Love Me, My CEO
Come on, We're competing!

"Dad!"

Lea called out to a large-bodied man with half-whitened hair and a long beard that fared just like his hair. The man was currently grilling meat with a middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful without a frown on her face.

The man squinted his eyes to see more clearly who was coming. As soon as he recognized the voice that was so familiar to him, immediately the bearded man soared in excitement.

"Lea! It's Lea, Ed! Leaaaah!" pekiknya happy.

Leah ran and went into her father's arms. "I finally found you, Dad. Why not take me on vacation too? I'm so cheating!"

"Your Majesty the King, Her Majesty the Queen," said Rue and Matt.

"What is Your Majesty? Just call me Mom and Dad, be done. Ahahaha! Waitaminute! Is that my duy?" the King's eyes saw the Siren walking gracefully with both feet.

"Sirene!" greet King.

Sirens bowed his body. "Your Majesty,"

The king approached the mermaid girl who looked beautiful in a wave-colored turtle neck dress. "You! What are you doing here? Where's your tail?"

"I decided to become a human being, Your Majesty. But I need your help. Right now my strength has just recovered thanks to a human kissing me da-,"

"Kiss! Who would dare kiss my douche?" asked the King in surprise.

For the King, the mermaids who were on the Mermaid Coast in the Cloud Kingdom were his daughters. The King's closeness with the mermaids was so close that sometimes Queen Edwina was jealous because the King spent too much time with the mermaids than Leah.

The Queen offered the group to eat together. "Follow down eat with us. I've doubled this meal for you, "he said, flipping the meat satay that was arranged together with a piece of pineapple and red peppers.

"I didn't know you had such a story, Siren." said the King when the Siren told him why it could be on earth with Leah and her friends.

Suddenly, the King was confused and busy looking around. "I haven't seen Alesya and Anthem. Where are they?"

"They'll catch up, Dad. So said. To vacation here is expensive, so Anthem must calculate the rest of their money first. If there's more, they'll catch up." Lea replied as she removed the meat from her piercer.

"Why don't you help him! Being human is hard, you know. You have to find money to eat or just take a vacation. Again I ask you, Siren. Are you sure you want to be human?" ask the King to the Siren.

The siren nodded blushing. "I want to get married, Your Honor. The man I love is a human being." replied Siren.

Suddenly, King Wren remembered the prophecy given by the Sovereign just before the inauguration day.

'There will be 1 more person who will become the great family of the Cloud Kingdom'

Was the prophecy a man loved by the Siren?

"Then why don't you get married? What are you waiting for?" ask King Wren again.

"Hades. Hades got in their way and now the man was taken away by Hades because of a covenant they had agreed to." Matt replied with a serious look.

He also thought about Aiden's condition. Matt is worried that something will happen to Aiden, just like Brad.

Brad is a mobster who sells his soul to Hades only to defeat Matt back then and in the end Brad's fate ends tragically. Hades ate Brad's soul every day until he was left with no soul. According to Matt, it's worse than death.

King Wren tapped his finger on the beach chair he was sitting on. "Hmmm, the covenant with Hades is forever. Not just one or two days. What did he promise Hades?" ask King Wren again.

"Sirene and immortality." Lea replied grimly.

"Aiden did not know that if you had cast his pearl and he promised Hades that if he returned the pearl to you, Hades would give it immortality. However, since you have bounced the pearl, Hades gets angry and enters Aiden's body until the moment you disappear, they come back apart. Aiden promised you life in return, Hades can take him to the Dark Realm" Lea explained.

Ai pearl siren eyes falling. "Why is he so stupid? I did all this so he could stay alive. It doesn't matter to me if I disappear. I'm happy because the man I love has done me good,"

The mermaid girl was crying. Pearls kept rolling from her pretty eye patch. King Wren hugged the Siren with affection.

"So your goal is to come here, to ask for my help? What kind of help do you expect?" ask the old man.

They don't know what kind of help they're expecting. They also did not know whether Hades would negotiate with King Wren. There is nothing to be feared by Hades, not even the Sovereign.

While it was far from their place, there was a man who was miraculously able to listen to what the King and the others were talking about.

"Are you that hard, Hades?" ask the man to himself.

The man then nodded. "Kece, right, me?" proud answer.

"Curtain! Anyway, whose body are we wearing?" ask the man again. Again to himself.

"I don't know. We just go in" replied the same man.

If anyone else saw the figure of the man, they would definitely think the man was crazy for asking and answering themselves.

Though in the body of the man who is not too tall there are 2 souls. Hades and Aiden. Somehow they finally enjoyed the unification of their souls as they are now.

"Hey, you heard me, right? The siren loves me, Hades. Why can't you accept that fact?" ask Aiden who was inside the foreign man's body.

"I know. A promise is a promise. My agreement can be canceled only under certain conditions." said Hades.

"What for example?" challenge Aiden back.

Hades made a shrug gesture so that the man they were riding with also shrugged both of his shoulders. "It can be anything and right now you're begging for my mercy. Unfortunately, you are immortal. If you were not immortal, I would eat your soul every day. That's my food."

"Aren't you sad to see such a sad Siren? I want to run and hug him. Surrender, Hades and let me and Siren be happy" Aiden said.

The man shook his head strongly. "I'm not giving up. If we give up, our novel ends? How can it be that short, right?"

Aiden thought and fell silent. "You're right too. Difficult yeah? Oh, come on, we'll just go back. I can't bear to see the sirens constantly crying like that."

Aiden tried to get out of the foreign man's body. However, Hades held him back.

"Hey, I've been thinking from yesterday" said Hades. His voice sounded wise this time.

Aiden grunting. "Huh! Can you think? What are you thinking?"

"Damn you! Of course I can think! We will be rivals of love. The siren has not yet turned into a human being and I think I still have a chance to bring the Siren back to Mermaid Beach" Hades replied.

Aiden pulled his body back into the foreign man's body. "Hmmm, you already know the Siren's answer but you still insist on being my rival. Okay, then."

"We'll go back first!" said Hades.

The two of them broke away and came out of the foreign man's body. Hades re-inserted Aiden into his black form and disappeared from the shore.
