Resensi Novel Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck

Ich bin Isa Rossi, die Tochter des ersten Dons von Sizilien. Schon von klein auf war ich rebellisch. Mein Vater fürchtete, ich könnte aus einer Laune heraus irgendeinen zwielichtigen Kerl heiraten, also erließ er kurzerhand einen Befehl: Ich sollte mich mit Luca Marino verloben, dem Erben der neu aufstrebenden Familie Marino. Auch wenn es sich um eine politische Ehe handelte, wollte ich mir zumindest selbst den Ring aussuchen, den ich tragen würde. So nahm ich an einer Auktion der Mafiafamilien teil. Als der letzte, kostbarste Edelsteinring präsentiert wurde, hob ich mein Bieterschild. Doch noch bevor der Auktionshammer fiel, erklang hinter mir eine arrogante Frauenstimme: „Du, so ein Provinzmädchen, wagst es, gegen mich zu bieten? Zwei Millionen! Sei klug und verzieh dich!“ Für ein paar Sekunden herrschte völlige Stille im Saal, nur das leise Klicken der Kameraverschlüsse war zu hören. Ich drehte mich um und sah eine Frau in einem goldenen Haute-Couture-Kleid. Ein nachlässiges Lächeln lag auf ihren Lippen, als gehörte ihr der ganze Saal. Noch bevor ich etwas sagen konnte, ließ der Auktionator hastig den Hammer fallen. „Zugeschlagen! Herzlichen Glückwunsch an Frau Sofia zum Erwerb des Spitzenstücks, des Rings ‚Ewiger Stern‘!“ Meine Stirn zog sich leicht zusammen, Ärger flammte in mir auf. „Der Hammer fällt, bevor die Auktion beendet ist? In diesem Auktionssaal gelten wohl keine Regeln.“ Sofia drehte sich zu mir um. Ihr Blick war scharf wie eine Klinge, während sie mich Zentimeter für Zentimeter von den Schuhen bis zum Kopf musterte. „Regeln?“ Sie lachte kalt. „Meine Liebe, ich bin Sofia, die verwöhnte Godsister von Luca, dem Erben der Familie Marino. Hier bestimme ich die Regeln!“ Ich konnte mir ein Lachen nicht verkneifen. Was für ein Zufall. Luca war der Name meines Verlobten. Ich zog sofort mein Handy hervor und wählte seine Nummer. „Luca, deine ‚Godsister‘ hat mir gerade den Verlobungsring weggeschnappt, den ich haben wollte. Was machst du dagegen?“
