Gabriela was a killer. It was simply what the universe had intended for her to be, from the slums she grew up in, to the individuals that tainted every part of her being. The Alcaraz family was all she had; she eliminated their targets, and they paid her generously.
So when she shot Sergi Alcaraz, the eldest son of the family, she knew it was the end for her.
She could not run from Alcaraz; no one could. On November 23rd, Gabriela slit her own throat in the ignorant hope that she would never wake up to her agonizing reality again.
But she did. As Lilia Reznikov, the only daughter of Czar Reznikov, the man who controlled Northern Asia's underground business.
Gabriela must adapt to her new body and life of the aristocracy, but that life is not serene, especially when she finds out that Lilia was murdered before she overtook her body.
And it certainly is not serene when Sergi Alcaraz, the epitome of hell, stands in front of her, alive.
