Few hours later, when the auction has finally finished earning Raphael of more than a hundred million pounds sterling and Angeline of more than twenty million pounds sterling. Angeline told Raphael how big and how many houses they can buy, since they don't need to buy clothes, although they told Marius that they will buy clothes, they will just buy some clothes, just so that Marius won't get suspicious. After leaving the auction, and taking the cheques, since Raphael got 9 cheques and 1 for Angeline, and it is still day time and got time to go to the bank, Angeline then realised that Raphael needs an ID and a proof of address to have a bank account.
Angeline: Oh, I forgot to tell you that you need an ID and proof of address to have a bank account.
Raphael: What are those?
Angeline: ID means an identity. It can be a passport that you use to travel to different countries, or a driving license that you get to allow you to drive, or any other ID that shows your identity using a form of document or card. Proof of address is just a letter, a valid letter with your name and address on it.
Raphael: Oh, I can't have them find out who I am and where I actually live. I am not going to get a bank account.
Angeline: But how are we going to store your money?
Raphael: Let's use yours.
Angeline: But they are your money. They just need an ID with your picture, just the face, with your name, and birthday on it.
Raphael: Oh, how about this?
Angeline: That looks like a passport from here. You are from this country then. Maybe the sea, where you live is within the property of this country. Good thing you have that.
Raphael: Oh, my dad gave me this telling me I might need it here.
Angeline: Wow, it seems your dad knows a lot about our world too.
Raphael: Actually, every royalty has to learn the ways of living of humans.
Angeline: You mean you're a royalty then?
Raphael: Yes.
Angeline: Wow. I can't believe it. It is like in fairy tales. You are a merman prince.
Raphael: Yes. Are we going to the bank?
Angeline: Yes, there is the bank.
After going to the bank, and finally having a bank account and depositing the cheques, Raphael and Angeline decided to go home, and surf the internet for houses. After finally finding a house to buy, they contacted the seller and bought the house, and they started contacting drivers to help them move their stuffs the next day as it is already almost evening. They found a 7 bedroom house, with swimming pool, garden, gym, sauna, etc. As soon as they finally moved, they also paid the agent of their previous place for the cancelling of contract. They also contacted Marius telling him that they moved and he can just give back the key to the agent and just call her when he finishes his work so they can meet up to show him their new house and give him a copy of the key to the house. Angeline was enjoying herself around the house as she never had a house with pool before, gym, and jacuzzi as well. She enjoyed it with Raphael as they both turn to merpeople to swim around the big pool inside the house. Suddenly, they both got hungry and it is time for dinner, and Marius will soon finish his work. Angeline just ordered for delivery because she got tired from swimming, and unable to cook that time. Soon after, Marius called Angeline.
Marius: Angeline, I am out now. I just finished my work for now. Can you meet me to show me where is our new house?
Angeline: Oh right. Sure. I will meet you at the station.
Marius: Okay, see you.
Call ended and Angeline told Raphael that she has to meet Raphael at the station to show him where the house is. On her way to the station, she then bumped into Gabriel; someone she knew months ago studying music together.
Gabriel: Hey, Angeline.
Angeline: Hi Gabriel.
Gabriel: Are you working?
Angeline: Uhmmm yes, but it is my day off today. I got work tomorrow.
Gabriel: Where?
Angeline: Somewhere close here, but I am meeting my best friend right now.
Gabriel: Ah, did you move out? You came from a different way.
Angeline: Ah yes. I just moved this morning.
Gabriel: Wow, where?
Angeline: Just several stops away from here.
Gabriel: Oh, is it a room, or a flat?
Angeline: It is a house. You'll find out soon if you want to visit someday.
Gabriel: Sure. I will come to the Christmas Party of the music group.
Angeline: Oh, nice. I will see you then.
Gabriel: Okay. I will see you. I have to go.
Angeline: Okay, my best friend is almost here. Take care.
Gabriel: Thanks, you too.
Angeline: Thank you too.
Marius then came and approached Angeline.
Marius: Were you here long?
Angeline: Not really. Here is the key. Let's go home.
Marius: Okay. Lead the way.
Marius and Angeline then went on their way home to their new house. Angeline realised that she lost one of the copies of her key to the house because she was given 5 copies plus 2 originals when they bought the house. Angeline wondered where it could have fallen but to no avail. Angeline thought if she can use magic to find the key without ever being found out she is using magic. Using light magic of visual, seeing what happened in the past by touching something related, she saw that the key fell on the bag that Gabriel was holding. She then felt relief as she knows Gabriel and went back home with Marius. Finally, at home, Angeline showed Marius where his room is.
Angeline: Okay, this is your room. Your stuffs are already there, but we didn't organise it yet because we don't know how you want it to be organised. It is up to you.
Marius: It is okay, thanks. This is enough. Where is Raphael?
Angeline: He is probably in his room, or the gym, or maybe the pool. Have you eaten yet? I bought food delivery, I was tired to cook, so if you want to it, I left the food at the big fridge downstairs at the kitchen.
Marius: Yes, I am hungry but.. I want to eat something else..
Marius pulled Angeline towards him and closing the door behind Angeline and locked it.
Angeline: What do you mean by something else? and what are you doing?
Marius: Angeline, I can't help it anymore.
Marius then kissed Angeline and started reaching for her breasts but Angeline stopped him by grabbing his hands. Marius backed up.
Marius: Why? We already did it before.
Angeline: That was a mistake.
Marius: Is it because of Raphael?
Angeline: No. We're just best friends, Marius. We are not even married. I know how you like sex and did it with many girls when you were travelling as a photographer but I am not one of your girls. I am your best friend, and I allowed you to share a studio flat with me that time to pay cheaper rent and I did not know you liked sex that time when I agreed to share with you.
Marius: Yes, you are different than them because my feelings for you are different from them. They were just friends with benefits but you, you're special to me.
Angeline: I am sorry. I have to go. (She reached out to the door lock to unlock it with her hands while she is talking to Marius, and as soon as she unlocked it. She opens it and leave Marius alone in his room.)
Angeline then went downstairs to the pool and hoped that Raphael is not there, so she can have time alone because she wants to be alone for a while to think. Angeline turned to mermaid when she got into the pool. (She has been wearing the Mother Pearl necklace ever since she found out that she was the one the Mother Pearl has chosen to be the new owner). Angeline soaked herself deep in the water, since she can breathe under the water in mermaid form. She started thinking how free she is right now under the water, no one can bother her, no one can see her, she is all alone in that big space. She fell asleep thinking about everything. In the morning, Raphael wondered why Angeline is still not awake and he is hungry. Also, he knows that Angeline has work that day. Raphael knocked on Marius door yelling.
Raphael: Marius! Marius! Open the door!!
Marius woke up and opened the door.
Marius: What are you doing yelling in the morning?! What is the problem?
Raphael: Where is Angeline? She is not in her room, neither the kitchen and she has work soon. She also needs to cook breakfast.
Marius: She does not need to cook breakfast. We can just order for delivery, if she is not around. Also, she might be just somewhere around the house or maybe she went to buy breakfast instead.
Raphael: But her jacket is here.
Marius: I'll call her.
