"What do you plan to do, Aimea?" one of the elders asked cautiously."I plan to take matters into my own hands and separate Darell from Marcelyn," Aimea replied firmly. "I want to kidnap her and lock her up in our dungeon. That way, Darell will have no choice but to marry Hannah."The elders murmured amongst themselves, clearly uncertain about Aimea's plan.
