Fortuna was the goddess of luck. She became Livia, an orphan girl, and signed a five-year marriage contract with Adrian Blackwood, heir to a family cursed by misfortune. For five years, she used her divine power in secret. Every failed deal was saved. Every crisis was averted. Adrian believed it was his own genius. He treated Livia with cold contempt. She fell in love with him anyway. She planned to give up her divinity and stay with him as a mortal. Then Adrian returned from a trip with his pregnant secretary Isabella. He let Isabella humiliate Livia. He took Isabella's side. Livia saw them together. She heard him call her a nobody. At a family banquet, Isabella framed her for theft. Adrian and the family demanded she kneel and apologize. Livia signed the divorce. She took off her ring. She warned them. The moment she walked away, the lights went out. The accounts froze. The stocks crashed. The Blackwood luck was gone. Julian Ashford saved her. She returned as "Fortune." The powerful searched for her. Adrian fell. He begged. She revealed the truth in public. She took back every blessing. He learned too late that his success had never been his. She forgave him but never returned. She sealed the curse, saved the city, and dissolved into silver light. Three years later, a familiar figure walked back through the golden dawn.
