Ava's husbands helped her to her office and laid her down on the sofa.
She looked at her broken nails with distress and hatred.
She felt like bombing Chloe to ashes, or tearing her apart using her wood powers to make sure she won't even become an undead.
She clenched her hand as she thought of the possibilities. Her hand can heal faster but the requirements are vast and hard to find.
Ava has a secret that even her husbands doesn't know.
After living her last life fulfilled, she can't say it's a rebirth because she found herself with her slightly aged face back in her past life.
She had maintained herself by drinking mers essence or sometimes engaging in s** with younger mers.
She was pretty sure that, her hands will take long to heal.
Ava looked at her husband sweetly with brimming tears in her eyes, " did you find out what they were talking about, it's not that am spying on them but sister is too hateful, she will deceive mother."
Jaçk the hacker reassured her by nodding his head, " it was nothing important, she did not want to attend to music school and another thing is that she wanted to visit the fruit plantation in the palace."
" The fruit plantation?" Ava sat up frantically, her reaction was too strong.
And how can't it be.
In her last life, she heard that Chloe found a wish tree.
The tree could fulfill all of their owners wish. And that is what she really wants.
The tree was contracted by Chloe and she had to use every trick for Chloe to wish the contract to be severed and for her, Ava to contract it.
She had been searching for the tree since the time she came back in time.
Ava became anxious.
She didn't even bother faking it, she anxiously took out her phone before calling someone.
The call was quickly connected.
Ava in a voice different from her gentle one, asked wether Chloe has left and if she has left with any tree.
The person at the other side seemed to have told her something, she hastened in weraing her shoes and went in her restroom inside the office and with a bang, the door was closed.
She tagged at the bed while pressing buttons that were lined up at the age, the bed split apart and inside there was a cassette like compartment filled with red liquid.
She removed her clothes before sleeping in the cassette.
There was cracking of bones and her fingertips wounds started healing at an incredible speed.
"This pain, I can't get used to it." She sighed while her face concocted in pain.
She emerged from the liquid. She looked new.
Her skin was fair, like a newborn.
She was reborn.
Looking at the retreating woman, Jack the hacker smile widened, he looked at at his fellow spouses before he clicked his tongue in annoyance.
He murmured some words and the mers dissipated.
" How troublesome, but patience is the key."
Jack sent a voice message before exiting the office. "Nkt, just as you predicted mistress, she will be there in half an hour."

"Who was it." Chloe asked Nillan after she saw how misterious she looked when talking in the phone.
"Curious, are we?" Nillan raised an eyebrow.
"You looked mysterious and mysteries should be adventured in pairs."
"Pfft, in pairs? Soon I assure you, you won't like the mysteries darling." Nillan smile darkened.
Seeing her expression, Chloe knew she should be patient.
"Seconds ago you looked like you don't want to be tainted by looking at me but right now you are curiously inspecting me, what's up?" Nillan asked.
"What are the red strings on your wrist."
"Red strings?"
"Yes red strings, almost every woman has it, even Ava but hers were aged and they looked broken.
But yours look new and intact." Chloe replied.
She was curious but she didn't voice it at first. Alot of women had the strings up to twenty while others had more than thirty in all the wrists.
"What else can you see?" She looked serious.
" The initials in them." Chloe said truthfully.
"And your wrist?" Nillan was still serious.
"All of them are empty."
"All of them? What do you mean by all of them." Nillan's voice rose. Her tone now more serious than ever.
"Eenhe, most of the right wrist red strings are broken and fading.is something wrong?" She couldn't ignore the agency in Nillan voice.
"Everything is wrong, including you. You need to promise me never tell anyone you untrust or even trust about the red strings again." Nillan looked at her worriedly.
"I promise." Chloe even raised two of her fingers high. " But, what are the red strings?"
"The left wrist strings, represents marriage status, companionship, faithfulness and more importantly if you have done the deed with your spouses only if they are intact.
The broken strings in the left wrist means the spouses are dead.
The right hand wrist is mostly accompanied by cheating.
About Ava, it is hard to describe but one thing am sure is that she is sleeping with different mers."
Nillan wriggled her eyebrows playfully before saying. "You really are strange darling, left red strings are always seen by couples themselves and right hand strings are always seen and known to the woman herself only.
So dear, you look more intriguing than a couple of days we last met."
The last sentence piqued Chloe's interest.
There is no clear truth to what you have no recollection about.
Even if a mer comes from nowhere and claims to be pregnant with her seeds she will still doubt weather it's the truth or lies.
"Interesting." Nillan said.
"What looks interesting to you?" Chloe asked back, she is completely tired in trying to figure out people.
They always speak things she couldn't understand.
"You have amnesia." It wasn't a question but a statement.
"How do you know?" Chloe narrowed her eyes. She became vigilant.
"Nts nts nts nts, it is not how I knew but what I know." Nillan shook her finger slowly.
Chloe looked at Nillan carefully before walking to the tree seedlings that were ahead.
"Everything about them." She told Nillan while pointing at the tree seedlings.
"That's how I knew." Nillan murmured before walking to the seedlings ahead.
The mischievous seedlings encircled her hand while trying to cut it using there leaves but she swatted them aside.
The trees started singing in unison.
Two evil women meet in secret,
They love each other which isn't right
They think they are tall but they are short
They meet a week in every month.
They have big boobs and big...
"Shut up." Chloe interrupted their stupid singing.
"This song sounds familiar?" She looked at the smiling Nillan before asking but she just shrugged.
Nillan looked at the trees before saying. " They don't have any characteristics what we keep here mostly infact are not seedlings but mature trees.
They have been here for almost fifteen to twenty years now, some were collected from different parts of the world.
You purified them fifteen years back.
This trees here produce fruits that we plant."
