In public, she was the noble daughter of the Muller family and the enviable young mistress of the Carrell family. But behind the scenes, she was a poor maid who had to wear a mask all day long and struggled for her livelihood.

Due to a conspiracy, she was forced to marry Ralph Carrell, son of the most powerful family in Northfield, in the name of Rayna Muller.

After the wedding, Ralph doted on her.

When Rayna showed up and claimed the place, she shed all her glory and left. She thought she would never see Ralph again, but Ralph took her into his arms and said, "Mrs. Carrell, you are not running away from me."

The Odd Luna Series

I woke up to the sound of Oscar coming back into the cell. I didn't bother to even look at him, so I instead started at the wall behind him. I've lost track of time since I've been here. Ivy has resided to the back of my mind and hasn't come out.

"You have to eat Rachel." Legitamite concern was etched in his voice.

"I don't want anything from you. You had so much time to start caring and you chose now?" I spat, wincing at the pain that the silver brought to me.

"Well I did warn you, I don't like to play around," He said. I didn't say anything after that.

"Now eat something," He commanded. I didn't say anything to that either. "You haven't eaten in days. You haven't moved from that position either."
