In life, it’s normal to get on the wrong bus sometimes.
What matters is having the courage to get off and embark on the right journey again.
I booked a flight back home.
I moved into a villa under my name.
That night, I received a friend request from Ava Williams: [I’m Ava Williams.]
She didn’t say anything, just opened her feed

Despite pressure from others, I worked hard to appear perfect, making people overlook my messy family background.
Liam Johnson would also promise me:
