Yours Truly, Ramona
Life doesn't abide by the rules of a child. Sixteen-year-old Ramona knows this. She's seen it throughout her entire life, from the way she was treated by her birth parents to the way she was thrown around the foster system with nothing but her little brother, Mason, to hold onto. Every bruised cheek and broken bone has slowly shattered Ramona's trust in the system and any foster parent she's ever met. In the end, it's only Mason she can trust. Her life is dedicated to making his better, and focused solely on sheltering him from the pain of feeling as lonely as she is. That is, until Ramona gets news one day that may just uproot everything she's ever believed about her and Mason's situation. Everything is about change for Mason, all because of a man named Owen Parker. He wants to take the only thing that Ramona has ever truly loved. He wants to adopt her brother, and there is nothing she can do to stop him. Though after years of running and years of pain, Ramona knows just how badly Mason needs a home. It's a breath of fresh air for him, a family filled with love, and everything that Mason has never had. But then, what about Ramona? She's brotherless, parentless, and alone in a city that has never cared about her. She has to find a way to cope, and she has to find a way to forgive the man who took her little boy from her. But she can't cope, she can't forgive, and she can only bend so many times before she breaks. - - Warning: This story deals with mature content that may be difficult for some to read, such as self-harm, suicide, drug use, abuse, depression, anxiety, and sexual harassment. - - Highest Ranks: |#1| - adopted |#1| - fosterkid |#1| - fostercare |#1| - foster |#1| - suicideawareness |#1| - recovery |#1| - comingofage |#1| - mentalillness |#1| - strength |#2| - adoption

Scared to Love you (A Soap Opera Situation)
Stella Kiefling thought her life was ordinary enough to survive quietly. A wife trying to hold together a marriage already cracking at the edges, a mother carrying exhaustion behind polite smiles, a woman swallowing disappointment until it settled too deep inside her chest. The days blurred between unpaid emotions, responsibilities, and the kind of loneliness that could still exist beside another person in the same bed. Then everything began shifting all at once. The betrayal she tried not to see. The humiliation that kept returning in different forms. The fragile independence she slowly reached for with trembling hands. One step outside the ruins of her marriage led her into a world far louder than her own, filled with wealth, attention, and people carrying influence powerful enough to overturn her quiet life completely. And somehow, Stella became trapped between three men. One was the husband she thought she knew, yet still lingered inside her heart like an unfinished wound refusing to close. The second came with quiet restraint, offering concern that slowly blurred into something more dangerous. The last entered her life like a storm, overwhelming, intrusive, impossible to ignore no matter how hard she tried to push him away. Each of them carried their own way of reaching for her. Attention. Protection. Possession. Regret. And Stella, already exhausted from surviving her collapsing marriage, found herself dragged deeper into emotions she no longer trusted. Because the more she tried to steady her life, the more everything around her tightened, jealousy, desire, public scrutiny, buried secrets, and the painful question of whether love had ever truly existed in the first place. In the middle of it all, Stella could only keep moving forward, even when every choice seemed capable of ruining her all over again.
