The Mermaid's Tear

A mermaid hides magic to help her contract husband, who scorns her until the truth surfaces.

Rescued by fisherman Henry, mermaid Freya fulfills a life debt through a three-year marriage to his CEO grandson Anderson. She covertly uses her powers to secure his professional success while he treats her with disdain, preferring the lies of his former partner Chloe. When the term concludes, Freya signs divorce papers and prepares to depart. Henry then produces a flash drive documenting her silent contributions and true nature as the Sea Goddess. Confronted with proof, Anderson pleads for reconciliation. At the Admiralty Circle induction ceremony, her divine identity is publicly confirmed. Chloe attacks with a dagger; Anderson intercepts the strike, and Freya heals his wound.
