PROLOGUE
TODAY
Since I was a child I thought everything was simple: love, friendship, work...just, no complications.
Then, growing up, I discovered that all these things are simple, but for those that had the chance to be born in the right family, and in the right time and place.
I have learned, often on my back, that the trick is always around the corner and that the world is not done for little girls with little cunning but high self-esteem.
Over time, I saw my family for what was in the others' eyes, I saw myself in the mirror and I thought I could have been condemned forever this way: a face full of empty expressions.
Our aspect changes over time, also our character, in theory, should change too, but there are things that don't leave your skin, or at least this is what they made me think of.
I really wanted success, fame, money, and when you really want something, you can't reveal how you really are to others, it could become a double-edged weapon.
I longed for the life of the stars on the screen... I didn't expect to live in a nightmare instead.
I've done so many mistakes, and I don't know if there is redemption, you decide. I am Jessica Larsen and, even though they say this way, "I am not naughty, they draw me like that".
