It wasn’t supposed to be like this. The last tshe'd seen Alessia, she was just sordinary girl hanging out
with street punks. How did she go from that to living like royalty overnight?

Obsessed, almost frantic, Ileana grabbed a volleyball and flung it at Alessia.
Alessia clenched her jaw, her lips curled in a smile, but her eyes were cold as
