A Baby For Billionaire Knox

THEME: The Call

SATURDAY MORNING

Eretia woke up to someone stroking her cheeks. She opened her eyes and saw a little boy staring at her. Eretia stood up quickly, observing her surrounding. She was in a garden with nice roses and beautiful flowers.

“Who are you?” Eretia asked the little boy.

“I am a human.” He answered.

Eretia looked down at him. He had the perfect features of a human. “Yes I know… you look like one.” She answered.

“But you aren’t a human.” The boy said In a harsh tone.

Then Eretia glanced down at her body. She still had her long legs and complete human body. “I am a human.” Eretia replied.

“No you belong there!” The little snarled as he pointed towards a section. Ereti looked beyond and saw mermaids in a lake. “You belong to that world!” The little boy laughed wickedly.

“You can never be like us!” He snarled again.

Eretia screamed in fear when she saw many humans chanting the same words and their voices echoed in her head. “Go back to your world! And give the sea its belonging!” They chanted at a call.

“No!” Eretia screamed.

The loud beeping sound of the alarm jolted her up from the nightmare. Her forehead was sweaty. She felt weak and lay still on the bed. Thinking over the dream she just had.. Eretia doesn’t belong to this world. It echoed in her head.

“Go back to your world!” It echoed in her mind.

“Neifion, do I really have to go back there?”A tear dropped down her cheek. “I want to be with him.” she muttered.

A knock sounded on the bedroom door. Eretia wiped her face and hopped out of bed.

“Good morning, my lady.” Knox greeted. Her gaze fell on the tray in his hands. “Coffee.” He raised a mug.

“Oh thank you.. come in.” She said.

Knox Martins gave her a coffee mug and placed the tray on her dressing table. “How was your night?” He asked.

“Fine.. thank you.” Eretia sipped the coffee.

“I want to go out for a walk around the area, would you like to come with me?” Knox requested.

“Yes I would love to do that.” Eretia nodded.

“Okay.. I’ll be waiting in the sitting room.” Knox smiled at her.

Eretia would have to leave this man some day. The thought of it almost brought her to tears again.

Knox kissed her cheeks before he moved out of the room. The mere thought of being away from him made a sad.

“Are you sure you can do this job for me?” She asked.

The man she was referring to smoked on his cigarette. “Who told you about me?” He asked.

“A lady at den club.” She answered.

“My name is Vins Bond.” The man said with a wicked smile.

“Yes I know.” She answered.

“So who am I to deal with for you?” He asked.

And she passed him a photograph. “Damn.. she is pretty.” He complimented.

“I want you to do a clean job and don’t get caught.” She warned him.

“Can any man capture the wind?” He chuckled deviously.

“No.. just be careful.” she warned sternly.

“Trust me. This is done.” He grinned.

She handed him a brown envelope. “This is your part payment. I’ll pay the rest when the job is done.. a clean job.” She emphasized.

“You can count on me.” The well built man opened the car door and stepped out of the car.

IN THE UNDERWORLD

THRONE HALL

“Can we make the connection now?” Oceanus asked the sea wizard.

“It has been four weeks since we made the last connection with the princess.” Alana said.

“We should do it again.” Oceanus said.

Queen Alana nodded in agreement. “Let us make her have the desire to return to the sea.” She added.

“I agree with you my queen.” Oceanus agreed.

“My Lord, I am sure the princess is aware that the Neifion bracelet belong to the sea.” The sea wizard said.

“Can Adella resist the connection?” Queen Alana asked.

“Yes my queen but only if she is by the sea feeding it with spell songs.” The sea wizard responded.

“Her connection with the sea through spell songs can make her resist the connection?” Queen Alana asked to be sure.

“Yes my queen.” Abijam replied.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“I don’t think Adella knows that fact. She might be far away from the Sea so she wouldn’t get attracted by it and be tempted to return home.” Oceanus sounded so sure of his words.

“Let us make the connection. I want my child back before the next call by the sea.” Queen Alana asserted as she gestured to the sea wizard to do his work.
