Chapter 1:I Hope You Forgive Me

The beautiful sea was calm ,and on the surface ,the humans could be seen playing on the beach , children giggling as they played with the sand..

It was fun on the surface,but underneath the sea, fishes of different breeds were swimming Fishes like sharks looking for there prey.the area was calm when suddenly the surrounding sea horse scattered noticing movements...

"Woah..!come on Talia this is fun"A cheerful voice a mermaid could be heard..

" Melissa wait up"Talia chuckled swimming after Melissa both girls giggled slapping there tails together before diving deeper into the ocean back to there coast...

" Talia am so hungry,is there seaweeds please"Melissa soft voice cooed as Talia gave her a side glance.

" You and food,shoo away even if you eat the entire seaweed in the ocean,you won't every get fat"Talia said with annoyance.

" Well..but I like my statue like this,it's just perfect "Melissa grinned making Talia scoffed,both girls continue gisting entering the coast.

" So can I come "Melissa asked....

" Sure why not"

" Thanks Talia your the best"Melissa gave her a side hug before swimming towards her own little sea shell,and Talia who was still smiling suddenly had a grim look on her face as her lips pressed into thin lines,her eyes looking towards the direction of Melissa's house with complications...

" Mel...I hope you forgive me "Talia said silently before swimming away.

The dark stone in the corners make the passage way look creepy since there was no light...

"Am here,I have what you want"Talia said when she swam towards the passage way staring warily at the place before two mermaids swam out to meet her....

" Oh dear Talia ,you sure know how to do your work,does Melissa know you betrayed her..hmmm?"

Sofia a mermaid with black hair taunted Talia who gritted her teeth...

"She doesn't belong here in the first place"...

" Yeah,sure outcasts Like her aren't welcome or they are going to steal your loved ones with there innocent facade"

Gaya another mermaid with green hair scoffed...

Talia only frowned before passing an object wrapped up in a leaf to Gaya who collected it..

" No one must hear of this or else ..."Talia said slowly making the girls scoff in displeasure.

" Relax we know how to do our job,unlike you who could backstab her friend,oh!sorry ... childhood friend?Sofia said with sarcasm as she continued.

" Stabbing your childhood friend because of jealousy,but no worries no soul will learn of this unless you let your mouth loose though"...

Sofia taunted further....

Talia mumbled a curse before swimming away to avoid suspicious,the two girls looked at each other and giggled evilly.

" Poor Melissa unknownly had to fall under Talia's scheme because of jealousy"Sofia said as the girls moved further along the passageway.

" Who told her to unconsciously captured the prince's heart,now she has to face Talia's wrath"..

" Anyways what's has it got to do with us,the girl is getting on my nerves anyways and it's time she was put in hed place,an orphan and outcast like her doesn't deserve to live among us here, she's nothing but a filthy pollution "

Gaya said with undisguised hate .Sofia gave no comments and swam deeper down the passageway and Melissa didn't know what was about to hit her...

....

After meeting with the director who had signed the contract with the company,Jared decided to spend his weekend in the hotel,he had gave a contact to his friend Chris telling him of his arrival to his hotel.

After getting ready,Chris who was buttoning up the hand if his sleeve turned to the side to see his phone screen after hearing the sound of notifications.

"Ting"

He checked the phone and saw a message from Jared.

"I will be there in thrift minutes .be ready".

Chris looked at his phone with annoyance really wishing to punch his arrogant face.

He sighed before grabbing his coat,and phone going downstairs.

"Mr Chris would you like to have breakfast now or should I package it for you "

" Sure Nanny G "Chris said smiling at the older woman who nodded before walking to the kitchen.

Chris sighed softly wearing his coat,and sitting on the dining seat.

"Don't be late "

Chris scoffed reading the message from Jared before he stood up mumbling under his breath he ordered the Nanny to deliver his food to work through his PA,as he left for the hotel..

" Damn you Jared!!!..

Chris cursed silently clenching his teeth.

BACK IN THE SEA....

Melissa had justed finished eating some seaweeds and was preparing to go visit Talia.

Melissa swam a bit from her little seashell bed when she saw Talia swimming towards her..

"Talia "Melissa called out cheerfully to Talia who gave a forced smile..

" Come on let's go"

Talia said in response and both girls swam towards the direction of the main coast..

" Uhmm...Talia didn't you said we were going to your house?what are we doing in the main coast?...

Melissa asked warily with confusion.

"...I..ehmm wanted to get something from someone,could you please accompany me "....

Talia lied, Melissa gave one look of weariness to the coast walls before nodding and they sawn deeper...

Talia gave a side glance at Melissa grinning at her stupidity before looking ahead,she didn't realize Melissa giving her suspicious glances too..

" She didn't do anything to offend Talia,then why was she giving her those

" weird look".

Melissa just shook her head," maybe I was thinking too much,Talia won't hurt me "...

They passed through the coast and Melissa saw the people strange look of accusations,fear and disgust making her more confused and when she turned to tell Talia her observation she freezed...

Four merman guards were encircling her out no where and Talia was no where to be found,and Melissa was telling herself that Talia didn't just frame her up but the guards next word broke those thoughts..

"Melissa you're under arrest by the law of the oceans for colliding with the humans and swimming to the surface and also bringing a dangerous substance to harm the sea and it environment".

" What??

Melissa yelled in shock staring wide eyed at the guards who rough handled her taking her prisoner to the prison and the other merfolks jeared pointing figures making Melissa bow her head in shame...

...behind the sea of crowds that block Melissa captured sight,Talia , Sophia and Gaya could be seen..

" Good work guys ,I will settle you with your payment later"Talia said with a sly smile.

" You better,else you won't like the consequences "Sofia hissed before she and Gaya left Talia alone to watch the scene of her backstabbing her friend.

" Am sorry Melissa but no one can take prince Derek's heart expect for me,any other mermaids would have to be eliminated"....

The reason why Talia was so hell-bent on making Melissa image tarnished was that,prince Derek's was on a trip and God knows when he would be back.

With this thought in mind,Talia smirked before swimming away from the place back to her home.
