Summary

Anastasia is a beautiful woman, who came from humble beginnings and whose dreams become reality when, thanks to her extravagant personality, gets a well known jewelry company out of bankruptcy which generates her millions of dollars with her work as a model. Anastasia becomes the Borosfky family's good luck charm. However, she meets Aureliano and that whole glamorous world will become her worst nightmare. Once in search for her freedom, Anastasia will meet the dark side of the Borosfky dynasty and will reveal one by one the secrets hidden behind the Cross of Dreams, an accursed jewel, valued to be worth millions of dollars, which belonged to the czarina Catalina II of Russia. Terrorized and anxious to save herself, she will suffer an attack that ends the life of one of her sisters, whose body will disappear along with a large part of the Borosfky inheritance.
