PRINCESS LOTUS QUENSHI PALACE, HAN RIVER
"All hail his majesty!" The palace guards said in unison and everyone bowed as king Watergire swam majestically into the palace in his usual stern appearance.
The water calmed and the wind stopped, the fishes stopped moving around and the seashells halted their movements. Immediately he swam in, bright shiny red lights came on and the palace became even more beautiful.
He's holding his golden amulet and his golden crown is sitting regally in his head. Everyone remained bowing till he took his seat beside his queen, Aqua.
The king's officials are all present and the sons of the great people of the kingdom; one of them includes
Sage, son of the closest man to the king.
The princesses entered and all the males present turned their attention to them, it's a hard task to not look at them anytime they're sighted, they're enchanting.
Sage was disappointed when he didn't see princess Lotus, only Cleo and Mul came.
"Where's Lotus?" Queen Aqua asked when the two settled beside her.
"She's not in the palace presently," Mul replied.
"How could she not be in the palace when the king specially called everyone" Otis said
Otis is Sage's father.
"Probably out in the city, doing her worthless magic again" Cleo said hatefully.
"Stop hating her for nothing Cleo" Mul defended. "I'm just speaking my mind!" Cleo snapped.
"Enough!" Watergire cautioned and they both bowed as a short turbulence happened in the water, the young fishes ran into hiding.
"We can still go on without her, tell me the news about the preparations" he continued.
Otis stood.
"It's all set like you ordered your majesty, the festival is ready to kick off" he said.
"When?"
"Tomorrow" Otis replied
-I can't wait!
-
Gosh tomorrow should come fast!
-
Who is singing!
-
I guess princess Mul
-
No she sang last year already
-
It should be princess Cleo this year.
-
I want it to be princess Lotus.
Cleo held her breath and Sage smiled, knowing the chosen one already.
"It's up to you to choose the princess that'll sing so I'll finalize the preparations your majesty" Otis bowed.
"Lotus is singing" Watergire said and Cleo sprained up, her tail shaking in anger.
"Lotus sang for the last three years, she sang two years ago too! Mul sang last year, I want to sing this year too! Aren't I a princess too? Stop treating me like an outcast!" She cried out and Watergire folded his fist angrily.
Cleo's voice immediately seized and when she spoke, she couldn't.
"Cleo!" Queen Aqua rushed to get her.
"Her voice won't be back till two hours; no one defies me even as my princess! I'm still Watergire! The king of QUENSHI! My words are final! Lotus is singing!" He said and a great turbulence happened as he swam out of the palace angrily.
Everyone had to hide behind the waves and it took close to five minutes before the water calmed.
"You shouldn't have shouted at his majesty that way, now your voice is gone" queen Aqua rebuked.
Cleo left the palace angrily too without showing any sign of soberness.
"She'll always remain the same," Mul said.
Sage left the palace too and sneaked to the princess’s chamber and he peeked at Cleo's room through the window and saw her busy breaking the treasures in her room in anger.
"Pathetic" he said and she stopped, looking back at him. She started walking meanly to him.
"It's great to see the great Cleo break her room treasures cos of jealousy" he mocked and immediately she got to him, she held his face and tried kissing him but he pushed her away.
"I can never be for you Cleo, try loving Lotus like a sister, then we'll be friends" he said and swam away.
Cleo returned to breaking the treasures.
In another part of the river, mermaids and mermen gathered around, forming a circle.
A soothing tune is playing and the water waves are carrying it everywhere as it plays.
A tiny voice is singing loudly.
The backside of a girl came to view and her long hair reached her waist as she sat, she's the one playing the violin, singing along
-
Take me take me to the land of ecstasy...
-
Take me! Take me! Take me!!!!!!.....
-
Ecstasy ecstasy ecstasy!
-
Take my hands!!!!
-
My hands... take my hands…
-
My heart and soul...
-
My soul my soul my heart!
-
My heart and soul, will follow you!!!! .....
Her face finally came to view when she stopped singing.
-
Princess Lotus marry me!
-
She's too beautiful!
-
The voice!
-
I wish I can just be for her
-
I wish I have that kind of voice
-
I want the hair.
-
I Was feeling sick before but now I'm fine, her voice really heals.
She smiled, hearing sweet comments from people as she stood.
Her long hair flew with the waves, making her look more beautiful.
"Three guidelines to living?" She spoke.
"Honesty, loyalty, love" the people chorused and she smiled again.
"Your highness!" A woman swam into the circle with her baby in her arms.
"What's wrong?" Lotus asked quickly.
"He got scratched mistakenly by an ancient shell, I think he's gonna perish because he has been bleeding, please save my son!" She said quickly.
Lotus swam to her and touched the baby's forehead with her pointer finger.
She removed it after two minutes then she opened her mouth, different colors of flames came out and hit the baby's face.
"AriiAriiMannassarri" she said the magic words and the bleeding stopped immediately; the baby opened his eyes.
"It's fine now," Lotus said.
"Thanks, your highness, your kindness will always earn you goodness" the woman said and Lotus smiled.
"Take care of him please"
"Of course, your highness" she replied and Lotus started leaving.
Everyone bowed respectfully as she left the circle. She was about to vanish when Sage appeared.
"What again?" She asked, not looking at him.
"You're always so mean to me, you'll soon become my betrothed" he said.
"Keep dreaming Sage" she replied and swam far away from him.

On Christmas Eve night, my husband brought his mistress home and demanded that I, his pregnant wife, leave with nothing.
On this day, I lost my husband and also lost the child in my womb...
I Loved You in Silence, You Betrayed Me in French
At my birthday party, my husband whispered to his mistress in French that he missed her. His voice was low, but I heard it all—the black lingerie, the bit about how pregnancy makes you more sensitive. His French clients around us were laughing. He turned and put his arm around me, claiming he was just helping his clients come up with sweet nothings.
He doesn't know I understand every single word. Just like he doesn't know that inside my body, I'm carrying his other surprise. And his mistress—she's pregnant too. Two wombs, one secret.
Confrontation would be too cheap. Tears are worthless. I quietly started cataloging the hidden networks my father left behind, activating the Swiss accounts.
In seven days, Zoey Smith will cease to exist. And what will my husband's reaction be?
When I Disappeared, He Regretted It
The moment the screen lit up, my entire world came crashing down.
The woman on the bed was Calista - that girl who grew up with us since we were kids. And that hand caressing her skin was wearing the wedding ring I had personally put on Matteo's finger.
"I've missed you so much..."
"You drive me crazy, baby..."
Those sweet words I knew so well completely destroyed me.
Everyone said we were the perfect couple, but who knew this marriage was built on nothing but lies?
Since he's so good at acting, I guess it's time I gave him a show of my own. I'm going to make sure everyone sees what this "perfect husband" really is...
He Never Loved Me, Until I Left
I put away the divorce agreement with a wry smile.
When he and my son completely disappeared, he finally panicked.
Three months later .
He knelt down on the streets of Chicago in despair, begging me to remarry him.
My six-year-old son looked coldly at his biological father and said, "Get lost, you bad uncle! You don't deserve to be my dad!"
He Thought I'd Never Leave
When he said he was being bullied, I believed him. When he kissed me on that rooftop, I thought he felt the same. When he asked me to transfer schools with him, I said yes without hesitation.
Then I heard him bragging to his friends: "She'd save her first time for me. Hell, she'd still be thinking of me on her wedding night."
The bullying was staged. The kiss meant nothing. He just wanted me gone—so his new girl could feel more comfortable.
He thought I'd beg. He thought I'd cry. He thought I'd never actually leave.
I left the country.
And ran straight into his stepbrother.
I Died While They Threw Her a Party
Their real daughter came home. She'd only been back two years. That's all it took to erase twenty-four.
When kidnappers grabbed us, I used my body as a shield. They beat me until something inside me ruptured. I was dying from internal bleeding, but no one could tell.
My parents wouldn't even look at me. "This is your fault! None of this would've happened if it weren't for you!"
"Get downstairs and apologize to your sister. If you can't, pack your things and get out."
They threw her a party at a downtown hotel while I died alone in my room.
I thought they'd be relieved. Maybe even glad. I thought they'd just move on like I never existed.
But when they finally learned the truth, they fell apart.
Bury Me in His Regret
The kidnapper pressed the gun to my temple and asked, "Choose your wife or your sister-in-law?"
Zachary didn't hesitate. "Let Valerie go," he said.
He actually chose to save his sister-in-law! In that moment, even the baby in my belly seemed to stop kicking.
Later, they locked me in the basement. Drugs to delay labor were pumped into my veins over and over. Zachary wanted to save the "firstborn son" status for his sister-in-law's child.
When warm blood finally soaked through my skirt, I dialed the number I knew by heart with shaking hands.
"Zachary," I whispered into the phone, "our child... can't wait any longer."
The Kidney That Killed Me
A few months ago, my sister was hospitalized with kidney failure. The doctor said she needed a transplant. My family's first thought was me—the backup daughter they'd kept around all these years.
When my husband Allen took my hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Only you can save her," I agreed without hesitation.
When the doctor explained the surgical risks and potential complications, I smiled and nodded my understanding.
My parents said I'd finally learned what sisterly love meant.
Even Allen, who'd always been cold to me, held my hand gently and said, "The surgery's safe. You're so healthy, nothing will go wrong. When you recover, I'll take you to Hawaii."
But they don't know that no matter how the surgery goes, I won't be around to celebrate.
Because I just got my own test results—I have terminal brain cancer. I'm going to die anyway.

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

The Human Among Wolves
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.
