Chapter 9:Captived

AT THE BEACH

After a long stressful day at work, Bruno decided to come greet his love - Bianca, at the Oceans…

The warm breeze from the felt colder than ever, his feets touched the ground giving him an extremely warm sensation. He surveyed the entire area patiently waiting for Bianca to swim up into the ocean.

But this time, Felicia was already in an unending discussion with Bianca.

In a short while, the three mermaid sisters showed up from afar off…

“Perfect, look Tito, look at him over here.” Nino said, pointing towards him.

“Wow! , he's just in time.” Nino responded, smiling like she had won a medal.

Isa asked curiously with her brows raised facing both of them.

“ What are you two going to do to him?”

“Sis …. There's nothing to worry about, okay, trust me. Nino and I will handle this.”

Nino said, casting another tentative look at Bruno.

“ Girls… please, inasmuch as I love him dearly, I also do not want us to harm him please…”

“You know he's human, he's got no tails like us.” Isa reminded us both…

“You worry too much, Isa. Nino just told you we would handle it.”

“We are doing this for our interests. One thing is certain, he's safe with us. I mean who would want to harm that very person you love.”

Tito explained further, trying to make Isa calm down and reason with both of them.

Nino quickly instructed her sisters.

“For this enchantment to work, we will have to place our hands together on one accord in order to draw his attention to us.”

Isa responded

“Alright Sister.” She quickly stretches out her hand.

“But Sisters… don't you think we're looking desperate?”

Tito suggested, giving a very broad, innocent look.

“Tito, don't be ridiculous, okay, learn to stand and support your sisters at all times, no matter what happens.”

Nino responded back to Tito.

Isa was taken aback by what Tito had just said; wearing a very conspicuous look on her face.

Three sisters stretched each of their hands outright with their eyes shut as they began meditating on the powers of the seas.

A strong force formed a spiral glow with the three primary colors as it immediately sent an irresistible signal to Bruno.

He was unconscious, completely clueless of the whole thing, his body, for the first time, felt lighter than before, his eyes shut like he was going to pass out. Everything about him seems to be out of his control and all of a sudden he's lying before the three mermaid sisters inside the Oceans.

Oops!!!..... What did they do to him?

Oh my goodness!!

Let's find out….

Great excitement flooded their faces as they now had their long-time crush in their hands.

Nino said, smiling as she stared at Bruno lying handsomely on the ground.

“At least from now on, he will be able to swine and dine with our kind.”

“You can say that again Sis…. I'm so happy…” Isa added…

“You know what girls…, he's still unconscious, so the very moment he wakes up, his mind and total being will be completely fixed on us.”

Tito informed…

“Of course, I mean, look, he now has tails like us, this is so exciting to behold.” Nino responded, casting another tentative look at him again.

“Thanks to the Powers and Spirits of the Oceans, who gave us the ability to transform him into a merman,” Nino revealed with her hands raised, expressing her level of gratitude.

“Exactly Sisters…. We are forever grateful. Honestly, I never knew it was going to work.” Isa confessed, wearing some sort of astonished face.

It was at this time that Bianca swam to the top of the ocean to find her love, Bruno, and getting there she fixed her gaze on the entire space, surveying it for any trace of Bruno, but not even his shadow was seen.

She was quiet for a moment, then decided to call him through the Magic Mirror….

AT THE HOSPITAL…

Kim was just recovering, her eyes were beginning to get their shape, whilst her body was slowly reviving back. Indeed, she was greatly responding to treatment.

She woke up after a brief nap only to be greeted by a very mischievous, extremely threatening mail.

The message from the mail was just enough to strangle a baby, the lines and words that followed were indeed eye-bulgy and extremely frightening.

The email reads….

“What a world!

Honestly Kim, I don't know how to say this to you, but I must say it anyway because I like your person and I can't just sit back and watch the very man you will be getting married with, slap you with his actions vehemently on your pretty innocent cheek.”

“Now listen. The next message I will be sending will be the receipts for this one. Alright …. Let's get straight to the point. The thing is, your soon-to-be husband is cheating on you with me and I must confess I really like every bit of him. He's sweet and extremely skillful in bed. Just so you know, I love the fact that you weren't available to get into the way, thereby making each and every time we spent worth a dozen golds.”

Kim felt a lump form in her throat, she vehemently tried swallowing saliva, but she was unable, a cold sensation ferociously crept over her entire body as extreme shock.

The email is still a paragraph long, she quickly reached out for a glass of water resting close to her head before she continued reading further.

The email reads….

“Now, here is the thing, you will have to withdraw every damn single thing you think you share with Bruno because it is about to get messy.”

“You want to know why, alright… I'm pregnant. Yes… I'm carrying his child in my womb and should Incase you're still doubting the next email will be containing the clips and receipts that supports my claims….”

“Stay tuned because it's not yet over….”

Kim's throat turned into a desert as this one hit differently, her heartbeat was beating profusely as an intense bag of shock emptied on her head, she was fidgeting, still holding her phone with her eyes wide open and mouth ajar, still processing the whole thing…

“What! So, Bruno is cheating on me with another woman.”

She yelled, as intense rage flooded her face.
