The Mermaid's Tear

When Freya was a little mermaid, the fisherman Henry rescued her, and she has lived ever since with a debt of honor. Years later Henry asks her to marry his grandson Anderson for three years and help him get ahead. She agrees, even though Anderson treats her with coldness and contempt. Throughout the marriage Freya works in the shadows, using her magic to secure his success, while he believes every manipulative word from his ex, Chloe.

After three years of sacrifice and heartbreak, Freya signs the divorce papers and gets ready to go back to her real life. Then Henry brings out the evidence he has been keeping: proof of how loyal she was and of all the times she protected Anderson. Everything Anderson thought he knew about his wife falls apart, and he begs for another chance. But at a formal ceremony, Freya's true nature is revealed: she is the Sea Goddess.

In a fit of desperation, Chloe attacks with a weapon and hits Anderson instead of her target. Freya's divine power saves his life, but whether she can open her heart to him again is still an open question.
