A Baby For Billionaire Knox

THEME: Precious Gifts

Adella smiled at them. “It’s surprising right?”

“I didn’t know.” Calliope whispered.

“Is that part of your powers as the special mermaid?” Calista asked with a dazed look.

“I supposed so but if you don’t believe me then say something in your mind and I will tell you.” Adella touched her tail.

“Me!” Calliope raised her hand.

“Okay.. say something to yourself.” Adella instructed before closing her eyes.

“I wish to be a princess.” Calliope said to herself.

“I wish to be a princess.” Adella repeated without wasting time.

Calliope’s eyes widened. “Oh my sea! I just said that to myself!” She exclaimed.

“I believe you.” Calista nodded her head slowly.

“You are so powerful!” Chantae clapped..

The mermaids all laughed for a while before Adella smile faded. “My princess, what’s wrong?” Chantae noticed the sad look on her face.

“I really don’t want to get married.” Adella said with a sad face after a long momentary pause.

“Talk to Titan Oceanus about it.” Calista suggested.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Azizi promised to talk to him.” Adella answered.

“Are you hoping for a positive response?” Calista asked.

“I really don’t know what to think.” Adella mumbled.

“Anything Titan Oceanus says is final.” Chantae muttered.

“My princess, please don’t tell Titan Oceanus about our love for the princes.” Calliope pleaded.

“Yes.. you know prince Fairfax is now engaged to princess Nakendra. I don’t want to get into trouble.” Chantae pouted.

“Well I don’t know if Fairfax truly loves Nakendra. You know how it is, you have to love whoever is given to you.” Adella said with a shrug.

“I am sure prince Fairfax loves princess Nakendra, did you not see the way he smiled at her at the bonding ceremony?” Calista demanded.

A soft knock sounded on the door. “It is Azizi.” Adella whispered to them.

Chantae went to the door. “I’ll get it.”

“Is she ready?” Azizi asked.

“Yes prince Azizi .” Chantae bowed.

“Can I come in?” He requested.

“Yes my prince.” Chatae opened the door wide for him to swim in.

“Morning lovely mermaids.” Azizi greeted with a bright smile.

“Good morning pince Azizi.” They chorused while Calista and calliope bowed to him.

Azizi swims towards his sister. “Happy birth celebration princess Adella.” He kissed her cheeks.

“Thank you Azizi.”

The girls were almost leaving but Azizi stopped them. “You can stay, I have something for you all.”

The triplet mermaids faces brightened. “What is it? What do you have for all of us brother?” Adella demanded.

“Can I invite someone in my princess?” Azizi requested.

“Yes brother.” Adella gave the permission.

Azizi whistled and a merman swims in with a treasure box in his hands. “Thank you Ekait. You can go ahead.” He said before the merman exited the room.

Azizi set down the box and ordered the girls to sit on the sea-moss bed. “I, prince Azizi, the precious treasure of Merivilla sea, I bring to you great treasures of our precious kingdom!” He gave them a mock bow.

And the girls giggled happily. Azizi brought out a diamond necklace. “This is for you, mermaid Calista.”

“Wow! Thank you prince Azizi!” Calista said.

He brought out a diamond ring and gave it to Chantae. “Thank you o rince Azizi!” She exclaimed happily.

“And for you, mermaid Calliope.” He gave her a shiny pearl.

“This is beautiful.” She muttered.

“You attach it to your tail, it is not going to hurt because it is magical just say where you want it to be.” Azizi instructed.

“Oh I want it on my abdomen!” She replied, excitement in her tone.

And then the star pearl glowed brightly and it got attached to her abdomen. “Wow!” They gasped.

“It is indeed magical!” Adella covered her mouth.

“Thank you prince Azizi!” Calliope thanked him.

“I should be the one thanking you girls for taking care of Adella. You have been nothing but good and caring to her.” Azizi said.

“It is a pleasure prince Azizi.” The mermaids chorused and bowed to him.

Azizi closed the box. “What about me?” Adella asked with am arched brows.

“Nothing for the princess because you seem to have everything right here in the palace.” Azizi replied with a smirk.

Adella frowned at him. “That’s unfair.” She pouted.

Azizi chuckled. “Close your eyes.” He instructed.

Adella raised her brows. “Do as I say because my gift is going to blow your mind away.” Azizi chuckled.

“I can’t wait.” Adella closed her eyes.

Azizi reopened the box. “Open your eyes princess.” They gasped in shock when he brought out her gift.

“Oh my sea!” Adella screamed.

It was a bracelet! A one of it kind. Adella had pestered Azizi to let her have the bracelet for years now but he declined saying that it wasn’t the right time for her to have such powerful bracelet in her possession. She liked it because it had the color to the sea, an aquamarine Neifion bracelet and it also has the same color of Adella’s eyes.

Adella rushed towards him and hugged him tightly. “Thank you, Azizi.” It was the best gift she has received so far on this special day. “You made my day, Azizi.”

“Anything for you sister, do you like it that much?” He asked.

“Yes Azizi! Thank you!” She kissed his cheeks and pulled back.

Adella wore the bracelet on her right wrist and it glowed brightly. And when it automatically attached to her wrist the light went off.

“I love it Azizi!” Then Adella tried to remove it, to save it in her treasure box but it didn’t come off.

“What’s going on?” She asked.

Azizi leaned in to help her but suddenly Adella’s eyes glowed and the bracelet did the same. Azizi staggered backward.

“Princess Adella your eyes!” Calista pointed.

They were all surprised. “What is this bracelet?” Adella asked

It stopped glowing when she stopped trying to get it out of her wrist and her eyes was normal too.

“Well I think this five thousand years old bracelet has found it rightful owner.” Azizi said.

The bracelet belonged to a water-god named Neifion and it was one of Merivilla’s most precious treasure. They have had it in possession for almost three thousand years now.

“But why did her eyes glowed?” Chantae asked

“I don’t know why it happened like that too.” Azizi replied honestly.

“Maybe because… it has the same color of my eyes.” Adella thought but she soon waved it off.

“Azizi did you talk to father?” She asked.

“Yes.”

“What did he say?” Adella asked curiously.

“I am sorry, Adella. Father didn’t change his mind. He said you have to choose between prince Delmer and prince Dylan in three days time.” Azizi reported.

Adella’s smile dropped. “No.. no.. I can’t choose amongst these princes.” She muttered unsteadily. Tears welled up in her eyes.

“Please don’t cry today, Adella.” Azizi begged her.

“This is so unfair, why are they so quick to marry me off?” She sobbed.

The mermaids came around to console her.

“I am sorry. I have to go now, the ceremony is about to begin.” He said

“Thank you, Azizi.” Adella sniffled.

“What are you going to do?” Chantae asked as she touch up the princess make up.

“I have to push through with my plans.” Adella answered with a serious look on her face.

The girls exchanged confused glances. “What plans?”

Adella looked up at them. “Never mind.” She added.

Adella didn’t want to tell them about it. Her plans was the only way to stop her marriage to any of the princes. Adella would be free if things worked according to her plans. She wouldn’t have to get married to prince Delmer or Dylan. And nothing was going to stop her.
