A Baby For Billionaire Knox

THEME: Off to the human world

SEVEN DAYS LATER

Adella was weak, she had refused to eat and the concoction the sea wizard gave her has affected her greatly. Her entire world was upside down as she couldn’t cast a spell to free herself. 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 Adella began to sing the song she sang on her birth celebration day 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. Adella felt the emptiness and her eyes opened only for her eyes to widen when she saw that her body was different. It was more transparent!

Adella couldn’t make out what was happening to her and she wanted to scream for help but her mouth was sealed.

Minutes clicked by and then Oceanus, Alana, Morrissey, Colbert and Azizi came into her room to see her. But their jaws dropped when they saw her new appearance. She was extremely translucent.

Queen Alana rushed towards her, tried to reach for her daughter’s hands but she couldn’t feel Adella.

“Adella, can you hear me?” Queen Alana asked with a wide eye.

Adella nodded. Colbert went to her and unbind the tools. “What did you do to yourself?!” Oceanus questioned in a high tone.

Adella opened her mouth to speak but her voice failed her, she was confused.

“Get Abijam!” Oceanus ordered and Colbert rushed out of the room.

“How did you become like this?” Queen Alana questioned.

“You can hear us right?” Azizi asked.

Adella nodded again and they were stunned at her appearance.

“Don’t leave me Adella. I am 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.” Queen Alana pleaded.

“Mother relax.. Adella -” Morrissey was interrupted.

“Please stay with me.” Queen Alana sobbed.

“What is happening to me?” Adella asked but since they couldn’t hear her so she got no response.

Adella tried to touch her mother’s cheeks to wipe her tears but she couldn’t feel anything. She was transparent! The sea wizard jaw dropped completely when his gaze fell on her and he was stunned! All his years as a sea wizard he has never seen a translucent mermaid. It was as if Adella was a spirit mermaid.

“Abijam do something!” Oceanus ordered.

Abijam tried several spells to revive Adella but nothing worked and he realized the princess was leaving the merworld.

“What is going on?” Oceanus asked.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Lord Oceanus, I am as confused as you are now.” Abijam mumbled with confusion on his expression

“Confused?” Queen Alana cried.

“Yes it seems the sea has finally granted the princess wish.” The sea wizard said.

Queen Alana cried out. Now Adella couldn’t make out what the sea wizard was saying to her family.

“But.. you gave her concoction.” Azizi said, their words fading in Adella’s ears.

“Yes prince Azizi, but tthe concoction was to weaken her so she could stay a bit longer and that was why she lasted seven days.” He explained how the concoction worked.

“What?! So are you saying Adella is going to the human world?! But you made it clear that the concoction would reverse the wish!” Morrissey snarled.

“Forgive me my prince.” Abijam bowed.

“No.. no.. no..” Queen Alana said unsteadily when she noticed Adella’s disappearance from her tail.

“Please don’t leave me, Adella.” She begged tearfully.

But Queen Alana couldn’t stop her, they watched as Adella disappeared to the unknown world leaving just her sea-bud crown behind on her bed.

“No!” Queen Alana screamed while Morrissey held her tightly. “My child!” She cried. They were heartbroken!

“Abijam bring my Almeta back.” Queen Alana went to the sea wizard and held on to him.

“She is a little child, Adella can’t survive in that world.. that wicked human world.” Oceanus said.

“Please bring my child back, Adella.” Queen Alana pleaded tearfully.

“I am sorry queen Alana. There is 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.” Abijam said sincerely.

On hearing the sea wizard words, queen Alana fainted. “Mother! Wake up!” Aziz was quick to catch her and she was rushed to her chambers.

Adella was gone, this is how the special mermaid left the merworld to experience human life.
