Reborn Without a Mother or Brother

Mom gave us two choices.

Go with her to the Sterling household. I could attend the same elite private high school as Miss Jade Sterling, but college funding would be limited.

Stay home for school. After graduating high school, I could apply to overseas universities.

My brother Mason jumped in first:

"Mom, I want to go with you to the Sterlings'."

Mom smiled with relief and turned to look at me.

"Older siblings should let the younger ones have their way. I'll fund your overseas education later---that's me doing my duty as a mother."
