It's kind of in the title but I'll give the main character her juicy back story I guess:
Liliana Petrou, originally Liliana Gabriel before she got adopted was living in an orphanage. She never did what she was told and she never followed the rules. Her parents died when she was little and she had no other family, this led to her having to keep a rather tough act that she hardly ever broke for anyone, you were lucky if you ever heard any emotion in her voice at all. Liliana never had that many friends people were either scared or jealous of her. Will she ket her tough barriers down for a handsome boy and her new family, or would she keep the facade. Liliana was a Quite a nice kid but will she like her new home, or will she act out like she did at the orphanage, who knows, read to find out! <3
Hope you enjoy the story. (I also try an update as much as I can and as regularly as possible but sometimes I will get held back).
