Arisela's life has been a never-ending rollercoaster. She is a beautiful, smart, talented girl; she had dreams that she wanted to fulfill, just like all of us do. But all those were thrown down the drain. From having a rough past and present life too, made it almost impossible for her to build the life she wanted. The life she yearned for. Behind all these facades, she was bullied and abused. People hated her; how perfect she was to the eyes of others. Mockery, lies, and shame were thrown at her. All she wanted was to have friends to protect her, a complete family to love, and a normal life. What happens when she cross paths with the most selfish and conceited bully who makes her life a living hell every day and hates her for no particular reason (or is there?) but... became the person who saved her life?
