00:00Dad has hated me for 10 years.
00:02On my 6th birthday, mom disappeared.
00:04You are a jinx.
00:05He blamed me for her disappearance.
00:07You don't look like your mother at all.
00:09He hated my face, because it looked nothing like hers.
00:11He adopted a girl who's a dead ringer for mom, Evelyn Voss.
00:15He put her on reality TV, paraded her on late night shows.
00:19She is the sole Sterling Air Air.
00:22Me? I sleep in the maid's quarters.
00:25I wear her hand-me-downs.
00:26He let her bully me.
00:28Let her frame me.
00:30She pushed me into the pool when I couldn't swim.
00:33Serves you right.
00:34For a long time, I believed him.
00:36Until my 16th birthday.
00:38The day mom came home.
00:40Three days before my birthday.
00:42Every year, dad throws Evelyn a huge party on my birthday.
00:45Everyone at my prep school got an invite.
00:48Elena, don't worry.
00:49Maybe the butler miscounted and missed one.
00:51I kept my head down.
00:53Kept writing.
00:54Didn't even blink.
00:56Even apologizing to her.
00:57You're being too nice, Evelyn.
00:59That's why she keeps walking all over.
01:00Seriously, she's the maid's daughter.
01:02Freeloading at your mansion.
01:04Your dad pays for everything and she repays you by stealing?
01:07If I were you, I'd kick her to the curb.
01:09What a jerk.
01:10Such a jealous bitch.
01:12Be glad she's not coming.
01:13She'd just ruin the night.
01:15Oh, come on.
01:16Stop.
01:17Elena shouldn't work.
01:18It's her birthday too, remember?
01:19Elena, I really wanted you to cut the cake with me.
01:22But daddy said no.
01:23After what you did, you can't blame him for hating you.
01:27I hurled my pen straight at her face.
01:29Back off!
01:30Broke jumped up and shoved me to the floor.
01:33My forehead slammed into the corner of a desk.
01:35The whole class just watched, smirking.
01:40From elementary school to high school, Evelyn turned everyone against me.
01:44And they made this into a game for fun.
01:46But I didn't care about being a loner.
01:49I cared about Mr. Collins calling a parent meeting for Monday.
01:53Broke's mom showed up and defended him without hesitation.
01:57Broke was just trying to help.
01:59Everyone saw Elena throw that pen at Evelyn.
02:04Sweetheart, are you okay?
02:06Did she hurt you anywhere?
02:08Her eyes cut back to me.
02:09That girl is unstable.
02:11She doesn't belong here.
02:12Who knows what psycho thing she'll do next?
02:14I stood there, blood dripping down my face.
02:18I thought to myself, if mom were here, she'd rip them apart for me.
02:22Instead, I had dad.
02:24He didn't even glance at my bleeding head.
02:27He just checked Evelyn's perfect face for scratches.
02:33Go home.
02:37You know Evelyn has a TV shoot tomorrow, and you aim for her face?
02:44Elena, Rosalyn was a saint.
02:46How did she give birth to something so vicious?
02:50Sometimes I wonder if you're even hers.
02:52Was ruining your mom not enough?
02:54Now you're coming for Evelyn!
02:56I looked at dad.
02:57His face was twisted with disgust.
02:59But ten years ago, he wasn't like this.
03:03When mom was alive, he adored me.
03:05He poured everything into me.
03:07Though he always wished I looked more like her.
03:09He named me Elena.
03:12I was the treasure of the family.
03:14He bought me custom dresses.
03:17Hand-picked jewelry.
03:18For my fifth birthday, he gave me an estate.
03:22A kid pushed me in kindergarten once.
03:24Dad was furious.
03:26He forced the family to apologize.
03:27Then he hired private coaches to teach me self-defense.
03:31If anyone bullies you, you hit back.
03:33I don't care who it is.
03:34Mom and dad will always have your back, Elena.
03:36Always.
03:36And now, the man was holding his Evelyn, like I was nothing to him.
03:48Get back to your room!
03:50Don't come out until I say so!
03:52He never asked about the wound on my forehead.
03:55And I never found the courage to tell him to see Mr. Collins.
03:59He wouldn't show up for me anyway.
04:02For the last ten years, he's only sat in the parents' row for Evelyn.
04:07They locked me in my room all night.
04:09By morning, the cut on my forehead was infected.
04:14I sneak out for the first aid kit.
04:16I pushed open the door and walked straight into a literal film crew.
04:21Cameras, boom mics, blinding ring lights.
04:24They had taken over our living room.
04:26Dad was sitting on the sofa with Evelyn.
04:28He wore a warm, loving smile.
04:30A smile I hadn't seen in ten years.
04:32As a billionaire CEO, how do you balance work and raising such a perfect daughter?
04:36Evelyn makes it easy.
04:37She's my only girl.
04:39I'll always make time for her.
04:42Daddy is the absolute best.
04:46But we haven't been to Europe yet this year.
04:50Anything you want, princess.
04:52Paris it is, right after your birthday.
04:54My mind went blank.
04:55I'd seen this act too many times to cry.
04:58Still, I couldn't stop myself.
05:00From thinking about ten years ago.
05:02I used to cling to Mom's arm just like that.
05:05She gave me her favorite antique emerald necklace.
05:10Keep it safe, Elena.
05:12Grandma gave this to me.
05:15Her eyes had looked so sad back then.
05:17Evelyn, Rosalind was a Hollywood legend.
05:21Is your late mother the reason you want to go into acting?
05:24The room went still.
05:26Mom's name used to be taboo.
05:28Anyone who brought her up usually got fired.
05:30But today was Evelyn's big reality TV debut.
05:33Dad was paving her way to stardom.
05:36Evelyn lowered her eyes, looking heartbreakingly sincere.
05:40I miss my mom all the time.
05:42I want to act to feel closer to her legacy.
05:46Then, she took something out of her pocket.
05:48This was the necklace she left me.
05:50Whenever I'm sad, I look at it.
05:53And it feels like she's still with me.
05:55I stared at it.
05:56Anger rose in me.
05:57That was my necklace.
05:59Mom gave it to me.
06:00For ten years, Evelyn stole my entire life.
06:04My room.
06:04My clothes.
06:05My birthday.
06:06Dad.
06:07But that necklace was the only thing I had left.
06:09I lunged forward and snatched it from her hand.
06:13Elena!
06:14Who the hell let you out?
06:15Elena!
06:16What are you doing?
06:17When did you steal that necklace?
06:20I checked my jewelry box every single night.
06:23It was there yesterday.
06:25All these years, no one cared whether I lived or died.
06:29The necklace was the only thing that kept me going.
06:32When I held it, I could feel Mom hugging me.
06:36Proof that I was loved once.
06:38Steel?
06:39What are you talking about?
06:41Elena, have you lost your mind?
06:42We're live streaming.
06:43Go to hell with your live streaming.
06:47That's my mother's necklace.
06:48Why does she get to take it?
06:50And my mother isn't dead.
06:52Shut your mouth, Evelyn.
06:53She didn't leave that behind.
06:55Mr. Sterling.
06:56Who is this girl?
06:58Evelyn panicked, looking at Dad for a save.
07:02She's just a maid's daughter.
07:04I held the necklace in my hand.
07:06A freezing chill ran down my spine.
07:09The first time he disowned me to the entire world,
07:12Evelyn's panic disappeared.
07:14A smug gleam flashed in her eyes.
07:16She reached out to grab the necklace back.
07:18If you want jewelry, I'll buy you a diamond.
07:21Whatever you want.
07:21But this is my mom's.
07:23I can't give it to you.
07:25Give it back!
07:26That's the last thing my mom gave me!
07:28Give it back!
07:28I yanked the chain.
07:30Evelyn let go.
07:31She let go on purpose.
07:35The necklace hit the marble floor.
07:37The green emerald shattered into jagged pieces.
07:40I stumbled back.
07:41My mind went entirely blank.
07:43The very last piece of my mom.
07:45Gone.
07:47Are you satisfied now, you psycho?
07:49Get out!
07:50Elena!
07:51How could you?
07:52I didn't hear a word of it.
07:54I dropped to my knees on the cold marble.
07:57I scrambled to pick up the broken green shards.
08:00The pieces cut into my fingers.
08:03My tears hit the wounds.
08:05Hot and stinging.
08:09I went viral.
08:11The bad kind.
08:12The livestream clip blew up overnight.
08:15Everyone pitied Sebastian and Evelyn.
08:18I was public enemy number one.
08:21Classmates flooded the comments,
08:23playing the insider sources.
08:24They spun a shiny new narrative.
08:26I was just a troubled foster kid.
08:29The Sterlings took me in out of pity.
08:31And I had bullied Evelyn for years.
08:34I stopped reading there.
08:38Rosaline was my mother.
08:39If mom were still here,
08:41would she feel sorry for me?
08:43Or would she stand with Evelyn just like dad did?
08:45I don't look a single thing like her.
08:48Evelyn is her spitting image.
08:51And I was the reason mom went missing in the first place.
08:54It was Evelyn's birthday party.
08:57The whole class was there.
08:59They came to my door,
09:01mocking me from the hallway,
09:03calling me a freak to defend Evelyn.
09:06I was locked inside,
09:08on dad's orders.
09:09He stood outside the door.
09:11Elena, how could you do this to your mother?
09:13That necklace was her prized possession.
09:15Do you know how hard Evelyn worked for that TV spot?
09:17If Rose Ockens saw the monster you've become,
09:20she'd regret ever having you.
09:22His footsteps faded down the hall.
09:26Then, the lock clicked.
09:28Evelyn strode in, holding a spare key.
09:31So, Elena, how did it feel?
09:34Being called the maid's trash on live TV?
09:37She circled me like a vulture.
09:39You've got zero shame staying here.
09:42You killed your mom.
09:44Dad hates you.
09:45He wishes you were dead.
09:47He just won't say it out loud.
09:49I didn't answer.
09:50I just stared out the window.
09:52The estates' lake was lined with party tents,
09:54balloons, champagne towers,
09:56a take,
09:57mountains of designer gift boxes.
09:59It was the birthday party of my dreams.
10:01The party I was promised ten years ago.
10:03Every single year,
10:04I watched her live my life.
10:06Someone called for Evelyn to cut the cake.
10:08My silence pissed her off.
10:10Elena!
10:10I'm talking to you!
10:13Why didn't you die with your mother?
10:15She snatched the broken emerald pieces from my hand
10:17and threw them out the window,
10:19down into the deep, dark lake.
10:21My brain completely short-certed.
10:23I didn't even think.
10:24I climbed onto the windowsill,
10:25and I jumped.
10:26Gasps and screams echoed from the party below.
10:29Freezing water flooded my lungs.
10:30Everything went dark.
10:31But right before I lost consciousness,
10:33I swear I heard a voice.
10:35Elena, mommy's right here!
10:38I thought I was dead.
10:40Then, I opened my eyes
10:42and saw the one face I'd missed for ten years.
10:46Mom.
10:47She looked almost exactly the same.
10:50Mom?
10:51I was terrified she would vanish if I blinked.
10:54I'm right here, baby.
10:56Tell me, did someone push you?
10:57Before I could answer.
10:59Mom!
11:00Mom! It was just an accident!
11:02We were just playing!
11:03And she fell!
11:04That's when I realized the room was full.
11:07Evelyn, the estate doctor, and...
11:09Dad.
11:10Dad was staring at Mom.
11:12Who the hell are you?
11:14I only have one daughter.
11:15Evelyn's fake smile dropped.
11:17She looked at Dad in a panic.
11:20My mother followed her gaze.
11:22Sebastian?
11:24You'd better explain.
11:27Is this your secret daughter?
11:29Darling, no!
11:30I swear!
11:31Evelyn is adopted!
11:33Adopted?
11:34Mom let out a bitter, cutting laugh.
11:36She looked at Evelyn's new-moo dress.
11:38Then my dusty room.
11:40You treat a stranger's kid better than your own flesh and blood?
11:44I've been gone ten years, Sebastian.
11:47And you shoved my daughter in a broom closet?
11:50And the luxury party outside?
11:52Today is Elena's birthday!
11:57Why is her name on the banners?
11:59Rosalind, please!
12:00I'll fix it right now!
12:03Pack Elena's things.
12:05Move her back to the master quad.
12:07What about Miss Evelyn's things?
12:09Throw them in a guest room!
12:11I don't care!
12:12Daddy!
12:13Evelyn burst into real, ugly tears.
12:15Rosalind, is this okay?
12:20Mom looked down at me, waiting for my lead.
12:23That was when I knew.
12:25Mom really come back.
12:26Mom, I choked out.
12:28I don't want to stay here.
12:30Can you take me with you?
12:32I will.
12:33As soon as you feel better, we're gone.
12:40I used to dream about this moment.
12:43Always.
12:44When Sebastian blamed me without even hearing my side.
12:47But as the years dragged on, I stopped hoping.
12:51I thought I drove Mom away when I was six.
12:53I thought she hated me too.
12:55But now, she was really here.
12:57Squeeze into my tiny, lumpy twin bed.
13:00Holding me tight.
13:01Apologing over and over.
13:03Ten years ago, I didn't leave you by choice.
13:06She was taken far away and trapped for years.
13:09Fought like hell to come back to you.
13:12Everyone thought she was gone for good.
13:15But I never gave up on coming home.
13:17And to make it back to me, she paid a terrible price.
13:25Mom, you're not leaving me again, right?
13:31She held me tighter.
13:33No.
13:34I am never letting you go, Elena.
13:37Out in the hallway, the floor bones gave a heavy creak.
13:40Dad was standing right outside the door, listening in the dark.
13:43Mom shot a dark, warning look at the door frame.
13:46Then she stroked my hair.
13:49Go to sleep, baby.
13:50When you wake up, Mom will still be right here.
13:52My mother heard what my classmates did to me.
13:55The next morning, she came to school with me.
13:59For years, I had taken the bus alone.
14:02The family driver was only for Evelyn.
14:05But this morning was different.
14:07A sleek black SUV blocked our path down the driveway.
14:12Rosalyn, let me drive you in Elena.
14:16Evelyn stood in the doorway, her face stiff with jealousy.
14:20Her things had already been moved out.
14:23Everyone in the house knew that she was losing her place.
14:27No thanks.
14:29Are you sure the maid's trash is allowed in your pristine car?
14:32I'm sorry, Rosalyn.
14:34I can explain the live stream.
14:36Elena stormed in and caused a scene.
14:38I was just blind with rage.
14:40I didn't mean to...
14:41Caused a scene.
14:42Her heirloom was stolen.
14:44She was just taking it back.
14:46I mean, can you really blame her?
14:48Sebastian!
14:48That was my mother's necklace!
14:50You knew exactly what it was!
14:54Her eyes grew red with furious tears,
14:57remembering the viral comments.
15:02Dad hurried out of the car.
15:05I was a total bastard.
15:07I'll make it up to Elena, I swear.
15:09Make it up to her?
15:11You're a complete stranger to her.
15:13We don't need your pity.
15:15Come on, Elena.
15:16Mom grabbed my hand.
15:18We walked right past him.
15:20We got into the car.
15:24Dad's SUV trailed slowly behind us,
15:27all the way to school.
15:29Thanks to Evelyn's smear campaigns,
15:31I was the absolute outcast at school.
15:37Elena, no parents again?
15:39I warned you last time.
15:41If your parents don't show up today,
15:43I'm drawing up your expulsion papers.
15:46I am Elena's mother,
15:47and I want the little punk
15:49who pushed my daughter
15:50brought in here right now.
15:51He is going to apologize.
15:54In ten years,
15:55I had never had a parent showed up.
15:57No parent-teacher nights,
15:59no school plays,
16:00nothing.
16:02Oh, my God!
16:03You're Rosalind Vale!
16:05I grew up watching your movies!
16:10But wait,
16:11aren't you married to Sebastian Sterling?
16:14Isn't his only daughter Evelyn?
16:18Sebastian Sterling is insane.
16:22He treats a stranger's kid like pure gold
16:26and throws his own flesh and blood
16:30to the wolves!
16:34I'm not sorry.
16:34I was being a good guy.
16:36She threw a pen at Evelyn first.
16:40I'm sorry, ma'am.
16:41If anyone's to blame,
16:43blame me.
16:44He was just standing up for me.
16:46So really,
16:47it's all my fault.
16:49Don't try that act on me.
16:50I'm not Sebastian.
16:52You think I'd throw my own daughter
16:53under the bus for you?
16:55I knew you didn't like me, ma'am.
16:57But you don't have to call me an actor?
16:59I know exactly what you are.
17:01You stole her birthday celebration.
17:03You hijacked her life.
17:04You told the whole school
17:06she was the maid's trash.
17:08I know exactly what you whispered to her
17:10that day by the lake.
17:12I didn't say it.
17:14Dad did.
17:15He said Alina was the maid's...
17:18Shut your mouth, Evelyn!
17:20Shut your penitent!
17:25One more word
17:26and you'll get out!
17:31Sorry, Alina.
17:32They practically shoved
17:33his face into the floor.
17:35We are so sorry, Alina.
17:37He will never bother you again.
17:40What is wrong
17:41with Sebastian Sturrett?
17:42Spoiling a random orphan
17:43treating his actual kid like garbage.
17:45No wonder the poor girl
17:46has no friends.
17:48Dad heard every single word.
17:50His shoulders completely froze.
17:53Alina.
17:56Who else bullied you?
17:57Tell Daddy.
17:58You know exactly
17:59who's been torturing her.
18:02The internet is still
18:03tearing her apart
18:03because of that live stream.
18:05Are you playing blind, Sebastian?
18:07You're done for the day.
18:08We are going home.
18:08We are turning on the camera.
18:10You are going to clear
18:11Alina's name.
18:12Live.
18:13What?
18:13No!
18:14Dad, my influencer deals!
18:16My agency will drop me!
18:17Do it!
18:18Or get out!
18:21The live stream officially started.
18:24Because mom was on camera,
18:26viewership absolutely exploded.
18:32She took my hand
18:34and drew me closer to her side.
18:36Hello, everyone.
18:37I'm back.
18:38And allow me to introduce you
18:40to my daughter.
18:42My actual biological daughter,
18:45Alina Sterling.
18:49Sebastian,
18:50care to explain?
18:51He paused for a second.
18:54Then, he finally caved.
18:57Rosalyn is right.
18:59Alina is our real daughter.
19:01Evelyn is adopted.
19:03I got her from a group home
19:05ten years ago.
19:06The other day,
19:07Alina stole Alina's necklace.
19:09It was a priceless family heirloom
19:11from my wife.
19:13Alina barged in
19:14because she was defending her property.
19:16I jumped to conclusions.
19:17I was wrong.
19:19I was wrong.
19:26I have been a terrible father.
19:30I blamed Alina
19:31for Rosalyn being gone.
19:33I took that pain
19:35out of my own daughter.
19:36And I never should have
19:38brought Evelyn into our home
19:39when Alina needed me most.
19:41So, as of today,
19:43I am legally severing ties
19:44with Evelyn.
19:52Dad!
19:53The next day,
19:55Dot Evelyn was kicked out
19:56of my home.
19:57She cried the whole way out,
19:59dragging her suitcase,
20:00still hoping Dad
20:01would change his mind.
20:03He didn't even look at her.
20:08Dad thought Mom and I
20:09would forgive him.
20:10But I was completely done.
20:12And so was Mom.
20:13We packed our bags
20:15and walked right out
20:16of the mansion.
20:17All we left behind
20:18were signed divorce papers
20:20on his desk.
20:22Our new place
20:23wasn't like that mansion,
20:25but it felt like
20:26a real, warm home.
20:28Mom decorated
20:29my bedroom perfectly.
20:30Soft blankets,
20:32bright lighting.
20:33When I opened the closet,
20:34it was full of new clothes.
20:36In the latest styles,
20:38I never told her
20:39the dark details
20:40of the last ten years.
20:41And she never asked.
20:43But Mom just knew.
20:45She could see
20:46every invisible spar.
20:48Evelyn and Dad
20:49left on me.
20:50The day we moved in,
20:52she pulled me
20:52into her arms.
20:53Elena,
20:54I will never let
20:55anyone hurt you again.
20:57I rested my head
20:58on her shoulder.
20:59For the first time
21:00in my life,
21:01I felt safe.
21:03I know, Mom.
21:06Evelyn's friends
21:06at school bullied her.
21:08Give the girl an Oscar.
21:09Faking it as a billionaire
21:10heiress for ten years?
21:11You stole her mom's necklace.
21:12You literally hijacked
21:13her entire life.
21:15I want my Cartier bracelet back.
21:17It was twenty grand.
21:18She probably pawned it.
21:19How else is a broke
21:19orphan paying tuition?
21:22Didn't you claim
21:23Sebastian was paying
21:24for Elena's charity fund?
21:27You are totally sick.
21:34Back off!
21:36You're crossing a line!
21:38She looked desperately
21:38at Brock across the room.
21:40Please.
21:40She wanted him
21:41to play the hero again.
21:42Brock completely
21:43avoided her eyes.
21:44Crossing a line?
21:45That's cute
21:46coming from you.
21:46You treated us
21:47like garbage for years
21:48based on a lie.
21:49Now you want us
21:49to play nice?
21:50We're mean.
21:51So what?
21:52Then a half-empty
21:53yogurt flew at her.
21:57They all burst out laughing.
22:04I stood by my desk
22:05completely numb.
22:07I didn't even look
22:08at the mess
22:09in the center of the room.
22:11I just quietly packed
22:12the last of my textbooks.
22:14I knew exactly
22:15what these kids were doing.
22:16They were torturing Evelyn
22:18just to kiss my ass.
22:19But I didn't care anymore.
22:24She had already signed
22:26my transfer papers.
22:27She was waiting
22:27for me outside.
22:29No goodbye.
22:30No glance back.
22:33I walked out
22:34of the classroom.
22:35The divorce
22:36dragged on for months.
22:38Dad fought it
22:39tooth and nail.
22:40He begged
22:40for Mom's forgiveness
22:41every single day.
22:43And when none of it worked,
22:45he even hurt himself
22:46just to make her stay.
22:50I thought about it
22:51for a long time.
22:52Finally,
22:52I told Mom
22:53to drop the divorce.
22:53The last ten years
22:54were between me and him.
22:55You two still love each other.
22:57I'll be leaving
22:57for college soon anyway.
22:59I knew she still loved him.
23:00When she first came back,
23:01she said he was
23:02half her world.
23:03I couldn't stand
23:03seeing her so miserable.
23:07Elena,
23:08you never used
23:08to be like this.
23:10You used to be
23:11so loud,
23:12so demanding.
23:13You owned the room.
23:15If you didn't get your way,
23:16you threw a fit.
23:17Now you just walk
23:18on eggshells.
23:20You shrink yourself
23:21just to keep the peace.
23:22What did he do to you?
23:26What did he turn
23:27my daughter into?
23:32How could I ever
23:33forgive him for that?
23:37On your birthday,
23:39were you really just
23:40diving for that necklace?
23:41Or did you want
23:42to stay under?
23:43If I hadn't come back
23:44in time,
23:45when I saw the dead
23:46look in your eyes
23:47at the hospital,
23:48it terrified me.
23:50Outside the door,
23:51a shadow paused.
23:53It was dad.
23:54Then he quietly
23:56walked away.
23:58New school,
24:00new life.
24:01Classmates were
24:02nice to me.
24:03No plastics,
24:04no toxic gossip.
24:06I actually
24:07made real friends.
24:08They saw my family's
24:10viral drama
24:10all over TikTok.
24:12They knew exactly
24:13who I was,
24:14but they totally
24:15respected my boundaries.
24:17They never pushed
24:18for the traumatizing
24:19details.
24:21It used to be
24:21dead average.
24:22When I spent
24:2310 years terrified
24:24in my own house,
24:25grades didn't matter.
24:27Mom didn't care
24:28about my GPA.
24:29She just wanted me
24:30to finally breathe.
24:32But I wanted
24:33to get to Harvard.
24:36That's when she
24:37went all in.
24:38So,
24:39Mom pulled some strings
24:40and hired elite
24:41private tutors.
24:42I worked hard
24:43every single night
24:44by finals.
24:44I pulled straight A's.
24:47Mom was over
24:48the moon.
24:50She cooked
24:51my favorite dishes.
24:53She bought
24:53a big cake.
24:56She snapped
24:57a picture of my
24:58report card
24:59for Instagram.
25:01Second later,
25:02a notification
25:03popped up.
25:04My dad's
25:05official corporate
25:06account liked
25:07the post.
25:11The college
25:12decisions dropped.
25:14I stared at the
25:15laptop screen
25:16and broke down.
25:17I got accepted
25:18into my dream
25:19university.
25:20Two years ago,
25:21I was the girl
25:22everyone ignored.
25:24I was a bullied
25:25outcast,
25:26rotting in a
25:27literal maid's room.
25:28No idea what
25:29tomorrow looked like.
25:31Now,
25:32I had a real home.
25:34A mom who loved me,
25:35and I actually
25:36had a future.
25:38As always.
25:40Mom posted
25:41my acceptance
25:42letter online.
25:43Her millions
25:44of followers
25:44flooded the
25:45comments with
25:45love.
25:49But the very
25:50next morning,
25:51it was the
25:53police.
25:54Sebastian
25:55Sterling was
25:55dead.
25:56Dad left
25:57everything to
25:58me.
25:58Company shares,
26:00property,
26:01cash.
26:01Then he
26:02took his
26:03own life.
26:04He left
26:04exactly two
26:05letters.
26:06One for mom,
26:07one for me.
26:08I opened
26:09mine.
26:10Just two
26:11words.
26:13I'm sorry.
26:14The paper
26:15was warped,
26:17streaked
26:17with blood,
26:18and blurried
26:19by tears.
26:20I looked at
26:20it for a
26:21long time.
26:22No relief.
26:24No anger.
26:27Maybe,
26:31maybe we
26:32were never
26:32meant to be
26:33father and
26:33daughter.
26:37Evelyn showed
26:38up at dad's
26:38funeral.
26:39Two years
26:40had hollowed
26:40her out.
26:41Hair tangled,
26:42unwashed.
26:43Eyes red,
26:44swollen.
26:45Gone was the
26:46girl who
26:46played heiress.
26:48Are you
26:48happy now,
26:49Elena?
26:49He's dead!
26:50Look at me!
26:51Are you
26:51thrilled?
26:52When dad
26:53kicked her
26:54out, he
26:54gave her a
26:55massive payout.
26:57enough to
26:58cover a
26:58full college
26:59ride.
27:00She blew
27:01the entire
27:02bag in a
27:02month.
27:04I heard
27:05rumors she
27:06dropped out
27:06entirely.
27:07Now she
27:08danced for
27:08nickels on
27:09Twitch streams.
27:10People
27:11constantly
27:11trolled her
27:12live feeds
27:12about the
27:13scandal.
27:14She just
27:15screamed at
27:15the chat
27:15for tips.
27:17Yeah, I
27:18am.
27:19Honestly,
27:21I hope you
27:21hit rock

27:27were here,
27:28he'd

27:31this.
27:32You still
27:32think he

27:34He

27:34He

27:36He

27:48She
27:48went still.
27:48For once,
27:49she had
27:54I kept
27:55going.
27:59Up
27:59ahead,
28:00mom was

28:02never
28:02looking back
