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

The next few days were the same. Ace had finally came to visit me. I wasn't mad that he hasn't visited me before because I understood that he had work to do. After all, not everything is about me.

Doctor Jenny had done the tests on me to make sure I was fine. They all came back with positive results. My wounds are starting to heal faster but I still haven't heard from Ivy. She is probably still heart broken. I haven't tried to talk to her either. She needed space and I felt bad.

I really smelt bad. I haven't showered for about a month. I haven't been able to since I've been in the dungeon, then the hospital. The first thing I was going to do once I'm out of here is shower.

Speaking of getting out of here, the doctor said I can leave when my wounds heal enough that I won't need bandages anymore.

I've come to hate this place. I'm stuck to staring at a sterile white wall and medical supplies. The beeping of the heart monitor is really annoying.
