With that she survived. Not by accident. Not by chance. But because the very blood in her veins refused to let her die.
That night, still weak, she discovered another truth.
She was pregnant, a child it was Mark's child.
Her hand had rested on her stomach, and for the first time since the nightmare began, she didn't cry. She didn't scream. She didn't collapse.
She made a promise she was going to survive, for her child.
In the years that followed, she disappeared from the world. She went underground. She learned. She grew. She unlocked the secrets of her bloodline, the truth behind the ring, the legacy that her family protected
She cultivated the power. She studied the signs. She learned how to read the whispers of fate and control the ripple of consequences. And now, five years later, Cecilia was no longer just a survivor.
She was a force, and she was back.
For revenge her first target? Mark's family.
