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 let go of Chuck and started at my blood stained hands. They were shaking profusely. I grabbed onto his shoulders and shook him.

"No, no, no. Chuck, please!" I screamed. A strong pair of arms grabbed me by my waist and pulled me back with much struggle. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," I repeat over and over as I let Oscar pull me away. "This is all my fault," I sobbed. Oscar turned me around and grabbed my face gently. Tears were also flowing freely from his eyes.

"Hey listen," he said, looking into my eyes which were probably bloodshot. "This isn't your fault."

"Yes it is," I whispered. "If I would have told you from the start, if I wouldn't have left, this wouldn't have happened and he would still be alive." I continued to apologize over and over as Oscar just held me. His tears fell onto me but I couldn't care less. I let the sparks that danced between us comfort me.
