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 pull out the necklace that sits perfect in the box, setting both the bag and the box down on the floor next to me. I let the chain hang over my fingers as I bring the pendent closer to my face, examining it. The pendant is in the shape of a full moon. Four letters are engraved into the moon. It doesn't take me long to realize they're the initials of our family.

"Wow I—" My words muffle as my hand covers my mouth. I look beside me at Rowan's hand. He too is shocked. His box contains a ring that holds a heavy similarity to that of my necklace. It's a plain, thick, gold banded ring, but our initials are engraved along the band. The two pieces of jewelry are meant to resemble the necklace that our father gifted our mother on her eighteenth birthday. The exact necklace he had given her was the same one that belonged to our grandmother before she died.

I look up at our parents. "These are beautiful," I say, smiling.

"Thank you so much, Mom, Dad," Rowan breathes.
