On the other side was her driver who was waiting for her. She had asked him to take her to the school but not to tell her parents and she had given him some money to shut his mouth. They drove back home and she was able to get back to her room without coming across her parents. The white house was a big mansion, one could live there with people and rarely see them unless they were looking for them.
She threw herself on her bed and began thinking about the passionate kisses he had shared with Lukas.
"shit. What am I doing" she cursed at herself for letting herself think about such nonsense. She was not planning on having any feelings towards that cute boy especially now.
"where did you take her," Mr Edward asked the driver later during that day he was with his wife Patricia.
"to the school where the memorial was happening" he answered them honestly he was a very trusted driver and he was also previously a man in the military his work to the family was not only to be a driver but it came with other tasks.
"why, what did she want there?" Patricia asked him as she took a sip of her wine.
" I am not sure but I saw her with some strands of her hair," The guard said explaining exactly how they looked and from his explanation, they knew that was her hair before she died it was black. Her hair was not the kind that would fall off by being combed or even on normal daily occasions she had such amazing hair, and so the one-time hair fell from her head is that day when Grace pulled it off her head.
"Okay, you may leave," said to him and they were left discussing what to do about this with her husband.
"let's end this narrative now and forever." Mr Edward said as he took a glass of wine and smiled at his wife. They had just the perfect plan.
News about Grace was still out on the media, but it all intensified when reports were released after her mother claimed the body given to her was not her daughter's body. Lukas and his friends were finding no leads especially when they later found out that the body was switched. They had not found any leads on that body and it was now two weeks ever since their search for the body.
The family of that young girl had given up on the case and something had happened to them that caused them to go silent. These days we're getting better for Salma who would not wake up to news about the death of the girl, things were getting calm for her but not for Lukas, his father was putting him under a lot of pressure to find the Gem.
"we may need to go to their family" Sly suggested while they were all seated at the place thinking about the solution to this.
"This girl has nothing to do with what we are looking for, can we just have a solid plan on how we will get to look for the gem" Sandra argued.
"I support Sandra, I think she has a more solid plan" James who was among the three guards the king had added to the team to help Lukas said. They were having a meeting on what to do about finding the gem they would meet at Lukas's house where he stayed with his three friends, that's where his father would also come any time he wanted to get information on how far they had gone on the plans.
"I think am hungry," Sly said trying to avoid having an argument with Sandra over how stupid her plan was.
"not to disagree with your idea but the white is a really big and secured house, I believe the king does not want blood from both of us dying while breaking into the most secured mansion. We need this girl to get to their house. That's all I am saying" Andy said, trying to calm things up.
"Then it could only be in the white house but how do we get in there," JB said, trying to think of it away.
"Lukas can take us there he is dating after all," Sandra said not hiding how annoyed she was at that fact.
"I am not dating her," Lukas said firmly and calmly.
"Then what are you still doing around for almost a month now?" she asked, looking at me like she was demanding answers.
"trying to find a way for us to get what we are looking for" he answered her and she smiled back at him with some kind of satisfaction that nothing was going on between her betrothed and Salma.
"I think we can end the meeting here, there is some food in case you want to have some food before leaving," Lukas said before he got up and left everyone else at the table.
"So what now?" Sly asked Lukas when they were all alone in the kitchen.
"I just want to rest, let's talk about this in the morning during breakfast, tell Andy and JB," he said and walked in the direction of his room.
He felt exhausted because his father was putting so much pressure on him, he missed the sea and he desired to just go there and have a swim in his fins and scales.
The water in pools in the city was not fresh seawater that's why it never had any effect on them even when they went swimming in human pools. Only the seawater could transform them for it was pure, his father had arranged for one to be made in this mansion while it was being designed and that's all his mind was thinking of.
It was a very huge pool and so deep it led to the bottom of the sea, it was like a portal for coming up to the city, but it was not the only one there were also other pools like this but only known to mermaids and mermen. Since it was a modern world only those who were rich enough would have that kind of pool, the others had to use the ocean, but most of the mermaids and mermen had this because they were all rich from doing the business of selling treasures found deep with the oceans to humans which had a good income.
He began undressing as soon as he walked into the room where the pool was and was only left with shorts. He was ready to jump in the pool when he noticed Sandra was also there.
"What are you doing here?" he asked her but she looked at him smiling as she got out of the water naked after transforming and she had legs.
"I was hoping to see you, future husband," she said, moving to where he was seductive.
"You should be leaving then, let's talk when you are dressed," he said to her but she was not having any plans of putting on any clothes.
"Honey, look, we don't have to wait to have some fun, after all, we will end up together," she said to him, now standing in front of him only a few inches away from him.
She held him on his face with one of her hands and let the other hand carrase his abs and moving all around his chest.
"Come on, you know you want this," she said to him as she lifted her head to kiss him.
