07:14Anna was bullied her whole life her mother left after she was born Fred remarried had a new
07:25family left her behind but Anna was always treated as a burden never truly part of the family
07:30and there was an incident a serious one with her step-brother Eric he claimed that she tried to
07:38seduce him and when he rejected her she harmed him out of jealousy
07:43what did Anna say she accused him of assaults said he tried to touch her but no one would believe her
07:50not your family not school not even her father Fred
07:56Fred knew and he did nothing
08:02and she delivered the same roof as that bastard
08:04the family claimed she was unstable delusional Anna was completely alone
08:10unblastful
08:14her own father let this happen

08:49I'm so used to people like you
08:55curious and then disgusted
08:57men who think they're doing me a favor by asking questions they don't want to know the answers to
09:02I'm not like them
09:04then let go of me
09:06look I've made choices that I'm not proud of
09:11I've built an empire with blood on my hands
09:14I've made deals that I would sooner forget
09:16but I know that there is a line between what is right and what is wrong
