The Duke's Masked Wife
The baron’s daughter, Alessandra Barrett, has worn a mask from a young age due to an injury. Many say if you were to see the face behind the mask, you would be cursed and die soon afterward. She is seen as a ghost, avoided by all who visit the baron's home until she becomes the duke’s wife. No one could understand why the duke would pick such a wife. Did he wish to die? What would become of the girl who once hid in the shadows but now had the spotlight on her as the duke’s masked wife? What would everyone say if they were to learn the truth that she was in a contracted marriage with the duke?

"I don't have Edgar wrapped around my finger. The king must have seen it differently," Alessandra denied Hazel's claim. How could she have a man like Edgar wrapped around her finger?

Your husband is a hot topic."
Hazel glanced back at the throne and found the said man with his eyes glued to his wife as they walked around the ballroom. 'This is entertaining,' she thought.
"Completely smitten," Hazel chuckled. She wished to be a fly on the wall to witness when Edgar realized he had fallen in love.
"Who is?" Alessandra was afraid she wasn't on the same page as the queen.
