His Favorite Poison Comes Back To Collect

I'm a mermaid who comes from the deep sea. In order to help alleviate Justin Gunter's cutaneous desiccation disorder, I decide to move to the shore and marry him.

Justin is cold and aloof toward me in front of everyone. But during late nights, he greedily accepts the tears of pleasure that flow down my cheeks while making love to me.

I thought Justin is the type who doesn't know how to proclaim his reliance on me. So, I'm willing to scour all the seas just for the rare treasures that are needed just so he can live life normally like everyone else.

But when Justin's first love, Ruby Lister, is afflicted with the same disease, he actually pins me down and instructs the doctor to carve my tail apart.

"I won't let anything bad happen to Ruby! Rumors claim that a mermaid's flesh can cure this disease! It's your turn to atone for your sins, Celeste!

"If it wasn't for you using your voice to seduce me, Ruby wouldn't have gotten so mad that she fell sick! You owe her this much, so you must be the one paying the price!"

I struggle against Justin's grasp, only for him to break my spine instead. Then, he locks me up in an empty glass tank.

While I'm suffering from intense pain brought to me by dehydration, I'm forced to watch Justin and Ruby sleep with each other.

My scales begin falling off one by one. That's how I die from the excruciating pain.

When I get reborn, Justin's mother sobs loudly while begging me to save him with my tears. But this time, my expression remains stony.

"The merfolk only saves those who are fated to meet them. Your son and I aren't bound by the threads of fate at all. You should prepare for his funeral instead of begging me to save him."

Celeste's Point-of-View

Justin Gunter pinned Ruby Lister against the reef, making love as if they were entirely alone. Ruby's moans came in waves, each louder than the last.

They were still the scumbag and slut who had no shame whatsoever, just like in my past life.

It was then that Justin's mother, Diana Harrison, dropped to her knees before me and begged. "I'm begging you, Ms. Merrow! Justin is my one and only son! You have to save him! If this disease of his can't be cured, his whole life will be ruined, Ms. Merrow!"

It could be said that the Gunter family had consulted numerous leading specialists to treat Justin's cutaneous desiccation disorder, but no one had been able to cure him, which ultimately led them to seek me out.

Justin suddenly came rushing toward me before I could even say anything, radiating a chilling presence. Ruby followed him, her face still bearing a lingering flush.

"You don't have to beg her, Mom! She's nothing but a fraud!" Justin barked as he pulled Diana to her feet and glared at me. "There's nothing seriously wrong
