Destiny's Child

Prologue

V tipped the courier and looked at the package in her hands. She had received four other packages in so many weeks, and wasn't sure she wanted to open this one. Not that anything she had gotten was bad, just that there was never a note or a card letting her know who was sending her all of these beautiful things.

When the diamond bracelet had arrived a month ago, she had thought it might have been from Jax. He had been out of town, and they hadn't seen each other much lately. She called and set up a lunch date to thank him for her gift, but when she got there, he didn't say a word about the bracelet, and she didn't want to draw attention to it if it hadn't of been from him.

A week later, the pearl necklace with matching earrings had arrived, and the next week a jewel encrusted silver frame with a picture of a woman she had never seen. The woman looked familiar, but no matter how much she racked her brain, she couldn't put a name to the face. The next package left her completely baffled about what was going on.

The diamond tiara was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen in her life, let alone owned. She couldn't imagine who would think to send her something like that. She'd called Jerry, to see if he knew if this was some kind of joke Jax was playing, but he was as clueless as she was. He agreed that it wasn't Jax's style to buy a woman gifts and then play dumb about them.

Now, there was another box, and she opened it cautiously. She found a medallion, on a gold chain. She had seen it, or one like it before, but had never been so close to one. She turned it over, and saw her initials on the back. There was also a note in the box, something different from the rest of the packages.

Venus-

This will allow you to take your proper place amongst your family, your real family. Use it wisely dear girl. You know what to do.

It was unsigned, something that wasn't much of a surprise to her. The note didn't clear anything up, just confused her more
