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?

The talk (2)
"Why do you continue to listen to news about a man you are no longer married to? If he chooses to get back with her, it does not concern you. He is no longer your headache," Edgar said.
"It was my one request that he would not meet with her. He couldn't do that much. It's hard to not hear news about him in this town. Would you be able to quickly move on if it were you and Alessandra-"
"I'll stop you right there. Alessandra and I won't have that problem. We have no issue in our marriage at the moment and I don't see one in the future. It is outsiders who ruin our fun. Move on from him. Start entertaining someone who would piss him off if that is what it would take for you to feel even," Edgar suggested.
"So Mark then?" Priscilla replied, enjoying the frown that quickly appeared on Edgar's face. "He's recently sent me flowers. I've known him for years and he has a good background."
