1 Chapter 1 The End of One Life

The sky was pitch black as Liliana trudged her way home in complete exhaustion. The rain soaked through her clothes so they clung to her skin giving her a chill and the crashing thunder made her ears ring.

'Mother and Father you can finally rest in piece as you have finally been avenged,' Liliana hoped they heard her as she stumbled aimlessly down the dark pathway. Thinking back on the past 24 years she had been alive was painful and fierce anger flashed in her eyes.

She was born the only child of wealthy tycoons who loved and spoiled her unconditionally. Because of the fame and wealth of her family her parents were terrified of her being kidnapped so Liliana usually stayed at home rarely going out. Due to this her parents were worried about her being lonely with no other children so when she was seven years old they brought home a young girl who had tragically lost her parents to be her companion.

It seemed fine for the first year and Saphira, the supposed new sister, acted totally lovable and innocent. Being reassured her parents felt that they could finally focus a bit more on the company and began to leave on a few short business trips. The problems started suddenly after that.

Incidents started happening such as broken vases or wrecked property and the blame somehow always landed on Liliana. The then eight year old and naive Liliana had no idea what was going on or how to defend herself. No one believed her and the staff acted as witnesses. It only got worse but when her parents returned they were angry and believed their beloved daughter.

They gave the entire staff their notice and were sorting out what to do about Saphira when something major happened in the company. Her parents had to rush off on one more trip before sorting it out but in the end they never returned. Before she knew it Saphira had a coming out as the grieving biological daughter and she had been shipped overseas with a false identity.

A hit man appearing when she hit sixteen had her going into hiding with yet a new identity. During all this time she had pieced together all the clues and knew what happened. With thoughts of revenge fuelling her she studied like a demon and started her own company which became a monstrous enterprise.

With these resources she took back her parents company and exposed the bitch and her family that caused all this. Turns out that Saphira was their butlers daughter and their family was behind the whole thing. This morning they all 'tragically died' while trying to escape.

The path Liliana followed led to a cliff overlooking the ocean. On a calm day it was a peaceful view but tonight the wind was howling and the waves crashed angrily against the rocks below. It was a turbulent and violent display of nature's power and reflected her feelings perfectly. Liliana stood there for what must have been hours feeling lost now she had completed her revenge. What was left for her now?

She had completed her life goal but had never looked any further than that. She had no friend's or family left and had never felt the slightest attraction to any man she had met. Honestly speaking she was sick of this world and wished for a new life. It would be great to start over somewhere else. Anywhere else other than this God forsaken mud pit of a world where every person she had ever cared about left or betrayed her.

Sighing Liliana turned to leave but was stunned when a deafeningly loud boom of thunder sounded and a streak of lightning streaked down from the heavens and struck her chest. Liliana felt the power of that bolt flowing through her body as she was thrown back and off the cliff down into the dark waves below. Fighting to retain her consciousness the last thought drifting sarcatically through her mind were to be careful that you wished for.
