The Mermaid He Betrayed

I am the purest-blooded elite mermaid. My tears turn into priceless pearls, and my heart's blood can bring the dead back to life.

When Ethan Hunt went bankrupt, drowned in debt, and was being hunted by his enemies, I pulled him from the edge of the cross-sea bridge where he stood drenched in blood, ready to end it all.

I thought he was useless, but my heart softened anyway. I forced myself to cry an entire bag of top-grade pearls to fill the hole of his debts.

When signing the master-servant agreement, I warned Ethan: "You're not worthy of me. You're just a dog I'm keeping, my accessory."
