"Well, there is one thing you were right about. I really never know when to stop, and that's probably gonna get me killed. But not today."
Liliana Angioli-Donovan is the daughter of Zane and Alessandra. When she was conceived, her parents were both still teenagers, and they didn't even know each other particularly well. Alessia only knew that Zane was known for causing even more trouble than she did, which wasn't an easy accomplishment. She decided to distance herself from her boyfriend, leaving him in the dark about the pregnancy.
Alongside her parents, Alessandra came up with a plan. Rodrigo and Dinah would raise the baby as their own, so the girl could be a part of her daughter's life without carrying the full responsibilities of a mother.
The family moved to Canada, where Liliana was born. Alessia took care of her for a while, letting the neighbors believe that she was just an overbearing older sister, until she eventually went to college. Since Eleonora already lived in England at the time, Lily was left with Dinah, Rodrigo and Giordano during her childhood. She called her grandparents "Mom" and "Dad", and she grew very fond of her so-called "brother".
Maybe the facade would've remained in place forever, if it wasn't for Liliana's natural curiosity and hunger for knowledge. In July 2013, she found out that her entire family had been lying to her since she was born, which permanently damaged her trust in them. She soon began searching for her biological father, after hearing that he never knew about her existence.
When she met Zane for the first time, she was 14 years old. After a few months, he invited her to live with him and his wife, and she accepted. At the time, she felt like he might be the only relative she could trust.
