Astella Bergman was a talented woman who was wove into the fabric of Art both nationally and internationally. Everyone she had ever met seemed to admire her and her ability to bring people together. Her position as an event planner, auditor and appraiser of art was matched by no one. One night after a fundraiser she was approached by a man, who would change her life. He became obsessed with her and rained down flowers on her daily. She was not impressed with him and his overbearing demeanor. Her last night in Maine, he forced her dance with him and twisted her wrist so hard that it sprained it. The next day she went to her superior. He did not help her because the man in question had just gifted 3 million dollars to their museum. Astella resigned and took a position in Paris where her good friend John Pierre was excited to have her join his staff.
