CHAPTER 1: THE NIGHT THEY ABANDONED HER
The slap knocked Isabella Bennett against the front door.
"You're nothing but bad luck!"
Her adoptive mother struck her again before she could stand.
The sixteen year old girl wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"I didn't steal the necklace."
Her adoptive sister Sophia laughed.
"Who else would believe a girl we picked up from an orphanage?"
Richard Bennett tossed a small suitcase onto the porch.
"You've embarrassed this family for the last time."
Outside, snow covered the driveway.
The temperature had dropped below freezing.
Isabella looked at the only people she had ever called family.
"Dad... please."
Richard's face remained cold.
"I was never your father."
Her mother opened the front door.
"Get out."
"You have one minute."
Sophia folded her arms.
"If you beg, maybe we'll let you sleep in the garage."
Isabella looked at each of them.
Slowly.
Silently.
Then she picked up the torn suitcase.
"I hope..."
She stopped.
"No."
"I know."
"One day you'll regret tonight."
Richard burst into laughter.
"You?"
"A penniless orphan?"
The door slammed shut behind her.
She stood alone in the snow.
No money.
No family.
No future.
At least...
That was what the Bennett family believed.
Because thousands of miles away...
Inside a private estate in Switzerland...
An old man looked at a faded photograph of a little girl.
His hands trembled.
He whispered through tears.
May you like
"We're still looking for you..."
"My princess."
