After losing her mother at three, Ellie was raised solely by her father until he remarried Janice, who came with two sons. Initially kind, Janice changed after Ellie’s father passed away, taking over the household and favoring her own children. She sold family heirlooms, dismissed Ellie’s needs, and used her father’s inheritance to benefit her sons.
For two years, Ellie lived under Janice’s control until her Aunt Jody revealed the truth: Ellie’s father had left everything to her. Janice had hidden this to maintain control. Urged by her aunt to act quickly, Ellie packed her belongings and left a note for Janice, reclaiming her inheritance and declaring her independence.
Now, Ellie awaits the next chapter of her life, determined to honor her father’s wishes and build a future free from Janice’s manipulation.
