Introduction

Dette er en historie om en triumferende genfødsel. Efter at være blevet forrådt, tager hun modigt skridtet og bliver skilt, og begiver sig ud på en vej mod succes. Ved at bruge sine evner som maler imponerer hun alle. Hendes eksmand, fyldt med fortrydelse, bliver en desperat bejler, der vanvittigt forfølger hende. Samtidig afslører hun mysteriet om sin oprindelse, finder sin biologiske far og opnår en overflod af familieaffektion. Hendes liv synes at være på en vinderkurs, med både kærlighed og karriere i fremgang, hvilket gør det til en fængslende læsning, der vil efterlade dig med lyst til mere.

Chapter 1

"Alarmberedskab! Der har været et grimt biluheld på Meteorvej, og ofrene er i dårlig tilstand!"

"Frue! Hold ud, ambulancen og politiet er på vej!"

Luften stank af benzin, bilen var en forvredet vrag, og der var glas overalt.

Cecilia Medici kunne smage blod i munden, den metalliske smag fik hende til at føle sig syg.

Hun havde aldrig set noget så forfærdeligt.

Hendes tanker flød. 'Hvad er klokken? Hvorfor er redderne ikke her endnu? Var det med vilje?'

Den unge chauffør svedte voldsomt, mens han forsøgte at holde Cecilia ved bevidsthed, hans hænder dækket af blod.

"Julian," hviskede Cecilia, hendes ansigt blegt, læberne tørre, øjnene matte.

Chaufføren stivnede. Julian Russell, den mest magtfulde mand i Skyview City!

Det her var slemt! Chaufførens hænder rystede, mens han fumlede efter Julians nummer, ringede febrilsk, indtil han fik forbindelse.

Da opkaldet blev besvaret, udbrød chaufføren, "Hr. Russell! Din kone har været i en bilulykke, redderne er for langsomme, hun kan ikke holde ud meget længere, kom og red hende!"

"Er det sådan? Hun er hårdere end jeg troede. Men jeg har travlt, ring til mig, når hun er død." Julians stemme var kold, dryppende af foragt.

Før chaufføren kunne svare, lagde Julian på.

Cecilias sidste håb forsvandt. 'Julian, ønsker du virkelig, at jeg skal dø? Efterlade mig her uden en smule omsorg?'

Blodet fortsatte med at flyde, og hendes syn blev sort. Endelig holdt hun op med at trække vejret.

Cecilia følte sin sjæl svæve væk fra sin krop. Som femogtyveårig døde hun i nødsporet på Meteorvej.

Hun var Medicifamiliens eneste datter, deres skat, elsket højt, men hun faldt for Julian og insisterede på at gifte sig med ham.

Til sidst faldt Medicifamilien fra hinanden, og hun døde ynkeligt ved vejkanten.

Mens hendes sjæl svævede væk, lukkede hun øjnene. Hvis hun kunne leve igen, ville hun være sin stolte selv.

Pludselig brød en stemme igennem. "Fru Russell, hvilken kjole vil du gerne have på til hr. Russells private fest i aften?"

Da hun hørte den velkendte stemme, åbnede Cecilia øjnene, fyldt med forvirring.

Hvad foregik der? Var hun ikke død? Hvorfor var hun i deres soveværelse?

En skarp smerte skød gennem hendes hoved, og hun vred sig, holdt sig til hovedet i smerte.

Det kom tilbage til hende. Banketten. For fire år siden. Julian havde ikke planlagt at tage hende med, men de var nygifte, og det ville ikke se godt ud offentligt.

"Fru Russell! Fru Russell, er De okay?" Cleo Smiths bekymrede stemme nåede hende.

Cecilia vendte tilbage til virkeligheden, kiggede på Cleo og indså alt.

Hun var blevet genfødt! Tilbage til fire år siden!

Med den tanke faldt Cecilia til ro. "Jeg har det fint." Hun gik hen til garderoben, pegede på en luksuriøs gylden aftenkjole og smilede til Cleo. "Jeg tager denne."

Cleo så overrasket ud, kiggede mellem kjolen og Cecilia, tøvende sagde hun, "Fru Russell, er denne kjole ikke for prangende? Hr. Russell bryder sig måske ikke om det."

Cecilia rystede på hovedet og sagde bestemt, "Jeg kan lide den. Det er det eneste, der betyder noget."

I sit tidligere liv havde hun mindsket sig selv, forvrænget sin personlighed og endda sin stil for at behage Julian.

Hun vidste, der var en pige ved navn Tamsin Brooks, der altid hang omkring Julian.

Tamsin var studerende, altid klædt super enkelt, alt i hvidt. Så Cecilia var begyndt at klæde sig på samme måde, i håb om at fange Julians opmærksomhed.

Resultatet? Julian havde taget Tamsin med til banketten. De havde begge iført sig lignende, enkle kjoler – en hvid, en råhvid. Tamsin havde været festens midtpunkt. Cecilia, til grin.

Mindet sved. Hvor ynkelig hun havde været. Blind og tåbelig. Julian foragtede hende, og hun havde spildt år på at forsøge at vinde hans kærlighed.

Cleo spærrede øjnene op i overraskelse, men forstod hurtigt Cecilias følelser.

Endelig brød Cecilia tavsheden. "Fjern de her tøj senere, jeg vil ikke have dem mere."

Cleo tøvede, men smilede så sødt. "Forstået. Fru Russell, hav en god aften."

Med det vendte Cleo sig om og gik, og lukkede døren blidt.

Cecilia stirrede på sig selv i spejlet. Hun var stadig strålende nu, men hvem ville have gættet, at hun senere ville blive så plaget af Julians tyranni?

Ved tanken rystede Cecilia på hovedet, hendes blik beslutsomt. Der var ingen chance for, at hun ville lade den tragedie gentage sig.

Klokken otte om aftenen ankom Cecilia tidligt til banketten.

Hun bar en fantastisk off-shoulder gylden kjole, det glitrende stof smøg sig om hendes former. Hendes ansigt var fejlfrit, hendes hud glat og delikat, hendes lange hår faldt som et gyldent vandfald. Hendes dybe, klare øjne var som den blå himmel, og tåremolen i øjenkrogen tilføjede et strejf af mystik og tiltrækning.

På afstand lignede Cecilia et maleri, der var blevet levende, strålende og betagende.

Cecilia bemærkede flere par øjne på sig, mange fyldt med nysgerrighed, hån og ondskab.

"Se hvem der besluttede at dukke op," hånede Qiana Morris i en mørkeblå aftenkjole og kraftig makeup.

"Nå, hun er jo Fru Russell. Det ville ikke være passende at lade hende blive hjemme lige efter brylluppet, vel?" drillede Elowen Ross, "Men hun har da et kønt ansigt."

"Hvad nytter hendes skønhed? Hr. Russell er stadig ligeglad med hende." Qiana, en smule utilfreds, hævede stemmen.

Elowen fnisede, hendes delikate øreringe svajede, "Præcis. Da jeg ankom, hyggede Hr. Russell sig stadig med sin elskerinde udenfor. Der bliver en god scene senere."

Da hun hørte deres ord, fandt Cecilia bare deres samtale morsom.

Hun rømmede sig, kiggede rundt, og da hendes blik fejede over dem, var det fyldt med åbenlys foragt og ligegyldighed, som om hun blot kiggede på to myrer.

Cecilias læber havde et svagt smil. Efter at have set på folkene, der stirrede på hende, vendte hun sig elegant tilbage.

Hendes bevægelser var yndefulde og ædle. Hun sagde ikke et eneste ord, men udstrålede en ganske imponerende aura.

"Interessant," sagde en mand i en sort jakke og mørke jeans, mens han stirrede på Cecilias smukke ryg med et glas rødvin i hånden, hans stemme hæs.

Kian Coleman var stadig opslugt af Cecilias skønhed, kun afbrudt da han hørte Alaric Percys stemme.

Kian spærrede øjnene op og sagde til Alaric, "Hvad? Er du interesseret i hende?"

Alaric tog en slurk vin. "Hold det her."

Med det placerede han glasset i Kians hånd og vendte sig for at gå, hvilket efterlod Kian forvirret.

I banketsalen holdt Tamsin genert Julians hånd, iført en enkel hvid kjole, hendes ansigt fuld af nervøsitet. "Det ser ud til, at alle kigger på os, jeg er ikke vant til det."

Julian beroligede hende, "Det er okay, jeg er her. Deltag i nogle flere af disse banketter, så vænner du dig til det."

Tamsin nikkede genert.

Mens de fortsatte fremad, så de en kvinde, der strålede som solen i mængden.
