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

<p>Rowan excuses himself and tells me he has many more things to get to before tomorrow. I feel guilty that I'm not helping him, but he doesn't want my help and I have to respect his decision. Especially now that we're both going through all of this.</p>

<p> My brother has never been someone to show heavy emotions. He always feels like it's unnecessary. One of the only times I've ever actually seen him show how he was feeling was when I was found and he told me who I was. The only other time was when we watched our mother slip away from us. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought he'd be as much of a mess as I am. But other than his apparent lack of sleep, he seems to be holding himself together. Even if he's falling apart on the inside, he sure isn't showing it. I would kill to be able to do it as effortlessly as he can. It's something about him I admire.</p>
