The merman, my man novel Chapter 64

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 64

I took a deep breath and gathered my courage before opening the cabin door.

The moment I opened the door, a thought surfaced in my mind—Dicken will come to my aid.

Although I was abhorrent to everything Dicken had done to me and how he had almost destroyed my career as a researcher, I believed that he wouldn’t leave me behind for some unknown reason.

“What a hot woman! Now raise both your arms and behave! “

A rough and muscular man was standing in front of me. He was wearing a worn -out hat. He looked at me with a deceitful and disgusting smirk.

He then aimed the opening of the gun barrel at my head.

Nobody would be calm at a time like this. So, unsurprisingly, the shirt on my back was already drenched in sweat. I obediently raised my arms to show that I had no intention of rebelling against them.

I carefully walked out of the cabin and composed myself as I said, “Calm down, I ‘m just a defense less woman.“

The pirates on deck who pretended to be survivors had now done away with their disguises. All of them were tanned and muscular . It looked like even the person who appeared like an elderly man was just another pirate in disguise.

The pirates had already subdued all of the sailors in our crew. They knelt on the floor as their hands and wrists were restrained with ropes.

However, there was a silver lining to the situation. Gary and the soldiers were not among those who were restrained, which meant that they must’ve been hiding somewhere and were preparing for a counterattack.

I was slightly relieved. I looked around the boat and hazarded a guess that they must’ve been hiding in the cabins above deck. That was a strategic position as they could fire the guns downward and take the pirates by surprise.
