Chereads / The Mermaid 'life of Mia' / Chapter 42 - Thorn of peace

Chapter 42 - Thorn of peace

Prachi raised her head slightly, she felt pain in her head and she groaned endlessly, she look around the room and noticed she was alone, she sigh deeply as tears gathered in her eyes, her father.....

"Aunt Prachi, you are awake" Ana said interrupting her thought and ran to meet her.

"You are awake, thank goodness" she said and held her hand as tears dropped from her eyes.

"I thought you won't wake up, I was scared, my mother wants us to leave the house, she want to leave you alone, I don't know why she is mean" she said and cried more, Prachi held her hand tight and smiled.

"Stop crying Ana, I'm fine, your mother won't take you anywhere, I won't let her. Why was she beating you? Tell me why she was beating you" Prachi asked and look at the little girl.

"She didn't beat me, she was just playing with me then, you misunderstood the situation" Ana lied.

"Are you lying to me? I know what's in your mind and that's not true, how could you lie to me Ana? You are lying to aunt and you are happy about it" Prachi denounced and sigh.

"Why? Don't you want me to help you? Do you want to keep crying? Your mother is beating you everyday but you never told me and today I caught her, you are lying" she said again, she was heartbroken.

"No aunt, I never wanted to lie but my mother will beat me again if I tell you anything" Ana said and cried.

"But she is not here, she won't hear you, no one will tell her, do you think I will tell her? Don't you trust me? I will do no such thing, I'm your friend you know, I have hid many secrets for you, I will still hide this one" Prachi said and Ana smiled, she cleaned her face and smile again.

"So are you ready now?" she asked and Ana nod her head happily.

"My mom beat me because I told you about my dad" Ana said and look at the door to check if someone was there.

"Your dad? Who is your dad?" Prachi asked, she was confused.

"Well.....The one I told you about, have you forgotten?" Ana asked

With a confused expression, Prachi looked at her "I don't remember. Wait.... Is it Jace?" she asked.

"We were talking about him before my mom beat me, humph...I can't believe you forgot so soon" Ana explained, as Prachi looked at her confused.

" I think I remember now, Mr. Raphael" Prachi concurred and smile.

"You are correct" Ana agreed and they laughed.

"Is he your biological father?" Prachi asked.

"I don't know, mom didn't tell me anything like that" Ana explained.

"Your mom is hiding something, I must find out what it is" Prachi added,

"And she is just so quiet about it, I can't believe she is so mean to her child, how will she deal with strangers?"

"Aunt, she is nice sometimes. She just.....

"Ana" Jelly interjected.

"Oh! You are awake" she said looking at Prachi, Ana looked down scared, Prachi held her hand and smiled, she turned to Jelly.

"Don't you want me to wake up? Do you think I was dead?" Prachi asked and smiled.

"I didn't say that, I...

"But you were shocked to see me, I fell down and you didn't even bother to treat me, you left me alone. You want me to die, right? You didn't even applied first aid or anything, that alone is enough to prove your true intention towards me" Prachi interjected.

"How can you say that? You are my friend, why would I wish you death?" Jelly asked.

"Are you sure I'm your friend? Do you really take me as one?" queried Prachi as tears dropped from her eyes.

"I don't understand, are you calling me an enemy?" puzzled Jelly as she look at Ana not knowing how to take the girl away from Prachi.

"You can answer that question yourself. I'm playing with Ana, we will talk later" Prachi declared without looking at her.

"I want to take her somewhere, you will play when we return" Jelly assured.

"Sorry but you won't take her anywhere" Prachi asserted and held Ana firmly.

"Why?" Jelly asked.

"Where are you taking her to?" Prachi inquired.

"Are you interrogating me because I want to take my daughter out? What right do you have over her? Who gave you the right to question my actions towards my child?" Jelly challenged, Prachi scoffed.

"You don't have any right over her as well, you are just a wicked soul seeking revenge in an innocent child. Don't pretend to me, I know what you want to do" Prachi blurted out.

"How can you say that? How can you say I'm wicked? I am her mother, you don't have right to accuse me falsely" Jelly shouted out of frustration.

"Prove it, prove to me that you are truly her mother. You heartless being" Prachi cursed.

"Don't you dare say any harsh word to me? Ana, will you stand up from there?" Jelly commanded.

"Yes mom" Ana said and stood up shaking vigorously, she was too scared to even walk, Prachi pull her down and sneered.

"She won't go anywhere with you, if you are truly bold? Come and take her from me" Prachi challenged.

"Don't make me angry, just leave my daughter alone. Mind your business, Prachi. Leave us alone, go and look for sister" Jelly shouted in frustration, she bite her lips as she realized she was caught, if she is not careful Prachi could find out everything.

Prachi smiled uncomfortably, she was hurt. How could this woman use her sister's disappearance to hunt her.

"I won't, are you going to fight me? Come and take this child if you are truly her mother, why are you standing close to the door? Are you scared? You need to be brave before making certain decisions" Prachi added.

"You are shaking as if someone beats you, as if your blood no longer flows around your body freely. Stop blabbering and take action for once"

"Come here Ana, what are you still doing with her? Why are you still sitting there?" Jelly shouted.

"She won't come, she wants freedom. Freedom from your clutches, freedom from your anger and hatred, freedom from your unending beating" Prachi protested.

"Clutches? Anger and hatred? Beating? How can I be that awful? How can I treat my daughter like a slave?" Jelly asked and Prachi scoffed,

"You should answer those questions yourself, as far as I'm concerned, she won't go anywhere" Prachi affirmed.

"Who gave you the right? Do you think you can take her away from me? She is mine alone" Jelly shouted, Ana cried out as she look at her mother.

"Don't cry, you have to be brave. Don't be weak, she will bite you again if you are not strong" Prachi said, Ana nod her head in agreement and cleaned her face.

"Tell us about her father, you have to stop lying, it doesn't suit you" Prachi chided.

"You aren't saying the truth here, you are the one who must leave that girl. You are influencing her negatively" Jelly retaliated with disdain.

"If you are truly her mother, come and take her away" Prachi challenged, Jelly scoffed and bite her lip angrily, she won't dare do that, she will have to leave Ana behind. Prachi seem to know the truth but not everything and she will find that out if she go close to her, she has to maintain her distance, in fact she has to leave now.

"Keep her to yourself, at least you can take care of her right? You have the money to provide all her needs, I don't have to worry about anything" Jelly assured.

"You are foolish, I know you will leave her. My tactics worked on you, now I clearly know you are not her mother and you are hiding something. Now I know she has been suffering as well" Prachi added.

"Why would you do that? Why were you so mean to her? What wrong has she done? She is just a child and you are already maltreating her, why?"

"You can think whatever you want, I don't care. I'm leaving this house, you can keep her" Jelly sneered and walked away.

"Stay here Ana, don't go anywhere. I won't let her leave, she has a lot of questions to answer" Prachi said and stood up.

"You have to be strong, don't let her intimidate you again, do you understand?" Prachi asked.

"Yes I will be strong" Ana said and smile.

"I will be back" Prachi and left, Ana smiled as she walked away. Finally someone stood up for her, she smiled again.

Ava walked towards the room in annoyance, must she be the one to check on Mia, she grumbled as she hasten her footsteps. On getting to the doorstep, she heard some sound like moan.

"Am I hearing sounds now? Or, is it a ghost behind me?" she asked as she turned around.

"No one is here, so where is that sound from?" she asked again and look at the door. She sigh and pushed it open, she was shocked as she stare at them having sex.

"I thought she was sleeping or possibly, wasn't she in a coma? She collapsed, right?" she asked no one in particular as she opened her eyes vividly.

"I think I'm dreaming or am I in the wrong room?" she asked as she rub her eyes and blink multiple times. She looked at the room number and sigh.

"It's the right room, they are having sex again, I can't believe this. What is wrong with this girl anyway? How can she repeat a mistake twice? Wahoo, these two deserve serious punishment, I can't believe they are back at it" she said as she look at them.

"I will figure out just what to do about you guys, for now enjoy yourselves. You need it while the fun lasts anyway, I can't wait to cause more trouble. Oh goodness! I have been bored and now I have a palatable evidence to cause problem for someone" she giggled and walked away leaving the door open, she smile and look back as she walk towards the adjoining corridor, within a flash she bumped into Frelin. They both groaned as they tried to nurse their pain.

"Did you not see me? Are you blind or something?" Ava asked in a cold tone, Frelin look at her and hissed without a word.

"Instead of you to apologize, you are hissing on me" Ava said and pushed her.

"How dare you? Are you alright?" Frelin queried.

"Such guts, you bumped into me and you are insulting me as well, no respect" Ava commented.

"We bumped into each other, we are supposed to apologize equally, not you trying to boss me as if you are some sort of an important person" Frelin said without looking at her.

"How dare you insult me? Apologize now" Ava shouted.

"I don't have your time, as you can see I am busy. Go vent your anger on someone else, I have an important place to be right now" Frelin said and walked past her. Ava turned to look at her, she was very angry, she bite her lip as she pondered on what just happened, she sigh deeply and walk away still anger, she just wish she could strangle her to death.

Frelin walked in the corridor without looking back, she don't care if anyone is glaring at her but she was prepared, if Ava dare run after her for a fight she would fight back, she won't take any insult from her, not anymore. Gone are the days when she was scared and dreaded Ava like a plague, she won't allow her anymore, she won't be scared at all, she will face her in every way, she held her head high as she walked slowly towards the end of the corridor but soon stopped as if the remote controller pressed pause, she turned to look inside the room and opened her mouth shocked.

"I thought...she was...unconscious" she stammered as she stare at them.

"Did she wake up suddenly? This is unbelievable, she didn't even tell us she was awake, how can she be having sex when she almost died?" she thought as she look at them again, she sigh and look away but frown suddenly as if she saw a ghost, she turned to look at them and she was more shocked than before.

"Am I dreaming? This can't be real, no no no, I think I'm seeing double or is my sight poor? Should I visit a doctor?" she wondered as she look at them again, she sigh heavily.

"It's Patrick, why will Mia have sex with him? Wait a minute, when she collapsed outside, they were naked. That means they were having sex outside before, haa she can't do that, no one shares a man with the leader of the crew, it's a rule and everyone must obey it. Is she not aware of it? Oh goodness! Melina will punish her severely for this, but is she not aware of the rules?" she thought as she look at them worriedly, Mia turned her head and saw her, Frelin shakes her negatively and walked away making Mia feel uneasy. She moaned loudly as he cummed in her, he collapse on top of her trying to catch his breath.

"I won't let you off my side" he said and kissed her cheek.

"Go away, you beast" she said and look at the door, he chuckled and kissed her cheek again.

"Why do I feel something is wrong? Her look made me so uneasy, is something going on?" she thought as she look at Patrick.

"Go away, do you want to kill me?" she said as she pushed him away from her body, he smiled and touched her face.

"How much am I paying?" he asked.

"A lot, 50000$" she blurted out without looking at him.

"What? Isn't that much?" he asked surprised.

"You fucked me twice so I triple the amount" she sneered.

"You are being rude now" he said.

"I won't collect less and I mean it" she said and kissed him.

"That kiss is not pure, it's deception" he said and lick his lips.

"Whatever you call it, I want to go home now" she said and left the bed.

"I will send your money to you, you will receive it before getting home" he said.

"No problem but if it's not complete, I will come to your office tomorrow and collect everything, I mean it" she said and walked to the bathroom, he scoffed and look at her before smiling as if contemplating on what she said.
