Given another chance, Evie Cortez, the youngest and only daughter among the Cortez siblings, vowed to change her fate. She had three older brothers: Callum, Kain, and Ian. Callum, the eldest, took over as CEO of Cortez Enterprises after their parents' passing. Kain, the second child, excelled in the entertainment industry as an actor, director, writer, and producer. Ian, the youngest of the three brothers, carved out a successful career as a top-tier lawyer, heading his firm.

While Evie enjoyed a close bond with Callum and Kain, her relationship with Ian was strained. He harbored resentment, blaming her for their mother's demise, and his treatment of her was nothing short of cruel. This dynamic persisted from her previous life into her current one.

In her previous life, Evie had shielded her brothers from harm, but in doing so, she became vulnerable herself. Her physical limitations made her an easy target, exacerbated by the relentless bullying and exploitation inflicted by Ian's girlfriend and her cohorts, leading to her premature death at twenty-nine.

With this second chance at life, Evie resolved to seize control of her destiny and ensure the well-being of her family while maintaining a discreet presence. As she navigated through myriad trials, challenges, and adversaries, she and her brothers emerged as formidable forces, albeit separated for a time before reuniting. Despite the passage of years, they remained fundamentally the same yet different, united in their strength and resilience, ready to confront any obstacle in their path.

43 parts Complete Mature
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
