephyra opened her eyes to the bright sunlight filtering through the window. The sun reflected off the wall adjacent to it. She observed her surrounding through her blurred vision. She blinked as she refilled her lungs with cool air. She closed her eyes slowly for a moment and lay very still on the bed. White Wall! She knew where she was.. hospital! How did she ended up there? Memories flashed through her mind. She remembered everything. Calling James,deciding to take the day off to see Gideon, talking to Eleanor,her bracelet and it ended. She opened her eyes slowly trying to focus. Harry! She turned her head,she looked beyond and she saw him. Harry was there,laying on a couch with his eyes closed. "Harry" she called out Harry was fast asleep. He hasn't been able sleep since Ephyra passed out. He had only managed to drift into sleep five minutes ago after watching Ephyra through the night. She felt stronger now as she shifted on the bed to test her body. Then she got out of bed and went to the couch which was three feet from the bed. She studied him. And she knew he hasn't slept in a while due to the dark circles under his eyes. Then she wondered how long had she been out? She looked down at the bracelet as she recalled the look on Eleanor's face at the sight of the shinning bracelet and her eyes. She had to stop Eleanor from telling anyone what she saw that day. Then she remembered the Golden rule. She could make Eleanor forget what she saw.. A friendly handshake would do the work. At that moment,Harry opened his eyes. His gaze met hers and he sat up quickly. "Ephyra.." He stood up and touched her. She was Alive! He pulled her into his arms and her hands wrapped around him. He didn't know how long he held her in his arms,just whispering to her. Telling her how scared he was when he saw her in the hallway,when her heart stopped beating and while she was unconscious. He admitted that he'd feared that he was going to lose her and he pleaded with her to stay with him. Harry drew back to look at her. He pulled her gently to the bed and sat beside her. He grazed her cheeks with his knuckles. "Tell me what happened between you and Eleanor" He said "How long have I been out?" She asked "Two days" he said Two days?! She passed out on Tuesday Morning and.. "Today is Thursday?!' She asked with a wide eye "Yes Ephyra the doctor couldn't tell what actually made you unconscious. I tried to get in touch with Eleanor to find out what she did to you but I couldn't reach her" "You see..we had a fight that morning.." She said "Why?" "Well..I called james after I finished sending out the invitation. So he told me Gideon wasn't feeling well and then I decided to look for you so I could take the day off to see Gideon at the hospital. But then I met Eleanor in the hallway.." She paused "What did she do to you?" "She said I was the talk to the agency. Believe me Harry I tried to avoid her by keeping quiet but she also said there was nothing special about me. And somehow she hit me" "Eleanor hit you?" His fist balled automatically "Yes..and I slapped her in return" "Then how did you pass out?" Ephyra thought for a second. She knew it was the power in the bracelet that weakened her. And there was no way she could tell Harry about it. Telling him would reveal her identity. "She said something about...your bracelet" Harry said "What did she say?" Ephyra asked "It..it shinned...I don't really understand what she was trying to say.." Ephyra pondered about the bracelet. The sudden weakness and unconsciousness. What does that mean? A Call Home?! Ephyra thought deeply No it shouldn't be! She wasn't ready to go back to the MERWORLD. Harry was disturbed,he fought the urge to tell her what happened on Tuesday. Strange things he couldn't understand.. Those words she mumbled in her sleep and her heartbeat dropping at every minute almost giving him a heart attack. And the bracelet on her wrist. "What's with this bracelet?" He blurted Harry held her wrist but Ephyra withdrew quickly. "Is it magical?" "No..no Magic doesn't exist..right?" "Yeah it doesn't exist..but your bracelet is.." His voice trailed "Where is my cellphone" Ephyra tried to change the topic. Harry let it drop. He stood up and took out her phone from his holdall bag. "Here.." He gave it to her "I want to call James" She sounded like she was asking for his permission to call James. Harry nodded and settled on the couch. "Uhmm..what's the name of this hospital?" She asked "Jacob Hospital" "Jacob? James works here" She said with a smile beaming across her face. "I should call him..he and Gideon must have expected me on Tuesday" She dialed James number and he picked on the third ring. "Hello?" "Hi James.. It's me Ephyra" She bit her lower lip "Yeah I know" he said coldly The door opened and doctor Brandon stepped in. "I'm sorry for not showing up on Tuesday" "Can we talk some other time. Ephyra I'm busy at work" James said He sounded like he wasn't interested in talking to her. "Okay.." He ended the call before she could finish the word. She wasn't happy by James response to her. "Good Morning Ephyra" Brandon greeted She sat back on the bed. "Morning Doctor.." "Brandon" he said "How are you feeling?" "I'm fine" she said He exchanged glances with Harry. "I can see that your color is better now" He checked her pulse. It was steady and normal. "Good" He murmured "Can I go home now?" "Yes..Mr Harry come with me to sign the discharge papers" "Wait do you know Doctor James Albert?" She asked "Surgeon James" "Yes Why?" "Do you know if he's currently at the hospital?" "He's off duty to take care of his little brother" He said She could hardly believe James had lied to her. He had said he was busy at work whereas he was at home talking care of Gideon. And why was he acting differently on phone? "Do you know him?" "Yes" "Okay...Miss You have a nice bracelet" Brandon said looking at Harry. She stretched out her hand towards him. "Nice to meet you Doctor" The look on his face was that of shock. Ephyra sensed he wanted to say more to her. And he looked at her as if she had grown four head. He shook hands with her. She wiped apart of his memory which concerns her in the process. Then Brandon moved out of the room. Harry hated the sad look that replaced her face after Brandon exited the room. He stood up. "He lied to you?" He said And she nodded "I think he's mad at me for not showing up on Tuesday" She said soberly "You can go home and see them after I sign your discharge papers" She looked at him. There was no smile on his face. "Is that okay by you?" "Yes if that's what would make you happy" He was concerned about her happiness. He had her in his heart. Ephyra thought. "Thanks" she said before he made his way out to the door. Harry signed the paper and he drove Ephyra to James apartment before heading home to rest. ♦ GOLDMYNES COMPANY ISOBEL'S OFFICE "Excuse me Ma'am" Tracy said Isobel looked up from the paper works on her desk. "Yes Tracy" "Miss Eleanor is here" Tracy said "Let her in" "Okay Ma'am" Tracy went back to her office. "You can go in Miss Eleanor" Eleanor went in "Good Morning Mrs Isobel" Eleanor greeted Isobel sat back in her chair. "How may I help you?" Isobel said with a serious look "Won't you offer me a seat?" Eleanor said "Suit yourself" Isobel said She already knew what Eleanor did to Ephyra. Harry told her during his drive home. "You've changed towards me" Eleanor said in a low tone "Why on earth did you go after Ephyra? And not just that you even tried to get rid of her so you could be with Harry right?" Isobel said "No you are mistaken" "Really? Then tell me how she ended up in a hospital" "I..I don't know..." Her voice trailed "Two days Eleanor, she was unconscious for two days" Isobel emphasized Eleanor was silent. She had no idea why Ephyra ended up in the hospital. "Ephyra said you picked up a fight with her" "Yes...but I didn't do anything bad to her" "Did you hit her?" "Yes..and she hit me back" Serves you right! Isobel said to her herself. "Listen to me that Lady isn't human" Eleanor Said "Why did you say that?" "I saw her...that bracelet on her wrist is magical" "What do you mean?" Eleanor explained to her. Isobel thought she was crazy after she ended the story. "Are you okay?" She asked "Yes..yes I'm fine. I know it sounds crazy and weird but believe me that lady is strange. She shouldn't be with Harry" She said "Oh I see... Now I understand. You think Ephyra isn't from this world" "Yes" She held a pleading look,hoping Isobel would believe her. Everyone she told the story thought she was nut. Her mom thought Eleanor was losing her mind. "Try asking her about that bracelet" She stood up to leave "I'm leaving the country" Eleanor said "Why?" "I want to be away from Harry or else I might end up hurting the one he loves" She sounded resigned "Okay...Safe trip" Isobel said "I just hope that you act on what I told you about Ephyra" She moved out of Isobel's office. Isobel never believed her. She thought Eleanor was making things up to make her fire Ephyra. "Hello Precious" she said "Hi Isobel" "Eleanor just left my office" "Did you notice anything strange about her" Precious asked "Why did you say that?" "Well I think she's losing her mind slowly" "What?" "She keeps saying silly things like a Lady close to Harry being a witch or a weirdo" "Yeah she said the same to me" "Do you think Eleanor needs to check into a mental home?" Precious asked "Try to talk to a psychiatrist about her case" "I'll do that but she insist that she's leaving the country" Precious doesn't know about the deal so it was best to keep her in the dark. "Probably for a vacation" "She didn't disclose the country.." "Uhmm precious I'll give you a call later" "Wait will you be at Karissa daughter's wedding?" "Yes" "Okay let's meet up on Friday to treat our hair and do our nails too. You know I have the best stylist.." Isobel rolled her eyes "I'll give you a call Precious" She ended the call. ••• ••• JAMES APARTMENT "what's wrong?" James asked Gideon "I'm worried about Miss Ephyra?" "I told you to forget about her" He said with annoyance in his tone "Why are you so mad at her?" Gideon asked "She isn't coming back to us..accept it" James said "Why? Did she tell you that?" James avoided his gaze "No" "Miss Ephyra would definitely come back to us because she doesn't have anyone except us" "She has Harry Jones now" "He's her boss..and we're her family" "She isn't an Albert" Gideon stared at his brother in disbelief "You are like this because she didn't show up on Tuesday" Gideon said He didn't respond "She wasn't specific.. Miss Ephyra only said that she was going to plead with her boss to let her see us. So maybe he didn't give her the chance or probably Mrs Isobel hasn't seen the change she wanted in her son" "And she couldn't make it" James blurted "She didn't even bother to give us a call" he gritted "She must have a good reason..why don't you call her?" He was interrupted by the sound of the doorbell. "I'll answer it" Gideon stood up and went to the door. He opened it and Ephyra was there. "Miss Ephyra!' He threw his hands around her "Hi Gideon" She met James gaze but he looked away quickly. Gideon pulled her back from her. "Why didn't you show up on Tuesday?" He led her to the couch "Forgive me Gideon..I was.." "Busy at work" James snorted Ephyra looked at him. His expression unreadable. He stood up and motioned towards the door to leave. He wanted to be away from her. "Wait..James.." She stopped him He stopped at the door but he didn't turn to face her. "I know you are mad at me because I didn't show up at the hospital. Believe me I wanted to talk to Harry until someone picked up a fight with me and somehow I collapse at the agency" She didn't want to go into details. "I just got discharged this morning from Jacob hospital" He turned to look at her. He studied her expression. "If you don't believe me you can call Doctor Brandon. He was the one who told me that you took the day off to take care of Gideon" He was telling me the truth. He knew Doctor Brandon. The mention of him indicated that she was truly admitted at Jacob Hospital. "So you weren't feeling well too?" Gideon asked "Yes" "So who stayed with you at the hospital?" Gideon asked with a concerned look. "Harry Jones" she answered Gideon shot his brother a ' Never jump into hasty conclusion ' look. James realized he needed to apologize for so many things. Ephyra leaned in. "James I know that I haven't been paying much attention to you guys lately.." "I'm sorry" he apologized "I should be the one apologising for paying too much attention to work" "I understand" He muttered Ephyra knew James doesn't understand. He was only trying to play cool. Since she found out he lied to her, he felt guilty for lying to her. And for cutting her off the phone like she was some stranger. "How is work?" "Fine" she whispered "Perhaps..is Harry Jones giving you any problem?" "No we're good" His middle clenched at her words. He thought of the possibilities. "You're getting along well" "Yes..and Harry is nice" she said with a smile James sensed something fishy by Ephyra's sudden smile at the mention of Harry Jones. He watched her. He was familiar with that look on her face as she answered Gideon's questions about Harry Jones. She was in love with Harry Jones. Ephyra wanted to tell James everything that happened at Harry's home. Bit then her phone buzzed, a message from Madam Isobel. "Harry said you got discharged today and you're seeing your family. Come to the company before heading to Harry's home" She reads "Mrs Isobel want to see me" She said in a low tone "So you are leaving?" Gideon asked with a sad face "I'm sorry" She stood up Ephyra wished she could stay a bit longer. "When next would you come around?" He asked again "I don't know Gideon" James was silent "Okay..at least I'm glad you came around today" Gideon said with a half smile. She placed a kiss on his forehead. James rubbed his palms gently without saying anything. "Bye James" she said He didn't respond. Gideon waved at her as she walked out of the house. "I told you she would end up leaving us someday" He stormed into his bedroom. *** *** What the heck is going on with James?! ? Well I think he's jealous! Calm down boy.. Stop over reacting! And accept that Ephyra wasn't meant for you! ? Thanks for Reading! Don't forget to like and Drop a comment.

A WISH ??‍♂ Episode 19 Theme: Cleared GOLDMYNES COMPANY Isobel's office "I wasn't expecting you that soon" Isobel said "I came as soon as I received your message" Ephyra Responded "I'm happy to see you Ephyra. And I apologize on Eleanor's behalf.." "No apologies needed Ma" she said "First of all I want to thank you for reuniting me and my Son. Harry and I are on good terms now" She told Ephyra how she reconciled with Harry on Tuesday. "I'm glad you and Harry are back together now" She fiddled with her fingers that suddenly became sweaty. She realized her contract with Isobel was over. So she was going to leave Harry and probably start looking for another job. She exhaled roughly. So many thoughts flooded her mind. James,Gideon...and Harry. James would definitely be happy the contract was over. He won't be mad at her anymore if she moved back to his home. But what about Harry? "Well I found out from my son that he loves you. It surprising that you reconnected us and also won is his heart" Ephyra nodded slowly Was that really the end? "You achieved all these in a week,so I have decided to fulfill my part of the contract" Pay her and ask her to leave? She thought of her love towards Harry. Suddenly Ephyra wished she could be with him forever. But it was impossible with the Neifion bracelet on her wrist in the Human World. The bracelet belonged to the Sea and she also belong to the Sea so she has to return to her World. Isobel pushed a cheque to her. "This is your payment" she said She gave Ephyra a black card. It was Gold Mall special Card. She could shop at the Mall without Paying. "1 Million Dollars" she said with a wide Eye. "Yes Ephyra you have no idea of what happiness you brought back into my life. That long lost joy of hearing my son call me Mom and regarding me as his mother..you brought everything back" "So..our contract.. Is over?" Ephyra said "Yes" Ephyra looked at her. And she felt them, Tears! at the corner of her eyes. "Can I ask you something?" Isobel said She nodded slowly as she blinked back tears that threatened to spill anytime soon. "Harry loves you but do you love him too?" She asked "Yes" Ephyra heard herself say. She couldn't lie when asked a direct question. "Ephyra you love my son" Isobel said A tear slid down her chin "Yes..I do..and..I'm sorry for that...because I am..not the..best person to... love someone like him" She said shakily Isobel got out of chair "No..no.." "I'm sorry...I know Falling in love with him wasn't part of the contract" "No please don't be Sorry" She placed her hands on Ephyra's shoulder. "Harry loves you and you feel the same too. So there's nothing to be sorry about. As a matter of fact this is not the end of our contract" Ephyra glanced up at her "What do you mean?.. The contract is over since you paid me" "Sh sh Ephyra.." Isobel silenced her "I want you to stay with my son. I know Harry won't be happy with me if I let you go just like that and if you decide to leave after the contract" "So..are you..asking me to stay with Harry?" Ephyra asked "Listen to me..I watched my son for two days and I found out that he's deeply in love. So I felt that both of you could start something..even after the contract. That's out of it now..I mean you could still work for Harry as his secretary" Isobel sighed "I want you by his side" Ephyra was silent "Do you want to leave?" "No I want to be with him" She said sincerely It was the truth! She really wanted be with Harry Jones. "Thank You" Ephyra said Isobel helped her up and hugged her "I'm so grateful" Isobel said Ephyra pulled away and looked down at the cheque in her hand. A smile formed on her lips. Deciding that she would give it to James for everything he has done for her. It was enough to thank him for helping her. Ephyra made up her mind that she would be honest with him and tell him the whole truth. Especially her love to Harry Jones. ♦ ••• ELEANOR'S APARTMENT Eleanor heard the doorbell as she was packing her clothes into a box. She moved out of the room and went to the door. She peered through the small gap on the door. Shawna was there. She opened the door. "Hi Eleanor" Shawna greeted with a bright smile on her face. "Hi..come in" She stepped in "So who was your visit to the agency? Did you meet that slut?" Eleanor folded her arms "Yes I did but things didn't go has planned" "What happened?" Shawna asked Eleanor narrated everything to her. "So you really think she isn't human?' Shawna paced "Yes and I told my mom and even Madam Isobel but everyone thinks I'm losing my mind" she threw her hands up in frustration. "What do we do now? You can't let someone like that be around Harry. She might hurt him" Shawna said "You think I should tell him about it?" Shawna nodded "He won't believe me. He almost strangled me to death when he saw her laying unconscious at the agency. Harry is blinded by his love for that strange lady" "You can't just let her take him away from you" Shawna pestered "I'm out of the plan. I am not interested in Harry anymore" Shawna stared at her in disbelief. "Why?" "His heart belong to another woman" she said "A strange woman" Shawna countered "He loves her" Eleanor reminded Shawna rolled her eyes "There's no point in sticking around him. I wasn't able to make him believe in love but Ephyra succeeded. So I think she deserves to be with him" Eleanor sighed "You can't just give up.." Eleanor silenced her with a nod. "It's over. I'm leaving the country tomorrow morning" "Where are you going?" "Anywhere around the globe. I don't want to hurt anyone all in the name of Love" Shawna nodded "Your choice Eleanor" She picked up her handbag. "Safe Journey around the globe" "Thanks" Eleanor accompanied her to the door. Shawna stood on the porch for a second. A wicked smile formed on her lips. Eleanor was now out of the picture so she has to face Ephyra alone. She wasn't going to give up on Harry. She wouldn't let him go to a strange woman. She would find out Ephyra's true identity and expose her. She thought No! Harry won't believe her. Maybe getting rid of Ephyra would be the best option! If Ephyra was out of her way then Harry would be left with no choice than to come to her for comfort. And she would be waiting to comfort him. Eleanor grinned wickedly as she walked to her car. ♠ JAMES APARTMENT "Why are you here again?" He asked as he stood at the door. "Won't you let me in?" Ephyra asked "There's no need to come in since you'd be leaving soon" He stepped out to the porch closing the door behind him. "Where is Gideon?" She asked "He's asleep" James folded his arms "I dropped by to give you this.." She gave him the cheque "Madam Isobel paid me today so I want you to have it" James eyed the cheque "The contract is over?" He asked "Yes it's over but I still have to stay with Harry Jones" James lifted his eyebrows "Why?" "I am his secretary at the agency so I have to get him a replacement before resigning" He stared intensely at her "So you still want to work for him?" James collected the cheque "Yes" "Mrs Jones gave you $1M" She hummed a response "Ephyra be honest with me.." Her gaze met James "Are you in love with your boss?" She was taken back by his question. Her heartbeat rapidly as she pondered if she should be sincere with him. "The truth.." He said She looked away from him "Yes James" she replied "I knew it" he muttered "James.." He grabbed her hand and dropped the cheque in her palm. "Go back to your love,you're not needed here anymore" he said Annoyance clear in his voice "Listen to me James.." "I don't want to listen to you!" He barked She jumped in fear "Just leave and forget about us" He whispered "Please James" She grabbed his upper arm but he jerked free and went in,slamming the door in the process. Tears slipped down her cheeks. She waited for minutes knocking on the door,begging James to give her a chance to explain things to him. But no response came from him. She bounced down the stair and walked away slowly. Her world was upside down. The one she considered a family pushed her away. It was all her fault! She shouldn't have been away from them. Everything would have been fine if she hadn't passed out few days ago. Ephyra wandered around the streets lost in thought that she didn't realize it was late. Then she recalled that she needed to see someone. Ephyra hail down a taxi. And when she got to her destination she saw the one she wanted to see. Eleanor was dragging a box out to the porch. Ephyra got out of the taxi and went to her. Eleanor was stunned. She wondered how Ephyra managed to locate her home. Isobel had given her the address when she asked for it. "Why are you here?" She asked "Can we talk?" Ephyra said "I'm not interested" she dragged the box to the car in the driveway. Ephyra followed her "Eleanor.." "What do you want from me?" "About Tuesday -" "I saw everything" she pointed to the bracelet on Ephyra's wrist. "I told Madam Isobel about it and she thought I was crazy" No one would ever believe her without strong evidence. "Who are you?" Eleanor kept her distance. Afraid that Ephyra might hurt her. "I am Ephyra, the daughter of the greatest Merleader Oceanus" Eleanor chuckled "Sounds like a fantasy book my mom used to read to me. Merleader? isn't that related to the Sea world?" "Yes you are right. I am a Mermaid" Eleanor jaw dropped completely "You..you are..a Mermaid" she stuttered "Yes" Ephyra answered boldly "So..why are..you in..our world?" "I like the Human World. Now you know my identity" "Yes and Harry needs to know too" Eleanor shakily dropped the box in the car "Yes and I intend to tell him my true identity but before that..let's make up and be good to each other" She stretched out her hand for a handshake. Eleanor eyed her "I apologize for winning Harry's heart in your place" "You succeeded because you aren't human. You've cast a spell on him" "I don't do spells. I won his heart because I was willing to stay with him even at his worst. I understand his pain and was patient with him despite his torture" "Congratulations" Eleanor said with a croaked smile "Come on I mean no harm" Ephyra said and Eleanor shook hands with her. "Thanks Eleanor" Ephyra gave her a stern handshake,draining out her energy. Eleanor tried to pull way as she felt the power in the handshake. "What are you doing to me?" "Sorry I need to erase Ephyra from your memory" "No..no" Her vision became blurry. Seconds later Ephyra released her. "Relax you'll be fine" Ephyra pats her back as Eleanor coughed. She regained her strength and looked at Ephyra. "Who are you?" She pushed Ephyra away "Why did you touch Me?!" She dust her body trying to brush away Ephyra's touch on her skin. She doesn't remember anything. "Uhmm sorry Miss I was only trying to help. I saw you coughing a while ago so I thought you needed help" Eleanor studied her with a raised eyebrow. "It's a good thing you are fine..Bye" She waved and walked away quickly before Eleanor could say anything. Ephyra sighed with relief. She toyed with the bracelet on her wrist. Ephyra thought if she would ever make it back to the Human world if she decided to leave just to return the Neifion Bracelet. It belonged to the Sea. ? Ephyra don't go back to the MERWORLD! ?

A WISH ?‍♀ Episode 20 Theme: Confession MERWORLD Little Mermaids and Mermen swimming in and out of the rocks. They sang beautiful songs which echoed under the Sea. Almeta and Adamaris move away from the other mermaids. "What's that over there?" Almeta pointed towards a hole. "It's the Dark Cave of Scylla" Adamaris replied "Dark Cave of Scylla?" "Yes Scylla the Sea Monster" "Who told you about Scylla?" Almeta asked "My Mother" Adamaris answered He grabbed her and pulled her away. "Wait..let's take a closer look at the cave" Almeta suggested "No it dangerous. Mother warned me about Dark Caves" "Why?" "A Sea Monster is confined in it. Going near it might awaken the Sea Monster" "How?" "Our Blood Scent" he said Almeta gasped "Does Sea monsters exist?" "Yes Almeta let's go" They swim away to join the other mermaids Almeta kept looking back at the cave. She wondered why there wasn't Sea Warriors guarding the Dark Cave of Scylla. Adamaris wasn't telling the truth. He was probably making things up to scare her. What if there was a beautiful Pearl in that Cave instead of a Sea Monsters. A Pearl? That would be beautiful! She decided that she would check it out later. ♦ HUMAN WORLD HARRY'S BEACH HOUSE Harry moved out of the room when he heard the doorbell. He rubbed his sleepy eyes as he made his way to the door. A smile formed on his lips when he saw Ephyra. He opened up quickly and hugged her. "I..I thought you were going to leave..." His voice broke. "And what made you think I was going to leave you?" She asked in a tight whisper. "My mom told me that she was going to pay you today. So I thought you were going to leave since the contract is over" He drew back to look at her "Come in" He held her hand and pulled her in gently "Did you talk to James?" He asked The smile on her face disappeared. Harry noticed her expression. "Hey what's wrong?" "He doesn't want to see me anymore" "What? Why?" "The truth is..I admitted that I was in love with you. And then he asked me to leave" He leaned in and cupped her face "He's probably finding it hard to believe that I fell in love with my boss in just one week" "James shouldn't be mad at you because you love me" "Exactly I wanted to to explain to him but he didn't give me the chance.." Her voice trailed Tears slid down her cheeks. And Harry wiped them with his fingertips. "James and Gideon are my family" He hugged her "I don't know why he suddenly changed towards me" "You want me to talk to him?" "No..no I'll just let him be for now" She sniffed "So..does that mean.. You would stay with me?" Harry muttered after a momentary pause. Ephyra pulled away from him and wiped her face. She wasn't going to shed tears because of James again. It was his decision so she would respect it. "I am your secretary.. but it fine if you don't want me to live with you. I have a million dollars now enough to buy me a house" She teased him Harry smiled at her "You're rich now" "Yes" She said with a half smile. He went to her and wrapped his hands around her waist. "I am not letting you go to anyone." He kissed her forehead "What about you?" "I don't have anyone..I mean James doesn't want to see me..so you are the only one I have..now" He pinched her chin gently "So...have you thought...of us moving pass this stage?" "What stage?" He grinned "I don't want to be just your boss" He said with a shrug "So what?" "Hmm..your man" he said calmly "Why?" She teased Ephyra understood what he was trying to say. "I love you" he said boldly They stood staring at each other awkwardly. Then he said "Come on" he coaxed "Let's just call it a middle ground I love you and you love me too. So I agree that I can mix being your boss and you being my secretary with pleasure as long as the pleasure is just good,clean and fun" After those words escaped his mouth she made her move. She ran her fingers through his hair and pulled him for a kiss. It was obvious he was not expecting and it took him a second to adjust. He put his hand on her back,tracing her spine and he kissed her eagerly. "Ephyra.. I love.. you" he said in between frantic kisses. He never wanted it to end but Ephyra broke the kiss. "I love you too" It was her first time and those words felt strange on her lips. "We'll attend to business when business needed to be attended to..." She said "And have good,clean fun the rest of the time" He agreed with a croaked smile And she nodded in agreement "I'm hungry" Harry said "You haven't eaten?" "Yea I was resting.." He itched his ear "Can I have Noddles?" He said She nodded and motioned towards the kitchen Harry followed her "So what's up with the fashion runway?" "Ria Robert is still working on the dresses for that day" "Its next week Saturday" "Yes Everyone's is preparing for it. And I want you to meet Ria Robert before that day" he said "Why?" "You have to get a dress for that day too" "Is that necessary?" He nodded "I'm more comfortable in Jeans than gowns" She frowned "You'll look pretty in gown too" "You think so" He nodded "Don't worry I'll drive you to the store" "RRC?" "Yes" "Well thank goodness I don't have to pay you to drive me to RRC" she laughed "I wouldn't mind a token Miss" he gave her a mock bow And she giggled. ?? This our love e no go die oo ?

A WISH ??‍♂ Episode 21 Theme: The Call SATURDAY MORNING She woke up to someone stroking her cheeks. Ephyra opened her eyes and saw a little boy staring at her. She stood up quickly, observing her surrounding. She was in a garden with nice roses and beautiful flowers. "Who are you?" She asked the little boy "I am a human" She looked down at him. He had the perfect features of a human. "Yes I know" she answered "But you aren't Human" he said In a harsh tone. Then she glanced down at her body. She still had her long legs and complete human body. "I am a human" she said "No you belong there!" He snarled Then he pointed towards a section. She looked beyond and saw mermaids in a lake. "You belong to that world!" He laughed wickedly "You can never be like us!" He snarled Ephyra screamed in fear when she saw many humans chanting the same words. Their voices echoed in her head. "Go back to your world! And give the Sea it belonging!" "No!" She screamed The beeping sound of the alarm jolted her up from the nightmare. Her forehead was sweaty. She felt weak and lay still on the bed. Thinking over the dream she just had..she doesn't belong to this world. "Go back to your world!" It echoed in her mind "Neifion do I really have to go back there?" A tear dropped down her cheek. "I want to be with him" she muttered A knock sounded on her bedroom door. She wiped her face and hopped out of bed. "Good Morning My Lady" Harry greeted Her gaze fell on the tray in his hands. "Coffee" he raised a mug "Oh thanks..come in" she said He gave her a coffee mug and placed the tray on her dressing table. "How was your night?" He asked "Fine..thanks" she sipped the coffee "I want to go out for a walk around the area,would you like to come with me?" He asked "Yes I'd love that.." She nodded "Okay..I'll be waiting in the sitting room" She would have to leave Harry some day. He kissed her cheeks and moved out of the room. The mere thought of being away from him brought tears to her eyes. ♦•••••♦•••••♦ "Are you sure you can do this job for me?" She asked The man she was referring to smoked on his cigarette. "Who told you about me?" He asked "A Lady at Den club" she answered "My name is Vins Bond" he said with a wicked smile "Yes I know" "So who am I to deal with for you?" He asked She passed him a photograph "She's pretty" he complimented "I want you to do a clean job and don't get caught" "Can any man capture the wind?" He asked "No" "So trust me" he said She gave him a brown envelope "This is your part payment. I'll pay the rest when the Job's done..A clean job" "You can count on me Miss" He opened the car door and stepped out of the car. ♠ ••• MERWORLD THRONE HALL "Can we make the connection now?" Oceanus asked Kenan "It being four weeks since we made the last connection with the princess" Tethys said "Let's do it again" Oceanus said Tethys nodded in agreement "Let's make her have the desire to return to the Sea" Oceanus added "My Lord,I'm sure the princess is aware that the Neifion bracelet belong to the Sea" Kenan said "Can Almeta resist the connection?" Tethys asked "Yes My Queen if she's by the sea feeding it with spell songs" Kenan replied "Her connection with the Sea through spell songs can make her resist the connection" Tethys said "Yes My Queen" "I don't think Almeta knows that fact. She might be far away from the Sea so she wouldn't get attracted to it and be tempted to return home" Oceanus said "Let's Make the connection. I want my child back" Tethys said Kenan bowed and settled to work his magic. ♣ •••• HUMAN WORLD They held each other hands as they both walk on the beach. "You like the Sea?" Ephyra asked "Yes I love the view from our home" Harry Said Ephyra stopped and stood in front of him "Can I ask you something?" She said "Yes" Harry answered "Would you start a family around this lonely area because you like the view of the Sea?" "No" "Why?" "Well I intend to move back to town very soon. Somewhere close to my family home or the agency. But I'll always come around here anytime I need a break from work" She looked at the Sea. And she wondered what was going on under the Sea. "About.. Starting a family.." He paused Ephyra looked at him "Well I was just wondering if you are..." "I am not ready" she cuts in sharply before Harry could complete his intended statement. She couldn't say yes to him because she knew sooner or later she'd have to return to her world. "Okay" Harry mumbled Even thought he wasn't satisfied with her immediate response, he let It drop. He didn't want her to feel pressured. His phone buzzed. "Your phone.." she nudged at his side. He took it out of his pocket. It was Eleanor. Harry made a disapproving sound and declined the call. "Your mom?" She asked "Eleanor" he said "Answer it..I heard she's leaving town today" Ephyra Said calmly "I don't want to talk to her" "You're still mad at her for what she did to me" He hummed a response "Come one I already told you it wasn't her fault. So let it go" His phone and again. He picked it and clicked on the speaker. "Hello?" "Hey Harry Jones" "What's up Eleanor?" "I'm good" "I heard you're leaving town today" "Yes I'm at the airport" "Good for you - so why did you call me?" "I wanted to tell you something.." She stopped Ephyra's heart skipped beat. She was scared. What if there was still traces of what she said last night in Eleanor's memory? Then she would tell Harry about it. "What is it?" Harry asked "I..I don't remember some certain things. It's as if I lost a part of my memory over night.." "Eleanor.." "I'm serious..I wanted to tell you about -" she paused Ephyra knew Eleanor was trying to figure the missing piece In her memory. "What?" "Your mom" She said finally Ephyra sighed in relief "She loves you and you shouldn't blame her for your Father's death. I mean it doesn't make any sense quarrelling with her because she accused him. The dead is gone so you should let things go and be good to her" "We're good now.. All thanks to -" he held Ephyra's hand Ephyra! She placed her finger on her lips "Who?" "Never mind" he muttered "Anyways I'm going to miss you Harry" she said Eleanor was disturbed. She couldn't figure the reason why she was leaving the country. Harry was Silent. "Won't you wish me well?" "Safe Journey Eleanor" "Thanks.. And take care of your mom" "Thanks" The call ended "Why did you silence me?" "I didn't want you to tell her about me" "Why?.. I wanted her to know you reconciled us" Mentioning Ephyra might make Eleanor lose her mind completely. She wanted to tell him but she held back her words. "She doesn't have to know.." She said with a shrug. Harry nodded in agreement. Ephyra looked beyond the Sea. "Hey look it's a whale!" She screamed Harry looked up to the Sea and saw nothing. She was teasing him. Ephyra giggled at the look on his face. He had expected to see a whale on the Sea. He would have taken pictures. "You tricked me" he grabbed her but she pulled away from him. "Sorry Boss" she laughed He tried to get her but she sidestepped him. "You can't catch me!" "Of course i can!" He placed his hands on his waist "Then catch me if you can My Lord!" She started running on the sand. And in a swift movement Harry caught her. "Gotcha!" They both laughed happily. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her towards the bank. "No..no..Harry don't.." She pleaded He ignored her pleads "Well I intend to drop you in it My lady" She struggled to free herself "Come on! Are you scared of the Sea?" Ephyra knew her tail would appear the moment her legs touches the Sea. "Wait!" She screamed when he was about entering the Sea. "What?" He asked She held on to him tightly "I love you" she said "Yeah I know you love me.." She nodded "So i was thinking if...we could go in..and.." She stopped. Harry stepped backward when he saw the Wave. "And?" He asked "You want to know?" He nodded "Let's move away from the sea first..far away" she replied Harry rolled his eyes "I'll tell you when we are far away from the Sea" she repeated and winked at him. He moved away from the Sea to the dry land. "Put me down" He obeyed "So what were you saying?" He asked Ephyra stepped away from him. And she said "I'm hungry" Harry cocked his brows "Hold up..is that what you wanted to say?" "What are you thinking?" She pouted "You said we should go in " "Yes..go inside and have lunch" she completed Harry ran his hand over his face. "What's running through your mind?" She asked with a croaked smile "Nothing" he said "Are you sure?" "Forget it" he walked away "Harry.." She called out He didn't respond "My Lord!" She called again Harry smiled as he walked to the front door. Then when she was about to take a step, she felt something hit her in the heart. It was painful than the previous one. She looked down at the bracelet, it was shinning. "No..no..not again" she said shakily. Ephyra turned away to the Sea to hide her eyes from Harry who was waiting for her to join him on the porch. "Come in My Lady!" He said She didn't turn to face him. Tears welled up in her eyes at the images of Harry looking at her like she was a monster. She had hated the look on Eleanor's face. So Harry look would shred her heart in pieces. He won't hesitate to stay away from her or push her away like James if he sees her like this.. Her Vision became blurry, she held her chest and screamed out in pain. Harry watched her for a second. He heard her scream and soon she was falling to the ground. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him. "Ephyra!" The light faded as soon as she blacked out. He didn't see it. Harry held her. "Ephyra wake up! Can you hear me?!" He knew she was unconscious again. And she carried her in his arms into the house. ? All these Sea People will not let Ephyra rest oo! Thanks for Reading!

A WISH ?‍♀ Episode 22 Theme: Scylla is Alive! ? MERWORLD "Almeta,let's go and play with the other mermaids" Adamaris said "No I can't go today" she replied "Why?" "I have to visit Wanwisa with Mother" she lied "But..mother said you could come with me to play" "Well you can go ahead..I'll join you later" she said "Why not now?" He pestered "Silly questions!" She barked at him Adamaris was stunned "Go away! I don't want to play with the other mermaids! You all suck!" She swims away "Almeta!" Adamaris screamed "I'm sorry!" He apologized "Go away!" She screamed "Forgive me!" He said She didn't respond She swims away quickly so he won't be able to follow her. Almeta made her way to the Dark Cave of Scylla when she was sure no one was following her. She peeped into it and saw a shinning light. "Wow! It's a pearl!" She exclaimed Almeta enters the Cave. "No Almeta!" Adamaris screamed but she was already in it. He couldn't go into the Cave to stop her or else he would be trapped in it. "There's a Sea monster In it!" He shouted "I see a beautiful pearl you fool!" She screamed back at him as she swims farther into the Cave. She ignored his calls and reached out to touch the Pearl. Then the light faded slowly leaving the cave in darkness. "Where did it go?" She pondered The Sea Monster nostrils sensed her scent. Her scent filled him and strengthened him a bit. He wanted more...he wanted to taste her to renew his strength. She searched until she touched a rough surface..his nose! Scylla knew it was a mermaid in his Cave! His eyes flare open immediately. "Hello little one" his deep voice said Almeta screamed in fear when she saw his crimson eyes. "Thanks for coming in here.." He smelled her gently "Almeta" he said at the sight of the lines of pearls on her tail. She tried to escape but he grabbed her. "Somebody help!" She screamed Adamaris moved away when he heard her voice. "Please..spare..me" she pleaded "Scylla is Alive!" The Sea monster screamed. His voice echoed under the Sea. Then he devoured Almeta. Her screams echoed in Adamaris ears. "Scylla is Alive!" The Sea monster roared. It affected the balance of the Sea. Adamaris knew he had devoured Almeta. He was scared! He alerted the other mermaids around as he made his way to the palace. "Scylla is Alive!" He screamed There was commotion. They rushed to their houses when they heard Scylla's roars from the Cave. Adamaris wept as he told Oceanus about Scylla. "Colbert!" Oceanus called the 6th prince. The rest of the princes filed into the throne hall. They already heard about Scylla at their offices. "The Sea Monster is awake!" Morrissey said "Yes Scylla devoured his little friend" Oceanus pointed at Adamaris. He could stop his tears at the lose of his dear Friend. She was gone. ? "We can't let him into the Main Hall" Morrissey said "Where is Kenan?" Delma (the 2nd prince) Demanded "He just left a while ago.." Oceanus said "Get him Morgan" Morrissey ordered "Murtaph gather everyone to the Kaimana and let them know Scylla is alive. No one should be seen outside the Main Hall" Morrissey said "Yes My Lord" Murtaph bowed "Meredydd and Murron Seal up the Main Hall Gates!" he said again They all departed to do as Morrissey ordered "Azizi get the other officials" He said Azizi bowed ad exited the room. HUMAN WORLD "Somebody help!" The little voice echoed in her ears. She swims faster to save the little mermaid that was caught in a Sea Trap. "Hold on.." She tried to save her but something struck her from behind. She turned but saw nothing. And before she could face the little mermaid,she was dead. The water around her was bloody. She moved back and screamed at the sight of the mermaid(she had been sliced into two) "Somebody help!" She heard it again. This time in a different location. She was transported to a Lake. It was filled with Mermaids. They had bloodstains and wounds all over them. They were horrible looking. She felt bile rose up in her throat at the sight. "Please Save us" A mermaid grabbed her ankle and tried to pull her into the lake "Let me go!" She struggled to free herself "You belong her! Come and Save us!" The mermaid begged with blood dripping down her cheeks. "Come and save us!" They chorused "No..no..I am a Human!" She screamed Then she felt someone shaking her up. "Ephyra..." She screamed in Fear. Harry hugged her tightly. "Calm down..it's me Harry" Harry? He was holding her. She hugged him tightly. "You're fine..." He whispered She relaxed in his embrace "You were screaming Ephyra.." She sobbed in his chest "I don't..want to.. go.. back there.." She said shakily "Its a nightmare..you'll be fine" he whispered He whispered soothing words to her and soon she drifted into sleep. Harry watched her. He wondered what sort of nightmare she was having that made her scream that much in an unconscious state. She had been out for 8hours. He didn't drive her to the hospital to avoid Doctor Brandon's strange words. She would regain consciousness. He had concluded Harry moved out of the room. He was disturbed. He wanted to know the reason why she was always passing out. He was scared at the same time. What if it was a symptom of an illness? An incurable illness? His heart pounded so hard it was like it was going to bust. He should call James and ask for his help. He must know something about it. Ephyra must be hiding some facts about herself from him. He changed his mind about getting coffee and he went to Ephyra's room. He searched for her cellphone to call James but he couldn't find it. "Where did she drop it?" His gaze fell on her bed,he saw a book,a part of it was revealing the rest of it was under the bed. He crouched down and reached for it. It was a Diary. ? Ephyra's Diary! Her name was boldly written on it. He was tempted to read it but he dropped it on the bed. A piece of paper dropped to the ground. Harry picked it up to return it into the Diary. "A WISH: Ephyra The Special one" it reads He sat on her bed and opened the Diary to put the piece back. "Ephyra Adams was buried in the Sand" He flipped pages in the diary "I ? him...who? James or Harry?...Its Harry Jones!" He smiled at the note Harry opened the next page "Princess Of Merillia Kingdom" She drew a little mermaid on it. He was confused as he read the rest of it. "My Wish as a Special Mermaid was to become Human. It was a dream I had kept alive for years and the Sea granted my wish on my 18th birthday. And here I am in the Human world,acting like a Human. I was saved by a little boy on the beach (Gideon) and his elder brother (James) decided to help me. He took me in..and treated me like a family. The Albert are nice people no doubt about that. Guess what Diary?! I'm working as a maid to a tough heir. He's a supermodel..topmost in USA. He looks like a Demi god with his cute nose and handsome face. Isn't that Amusing?! He's cool and that's why I love Harry Jones! Though he could be tough and stubborn but also nice and sweet!" It ended on that page and continued on the next. "My Life as a Human is Pretty Fun! I enjoyed being a Human and I wish to be a Human forever! Now that I'm in love! Harry and I are in love! But it's sad that we can't be together. We're from separate Worlds! And how I wish things were different. I want to be a Human like Harry so I can be with him forever! That's impossible because of Neifion. I have to return it back to the Sea. And with my family making connections with the Neifion I can't dwell in this world. I have to leave.. but what about Harry? How would he feel if he wakes up someday and couldn't find me in his home?.. sad?...I can't tell. All I know is that I have to take Neifion back even though it pains me to leave Harry Jones. I'm sure he would move on if he doesn't see me after along time. Forgive me Harry Jones. Written by: Ephyra The special Mermaid" And then it ended Harry was shocked and surprised. He could hardly believe what he just read in Ephyra's Diary. Ephyra must be tying to created a story by using her name. She isn't a mermaid! Ephyra Adams is a Human! The woman he loved is a Human and not a Mermaid! He exhaled roughly. His legs felt weak as he stood up. He sat back on the bed with his eyes closed. Ephyra would definitely explain things to him when she wakes up. He gathered himself and walked out of the room. He went back to his room and dropped the diary in a drawer and locked it. Harry looked at Ephyra on the bed. She was asleep. He ran his hands over his face,trying to think straight but it was hard. He exited the room and stormed out of the house. He needed to clear his head and accept what he just found out in her Diary. **** **** Omo See gobe! Oh My Sea! Harry found out Ephyra is a mermaid! ? Thanks for reading!

A WISH ??‍♂ Episode 23 Theme: Scylla MERWORLD THRONE HALL "Kenan what do we do about Scylla?" Oceanus asked "We have to build up a boundary to stop Scylla from coming into the Main Hall" Kenan said "Can't we fight him?" Morrissey asked "Scylla can't be destroyed. And We aren't strong enough to face Scylla" Wanwisa said "But we have the strength to fight Scylla" Morgan countered "Our strength has nothing to do with Scylla" Kenan replied "Our blood scent strengthens Scylla" Oceanus added "So how do we defeat Scylla?" Delma demanded "We have to put him back to sleep" Wanwisa replied They all exchanged confused glances "How?" Kenan cleared his throat "A special Mermaid" he said They gasped in shock "Kenan are you saying it is only Almeta that can defeat Scylla?" Fairfax asked "My Prince do we have another special mermaid in our kingdom?" Kenan asked "No..only Ephyra" "Our princess is the only solution to putting Scylla back to sleep" Kenan said "Ephyra is in the strange world" Dylan said "Can we bring her back?" Murtaph asked "The Sea will bring her back to save us" Wanwisa answered "When?" Tethys asked impatiently "We can't sit back and watch Scylla destroy our kingdom" Morogh said "Kenan isn't there a way to bring Almeta back here?" Colbert asked "We've been trying to Make connection with Neifion" Oceanus Said "The Water god?" Morogh asked "Yes..Azizi gave Almeta the Neifion bracelet on her birthday" Tethys explained "So Neifion is with Almeta in that strange world?" Colbert asked "Yes" Tethys said "She can't stay too long in that world with Neifion" Murtaph said with a concerned tone. "Yes Neifion belongs to the Sea" Wanwisa said "So..what do we do? Sit back and wait for Almeta return?" Morrissey demanded in a rough tone. "Yes My lord" Kenan's answered with a slight bow. And they all sighed in frustration. HUMAN WORLD SUNDAY EVENING (7:30PM) Ephyra awoke to a cool evening. She lay on the bed in silence for a moment. She felt stronger now with no pains. She didn't hear any sound behind her door. Harry? Where did he go? Her eyes scanned the room. He wasn't there. She realized that she wasn't in her bedroom but Harry's room. She pushed herself up and got out of bed. She left the room and headed towards the sitting room. Harry was there. He sat on the couch. She stood there and watched as he typed on his system. She cleared her throat. Harry turned and looked at her. He looked as if he hadn't slept well. His eyes were shadowed. "How are you doing?" He asked "Better" she muttered He nodded and focused his attention on his system. She wanted to know how long she had been out. She rubbed her palms together and pondered if she should ask him. Harry closed his laptop and looked straight at her. "You passed out on the beach yesterday afternoon" he said with a serious face. "I..I..I.." She stuttered "Why do you keep passing out every time?" He asked Ephyra avoided his gaze and looked down at Neifion. She didn't know what to say to him. And there was no way she was going to reveal her identity to him. "Are you ill?" He asked "No" "Then what? You were out for a whole day and you had a nightmare in between and I had no idea of what to do.." Ephyra looked up at him. Then she remembered the nightmare. The mermaid crying for he to save her,lake filled with horrible looking mermaids. And harry holding her tightly until she had fallen asleep. "Ephyra is there something you are hiding from me?" He asked in a tight whisper but that was damn straight! Ephyra looked away and stared into space. He wanted her to tell him the truth. He was tired of trying to figure if she's human or a mermaid. If what she wrote in her diary was true. Ephyra heartbeat accelerated. He sounded like he knew her secret. Her palms became sweaty and she couldn't bring herself to tell him everything. Harry would hate her if she told him her true identity. "Ephyra.." "There's nothing.." She cuts in He stared at her "Okay" he muttered Harry stood up and walked to his bedroom. Ephyra blinked back tears that threatened to spill. "I'm heading out.." He said "Harry.." She called He stopped at the door hoping she would just tell him everything. "Never mind" she said She rushed towards her room before Harry could say anything. The tightness in her throat won't let her spill the truth. She was scared of what his reaction would be. Ephyra locked her door and broke down in tears. She sobbed silently. Harry moved out of the house. He stayed two minutes in his car before pulling out of the driveway. ♦ *********** ♦ (9:30pm) She opened her eyes slowly and sat up quickly. She glanced around the room and she realized that she had slept off in tears. Then she remembered everything. The thought of Harry filled her mind. What would happen to him if she return to her world? She walked to her bed and sat on it. She reached to the drawer to take out her diary but it wasn't there. She searched and lifted every objects but the diary was no where to be found. "Where did I dropped it?" She asked herself She fell back on the bed to think of where she had dropped the diary the last time she wrote in it. She couldn't think of anything except Harry. She wondered if he was back home. Ephyra rushed out of her room to check if he was home. "Harry.." She called out No response She checked his bedroom,bathroom and kitchen but he wasn't there. And his car was not in the driveway. "Why isn't he back yet?" She looked up at the wall clock. It was 9:30. She picked her phone on the couch and dialed his number. It was switched off. Then her stomach let out a loud growl. She was hungry. Ephyra went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. She hoped that Harry would return home soon but he didn't. And she stayed up all night waiting for Harry Jones. Ephyra gave up around 5:30am and she slept off on the couch. ♦ ∆∆ ♦ MONDAY MORNING Ephyra woke up immediately she heard the door clicked. It was as if she had just slept for only ten minutes. She rubbed her sleepy eyes to have a clear vision. Then she saw him. She stood up quickly and went to him. "Good Morning" she yawned loudly Harry stared at her "I was expecting you -" He walked away without listening to her. She followed him. "Harry I prepared dinner last night and stayed up all night waiting for you. And I was so worried when I tried your number.." He stopped abruptly and she almost bumped into him. "But it was switched off" she completed "I didn't ask you to prepare dinner for me. And I never asked you to stay up all night waiting for me" He snapped at her. Her eyes widened in shock. Ephyra was confused. He started to walk away but soon stopped without facing her. "There's no need to come with me to the office today" he said And he walked into his room. He clenched his fists when he entered his room. Harry left that morning without saying anything to her. He didn't want her at the office so she won't pass out again. Even though she was truly a mermaid then it's best to keep her at home so others won't find out. Harry thought. ♠ ∆∆ ♣ TUESDAY MORNING The silent treatment was killing him. He can't keep avoiding her forever. If he want the truth then he should man up and confront her. Harry thought deeply as he sat in front of his Mahogany desk. He glanced at Ephyra's desk and her image appeared on her chair. He knew that he was hallucinating but he didn't want the image to disappear. He missed her smile..everything about her. Even though he was desperate to know things about her,he still kept calm,giving her a chance to open up to him. But it seems Ephyra wasn't ready to tell him anything. She was afraid of what he would do and his reaction! ^^^ ^^^ Thanks for Reading! Don't forget to like and drop a comment.

A WISH ??‍♀ Episode 24 Theme: She's Mermaid HARRY'S BEACH HOUSE TUESDAY NIGHT He gulped down a cup of water and took it to the sink to rinse it. When he stood with his hands gripping the sides of the sink,head bowed,heart pounding so hard. He rinsed the cup and moved out of the kitchen to his room. He sat on the bed, reading Ephyra's Diary. He'd read it over and over again still trying to make sense of the words written in it. He knew Ephyra must have been looking for the diary. And he pondered if he should go to her and confront her about her identity. He didn't want to hurt her anymore by avoiding her. And he was fed up of being away from her. He stood up and moved out of his room. Everywhere was silent as he paced to and fro in front of her bedroom. Minutes clicked by and he knocked on it. Ephyra wiped her face quickly when she heard the knock. She couldn't think of what she'd done to make Harry change towards her. Ephyra made sure that her face was clean and dry before she got out of bed. Harry noticed her swollen face. She has been crying! He don't know how long but he figured it was because of him. "Have you been crying?" He asked "No..no..no" she said unsteadily He stared at her. She couldn't look at him. "Do you need anything?" She asked He shook his head "You must be looking for this.." He brought out the diary from behind his back. Her gaze fell on it and her jaw dropped immediately. Harry was holding her Diary! What will she do?! He held it out to her but she didn't take it from him. Her eyes panic filled. She can't look at him. She couldn't speak. The Fear of knowing that Harry had read her diary froze her interior. Her heart pounding so hard it was like marching footsteps in her skull. "You can tell me everything when you are confident" he said And shakily without looking at him. She took the diary. The tear dropped down her right chin. Harry reached for her chin and wiped the tear with his fingertips. He leaned in and said. "Good Night" He kissed her forehead and made his way back to his room. Ephyra was stunned. She couldn't move. Harry found out! And more tears dropped as she slowly made her way to the bed. Now she has to summon the courage to talk to him tomorrow. ♥ WEDNESDAY MORNING (6:30AM) Ephyra was all dressed and ready to face Harry. She went to the mirror and took a deep breathe. "Now you have to tell him everything.The whole truth. If Harry Jones decided to kick you out then you give up and return to your world" She pointed to her reflection in the mirror. She closed her eyes again. "You can do this Ephyra.." She exhaled roughly Then she opened them and forced her focus onto herself to make sure she was at least ready to face Harry Jones. She secretly wish Harry would accept her identity after revealing the truth to him. "Let's do this.." She told her reflection much more sternly,then she turned away from the mirror and moved out of the room. Harry was heading out at the same time. And she visibly gulped. "Good Morning" she greeted He hummed a response without looking at her and walked away. She had to talk to him and she wasn't going to act like a wimp. Harry strode towards the door and then she knew she had to act. She had to say something because the silent treatment really was killing her. She inhaled her breath. It was time to woman up. "Harry, wait" The words seemed incredibly stupid as they escaped her mouth. He stopped in his place and turned to face her. They stood staring at each other. "You know we can do this some other time" Harry checked his watch. She stood like an idiot. Then she closed her eyes. "Harry please let's talk now" She opened them again "What do you want to talk about?" "About..last night" Harry went to sit on the couch "So?" He didn't seem annoyed "My Diary.." She stopped and took in a handful of breathe to refill her lungs. Harry nodded slowly "I found it under your bed while I was looking for your phone to call James" "Oh" she whispered Everything made sense to her now. "And I want to believe that everything if not all isn't true. I got to thinking that you were trying to create a story" he said "No" "So?" "Everything in my diary is the truth. I am a Mermaid" she said without meeting his gaze "Are you kidding?" "No I am not a human" Then he stood up "Mermaids don't exist" he countered "They do exist.. And I'm one" He went to her "No,please tell me you are just making things up" A tear slid down her cheek but she wiped it quickly. "I'm sorry" she muttered "Can you prove it?" He asked Then she looked up at him "Yes.." She pointed to the bracelet "I don't belong to this world. I used to live in the Sea until I clocked 18" "18?" "Yes it's a long story" she said "Why are you out here if you belong to the Sea? Why are you a human now? And what's about being 18?" He questioned frantically "It was my Wish" Harry was still confused. He ran his hand through his hair. "I'll tell you everything Harry" "I can't believe you" He blurted She raced to her room and came back with a bathrobe "Come with me" she said "Why?" "I want to show you the true Ephyra" She moved out of the house and ran towards the Sea. Harry followed her. He watched her as she unzipped her gown,leaving just her bra and panties on as she walked closer to the Sea. Deeper and deeper,she placed her heels together and flick with her feet. The movement rippled in her body,before she did it again. This was better than casting a shape shifting spell. She went down the sea for complete transition as she had read in some historical books about mermaids. Her skin was darkening as waves washed over her. Harry waited close to the shore. Another flick,her feet rising out of water and the skin of her legs grew together. Then he saw it..not her legs but an enormous Golden tail ?‍♀ Harry gasped in shock. It was as if he was daydreaming and he needed someone to wake him up. She stayed under the Sea with her tail up for seconds. Then she displayed a bit to make him believe. Ephyra raised her head above the water to look at him. His expression unreadable but she thought that she saw a look of disgust in them. She went back under the Sea. "Now he thinks am a monster" she said within Then she felt it. Almeta dropping down her cheeks. She was crying. "He hates me now" She sobbed She looked down at her golden tail and long nails. And she thought of swimming farther into the Sea and return back to her kingdom. She would convey information about her kingdom from the sea creatures. Suddenly she felt the change of balance in the Sea. Something was wrong! Though not in this Sea but Far off. *** *** What will you do if you were in Harry's shoes? Lemme know Via comment!

A WISH ??‍♂ Episode 25 Theme: I won't let you go! THE BEACH He waited for her to show up again but she didn't. Had she left for her world? Harry panicked. No! She can't leave just like that! He saw her tail from afar,she was moving away. "Ephyra!" He shouted in the wind with his hand at his mouth. And he tried again "Please come back!" Ephyra thought that she had imagined Harry's voice in her head. "Ephyra, I love you!" He shouted again She stopped swimming. She had heard it clearly with her hearing ability. He knelt down on the sand and cried. "Please come back" he muttered Ephyra started back to the shore. He was calling for her! She could hear his heartbeat. Almost nearing the Shore then she raised her head above the water. Harry's face was buried in his palms. She controlled the Sand and directed it to him gently to gain his attention since she couldn't talk to him. Mermaids and humans can't relate except they are in same form. Harry looked up and saw Ephyra. "Ephyra.." He moved closer to her "You came back.." She nodded. He smiled at her as he examined her "You have a beautiful tail" he said "And I wish I could be with you forever" she wanted to say but she showed him her large tail. Delighted that Harry liked her tail. She reached out to him for a handshake. "No I won't take that.." He said Her forehead creased "I once read it that a mermaid can erase a human memory with a handshake" "Yes..you are right" she replied with a nod "You can't talk to me right?" He asked She nodded with her hand in the air waiting for him to take it. He drew back from the water. "I don't want to forget you.." "Hey boss this is a handshake to mark our friendship...And love" she thought "Can I trust you?" He asked She nodded "The handshake won't erase my memory right?" And she nodded He studied her expression "Okay" He shook hands with her "Nice to meet you..My Mermaid" He grinned sheepishly. And she smiled at him. Harry turned serious and said "I want you back.." She pointed towards the bathrobe. He understands what she was saying. He moved backward and grabbed her robe and dress. Ephyra closed her gills,parting her tail and her skin normalized. She moved up and let her tail touch the Sand. Harry dropped the bathrobe and turned away before she became human. "Thank you" she said "Are you done?" He asked "Yes" she answered He turned quickly and went to her. He pulled her into his arms not minding the fact that she was wet,with water dripping from her hair. "Harry.." "Wait not now" he whispered He held her closely and she let him. Seconds clicked by and she said "Don't you want to know the whole story?" "It doesn't matter.." "Aren't you scared of me?" He pulled away from her "I was only shocked to see a mermaid. I never believed they exist until today" he paused "And were you really planning to leave the other time?" He asked "I thought you didn't like my appearance" "I'm sorry if my expression seems like I didn't like your appearance" "I was going to return to my kingdom" "And leave me out here?" She looked away from him "Some day I'll have to return to my world" she said He held her hands and they walked back into the house "Harry I insist that you hear my story" He nodded in agreement "Perhaps is James aware that you are mermaid?" "No one knows expect You and Eleanor" "Eleanor?" "Yes but I already erased my traces from her memory" "How did she find out?" "I told her about it" "Why?" "She suspected it the day I passed out at the agency" "I'll be right back" He said and went to his room. He came back with a towel. "Let me dry your hair" he pulled her to the couch and sat behind her to dry her hair. "Now tell me everything" He said She sighed "Every thousand years in the MERWORLD, a special Mermaid is born with powers that supersede other Merpowers" "You are the Special Mermaid" he said "Yes" "Who is Neifion?" "My bracelet" Then she told him everything. The MERWORLD,Her Family,Her Wish and how she ended up in the Human World. "So you are always unconscious because your family are making connections with Neifion" "Yes it can't dwell in this world cause it belonged to a Water god" Her hair was a bit dry now. He stood up and sat in front of her so he could look straight at her. "So what about you? Can you dwell in this world?" He asked "No I have to return Neifion" she said "And after returning it..is there any possibility that you will come back here?" "No" He squeezed her hands gently "There must be a way to come back" he said She nodded negatively. Her father would definitely ground her for life if she finally returned home. "When do you intend to go back?" Then she remembered the change in balance of the Sea. "Soon" She would return home and end the pain attached to the connection. "Ephyra please don't go.." He reached for her face "I can't possibly live without you" he said "Harry,you and I live in different worlds. We can't work out even if we want to be together forever" "We can make it work" "How?" She asked "We can find a way to break Neifion and throw it into the Sea. You are a Human now then we can be together" "That's impossible. I can't be with you forever. I have to be a full human to be able to do that.." "Is there a way to make you a full Human?" She was silent "When we first met,I told you myself that you'd cast a spell on me..and maybe I was right. But it pains me to find out that you'd be leaving soon" "I'm sorry Harry" she whispered in tears "I wish I could live here with you forever but I can't change the fact that I don't belong here" "So what do we do?" She wiped the tear that strayed down his cheek. "Please don't cry.." She said "I can't help it..stay a bit longer" he rested his forehead on hers "One year..two years or Five and when you're ready to leave we'll end things together. I'll be laid to rest here and you will return to your world" he said "No that's not a good idea. Harry,you have to stay with your Mom..think about her. You are all she has now..And this shouldn't be the end for you. Believe me you can love another woman if you want to.." "No I want you..only you" he said His gaze moving from her eyes to her full lips "I was surprised by how strongly you affected me. I love you Ephyra" "I love you too but -" He bent his head and laid his mouth on hers putting her words at Bay. Ephyra surrendered to the kiss and opened for him at the first touch. Long minutes passed and he didn't lift his mouth and suddenly she knew he wasn't as controlled as she'd thought. And if she didn't call it off,they would end up making love. And she didn't want such to happen between them. Fierceness swept through her,she gently pushed Harry. He drew back to look at her. Her breathe caught in her throat avoiding Harry's gaze. "I..I..don't think...it's a good idea" she said And he nodded in agreement He placed a kiss on her forehead "Can I go with you to the office now?" She asked "Sure but on one condition" "What condition?" He stood up and tucked his hands in his pocket "Go on a date with me tomorrow, the next and the next again. We'll stop a day to your departure" "We have a lot of work to attend to at the agency. And remember the Fashion runway is on Saturday" "Yea I know and everything is almost done and we still have enough time. I don't want to wake up one morning to find out that you're gone without going on a date with me" "Let's do it this way.." She paused "Go on" he urged her "Well attend to work first and go out later in the evening" "I want the whole day" he said "Come on Harry remember we agreed that we would attend to business when the need arises.." "And have fun the rest of the time" He reminded Ephyra rolled her eyes "No much work to do at the office so we can have fun" He was determined "Okay..we'll drop by at the agency first to check things out and then hang out.. Deal?" "Deal" he agreed with a beam on his face He leaned in and kissed her lips quickly "So how about we go out today?" He asked She giggled "Sounds good" she said "Go and get dressed while i change up too" He said "Okay" She gave him a bright smile. *** **** ***** I think Harry has accepted his Fate! ? How I wish she could stay with him forever ? Thanks for Reading

A WISH ??‍♂ Episode 26 Theme: Sea Dream THURSDAY MORNING "Good.." Harry kissed her before she could greet him. She hit his side gently to break the kiss. "Greetings..First.." She replied in between the kiss "Oh Sorry Love" He pinched her cheeks gently. He stepped into her room. Harry had opted in to a fitted black Jean and navy blue body hugging top that showed off his well built shoulders and sculpted chest. "I can see you are ready for another date" she teased him "Yes i enjoyed yesterday's date" he said "Likewise" "Hmm..So Miss hurry up and let's go" "I need to take a shower" "You woke up late.." "I slept late last night" she reminded with a wink They'd slept around 1:45pm yesterday. Harry had insisted that they visit many places together and they did. And when they arrived he requested that they cuddle and talk and play a love Game before going to bed. A beeping sound interrupted Harry when he was about to talk. It was his cellphone. "I'll be right back" She headed for the bathroom "Hello Mom" He Said "How are you doing? Isobel asked " I'm fine...you?" "I'm good..where is Ephyra? I haven't heard from her since she came to my office" He didn't want to tell her Ephyra was unconscious in between. "Hmm..she's very..very busy at work" "Helping you out with the preparation of the show?" "Yes" "Well I'm coming to the agency today to see you" she said Harry closed his eyes "Can't you wait till Saturday? She would be at the show" "No I want to see the both of you. We need to talk" Harry knew her visit was going interrupt their date. "I'll let her know you are coming over" He said "Bye" she ended the call "Hey love mom's coming to the office today!" He said loudly Ephyra grunted "I'll be waiting outside okay?" He said "I'll be out soon" she answered Then he moved out of the room ♥ ••• GOLDMYNES MODELLING AGENCY HARRY'S OFFICE "Wow! You look perfect!" Isobel said when she entered Harry's office. Harry hugged her before moving back to the single couch Ephyra sat on. They'd canceled their date for that day just to welcome Isobel. And she arrived late at the agency. "Good Day Ma" Ephyra greeted "How are you doing Ephyra?" She smiled at Ephyra "I'm fine..thanks" "Well I can see that..and I was told that you haven't used the cheque I gave to you" She said Ephyra exchanged glances with Harry. Oh! She had forgotten that she had a $1M cheque. She remembered where she dropped it. It was in a handbag in her closet. "Actually Mom we planned to visit the bank but we are so tied down with work here" "It's her money..not yours" Isobel said with a raised eyebrow "Well.. except..you guys are together now" Ephyra looked at her "I mean you are both in love so what's stopping you from starting a family together. You'd make a perfect couple" Harry looked at Ephyra. He wanted a life with her but that was impossible. He held her hand in his. "We're together" Harry spat Isobel shot them a surprised look "Is that true Ephyra?" "Yes mom we're dating now. And we planned to go on a date until you called in that you wanted to see us" Harry answered before Ephyra could say anything. "Why didn't you tell me?" Isobel wasn't happy that she'd interrupted their plans. "I would have come around tomorrow" she said with a frown "I tried telling.." "Your first date?" She cuts him off "No..second" Harry answered "Oh! I like that son!" She clapped excitedly Ephyra coughed "Are you okay?" Harry asked "Yes" She coughed again "I think I'll just get water" she stood up and moved out of the room. Mother and Son Drama! She wanted to be alone. If she stayed a bit longer in there then she would end up crying. Isobel leaned forward "You should plan to meet her family" she said Harry cleared his throat "So we can know the next step to take.." "What's the next step after meeting her family?" "You'll take her to the altar" "Ah! Not so fast mom. We're taking things slowly. There's no need to rush" "Well I'm sick and tired of staying alone in that Mansion. I want grandchildren" He said soberly "How many grand kids do you want?" He teased "Three..or four" "And you want Ephyra to be the mother of my children" "Of course!" She exclaimed "Don't worry we'll get married very soon and have children. And then you'll be a Grandma" he said Hoping things would just happen the way he'd just said it. He could imagine the smile on his mom's face at the sight of a baby in her hands. "I'll leave now so you can go on your date" she stood up ♦ °°° ♦ FRIDAY NIGHT "I'm so tired" Ephyra said as she pull off her shoes and flopped down on the couch. They just came back from the cinema. "Well today was Fun!" He handed her a glass of water. She sat up and collected it. "Thanks" she gulped down the whole glass and dropped it on the tray on the table. Tomorrow is the Fashion Runway taking place at his agency to show his models to the world and promote RRC wares. "Let's go to bed early so I won't wake up late tomorrow" "Yeah you are right" She stood up and he did the same thing. "Wait..not so soon Love" he grabbed her upper arm and pulled her to himself. "Well since we'd be very busy tomorrow and we might not get to talk to each other.. So I definitely want ten minutes with you" He said she noticed his eyes did a slow crawl to her lips. She tapped his chest. "I need to rest" she said "Five minutes" he said And he was bending over to kiss her when she said "I need to go to bed..alone" He stopped and raised his head "Did I say anything about going with you?" "No..but you were thinking it" she accused "Was I?" "Well..it looked like it" "I looked like I was thinking about going to bed with you" How had she gotten into this?! "Yes..you did" she said And how was she going to get out of it?! "Maybe you just thought that was what I was thinking because that's what you were thinking" Harry said without missing a beat He was right! "I..I..I..think.. I'll just..Say good night" She stuttered She found a smile on his face when she looked at him. And before she could think of everything. He came closer and kissed her. ♠ °°° ♠ IN THE MIDNIGHT (1:35AM) She dreamed she was by the beach. She sees a little boy crying by the sea shore with his legs in the Sea. "Excuse me?" He looked at her "Help me my People are in trouble" he said Ephyra glanced around to see his people but she saw no one. They were alone on the beach. "Your people? Where are they?" "Down there.." He pointed to the Sea "Beneath the Sea lies my kingdom and my people dwell in the Sea. They are in trouble! They need your help! Please Save them!" She looked down at him. Then she caught a glimpse of his magnificent tail in the Sea. "Come with me!" He sobbed She stepped backward "No I can't.." "Why? But you belong to my kingdom" "No! I belong to the Human World!" She screamed "You're wrong. Please Save us! He's Alive" he cried "Who is Alive?" She asked "Come back home" He went deeper into the Sea "Hey! Who is alive?!" She said loudly but he was already gone. "Ephyra!" Someone screamed. She looked back and she was transported under to sea. She saw a little merman crying with his palms on his face. She went to him. "Hey what's wrong?" She questioned He didn't respond "Can you hear me?" He looked at her "Save me.." He sobbed "Save -" He disappeared before she could finish her statement. She looked around the sea to find him until she saw the ugly Creature. The Greatest MERENEMY! Scylla! And she gasped in Fear "Scylla is Alive!" He roared Nooooo! She swims away quickly to Save herself. She woke up panting,drenched. Harry was by her side looking at her. "That was one hell of a nightmare you were having" he said softly It had been one hell of a nightmare! "I was about to wake you up" Does she know she screams? He wondered Maybe she doesn't know. It scared the hell out of him,waking up to see her head turning back and forth screaming. Noooo! Sweat pouring out of her. "I'm..so..sorry" she whispered struggling for air. Ephyra's eyes shifted wildly under her eyelid scanning the dark room. Seeing something terrible.. As Scylla! "Do you want to tell me about it?" He asked "No..no..I can't..not now please" she said shakily She got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom to empty the content in her mouth Into the toilet. "Scylla is Alive!" His roar echoed in her head What does that mean? Oh no! It shouldn't be what she was thinking! The Nightmares about Mermaids in the lake,getting trapped in a Sea trap,Mermen pleading with her to return home. Was it because Scylla was alive under the Sea? She wondered The bathroom door opened and Harry popped his head in. "Are you okay?" He held her hair up and switched on the tap to sprinkle water on face. "Sorry" He said Ephyra calmed a bit "Thanks" "Okay now?" She nodded They both walked back to the bedroom. Harry climbed into her bed. "Come here" He said "I..can't..sleep" she replied "Let's give it a try" She went to him and he pulled closer. She was held by the lulled of his warmth,shuddering as she came up against his body. "Calm down and relax" he murmured "Thank you" she said He kissed her hair. "Close your eyes my love" he mumbled, his thumb lightly grazing her eyelids. Her eyelid felt heavy. She felt secure with him close. His soft voice whispering and she fell asleep. ***** ********* ******* Are you thinking what am thinking ? Don't lemme talk now..but you don't reserve your comment. ?

A WISH ??‍♂ Episode 27 Theme: Save Me SATURDAY MORNING She opened her eyes and saw him sitting beside her drinking an orange juice. "I got you some too" he said She looked A glass of orange juice on the drawer beside the bed. She sat up and rested her head on the headboard. "Here.." He gave her a glass "Thanks" she murmured She drank from the glass and gave it back to him. "You don't want to talk about it?" He asked Ephyra closed her eyes. She felt weak as she recalled the Nightmare. "I'm..sorry" A tear slid down her chin as she knotted her hands together. "Hey..tell me about the Nightmare" He Said as he wiped her tear "I..have..to..go..back" she whispered unsteadily He rested her head on his chest "They need me in my world. Scylla is Alive" she sobbed She couldn't stop the tears. She didn't want to leave Harry Jones but not with Scylla alive under the Sea probably tormenting her Father's kingdom. "Who is Scylla?" he asked "The Sea Monster" "He's alive?" Harry asked with a frown She nodded "So you have to go back there to save your people and also return Neifion" He said She nodded "I'm sorry" she cried "I understand" He was heartbroken. He knew she would leave anytime soon. He had to be strong for her. He thought as he blinked back tears. He wasn't happy that she was leaving him. Ephyra lasted two minutes in tears before she calmed and said "I can't go with you to the agency" "Why?" He asked She didn't respond "You are leaving today?" He panicked Harry drew back to look into her eyes "No" she said "What?" "I need to find out if Scylla is truly alive" she said He studied her expression to see if she was telling him the truth. He couldn't read anything in her eyes. Her expression was Sad. "Please don't go now...not today" he murmured And she nodded He thought of staying at home to be sure that she won't leave today. "You can't miss your show" Ephyra said as if she had read his mind "Believe me I'll be here waiting for you" she assured him His eyes on her face studying her. Then his gaze moved to her lips. His Lips crashed on hers and she took him in eagerly. His tender and soft kisses breaking her bones, bringing more tears to her eyes. ♥ ^^^ Harry reluctantly left home to the agency that morning. Ephyra reassured him that she would be at home waiting for him. She grabbed a bathrobe and moved out of the house. She walked to the sea and came out of her clothes. She entered into the Sea and went deeper for complete transition. The wave of power rippled up her body and her tail appeared. She went farther into the Sea. The sea wasn't responding to her call. She sensed it was Sad when she got to the center. A mackerel fish passed by and she made a sound to it. The fish stopped and turned it tail to her so she could relate with it. She closed her eyes and listened "Scylla is alive!" Sh heard it again. She trembled in fear. The fish was from her Sea. Another sound from her and the fish went away. Scylla is Alive! She continued into the Sea. She closed her eyes and she heard another sound. Ephyra recognized it. A shark was approaching. These creatures go absolutely nuts when they get a whiff Of a mermaid underwater. She hid behind a sea rock until the shark moved away. Then she began to sing to the Sea as she swims higher and back to the shore navigating the Sea. "I am a fair Mermaid ??‍♀ Singing under the Sea ? I would sing to myself the whole day ? I would sing and say to the Sea ? Who is it that loves me? ? And who loves me not? ? Oh Sea! ? A rich and strange Deity! ? Mysterious in nature! I am a mermaid ?‍♀ Emerging from the blue waves ? With a fresh pink lips ? And an enchanting ivory breast ? with a splendid hair ? Falling on my alabaster shoulders. ☺ My eyes have the glow of a star✨ and the flashing fire ? of love ? I am a fair mermaid?‍♀" She raised her head above the waters. ? •••• ? GOLDMYNES MODELLING AGENCY "Son what's going on? I can't find Ephyra" Isobel said "She's not feeling well" he said "Where is she?" Isobel asked with a concerned tone "She's at home" "You should have taken her to the hospital before coming to the show" she did "No she'll be fine" "Maybe I should go and see her" "No..no she needs to rest" He didn't want her to go to his home. Ephyra might be in the Sea swimming or trying to get information about her world. "Are you sure?" "Yes mom why don't you just relax and enjoy today" He placed his hand around her shoulder. "Hey.." He gestured at an executive worker "Please take my mom to the Hall" He pushed her gently and turned towards the dressing room "Everything's ready?" He asked "Yes.. The make up artists are working on the Models" Ria said "Okay" He glanced around the room. And he brought out his phone to check if he has missed a call from Ephyra but none. ♣ ••• In the late afternoon, she wanted to change, clean up and prepare dinner before Harry's arrival. She got up and strode towards the porch. She decided that she would spend three days with Harry and then return to her world. She would definitely erase her traces from his memory, so he wouldn't think about her. She would be gone forever and Harry would move on with his life like she never existed in the Human world. She unlocked the door and stepped in. Suddenly she heard a crash in the kitchen..like someone was there. Ephyra jumped in fear when she heard the sound. And slowly,she motioned towards the kitchen. "Harry.." She called out No response Her heartbeat accelerated as she got closer to the entrance. She gasped in shock and fear when her gaze fell on the shattered glasses on the floor. She looked up. A man was there. She trembled in fear. He had searched the kitchen? How did he come in? She wondered She looked at the window, it was broken. He came in through the window. "Hello" he said with a grin Ephyra stepped backward and he moved closer "I couldn't find you at Goldmynes show so I decided to come look for you here" he said "Wh..who..are..you?" She panicked He laughed Her eyes scanned the room to see if she could grab anything to protect herself. He was getting close to her. "You are so..beautiful" he said His eyes inspected her from head to toe. Her eyes widened when he brought out a pen knife. "Don't try to run.." He said as they slowly moved out of the kitchen. She was afraid She thought of a way to save herself. "Stop" he ordered when they got to the sitting room. He stared at her seductively. He moved closer to her and placed the knife by her side. "Try to do anything silly..and I'll put this right in your side" His hand came up and closed around her face Hard. She was terrified and she stood immobilized. Steel? The knife was made of steel,piercing her with it no matter the size would definitely destroy her completely. Mermaids are always mindful of coming in close contact with a steel. Once stabbed, It takes a long period to heal completely as a mermaid. She tried to think of what to do,imagining what was going to happen to her. "It's wild..how you turn me on now" he said Pervert! His hand held her captive. She shook her head,her eyes started getting blurry from tears that sat there threatening to spill. Disgust and fear filled her as the man dragged her against him so abruptly, knocking air out of her lungs. "Dynamite body" he said,his right hand holding the knife by her side and the left still so tight around her jaw she could scarcely open her mouth. She wanted to beg him to go away or scream for help! No one was around! He brought her head forward,the strength in his one hand overpowering her. She tried to strain away despite the fear of the steel by her side but he kept her coming forward,then clamped his mouth on hers. His tongue pushing into her mouth. She shoved at him but it was like trying to push down a mountain. He didn't even sway under the impact. She struggled from him but suddenly the knife turn at her side and she screamed in pain. He let her go and she staggered back from him,gasping. "It was just a scratch" he grinned wickedly She looked at her side,blood staining the white bathrobe. Her eyes went to the door which was slightly opened, she could get to the door,run outside..but he would follow her. "Take off your bathrobe" he snarled His eyes determined She shook her head back and forth as she moved backward. "Wh..what..do..you..want..from..me?" He blocked the path to the door "Come on!" She shook her head violently He advanced towards her. She was getting out of focus with the pain in her side. How could this happen? Her side hurting! "I'll just make you take it off!" He pointed the knife at her "No..no..please" she panted He stopped. His dark and wild eyes stared at her. "Okay..maybe we don't need this now" he tucked the knife back in it place on his body. Then he leaped through the air between them,his arms grabbed her bathrobe,ripping it,pulling at it,getting it open while she tried to twist away,pushing at him using every ounce of her strength to push him off. She hit his chest with her fist,ignoring the slight bleeding from her side and then she pulled his ear. He stopped and slapped her across the face. So hard her head snapped around then she hit the floor banging the back of her head. He punched her as he knelt down above her,yanking at her bathrobe and almost exposing her breasts she caught a handful of his hair and pulled so hard as she could. He slapped her again trying to raise the bathrobe up from her waist. She closed her eyes and heard a zipper. She opened her eyes and saw him exposed. He wanted to take advantage of her! No she wouldn't let him do that to her! Bastard! She forcefully raised her knees and kicked him. She moved away quickly. He yelped in pain with his hands between his legs. "You cocky bastard! Pervert!" She hissed Tears set in his eyes as he struggled on his feet. He turned away and zipped his jeans. She reached for the knife behind his Jeans but he caught her and pushed her away. She hit the floor again and he stood over her with the knife. She swayed when he almost dropped it in his chest. She didn't know why he wanted to kill her or who had sent him over to this place. "Bitch!" He grunted She could see the anger in his dark eyes. He straightened and went forward. And when she was about sidestepping him the knife went straight into her stomach. She couldn't move "This is for rejecting me" He pushed it in once more "And for taking what doesn't belong to you" He gritted Her eye fell on the knife. He stepped back and marched to the door,flung it open and went bounding down the stairs. And Gone. She stood for several moments trying to catch her breath, her heartbeat wild. Her hands dropped to the knife and shakily she pulled it out. A sob erupted out of her mouth,then another. She was hurting all over! Slowly she moved to the couch to get her phone. The pain was horrid,she placed her hand in the wind,blood gushing out,staining the white robe. Her face burning where he'd hit her,crying her chest hurting. She dialed Harry's number - first ring,second... Her vision became blurry and she knew that she was losing consciousness yet again "Hello?" She heard his voice on the third ring. "Ha.." She couldn't speak "Hello Ephyra" he said His voice clear now "Sa..ve...me" she managed to say And in a slow motion she fell to the ground and blacked out. ? ••• Somebody please save Ephyra ? She can't die like that..? She was such a strong woman to be able to fight that Vins Bond ? Will Harry make it before she give up the ghost? Well find out in the next episode!

A WISH ?‍♀ Episode 28 Theme: Don't Die! ? FLASHBACK GOLDMYNES MODELLING AGENCY "I can't find her around" Vins said over the phone as his eyes searched the hall filled with people. "I can't find her too" Shawna replied as she walked down the hallway "So what do we do?" He asked "I'll try to find out from..someone" Then she saw Isobel and the executive worker. She ended the call. "Hello" Isobel said when their gaze met. "Good day Ma'am" they exchanged pleasantries "Wow..it's so good to see you again" Isobel said Shawna faked a smile "Have you seen Harry?" She asked "No,actually I've been trying to find him" she replied "He's in the dressing room" "With..Ephyra?" she asked "No she couldn't make it" Isobel said "Okay..I'll just check on him" "See you later" Isobel said Shawna walked away quickly. She dialed Vins Number "Hello?" "Ephyra is not here" she said "Where is she?" "Well..I don't know" "I thought you said she's living with Harry" "Yes but I don't know if she's still living with him" "What about Harry?" "I'm trying to find him" She strode towards the dressing door. "Get ready..you may need to drive to his home if she's there" She said A wicked smile formed on his face at the thought of him alone with Ephyra. "Sounds good" he said "I'll get back to you" She hang up She stepped into the large room. It was a bit crowded with stylists working on models. She looked for Harry and she found him with the famous clothe designer. They were engrossed in a conversation. Harry typed on his phone quickly before looking back at Ria. Then she went to him. "Harry.." She called His head snapped up and their gaze met. "Hey..Shawna" he looked surprised to see her "Hello" she greeted Ria "Oh Shawna! Meet my partner Mrs Ria Bryant the CEO of Ria Robert Couture" he did an introduction "Its really nice to meet you in person. I came for the show so I could see your designs" she lied "Really?" "Yes..I'm a fan of you designs" she said with a half smile "Nice to meet you Shawna" Ria shook hands with her Then Shawna looked back at Harry. "Can you spare me a minute?" She said He nodded "I'll be right back" he said to Ria "Well I'm happy with what's happening here today" "Thanks Shawna" "So..where is Ephyra?" She looked around pretending to find her. "She's not here" "Why?" "Uhmm she's not feeling well" He focused his attention on his phone and typed on it. She thought it was a good time to question him about her whereabout. "So..she's still staying at your place?" "Yes" He replied without looking at her Soon Harry..you'll come to me for comfort. "Excuse me Sir" A voice said And they turned to face a Lady in black suit "Yes Anne" he said "Miss Bella is here to see you" she said "The CEO of Bella Fashion house?" "Yes Sir" "Take her to my office. I'll be right there" he said "Okay Sir" Anne walked away He typed the last words and read it within him. "I hope you are feeling better? The show is moving as planned.. No problems. And mom sent her greetings. I'll be home soon" He sent it to Ephyra. "Shawna..I'm So sorry..I've to attend to Bella. Why don't you join mom in the hall" He dropped the phone into his pocket "Okay" she murmured "We'll talk later" he said and went to Ria. He said few words to her before moving out of the room. Shawna clenched her fists,her knuckles almost cracking. She hated the fact that he didn't pay attention to her. Shawna moved out of the room to call Vins "She's at his place" she whispered "Well I don't know his place" he replied "He lives alone by the beach" "Which beach?" "I'll text it to you" "Hold up..what if he shows up?" "I'll distract him while you are at his home. Don't waste too much time with her" "I can have fun with her before doing my job" "Whatever! Just do a clean job" "You can always count on me My lady. And I won't mind a night with you after the Job's done" Disgust filled her on hearing his words. She ended the call quickly and she sent a text to him. Now she needs to be with Harry so he won't think of going home now. It was getting to the end of the show. Harry said few words to the crowd and stepped down the stage. Shawna phone beeped. It was a message from Vins. "I'm at his home now" "Have you seen her" she sent it to him" "No..I'll still trying to get in" "Don't waste time" she typed quickly "Sure" She stood up and said to Isobel "I'll be right back" She moved out of the hall and made her way towards Harry's office. She would start a conversation to stop him from getting home. She had the perfect plan in her Head. She bumped into Anne "Oh excuse me..is Harry in his office?" "Yes Ma'am" "Thanks" She walked quickly to his office Shawna popped her head in "can I come in?" He was preparing to leave "Yes..I was about leaving" "Can you spare me a minute?" He looked at his wrist watch. He was in a hurry to leave and be with Ephyra. She stepped in "I understand that she isn't feeling well and you want to go and be with her..but can we talk?" Harry stared at her "Sure" He moved away from his desk "I can tell that what you feel for Ephyra is strong" she knotted her fingers "I love her" he said "Yeah..i know Harry" Then she started towards him. "But don't you think that's strange?" She said "What do you mean?" "Don't act like you haven't noticed some strange things about her" Their gaze locked and they stood staring at each other eye to eye. "There's nothing strange about her" he answered "Come on Harry,try to think" "What?" "You fell in love and she reconciled you and your mother..In one week. You never believed in love until you met Ephyra. And now you can't live without her" "Shawna.." "Eleanor saw everything" she blurted He closed his eyes. He remembered that Ephyra had erased Eleanor's memory to hide her secret but she'd told Shawna before she left the country. Maybe Ephyra needs to erase Shawna memory to keep her secret. He thought "That Lady isn't an ordinary Human. And you need to stay away from her" "Let's talk about this..some other time" he said "No Harry.." She blocked his pathway "You've changed" Her hands rested on his chest. He stepped back "Nothing changed..I only fell in love" he muttered Anger crashed over her. "What's so special about Ephyra?" She questioned "Harry listen to me..I love you and I don't want you to get hurt. Ephyra isn't good for you" "What about you?" He asked She leaned in and looked into his eyes. It was an act to stop him from getting home on time so Vins could do his job. Her hands went around his neck,brushing his hair. "Harry.." She murmured seductively "No..no Shawna" he pulled back. She eyed him when he turned away from her. "We can't work out. I'm in love with Ephyra" he said with a serious face. She stared at him and thought of another way to distract him. "You have to accept it" he said He grabbed his keys on his desk. "I'll go ahead now" She blocked the path to the door and in a swift movement she tiptoed and fastened her lips on his. Her tongue pushed into his mouth with her hand in his hair. He shoved at her but she held him close. His phone beeped in his pocket. First ring - second - and he pushed her away. Fury crashed over him as he stared at her with a wide eye. Her chest rising and falling. She couldn't move. Tinge of happiness rose within her because she'd kissed him. His phone buzzed and he turned away to pick it. It was Ephyra "Hello?" He said "Ha.." He didn't hear her clearly "Hello Ephyra" he said "Sa..ve..me" she said Those words echoed in his head. Save me? What was going on with her? He wondered His heartbeat rapidly and without saying anything to Shawna he rushed out of the office. He wiped his mouth as he raced to the garage. His thought on Ephyra as he drove home at an high speed. Hoping all was well with her. Shawna called Vins Bond and he told her that he had murdered Ephyra in Harry's home. She was happy! Soon Harry would be hers..alone. She thought "You know that bitch turned me in badly" he said "So why didn't you take advantage of her?" "She was too strong" he admitted "So you can't win against a woman" she gritted Vins was silent. Anger boiled within him at her words. She was calling him a weakling! "When do I get my payment?" "Tomorrow" "No..I want it tonight" "I need to be sure if she's dead before I pay you" "Then I'll call Harry Jones and tell him everything" He hang up He redialled his number but he didn't pick up. He wanted his payment! "Come and get your payment" she sent it to him "I want it in cash" he replied "I'll be waiting in my car outside the agency" "No I'll decide the meeting place. No deal? And I'll call Harry Jones" he threatened "Okay" she replied "I'll send an address to you" he responded She walked to the garage and waited for Vins text. Seconds passed and his message came in. **** "Ephyra!" He screamed As he bounded up the stairs into his home. And his heart broke into pieces when he saw Ephyra in the pool of her own blood. "No..no..no" he rushed to her "Ephyra! Wake up!" His eyes fell on the knife on the floor, he opened her bathrobe and saw the wound on her stomach. He couldn't believe his eyes. "Wake up" He shakes her but her hand dropped. A sob erupted in his throat. "Please wake up Ephyra!" He stood up and gather her up in his arms "Don't..die..on me" he chanted as he carried her into the car. He drove out of the driveway in a close rush. JACOB HOSPITAL He saw the body on the stretcher. She was pushed into a ward. She looked familiar, laying lifeless on the stretcher with an oxygen tube on her nose. His gaze moved to the man following the medical team in a rush. Harry Jones. He saw them from the third floor. Ephyra! He pushed his way through the patients and nurses to get to the ward. His heartbeat rapidly. "Sir you can't come in.." A nurse stopped Harry and closed the door. They set to revive her with machines. Harry stood outside the ICU. Fear filled him. Tears set down his eyes as he watched the medical team from the transparent glass on the door. First press on her chest with a shocker - the second and - third. The machine beeped and her heartbeat dropped on a straight line. The team exchanged glances. He knew what that meant. She can't die! "No!" He screamed He barged into the room and rushed to her. They tried to get him out of the room but he overpowered them. "No..please.." He held her tightly He struggled with the team "Don't leave..me" he sobbed He couldn't accept that she was dead! He recalled that she'd promised to wait for him but she ended up dying in his home. How? What had happened while he was at the agency? He tried to catch his breathe,his heartbeat wild. His chest hurting that he couldn't bear the pain. "Please..come back.. to me" he stuttered *** ** MERWORLD Kenan sat in front of the king trying to make connection with Neifion. The 16 princes sat in the throne hall all waiting for Kenan to make the connection. He closed his eyes and chanted a spell. They watched Kenan in silence. Suddenly he shook violently. He couldn't control the wave of power that surged through him. They exchanged confused glances "Kenan" Morrissey called He convulsed. "Kenan!" Oceanus yelled Azizi rushed to him "Kenan!.. Kenan!" He shakes him up Kenan heard the faint voices in his head as they gathered around him. A white light appeared and the vision came to him. He saw Ephyra in blood,a man appeared to save her with tears in his eyes. Humans! He saw them in white robes trying to save Ephyra. Then it ended. Kenan jolted up from sleep. "Are you okay?" Morrissey asked He glanced around. He was on a bed, Oceanus looking straight into his eyes. He relaxed "What happened?" Kenan asked "You passed out during connection" Morrissey answered He closed his eyes and the vision flooded his mind's eye. "The princess is in trouble" he said "What?" Oceanus gasped "And I think she'll end up dying in that world" He said in a sad tone as he told them the Vision. Tears set in Azizi eyes at the thought of not seeing Ephyra again. "She can't die in that world" Azizi said "That's the vision the Sea gave me" "We need Almeta" Morrissey said "She has to return home" Colbert added Oceanus exhaled roughly "Kenan isn't there a way to save her from our world?" Kenan was silent "Say something.." Azizi said impatiently "CHANTARA" Kenan muttered with his eyes closed "CHANTARA?" They repeated "Yes" he reopened his eyes "Why CHANTARA?" Morrissey asked "CHANTARA is the only way to save our princess in that world" "Do we transport the moon water into that world?" Azizi asked "No" "Please Kenan go straight to the point. We don't have much time to waste" "We'll make connection with her through CHANTARA (moon Water) since Neifion can't be reached. And CHANTARA will revive Neifion and our princess" "Azizi do you have one in your treasure box?" Oceanus asked "I'll find it" He moved out of the room "What else do you need?" "Wanwisa and I will make the connection" Kenan said "Colbert summon Wanwisa to the throne Hall" Oceanus ordered "Okay Father" he swims off *** *** "Oh Great Sea I come to thee today With the CHANTARA (moon water) in my hands To revive the princess" Kenan chanted the spell with his hands locked with Wanwisa. She repeated the same spell. They chorused in a loud tone "Oh Great Sea Go into the Human World And revive the chosen one" He released Wanwisa. His hands began to glow brightly, powers sparking in his palms and he set it in the CHANTARA bowl. White sparks shot out of their fingertips into the water. Kenan shook violently. Wanwisa felt the shock wave of power that radiated out of Kenan. "Revive the princess!" Kenan screamed Instantly the glowing light moved up and went out of the sea into the Human world. ♠ HUMAN WORLD JACOB HOSPITAL James stood outside the Ward. He watched in stunned silence as Harry held Ephyra tightly. He was alone with her. James didn't know if he should go in. He was shocked that Ephyra was dead. Tears streamed down Harry's cheeks. "I love you..so much..come back.. to me" Harry whispered minutes passed, and suddenly her body convulsed like she had been shocked with electricity. She slipped from his arms and landed on the bed with a thud. She remained unconscious. Her body shimmered with unrealized force. "Doctor!" Harry screamed James rushed in,his gaze meeting Harry's. He asked Harry to move away. Then he moved out of the room and alerted the nurse at the desk. He drew a deep breath and waited outside the ICU. He watched James bark out orders to the team. They repositioned to resuscitate Ephyra. Several minutes passed and then he could sworn that her fingers flinched. He held his breathe and watched intently. He ran his hand in his hair,tears dripping again,down his chin. She was going to make it! He could feel it. A gasps of happiness mixed with tears as he continued to murmur. "I love you Ephyra.. Please come back to me..just a little bit more now.." Then she opened her eyes slowly to the voices in the air. Her chest rising and falling. Harry looked at the machine and he couldn't help the cry of joy and relief. Her breathing was in a steady rhythm. She was injected and soon she fell into consciousness again. James set his team to stitch up her wound. Thankfully that no damage was done to her internal organs. She was lucky that it was pen knife. And it was indeed a miracle! A nurse came out and asked Harry to follow her to sign some papers. He signed it and prayed over and over again that she would be fine. ****** ?? And I guess I tried my best ? You were scared while reading the beginning right? Thinking Ephyra was dead..like gone! ? Nah it was just suspense ? Keep loving it

A WISH ?‍♀ Episode 29 Theme: Karma ? She came out of the car,her eyes surveying the dark area. Shawna brought out her phone to check the address Vins had sent to her. She looked beyond and saw the small sized house. She dialled his number and he picked immediately. "What's taking you so long?" He asked "I'm outside" "Oh!" "Yes..come outside" "No you have to come in. Remember am to decide things here" "Okay.." She murmured She made her way to his front door. She wondered what Vins was up to by asking her to come to his house. Shawna pressed the bell and the door opened. A huge grin on Vins face. His chest was bare and he'd a white towel around his waist. Her eyes did a slow crawl on his body. Chest and shoulders bare and muscular,his stomach flat and the line of hair from his navel downward. "Are you here to drool over my body? Or give me my payment?" She swallowed hard "Oh..I..I.." She stuttered "Want some coffee?" He asked "No..no.." "Come on! We're friends now!" He coaxed He opened the door wide "Let's grab a drink before you leave..just to celebrate your victory" He said with a croaked smile Oh no that's not cool! She couldn't take her eyes off him. It was also hard to maintain her train of thought. So without thinking she stepped in and Vins closed the door. "So did you get to meet Harry?" "Yes" she stared at him "I'm sure he's crying now" he chuckled And she nodded slowly Pay him and leave! She thought Yes! She can't keep standing like an idiot. She opened her bag and brought out an envelope. "This is the balance" He collected it and checked into it. And he tossed it on the nearest couch. A wicked smile formed on his face. He didn't want the money tonight. He wanted her. Vins wanted to prove to her that he could win against any woman. And he was determined to take her with force if she rejects him. "Our meetings ends now?" "Yes" Her answer was sharp She started towards the door "You're forgetting something" his voice stopped her She faced him and said "What?" He advanced towards her and blocked the path to the door. She froze the moment his hands clasped her waist. He pulled her against him. "I asked for one night with you" She shoved at him but he didn't sway. "Don't fight me My lady" His fingers grazed her cheeks "I paid you Vins" "Yes..but I want to prove to you.." His hands covering her breast. She began to tremble. "That I can win a woman. I'm up for any challenge" Her breast fitted his palm perfectly. And she didn't know why she wasn't telling him to stop. His lips found hers and her bag dropped to the ground. She couldn't say no to him. "You want me..don't you?" He asked "Why..why are.. you doing this?" She asked unsteadily He kissed her roughly "Do you want me to stop?" His lips parted. She stared at him. Then she could feel the heat rising between her legs. "Vins.." "I know you want me" he chuckled His hands on her shoulder, he put his mouth to hers. She reached up to him,her legs wrapped around his waist. They kissed until he carried her into his room. Then they were falling together on the bed. She shouldn't be doing that with him but she didn't care. She wanted that moment with him. And she closed her eyes to block the image of Harry in her mind's eye. **** **** JACOB HOSPITAL "What happened?" James asked "I don't know" Harry whispered "What?" "You heard me" "Are you saying you don't know how she ended up like that?! In your home?!" James yelled Annoyance clear in his tone Harry could see the anger in his eyes. "Now tell me you didn't stab her!" James accused "No I didn't!" Harry eyes widened in shock How could he do such a thing to the woman he loved wholeheartedly? " You..Bastard!" James fist collided with his lips. Harry staggered a little. "She was at your home! And you didn't know how she got stabbed!" He tried to punch Harry again but Harry outsmarted him,his own fist landed on James jaw. "What about you?!" He snarled Two men arrived with Isobel in the hallway. They rushed to separate them. "Turning your back against her!" He yelled A man grabbed Harry while the second held James. "You knew she'd no one else but you pushed her away and cut her off completely! Why?! Because she was in love with me!" "Shut the fuck up you fool!" "Coward! You should have confessed to her if you were man enough! And not pushing her out of your lives because she loved another in your place!" "You don't deserve Ephyra!" James shouted "I deserve her because I'm better off than you! At least I value everything that comes my way. And I don't take advantage of people!" James tried to reach him but the man held him in place. "I'll kill you if Ephyra dies" James threatened "Stop this Harry!" His mom said "She won't die! Ephyra's gonna make it!" The men took James out of the Hallway "Oh son.." A tear dropped down her chin when her gaze fell on his busted lips "I'll be fine Mom" "You shouldn't have fight with him" "He started it..that fool accused me of stabbing Ephyra" he spat "Why would he think like that? Who is he?" "Ephyra's.. He's like a family friend.." "I'll sue him for laying his hands on you" "You don't have to press charges on him" Ephyra won't be happy with him if he decided to press charges on James. "We should focus on finding the killer" he said "We found him" Isobel said "Who is he?" "Vins Bond" a voice said They both looked up and the two men were there. "Vins Bond?" He repeated "Son..they are detectives. I made a report to the station after you called me" Isobel explained "I am Detective Chad" the first man said "Detective Derrick Thompson. We are from the Criminal Investigative Department of the Police Force" the second Man introduced "We went to your home as soon as your mom made the report at the station. And when we got there,we found out that what happened was a clear case of attempted Murder. Someone tried to kill your girlfriend" Chad said "Who are you suspecting?" Derrick demanded "You just said Vins Bond" Harry said "Do you know him?" "I haven't heard about him" "Why did you leave her alone at your place?" Derrick questioned "We'd planned to go to the show together but this morning she wasn't strong enough to come with me" "So how did you know she needed help?" "She called me" he said Derrick and Chad exchanged glances. Ephyra last call was made to Harry and he'd even sent her a text before she called him. "We found the killer thanks to the CCTV cameras around your home" Chad said "We played the tape and saw how he tried to kill your girlfriend" Derrick Said Harry balled his fists "Is she related to Vins Bond?" Chad asked Ephyra doesn't have any relative in this world! He wanted to say but he held back his words. "Or maybe Vins was her Ex?" "No!" Harry said loudly He was her first in Everything! And no one else! "You know the killer then go and find him! Before he makes his way out of town!" He said angrily "We just want to know if your girlfriend has any connection with Vins Bond" Derrick said calmly "She doesn't!" "Vins Bond is a criminal. And he's been on the run for years now" "Find him! And get justice for my girlfriend!" He threw his hands up in frustration and turned away "Please find him before he kills another innocent lady" Isobel said They nodded "We'll get back to you as soon as we find anything" Derrick said "Thank You" she said And they walked away "Son you need to relax" "No I can't relax mom. I Have no idea of who that killer is and why he wanted to end her life" She hugged him "She'll be fine" she murmured Harry buried his face in her neck and sobbed like a little boy. "She'll make it Son" she reassured him ∆∆∆∆∆ ∆∆∆∆∆ She opened her eyes to soft darkness only a dim lamp provided brightness in the room. Vins was laying naked beside her. She sat up immediately. She looked under the blanket and she saw that she was naked too. What has she done to herself again? She had vowed to never give herself away to any man except she was sure he was in love with her and he truly wanted a long time commitment. But she'd broken that vow. She closed her eyes. Disgust filled her when she looked down at sleeping Vins. She hated him at that moment. It was hard to say no to him,maybe because she was scared he would tell Harry everything if she'd rejected him. She should leave before he wakes up! And she would never get to see him again! Slowly as she tried to get out of bed,his hand snaked around her. "Leaving?" He said with a husky voice He wasn't sleeping. She thought "Yes" "Its late" he pointed to the small clock on the drawer. It was 11:30pm. "I'll make it to my apartment in twenty minutes" she said Vins sat up She got out of bed quickly and searched for her clothes. Her anger towards him was beyond this world. "Why are you in hurry to leave me?" He asked And she said "I'm disappointed" Annoying and harsh words at him and he would let her go. She thought "What do you mean?" "I thought I was going to feel pleasure but I felt nothing..just emptiness after love making" She found her top on the floor and jeans at the foot of the bed. "You're so weak in bed" she grounded Anger and fury crashed over him. She'd done it again. He hated it when he was been looked down on. He hopped out of bed. He was determined to teach her a lesson. She would learn to always talk the right way even if its meant for him to break her bones. He grabbed her upper arm before she could say the next word. She tried to push him away but he slapped her across the face. Her face burned, tears set in her eyes as he pushed her on the bed. She was stunned at the new beast Vins. "I'll show you the monster in Vins Bond" he punched her He was insane! How had she gotten into this mess with him? "No..no" she begged when he pulled her under him "You'll feel pleasured now" He kissed her hard on her lips. She grabbed his hair and bit him. He drew back and she spat in his eyes. Another resounding slap landed on her face. His hands grabbed her neck and without thinking he tightened his hold around it. She tried to catch her breath but he was strangling her. Then she went limp under him. She stopped fighting and darkness came over her. Seconds clicked by and he relaxed a bit. Shawna eyes were widely open, staring him but she didn't move. He came back to his senses "Shawna.." He tapped her She didn't respond. He stood up and raised her hand but it dropped. Then he gasped in shock when he felt her pulse. No Pulse! Shawna was dead! "Oh..no..Vins what have you done?" He panicked "Wake up Shawna!" He slapped her gently on her cheeks No Response He moved away from his bed and rushed to his closet to grab a few clothes. He searched for his car keys after wearing his clothes. Thank Goodness he still had the money Shawna gave him. He would leave town immediately just like he used to after committing a crime. He rushed to the sitting room and grabbed the envelope on the couch and tucked it into his holdall bag. He unlocked the door and stepped out to the porch. Suddenly he heard it...Sirens! And then knew he was surrounded by cops. He turned and saw the cops waiting with their guns. "Drop your weapon! And place your hand behind your head!" Derrick barked out Vins regretted his actions tonight. He didn't even take his gun in the drawer to defend himself. Shit! Slowly he did as Derrick ordered. He knew this was his end. No more running from the Cops. Derrick came to him and handcuffed him. Some cops moved into his home. Shawna! He thought "Boss there's a body in his house" A cop said to Derrick And he confirmed that she was dead. He called the ambulance before taking Vins to the station. ♣ ••• TWO DAYS LATER JACOB HOSPITAL He sat on the bed in a private ward. He scooted forward and grabbed Ephyra's hand,stroking her arm. His lips fell on her cheek and grazed along the side of her face and ear as he whispered words of love to her. Her skin was more warmer and she was more than half healed. The CHANTARA had made a connection with her in the human world. And she experienced regenerative healing with the powers in the moon water. "You are going to make it my Love" He could feel it and he knew it because she was responding to treatment. Ephyra woke up slowly to someone grazing her face. Then she coughed, her chest rising and falling. Harry glanced at her and once again he couldn't help his joy,happiness and relief. "You're awake!" Ephyra groaned deeply when she felt slight pain in her stomach. Harry stroked her face and kissed her cheeks. She stared at him, her voice was hoarse but she got the word out. "Harry.." "Yes!" He laughed,barely able to see through his tears. "I'm here..! Right here" She smiled at him He hugged her tightly "You came back to me" He muttered "I told you I wasn't going to leave" she whispered "I love you so much" he said excitedly She drew back to look at him. A huge smile on his handsome face "I love you too" she answered Even though it hurts that she was leaving soon. The vision of her kingdom didn't stop coming in her conscious state. Ephyra knew she'd to end things with him before Scylla destroys her world. He kissed her lips before pulling back to look at her. "They found him" he said "Who?" "The guy that stabbed you" Then the memories flooded her mind, she remembered everything "My Love many things has happened since your incident" "I don't know him..I haven't met him before.. And I tried to fight him but..." He shushed her "I know..and the guy confessed to the police" "Who is he?" "Vins Bond, he's an ardent criminal. He's been on the run from the cops for years now" Harry said He squeezed her hands gently "The truth is that Shawna sent him" "What?" He explained everything to her without leaving a detail "So she sent him to kill me so she could be with you and.. then she ended up dying in his hands too" Ephyra said in tears He nodded "Please don't cry my Love...all of that is over now. Vins Bond won't go scot free..I promise" He said "I feel pity for Shawna. It's sad she's gone" She sobbed in his chest "That's enough" He silenced her Ephyra lasted few minutes in tears. She couldn't believe Shawna could go to such extent of ordering someone to kill her so she could be with Harry. That's Terrific! Harry wiped her tears with his fingertips and said "Perhaps are you still going back to your world?" She stared at him "Yes Harry i can't stay here anymore. My people needs me to save them" "So when do you want to leave?" "Arrange for my discharge" "You need to get better.." "I can't heal completely in this world. I need the Sea Nutrients to cover up my wound and be whole again" "Why?" "Steel it's dangerous to our system" But Ephyra was surprised that she was still alive in that world after taking that steel. She sensed something about her healing but she couldn't figure the exact thing she was feeling. "Okay..but stay a day..or two before leaving" "Harry.." She wanted to object No he didn't want objection! "I understand you have to save your people.. But what about me? Have you ever thought of what would Happen to me after your departure?" She reached for his face and wiped a tear that strayed down his cheeks "I'm..so sorry" she apologized She had a plan in her heart which would be erasing everything about her from his memory so he would move on with his life. There must be a way to be a full human like Harry Jones. She thought deeply No answer came to her head. It was blank. Everything that has happened in this world would be a memory in her head when she finally reached her world. Then she would find a way to forget him and go back to the life she used to live. A knock came on the door. Harry wiped his face clean and said. "Come in!" James popped his head in first and his gaze met Ephyra. Gideon stepped in behind him. "James..Gideon" she said She was stunned Ephyra looked back at Harry "I'll give you some minutes with her" Harry said Gideon went to her "Thank You" James said to him He'd apologized to Harry when Vins Bond confessed that he'd tried to kill Ephyra. And during James stay with Harry and while watching Ephyra he realized that Harry was truly in love with Ephyra. "Hi" Ephyra said without meeting James gaze. Harry moved out of the room "How are you feeling?" "I'm better" she answered James drew a deep breathe "You can yell at me.. and hit me if you want..I deserve the worst for pushing you away from our lives" She fiddled with her fingers "To be honest I was mad at you because you fell in love with Harry. And I acted without thinking because I had feelings for you too" Ephyra met his gaze "I was such a fool to have done such to you" "It's fine James" Her arms around Gideon's shoulder "I'm sorry.. And please forgive me" "James i have nothing against you" she murmured "I messed up..big time" "It's okay.." That was all she could say to him. Ephyra decided that it was best to erase their memories too. "I missed you" Gideon said childishly "Same here" Ephyra gave him a faint smile "Can I go home today?" She asked James "You're half healed" "But I'm fine now" she said "I'll talk to the doctor in charge" James said after long silence. She nodded Ephyra placed a kiss in Gideon's hair as she blinked back tears that threatened to spill anytime soon. Everything would end soon! Ephyra realized that it was just a Wish! She never thought it would end this way. And she secretly wished that she would return to the human world again some day. **** **** Thanks for Reading! Wow! It so sad Shawna died!

A WISH ??‍♂ Episode 30 Final Episode Theme: Goodbye THREE DAYS LATER She sat up all cuddled in his arms by the sea. It was time to say goodbye to Harry Jones. She'd erased James,Gideon and Isobel's Memory the day she got discharged. "There must be a way to be a full Human" He murmured Ephyra nodded negatively "Let's give up" she whispered "No,I'll be right here waiting for you" "Please don't wait.." "I can't love another woman. And I can't bear the thought of living without you" He held her closely That's the main reason she wanted to erase his memory. So he would move on and love another. "Please find a way to come back. I'll wait for you even if its 10years..or 20 years" he said She chuckled "You'd be old by then.." "Then we'll grow old together til death do us apart" No she didn't want that for him. "I love you" he said She pulled him closely,her mouth covered his and he opened up to her. She pulled his lower lip into her mouth,holding it between her teeth before sucking on it. He coaxed her tongue into his mouth,licking and kissing. A groan released from his chest as his hold on her grew impossibly tight. She didn't know how long she was locked in his embrace. Time stood stil as they said everything they'd to say,words,emotions and thoughts were expressed in this kiss. He finally released her. Ephyra breathe heavily as Harry stood up. He reached out to her and helped her up. He stepped back and spoke quietly. "You can leave now" Harry was only holding back. Ephyra stifled a sob "Thank You" They both stared at each other for a long moment. His fist were clenched in restraint. This was it. Finally he nodded,his eyes tight. "Good bye" And he said nothing else,his jaw locked. She stepped backward and walked to the Sea. And she realized that walking away from him had been harder than she thought it would be. They'd grown together, closer than expected. She never could have imagined that he could be her lover and caregiver. Her heart would still belong to him. She loved Harry - that fact was irreversible. She looked at Harry,his back turned at her. "Good bye Harry" she murmured And she focused on the Sea and began to sing. "Fall,Fathom,Five Beneath the Sea, My Father lies, My kingdom made of Coral and pearl I would return now to the Sea Hall In the Sea wolds on the crimson shell Whose silvery spikes are nighest the Sea" She sang and slowly she disappeared. She reappeared under the sea with her golden tail clear and bright. Suddenly she heard it. "Scylla is Alive!" A thunderous roar from the Cave. She was in her kingdom. She made her way towards the secret cave leading to the Sea Hall since the main gate was locked. Harry reopened his eyes. And like a dream he couldn't remember anything. He touched his wet face and wondered why he was crying. He felt something was missing within him but he couldn't tell. And slowly he walked to his home. "Ephyra?" Someone called behind her She turned to see Azizi standing In the hallway. "Azizi" she muttered He went to her and hugged her tightly "You came back!' He gasped "Yes Brother" "Oh My Sea!" He drew back to look at her "What happened in that world?" He pointed to her half healed wound on her abdomen. Her gaze fell on it and she covered it with her palms. "It a long story" Then he carried her up in his arms and made his way to the throne hall. And they all gasped in shock when they saw Ephyra in his arms. "Almeta!' Tethys screamed And she went to her. She hugged her tightly and Ephyra groaned. "Careful Mother she has a wound" Azizi said Tethys drew back. Ephyra embraced the rest of her family except her father who sat on the throne anger burning in his eyes. She placed her hand in her abdomen and went to him. "Forgive me Father" she said He didn't respond "I have committed a grievous sin against the throne, so punish me according to law" she said with her head bowed. Oceanus eyes examined her intently. He sensed that she was in pain. "Go to your room" he said finally She nodded Azizi and Colbert went to Ephyra and helped her to her chamber. "Get Kenan" Oceanus said to no one In particular "No I'll heal Almeta" Tethys said "No its different. Let Kenan heal her completely" "I can heal her completely with my powers too" "Can you bear it?" "Yes" she gave him a slight bow "Okay" Tethys said She moved out of the room. **** "Oh Scylla you're ever merry Your bones as coral made With pearls in your eyes Nothing of you that is awful The sea nymph ring at your kneel! Hark! Now hear me sing Scylla!" Ephyra sang the powerful spell song to put Scylla back to sleep. She hid her scent with a paint waxed over her body. Scylla paraded the Sea. He heard her beautiful voice. He searched but he couldn't find her. He withdrew in defeat and entered his cave. Suddenly he felt sleepy and lay his head down. He couldn't resist it. "Lean into comfort and rest forever" She completed the spell song Scylla closed his eyes and slept. Six princes came out of hiding from sea rocks and sealed up the entrance of the cave. And Colbert tightened the locks with his powers. They swim back to the main street of Merillia Kingdom with smiles on their faces. Shouts of joy erupted from the citizens of Merillia. "Long Live our Princess who has put Scylla back to sleep!" Chantae screamed "Long Live the Royal Family!" They shouted in unison. Song of Sea echoed in the Sea. Song of Victory! They sang merrily and danced for long moments. Suddenly Ephyra felt a sharp pain in her belly. Neifion came off her wrist and Azizi grabbed it. She felt light and dizzy. She staggered a little,her vision getting blurry by second. "Almeta..are you okay?" Azizi lifted his hands to her side. She couldn't breath "Almeta" someone called but soon the voice faded off as her eyes rolled to the back of her head,darkness claiming her as its own. ♠ •••• She could hear hushed voices as she lay on bed. She pry open her eyes before closing them again. "She's awake" Tethys said,coming next to Ephyra. She opened her eyes again,blinking rapidly to clear her vision. She saw Marianna the Royal physician,her father and Azizi. "Almeta, you're awake" Tethys said gratefully She tried to get up but Marianna stopped her. What was she doing in the Royal Infirmary? "You shouldn't move yet" She pushed her back down lightly. Ephyra frowned in confusion. "What happened?" She said in a rasp She looked at her father. He gave her a concerned look. "Why am I here Mother" "You don't know?" Oceanus asked "Know what? What should I know?" She asked They all exchanged glances. Tethys shut her eye as Marianna cleared her throat. "My princess, you're -" She hesitated "What?" "You're expecting" "I'm what?" "You're carrying a baby in your womb" Marianna said "What?!" Her mind went blank,not comprehending what she had just said. "You're pregnant Almeta" Azizi said The words echoed in her head. Her hands caressed her belly. There was a life in it. Harry's baby was growing in her womb. No doubt about that cause they'd made love. ******* FLASHBACK ******* Rated (+18) So back off if you aren't up to this age! ∆••••∆••••∆ "Maybe you just thought that was what I was thinking because that's what you were thinking" he said He was right! She'd pictured them making love in her mind's eye. "I..I think..I'll just say goodnight" She found a smile on his face and before she could think,he came close and kissed her. His hand went to her hair,spreading his fingers,letting it slide,silken through, around over his hand. A fine tremor ran through her and her hand slide up inside the back of his top,feeling the smoothness of his skin. The tightness of his hands behind her,unzipping her dress while they kissed into the bedroom. Pleasure swimming over her. He broke away for a moment to remove his top, pulling it off over his head,dropping it to the floor. Her dress dropped and he unhooked the straps covering her breasts. His hand covered her breast. She began to tremble. "You're beautiful" he said with his eyes on her,studying her. She couldn't move. "We..shouldn't.." "Do you want me to stop?" She stared at him Her nipples going hard,her belly quivering. "Why do..you want.. to do this?" She asked shakily "I want you to have a desire to comeback here when you return to your world" "Harry.." He brushed his mouth against hers. His hands gently cupping her breasts. "This is your first right? Or am I wrong?" "No..no.I haven't..done it" She shook her head "Same here My love" he coaxed His mouth on her ear,throat and the side of her neck. She felt so frightened watching him caress her breasts,telling her words of love. He pressed his mouth on her belly and she felt it twitched. His kisses everywhere,on her body,hand moving up and down her thighs. He inched down her flimsy panties. He swooped down,spread her legs with the palms of his hand flat at the apex of her thighs. He opened his mouth on her,his tongue curdling against her. She felt strange and different making love with a human. And he was connecting to her. He wasn't forcing,gently kissing. The muscles in her belly became tight. He looked at her and their eyes locked. I love you..I don't know I could. She thought His kisses breaking her bones creating an ache inside her. He covered her again. She closed her legs to hold him there,moving against his head, the pressure building inside her. He lifted his head to look at her and he closed over her nipple gently. Her body convulsed. He moved to her lips and she kissed him feverishly,her hand gliding up and down his back. It was a fantastic dream being in bed with her. Pleasure rose...something none of them had ever done. The sensation so strong. She secured his mouth to hers. Lifting close and extending her legs and he held her down. And she knew he wanted to come into her. And she went down,holding still to take him in. So glad to hold her,watch her face as he moved in her,ripping away her virginity. She felt the sharp pain as Harry covered her mouth. She felt it...Love in his mouth. He held her moving slowly into her. Moment passed and they moved the faster dance with his mouth on hers. They both exploded Then he lay at her side making patterns on her belly,kissing her. At last he sat up,smiling, to kiss her mouth,his lips so cool. "I love you" he murmured She dragged air into her lungs before saying to him. "I love you too" Then they'd slept until she had the nightmares,he held her. And they'd made love again in the morning before he went to the agency. **** FLASHFORWARD **** "How did you end up having a baby?" Oceanus questioned with a frown "Actually, I fell in love with Human" "What?!" They gasped in shock "Well i think we should be more concerned about the baby" Marianna placed her hands on Ephyra's belly with her eyes closed. "What do you mean?" Azizi asked Marianna shuddered hard. She opened her eyes and looked at Ephyra. "He was your first?" She asked Ephyra nodded "This child can't survive in this world" she grounded "Why?" Tethys said "It's a full Human" she replied "I don't understand" Oceanus said with another deep frown on his face "The First mating between our kind produces another. Same thing applies to mating between a human and mermaid if it's a first" Marianna explained "What kind?" "A Human" "Why not our kind?" Azizi questioned frantically "Her first mating was with a full human" Ephyra was lost in thought. She was trying to think of the possibilities. Oceanus eyes were on her with his lips pressed together. Mating was a sacred thing in the MERWORLD. "You can't have the baby!" Oceanus blurted Ephyra snapped out of thought "I can't let you raise a monster in my kingdom!" He spat He knew that accepting that child would be a pass for her to leave their world. "Father.." He silenced her "My lord,you have to take heart and accept the baby" Marianna gave out consequences attached to keeping the baby in their world. "She has to leave" she advised and concluded She was carrying Harry's child! This wasn't how she expected things to turn out for her! Tears gathered in her eyes. Even though her father agreed to let her go back to the human world Who would she turn to for help? How was she going to explain her identity to Harry?when she'd erased his memory. She rubbed her belly In circles. She has to be strong to her baby. *** **** "She would start having complications if you keep her here" Tethys persuaded Oceanus when they got to his chambers. "You Want her to leave too?" He asked "I don't have a choice since it the only way to save our grandchild" Tethys said "She would be gone forever!" "She doesn't belong her anymore" "So we let her go?" He asked again "She loves that world. And the one she loved dwells in that world" She embraced Oceanus Even though it hurts that she won't get to Ephyra again,but she had to accept it. It was the only option to save the baby. And Tethys was willing and ready to save the baby. "So what do you say My Lord?" Oceanus was silent "My Lord.." "She can leave if the sea grants it" He muttered "Okay" She pulled away from him and went to Ephyra's chamber "Please mother save my child" Ephyra begged Tethys went to her bed. "Almeta,my child,you know I love you and I want the best for you" Tethys squeezed her hands gently and she nodded "I want to back to the human world" she said Tethys smile "You can go back to your dreamworld" Her jaw dropped slightly "What about Father?" "He agreed as long as the Sea grants it" Tethys replied "Your happiness is in that world so we can't hold you back anymore. Go and be with the one you love and be happy forever" Tethys said Tears streamed down her cheeks as she embraced her mother. "Thank You Mother" Tears of joy. Familiar tinge of happiness welled up inside her at thought of meeting Harry Jones again. *** *** *** *** Wow! I can't believe this! We've come to the final episode of A Wish!

A WISH ?‍♀ EPILOGUE THEME: A NEW ADVENTURE ∆ Ephyra pressed the doorbell outside Harry's home. The door opened and a lady with a blond hair smiled at her. "Who are you?" The lady asked Ephyra stared at her Am I In the wrong place? She wondered She was confused Is he married now? Fear filled her when she saw the ring on the lady's finger. "Hey who do you wanna see?" The lady asked again Ephyra couldn't speak Tears set at the corners of her eyes. Harry was Married! "Mandy what's going -" He stopped behind Mandy. His gaze falling on Ephyra. She wore a free gown which covered her little bump that was starting to form slightly. No one could notice the bump because the gown was carefree and she wore a sweater on it too. "I think she needs help" Mandy murmured to him He reached a finger out to her and touched Ephyra. She couldn't move but he could touch her. He withdrew quickly and slammed the door at her face. Mandy was stunned by the swift movement. "Why did you -" He placye a finger on his lips to silence her. "Do you know her?" She asked "Well she looks like that lady in my dreams" "Oh that lady's picture on your phone!" She clapped He nodded Slowly,Ephyra moved away and strode towards the sea and broke down in tears. "He doesn't remember me" she cried "What do I do?" She ran her hand in her hair "I...I..shouldn't have erased his memory" she cried "Now Harry's married and I'm carrying his child. Its all my fault!" She blamed Harry sat in his study. He read the diary in his hand again and looked at the images on his laptop. The lady outside was the same in the images on his laptop and in his dreams too. "I fell in love..I never believed in love until I met Ephyra" he read from his own diary on his system. "She's mermaid and now she has to return to her world to save her people. I hope she comes back to me so we can be together forever" He read the last few lines again and everything suddenly made sense to him. She came back! The words straight in his head. He stood up and rushed out of the room. "Hey where are you off to?" Mandy stopped him "That lady..is my missing piece" He stormed out of the house His eyes searched the dark area. "Ephyra!" He screamed He ran towards the beach and he saw a figure in the dark. She heard her name again. Harry was calling her. She stood up and turned towards the direction she'd heard the voice. Harry was there. He stared intensely at her. Her Face was swollen and wet from tears. "Harry.." She called "Ephyra" He closed the distance between them and embraced her. "Ephyra, you came back" he said softly Then the tears set down again,she couldn't hold it back. "I waited for so..long" he said "I'm..so sorry" she sobbed in his chest "Why did you erase my memory?" "Please forgive me. I'm So sorry" she cried "You erased it but I had other things.. So many things that kept you alive in my mind. Your diary, mine and images of our outings on my laptop. You didn't take that away" She cried loudly "I missed you so much" He muttered "And I'm happy to see you again" he said with a bright smile. He pulled away to look in her eyes. "Let's go in" he said She withdrew her hands "You're married now..I can't go in" Harry chuckled "Well that Lady.." "I'm not married. Remember I said that I was going to wait" She avoided his gaze "Mandy is my cousin" "Harry!" A voice screamed They turned to see Mandy with her handbag. "Hey Harry! I'm sorry i have to leave! Jason got into a fight at school! We'll talk later!" She said loudly before rushing to her car in the driveway. And she drove away. "Jason is Mandy's child" He explained Can he see me properly? Ephyra wondered She was thinking about her baby bump. Maybe it not so obvious. Harry was so carried away,he didn't even noticed the swell. They moved to his house. Nothing has changed. "I thought you said that you were going to move to town" she said "Yes,but I didn't because this house holds memories of us" They stood staring at each other "Um..we need to talk" She said looking away from him "Yes we have a lot of catching ups to do" She nodded "Don't..I look different?" She asked "You're beautiful" He said Then she realized Harry would never tell because of her big dress. "Are you still going back there?" "No" "Are you.." "I'm a full human now" she said "How?.." He said in a surprised tone She drew in a deep breath "I became a human because.." She paused and swallowed hard "I'm pregnant" she said His mouth dropped completely "What?!" "Yes" He covered the inch between them "Oh well...remember we..had sex before.. I left" she stuttered He nodded impatiently "Since my first mating was with a human so my baby and I can't survive under water" "You're carrying my child?" "Yes" she nodded "Marry me! No Ephyra will you marry me?" He didn't want any explanation. He was only happy about the news of his child. His hands went to her belly and he felt her bump. He would definitely be a father in few months time. "Be my wife" he said His smile broader and he could almost burst of too Much happiness. "Harry.." "Yes marry me Ephyra! Or do you think when I asked you to return,I wanted you to be a boarder here? No I wanted us to be together forever" he rushed out his words. She leaned close to him and found his lips. Her arms wrapping around his neck. "You want a life with me don't you?" He said amidst kisses "Yes..yes..I'll marry you Harry!" "I love you so much" He said And they kissed for several moments until she pulled back and said "Any news about James?" "Yes I searched for him when I saw his name in your diary. And the last time I checked on him..I think he's married to his colleague at work" "Doctor May?" "I supposed so" And he kissed her lips again ♥ •••• ♥ The wedding took place on the first day of the following month. They had agreed that it was a good time as any to begin their new adventure. She wore a cream colored knee length dress designed by Ria. The dress framed a modest amount of cleavages and floated softly over her tummy,which was beginning to expand. Ephyra and Harry mingled happily with their guests. Though it hadn't been easy to keep the event small,considering Harry's famous status and extended family members and Friends. They'd managed to convince people that they would celebrate with a big party in few months time,after the baby is born. They exchanged their vows in the church Isobel had attended all her life,followed by a small reception at the beach house. Isobel had welcomed Ephyra with warm approval even though she doesn't have anyone to call her Family. They'd said that Ephyra was an orphan and she'd left home to survive on her own. She went far from her relatives after her parents death. "I knew you and Harry would make a great couple" Isobel said giving Ephyra an enthusiastic hug. He grinned at her. Isobel went ahead to greet their guests. "Looks like we're about to embark on a new great adventure" He said "Are you up to it boss?" She said "I think i can be up to it" he quipped a laugh in his eyes. "Really?" "Bring it on" She laughed Harry kissed her cheeks A New Adventure with a baby. She thought She reached up and kissed his mouth. A New love,A new Family,Happiness.. All In all. It'd be a very promising beginning.
