Chapter 8

• Ava's POV
• I placed Dyrus arm on my shoulder and strode to a car with a name Dyrus the king fashioned all over the car.
• "This should be Dyrus car.
• I saw a picture of him and some famous stripers with this car on instagram." I said to myself as I opened the car door and flunged Dyrus in the car.
• "Dyrus, wake up"I said as I sprinkled water I bought in the coffee shop on his face with my hands.
• He opened his eyes slowly
• "What happened？" Dyrus asked in a weak tone.
• "You fainted for the past four hours. What is wrong with you？ Thank Goddness I hid you in a box or else Sage and that monster would have captured us." I explained and Dyrus kept on placing his hand on his head as he winced.
• "Ava, drive me home please.I don't why I am not confortable in this environment. I keep on getting flashes like I once saved a mermaid and we kissed." Dyrus said as he stare into space.
• "That's bad, we need to quickly move away from this weird place." I said as I looked down in grief for taking away his memory but I did it for my people.
• I got in the car and ignited the car's engine.
• "Why are you driving like that？ That bicycle just ran past us"Dyrus complained as a bicycle passed by and he looks like he is getting better.
• "Hello！ I don't want to die now, slow and steady wins the race"I said as I drove calmly.
• "Come on, we are just three feets away from the coffee shop, do you live with snails？" he scoffed which made me angry.
• "I am trying my best. You can also drive and stop bossing around" I blurted out.
• "Lets swap places"Dyrus ordered.
• "What？ we can't just swap places in a moving car. I am driving, boy."
• "Do you refer to me as boy？ I am a man"He boasts and pulled me to the passenger seat and we swapped places.
• "Dyrus, drive calmly." I yelled as Dyrus almost jammed a red vehicle with full spead.
• "I can't hear you"He yelled as he turned on a rock music and my ear almost got blocked.
• I held the seatbelt trying to put it on for safety as the car continued speeding.
• "Dyrus, stop the car！"I yelled and a smile appeared on his face.
• "Boom！we are back to our weird home " He stopped the car and faced me.
• "Why were you trying to kiss me ？ Anytime I remember that its reminds me of the flashes about that mermaid." Dyrus said and had eye contacts with me.
• "Mermaids does not exist" I rasped trying to avoid eye contact with him.
• "Mermaids do exist. There was a time my father brings mermaids home for sacrifice and they are always beautiful. Just confess you love my hairstyle. Ladies are crazily in love with me."
• "Yes, you are right." I said and got out of the car.
• "What's with the flushed face？Don't worry crazy sister-in-law, Don is not mad at you" He said as he walked towards me and inserted is fingers in mine.
• "I am worried about my brother Lucas. "
• "I thought he was a lover" Dyrus chuckled.
• "What's going on here？" A voice echoed as I turned around and sighed Don who had throbbing veins in his neck.
• "I saved Ava from some bad guys today" Dyrus said.
• Don walked towards us with a grin on his face as he grabbed my hand fiercely and Dyrud let go of me.
• Don dragged me inside his room and locked the door behind him.
• "Where were you？ In a motel with my twin brother？" He pushed me at a wall and gnashed his teeth.
• "I went to a coffee shop , some guys attacked me and Dyrus saved me." I said trying to control my anger.
• "Really？ Why were you guys holding hands？" he yelled as he hits his fist against the wall which made it break
• "Imagine my fist landed on you, you would be bed ridden now."he rasped with his bare teeth.
• Don pushed me on the bed and tried to rip off my outfit then I slapped him across the face.
• "I was silent because I thought you are hurt not because I am weak like those ladies you used" I yelled as I pushed him with my legs and got up on my feet.
• "How dare you？You are my wife and I have the right to do whatever I want with you." He ordered.
• "Whatever" I balled my fist and tried to walk away.
• "Come back here"Don ordered as he grabbed my hair.
• "Stop that！"I winced as I held my head.
• "Shut your mouth."He pushed me on the bed.
• I brought out a small knife from my pocket and point it at his neck.
• "Move back or else I will cut off your throat"I yelled as I moved to the door and dashed out of his room.
• "Thank Goodness！"I heaved a sigh and sighted a small boy like Sam who kept staring at me.
• "You are Ava，right？ I am Henry, your nephew."He said.
• "Yeah, I am your Aunt."I said and noticed his eyes changing colours.
• "Why are your eyes changing colours？"I asked as I knelt down to maintain eye contact with him.
• "Hmm...every jinn has super powers." He said as he avoids eye contact with me.
• "What about Dyrus and Don？"I whispered as I waggled my eye brows.
• "Dyrus is super attrative and irressible while Don is super agressive" he explained.
• "Ooh, that explains a lot"I giggled and he raised his eyebrows.
• "Hug me please" he said with a smirk on his face.
• "Alright"I stretched my hands to hug him.
• "Ava！"Dyrus called out as he walked towards me which interrupted I and Henrys conversation and Henry disappeared.
• "What is it？You don't have to yell my name "I said.
• "I had to since you are ignorant and sturbbon. We need to talk"He gestured and strode to his room and I followed.
• "What did Don say？How did he react？He looked really angry a while ago" He said as he paced around the room
• "It was horrible, he tried to force himself on me." I said as I shut the door behind me.
• "I will teach that rascal a lesson. "He rapsed as he balled his fist.
• "Acting like you care won't solve any problem. He is my husband and I want a peaceful family."
• "I am not acting ,I really care because you are a cunning fox and I need to find out about your plan."
• "Plan？I dont have one, I am just a regular girl"
• "Regular girl？ Why did you come back here after Don humilated you？ Why did you kiss me？ Are you trying to create a rift in my family？"He said pacing back and forth with his hand stroking his chin.
• I can't tell Dyrus about myself. He is a jinn, jinn and mermaids are sane enemies. I sat on his bed and crossed my legs.
• "My intentions are as pure as a portrait, I mean no harm to your family. After everything is better I promise to leave your family and....." I pursed my lips as I noticed Dyrus giving me a confusing look.
• "I don't understand a thing you just said, I know you are planning something cunning." He maintains eye contact with me.
• "Time will tell it, time will！"
• A noise emerged from my pocket and I slid it out, it is a call from Lucas.
• "Excuse me"I said excitedly and dashed out of his room.
• "Hello" I answered the call.
• "Ava, why did you leave me alone？ I heard you got married to a rich guy and I mean nothing to you." He sobs.
• I got shocked, how did this information leak to Lucas？
• My heart raced as my hands begin to shake as I held the phone with both hands.
• "Wh.. who told y..you this？"I stammered.
• "Jane told me everything. She also said you are happy with your new family and I am useless to you. Congratulations sister, I also don't want you with me." he sobs and ends the call.
• I shivered as I held the wall and the phone landed on the floor.
• "Let me guess, your lover broke up with you" he scoffed.
• "What's with the flushed face？ you are a married woman and you do not need him."he continued.
• "I need my brother, he is my only family. I have to go home" I sobed and ran out of the house.
• "Ava, wait"Dyrus voice echoed behind me as I ran to a car and drove to my apartment.
• I strode to my apartment and the doors were opened.
• "Hello, Lucas！ Sam！Jane！" My voice echoed as I searched my apartment.
• "Where are they？"I whispered to myself and met a note on Lucas's bed.
• "Hi Ava, I and the mermaids decided go to the ocean when we found out about your marriage to a jinn. We don't need a leader who will lead us to our death. Don't think of searching for us, enjoy in your in laws home. By Jane" I read out as tears rolled down my chin.
