English isn't my native language, so this comes from about four years of learning. It might not be perfect, but I'm doing my best! I aim to update every week or so. Right now, the story is still a work in progress. I'm aware there are mistakes, structural issues, and maybe even a few plot holes, but I plan to fix those as soon as I find the time. I've already started editing a few chapters and will continue writing new ones along the way. Don't forget to vote and share your thoughts in the comments-I'd love to hear your feedback!

Adeline Jade had always been alone. She had no father to call her "princess," no mother to hold her, no grandparents to cherish her, and no siblings to play with. She wandered through a world determined to isolate her, wrapped in a loneliness that filled every empty room and silent night. Loneliness was all she had ever known, her only constant companion. But this was about to change, though she had no idea that her life was going to change. Soon, the universe would disrupt her quiet life. Shadows from a past she didn't know existed were closing in, bringing both new connections and painful truths. Adeline was about to discover a hidden world, one that could either fulfill her deepest desires or bring her great sorrow. I cannot express enough how tired I am of reading the same story about the missing daughter of mafia again and again. Its frustrating. I want something new to read, and if I can't find it, what's better than writing it yourself? I don't want anything that you see in every story ever.
