Gizelle tells the story of two orphaned girls, Gail and Christina. Fast friends through childhood they become separated in their early teens when Christina is adopted by Luigi, a baron and man of ample means who introduces her to a life of wealth and pampering. Left to her own devices, Gail must go through orphanage life until leaving the institution at eighteen at which point she begins to find her place in the world!
It is at this point that Gail meets Dr. Claude Micallef a young and ambitious lawyer who seduces her and she soon finds herself falling head over heels in love. Finally, all seems well with her yet little does she know that Claude is at the head of a criminal underworld built around sex, drugs and corruption. Abducted, Gail is cast into this dour reality where she is submitted to every sort of violence and abuse. Here she meets Sergio, Claudes partner in crime and verily his henchman. Yet Sergio is also Luigis brother and surrogate uncle to Christina. A man devoured by envy for his brother, Sergio rules the underworld with an iron fist.
In the background is the memory of Gizelle, Luigis first wife who died a suicide long years before. Luigi, a man stricken by grief must now contend with a failing second marriage, a headstrong Christina at the first throes with love, and his brothers ferocity in trying to wrest from him the family fortune.
Many were the questions raised in the first chapter; chief among these; why did Gizelle take her own life?
The second chapter in the series, that started this January 2007, will answer this and many other questions as Claude and Sergio attempt to enact their plan of marrying Christina to Sergio thereby destroying Luigi and claiming his inheritance for heir own! And while Christina must contend with Sergios ruthless courtship, Gail must survive the grind of a heartless existence inside the underworld and either find herself or lose her mind.
Steadily the plot brings the girls closer and closer together as the the Gauntlet of their lives towards the final climactic truth.
