” Caly…pso,” Don Carlos stammered, his Palms sweating Profusely.

” Its Queen Calypso” Calypso snapped, her grip fierce on his neck.

More guards came , but as they approached her , They magically transformed into water.

” You betrayed me Carlos, 30 years ago we were in love with each other, You even married me , you didn’t care about my Identity, You loved me for who I was , A mermaid. Everything changed when Emilia stepped into the picture, You were drawn to her beauty, You left me your pregnant wife for that Bitch . It hurt me to the core cos of you I turned heartless and merciless, ” Calypso Snarled , eyes blazing with fury.

” You…were …. pregnant, I didn’t know.Am sorry ,” Carlos sincerely said.

“If sorry could fix everything, Many criminals would be roaming free ” She Scoffed, her grip lessening from his neck.

“Did you really think Emilia died cos of blood cancer?” She added smirking.

Carlos sockets popped out, eyes widening.

” You..Killed her ,”  he gulped ” but the doctors…”.

” Oh! please , The Doctors were under my hypnosis, that night, your son Ivan’s birthday I added poison ivy to Emilia’s food ,” Calypso cut him off.

A glass jar filled with water with the two little fishes appeared on her Palm.

” Say hi to my brother in law and my sister , Ariel,” Calypso Smiled ghastly ” do you want to join them ? ” She tilted her head forward.

Carlos turned to run but an Invisible force held him tight , slowly he felt his insides shrinking, next Moment he is a little fish inside the Jar .

” Aw… My pets ,” Calypso giggled sickly.

Calypso touched the tip of her necklace, her body Sparkled red and Instantly she transformed into Carlos.

She looked Exactly like him.

” let the game begin,” She laughed like a witch.

Kate is moving to and fro in the living room, she has seen the news, she knows Lazarus went with Ivan.

Tears flowed from her eyes , She won’t be able to live without him , the more she tried to think positively, fear crawled up to her skin.

” I love you Lazarus, please be fine, I can’t live without you ,” She Muttered to herself.

Her phone rang interrupting her from her thoughts, At first she didn’t want to answer but when she saw the Caller ID, she flinched then she accepted the Call immediately.

” Hello,” Calypso spoke in Carlos voice.

” Who the heck is this? Return the phone to my mother, ” Kate snapped furiously .

she obviously heard the Voice chuckle.

” Dumbo , Its me your mother, Come to Italy ASAP ” Calypso ordered.

” But Laz…” Kate wanted to say but Calypso already cut the call.

Kate bit her lips so hard that it bled.

A WEEK LATER *

[ K mansion ]

Theo pulled into the K mansion driveway, the gravel crunching under his tires. He killed the engine and stepped out, his eyes scanning the surroundings. Hyce followed, adjusting his jacket with a casual air that hid the concern etched on his face.

A week had passed since Ivan, Terra, Juni, Greta, and Lazarus vanished. The college was taking heat from the public, and the police were stumped. Theo and Hyce walked into the mansion, their calm demeanor belying the anxiety that gnawed at them.

Mandy descended the stairs, joining them in the opulent sitting room. “Hey bro, any updates?” she asked, clutching Theo’s arm and sneaking a wink at Hyce.

Theo ignored her question, his frustration simmering. “Where’s Dad? I need him, the police aren’t doing anything, and the board members are shirking responsibility. It’s like no one cares. Dad’s the only one who can find them.”

Mandy’s expression turned thoughtful, then she shook her head.

“You’re lost,” Hyce snapped, his fingers snapping to bring her back to reality.

“Yeah, Dad and Mom are on their 10th honeymoon, and they wouldn’t like to be disturbed. Typical parents,” Mandy said with a nervous smile.

Theo cursed, sliding his hands into his pockets and pulling out his phone. “F!k disturbance.”

Theo’s fingers flew across the screen as he dialed a number, his frustration boiling over. The phone rang, and he willed someone to answer. Mandy hovered nearby, her eyes darting between Theo and Hyce, who stood with his arms crossed, watching the exchange.

The phone clicked, and a smooth, deep voice filled the room. “Theo, what’s going on?”

Theo’s words tumbled out. “Dad, it’s Ivan, Terra, the others – they’re missing. The police aren’t doing anything. We need your help.”

A pause, then the call was disconnected.

Hyce released the breath which he had been holding a long time, The Voice alone sent shivers to his spine, So….. F+kin intimidating.

Theo Cursed then he went outside leaving just Hyce and Mandy.

“Hyce I missed you so much ,” Mandy grinned as she wrapped her legs around his torso.

he held her gently on her arse trying to balance her.

“Kiss me,” She ordered S+×ily , she bit his earlobes.

” F+k ….. Mama,” he Cussed kissing her deeply and tendering.

Their tongues twirled in symphony.

They hungrily devoured each other.

They didn’t Even notice Theo’s presence or when he got back.

They were too lost madly in each other arms.

“What the ef is going on here ?” Theo barked and they broke the kiss , their lips made a Pop sound as they parted.

” Its not what you think ,” Hyce defended quickly.

” Am not actually thinking,” Theo glared.

[Cemetery]

Bernie’s eyes are welled up with tears as he stood beside Honey’s grave. The sun beat down on the freshly dug earth, The smell of damp soil and Flowers Clinged to the air.

Their Grandma is wailing the loss of Honey , Bernie can’t even console her , After all everything that happened was all his fault.

Only if he had been such a caring brother.

Only if he hadn’t signed those files given to him by her .

Honey would still be alive today.

Her last words still ring as an alarm to his ear.

Terra was never his.

Its high time he stops the facade he calls love when its all Lust , its high time he amends his mistakes and broken relationship.

His phone buzzed with a message interrupting him from his thought.

CONDOLENCES ON YOUR SISTER’S DEATH ,BUT THAT WON’T STOP ME FROM KILLING YOU.

Tears brimmed his eyes immediately, Instead of texting her back like he usually does , he dialed her line.

Shockingly she answered the call.

he didn’t hear her voice , she didn’t speak , but he heard something.

A baby’s cry.

His Child.

[St Peter’s Catholic Church]

Jerome slipped into the quiet church, the scent of old wood and incense enveloping him like a warm hug. He dipped his fingers in the holy water, making the sign of the cross as he genuflected before sliding into a pew.

He bowed his head, his eyes closing as he began to pray. “Dear God, please keep Ivan safe. Guide him, protect him, and bring him back to us.”

As he prayed, Jerome’s thoughts wandered to Ivan’s infectious smile, His smirks .

Jerome’s words became more fervent. “Please, God, don’t take him from us. He’s got so much life to live, so much to give. Bring him back, and I’ll do anything, anything at all.”

A sense of peace settled over him, and Jerome knew he’d done what he could. He made the sign of the cross, stood, and lit a candle for Ivan’s safe return. As he left the church, he felt a glimmer of hope – maybe, just maybe, Ivan would come back to them.

As he made his way to his car , he was blocked by Pepper.

” Are you still angry at me ?” Pepper asked .

” Out of my way Pepper,” Jerome ordered voice Indifferent.

” Just Forgive me , I promise to give you good BJ if you forgive me ,” Pepper Winked seductively.

” Jesus Christ! have never seen such a bitch like you in my life , At least Honey was better than you , May her soul rest in perfect peace ,” Jerome shouted , he pushed her and walked towards his car and he drove away.

” He’s just shy ,” Pepper Smiled.

CHICAGO*

[The Marcello’s Warehouse]

The Marcello’s Warehouse was a fortress of wealth , Emblazoned with the family crest . Inside rows of trailers sat parked, Their Cargo hold filled to the brim with crates of Terra’s tears, Now transformed into Lustrous Pearls.

Terra wouldn’t even cry , even though she is been tortured she won’t give her enemies the satisfaction, but this time she has to cry if not Juni and Greta will be barbecued . She can’t even connect to her powers anymore.

In the Past one week , Jimmy has made top dollars , He is currently the richest in Chicago, Influential people pay Millions of dollars just for the pearls.

The pearls worked miracles , it healed the sick , This made people want more.

Jimmy and Lucia watched as the gangsters moved the crates into Trailers.

” Your sister ? Where is she ?” Lucia asked.

“I locked her in her room ,She keeps on pestering me about Ivan , Why did you kill  him?” Jimmy said with an eye roll.

“This is the biggest deal we have ever gotten, A Shipment full of crates of pearls to Italy from a Company called Golden Company, ” Lucia Smiled.

” Golden Company? Who runs it ?” Jimmy raised an eyebrow.

” Are you f+kin kidding me ? Golden Company is International, Who doesn’t know it ? It is runnned by Antonio Orlando , Old age has done nothing to this man , He’s hot .” Lucia fanned herself, just by thinking of him she got wet , it crawled down to her legs.

” Fuckin cunt .” Jimmy  cussed rolling his eyes ” Why don’t I go and meet my Future wife.” Jimmy smiled treacherously and left.

Lucia looked around, any sight of a gangster who would satisfy her needs.

ITALY*

A Expected by the word Golden Mansion, the whole Mansion and Everything in it is Golden, Even the Maids are adorned with gold Jewelries matched with gold attires.

A SUV car drove into the driveway, The maids formed a queue their heads bowed.

His guards hurriedly went to open the Passengers door .

Antonio Orlando Stepped Out.

He’s a distinguished-looking guy in his late 50s, with a strong jawline and piercing brown eyes that seem to see right through you. His salt-and-pepper hair is styled neatly, with a hint of waves that add to his charm. A well-grafted beard frames his face, giving him a wise, experienced air.

He’s tall, around 6’2″, with broad shoulders that speak of a life of physical activity. His smile is warm and genuine, revealing perfectly aligned teeth, and his laugh lines suggest he’s enjoyed life’s pleasures.

He’s dressed impeccably in a tailored navy gold suit, with a crisp gold shirt and a patterned tie that adds a pop of color. A gold watch adorns his wrist, and a pair of classic gold leather shoes completes his look.

He strolled into the Mansion, then he ascended the stairs , he didn’t stop Walking till he got to a room .

He pushed the door open and he stepped in , the scent of Methylated spirits filled the air.

The sound of beeping machines monitoring the steady heart beats of the two Comatose patient could be heard.

The Doctor bowed when he saw Antonio.

” Good news , they are out of danger , they should be out of Coma any moments from now, Anyone in their place would be dead , they were lucky enough to have jumped from the Car before the explosion but still they fell into the Cliff , Its a Miracle, ” The Doctor said.

Antonio tilted his head forward.

Lazarus fingers moved then his hands.

Ivan eyes snapped open.
