Derek and Melinda sighed with relief. Derek was wary of Aelfric getting too close to Marissa, fearing Aelfric might uncover the nature of Derek’s relationship with her. Melinda, on the other hand, was merely hoping things would turn out as she had expected. They both

Like Melinda, Chloe also sighed in relief. As long as the impostor wasn’t Riss, everything was fine. She could finally believe that Connor’s public affection for Marissa, the village girl, was merely for show. Chloe was confident that getting
