(this story used to be named THE INNOCENT LOST DAUGHTER. it has been rewritten with much more details than the other one)
Catania is a shy and creative young woman whose life has been marked by profound challenges. Taken away from her family at a young age by her own mother, she endured years of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of those meant to protect her.
Catania is a quiet yet perceptive individual, often observing the world around her with a mixture of caution and curiosity. Her piercing eyes reflect a depth of experience beyond her years, hinting at the struggles she has overcome. Art and writing became her sanctuary, allowing her to express the emotions she was unable to voice. Through these outlets, she channels her trauma into something transformative and meaningful, often creating pieces that resonate deeply with others.
But what will happen when Catania is told that her mother had passed away and now has to go and live with a father, she didn't know she had as well as nine brothers who seems to be hiding a secret of their own.
