Short filmTranscript
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 you.
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 just ruined 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.
01:39From 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 things 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.
03:02When 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.
03:25He forced the family to apologize.
03:27Then he hired private coaches to teach me self-defense.
03:30If anyone bullies you, you hit back.
03:32I don't care who it is.
03:34Mom and dad will always have your back, Elena.
03:35Always.
03:36And now, the man was holding his Evelyn, like I was nothing to him.
03:48Get back to your room!
03:49Don't come out until I say so!
03:51He never asked about the wound on my forehead.
03:54And 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.
04:06They locked me in my room all night.
04:09By morning, the cut on my forehead was infected.
04:13I 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.
04:38I'll always make time for her.
04:42Daddy is the absolute best.
04:46But we haven't been to Europe yet this year.
04:49Anything you want, princess.
04:51Paris 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.
05:11Grandma gave this to me.
05:14Her 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.
05:39I miss my mom all the time.
05:42I want to act, to feel closer to her legacy.
05:45Then, she took something out of her pocket.
05:48This was the necklace she left me.
05:50Whenever I'm sad, I look at it, and 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.
06:03My room, my clothes, my birthday, dad.
06:07But that necklace was the only thing I had left.
06:09I lunged forward and snatched it from her hand.
06:12Elena!
06:13Who the hell let you out?
06:15Elena, what 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.
06:26No 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.
06:35Proof that I was loved once.
06:38Steel?
06:39What are you talking about?
06:40Elena, have you lost your mind?
06:42We're live streaming.
06:43Go to hell with your live streaming.
06:46That's my mother's necklace.
06:48Why does she get to take it?
06:50And my mother isn't dead.
06:51Shut your mouth, Evelyn.
06:53She didn't leave that behind.
06:54Mr. Sterling, who is this girl?
06:58Evelyn panicked, looking at Dad for a save.
07:01She'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.
07:20Whatever you want.
07:21But this is my mom's.
07:23I can't give it to you.
07:24Give it back!
07:25That's the last thing my mom gave me!
07:27Give it back!
07:28I yanked the chain.
07:30Evelyn let go.
07:31She let go on purpose.
07:34The necklace hit the marble floor.
07:37The green emerald shattered into jagged pieces.
07:39I stumbled back.
07:41My mind went entirely blank.
07:43The very last piece of my mom.
07:45Gone.
07:46Are you satisfied now, you psycho?
07:48Get out!
07:50Elena!
07:50How could you?
07:51I didn't hear a word of it.
07:54I dropped to my knees on the cold marble.
07:56I scrambled to pick up the broken green shards.
08:00The pieces cut into my fingers.
08:02My tears hit the wounds.
08:05Hot and stinging.
08:09I went viral.
08:10The bad kind.
08:12The livestream clip blew up overnight.
08:15Everyone pitied Sebastian and Evelyn.
08:18I was public enemy number one.
08:20Classmates flooded the comments,
08:22playing 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,
08:40would she feel sorry for me?
08:42Or would she stand with Evelyn just like dad did?
08:45I don't look a single thing like her.
08:47Evelyn is her spitting image.
08:50And I was the reason mom went missing in the first place.
08:54It was Evelyn's birthday party.
08:56The whole class was there.
08:59They came to my door,
09:00mocking me from the hallway,
09:02calling me a freak to defend Evelyn.
09:05I was locked inside,
09:07on dad's orders.
09:09He stood outside the door.
09:10Elena, 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,
09:19she'd regret ever having you.
09:21His footsteps faded down the hall.
09:25Then, the lock clicked.
09:28Evelyn strode in, holding a spare key.
09:30So, Elena,
09:32how did it feel?
09:33Being called the maid's trash on live TV?
09:36She 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.
09:46He just won't say it out loud.
09:48I didn't answer.
09:50I just stared out the window.
09:52The estates' lake was lined with party tents,
09:54balloons,
09:55champagne towers,
09:56a take,
09:56mountains of designer gift boxes.
09:58It 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.
10:09Elena!
10:10I'm talking to you!
10:12Why didn't you die with your mother?
10:14She snatched the broken emerald pieces from my hand
10:17and threw them out the window,
10:18down into the deep, dark lake.
10:21My brain completely short-certed.
10:22I didn't even think.
10:23I climbed onto the windowsill,
10:25and I jumped.
10:26Gasps and screams echoed from the party below.
10:28Freezing water flooded my lungs.
10:30Everything went dark.
10:31But right before I lost consciousness,
10:33I swear I heard a voice.
10:34Elena!
10:34Mommy's right here!
10:38I thought I was dead.
10:40Then, I opened my eyes
10:41and saw the one face I'd missed for ten years.
10:45Mom.
10:46She looked almost exactly the same.
10:49Mom?
10:50I was terrified she would vanish if I blinked.
10:53I'm right here, baby.
10:55Tell me, did someone push you?
10:57Before I could answer.
10:58Mom, it was just an accident.
11:01We were just playing, and she fell.
11:04That's when I realized the room was full.
11:06Evelyn, the estate doctor, and...
11:09Dad.
11:10Dad was staring at Mom.
11:12Who the hell are you?
11:13I only have one daughter.
11:15Evelyn's fake smile dropped.
11:17She looked at Dad in a panic.
11:19My mother followed her gaze.
11:22Sebastian?
11:24You'd better explain.
11:26Is this your secret daughter?
11:28Darling, no!
11:30I swear!
11:31Evelyn is adopted!
11:32Adopted?
11:33Mom let out a bitter, cutting laugh.
11:35She looked at Evelyn's new-moo dress.
11:38Then my dusty room.
11:39You treat a stranger's kid better than your own flesh and blood?
11:43I've been gone ten years, Sebastian.
11:47And you shoved my daughter in a broom closet?
11:49And the luxury party outside?
11:52Today is Elena's birthday!
11:56Why is her name on the banners?
11:58Rosalind, please.
12:00I'll fix it right now.
12:03Pack Elena's things.
12:04Move her back to the master quad.
12:07What about Miss Evelyn's things?
12:09Throw them in a guest room.
12:10I don't care!
12:11Daddy!
12:12Evelyn burst into real, ugly tears.
12:15Rosalind, is this okay?
12:17Okay?
12:20Mom looked down at me, waiting for my lead.
12:23That was when I knew.
12:24Mom really come back.
12:26Mom, I choked out.
12:28I don't want to stay here.
12:29Can you take me with you?
12:31I will.
12:32As soon as you feel better, we're gone.
12:40I used to dream about this moment.
12:42Always.
12:43When Sebastian blamed me without even hearing my side.
12:47But as the years dragged on, I stopped hoping.
12:50I 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.
12:59Holding me tight.
13:00Apologing over and over.
13:02Ten 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.
13:14But I never gave up on coming home.
13:17And to make it back to me, she paid a terrible price.
13:24Mom, you're not leaving me again, right?
13:31She held me tighter.
13:33No.
13:34I am never letting you go, Elena.
13:36Out in the hallway, the floor bones gave a heavy creak.
13:39Dad was standing right outside the door, listening in the dark.
13:42Mom shot a dark, warning look at the door frame.
13:46Then she stroped my hair.
13:48Go 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.
14:11Rosalyn, let me drive you in Elena.
14:15Evelyn stood in the doorway, her face stiff with jealousy.
14:19Her things had already been moved out.
14:22Everyone in the house knew that she was losing her place.
14:27No, thanks.
14:28Are you sure the maid's trash is allowed in your pristine car?
14:32I'm sorry, Rosalyn.
14:33I can explain the live stream.
14:35Elena stormed in and caused a scene.
14:37I was just blind with rage.
14:39I didn't mean to...
14:40Caused a scene?
14:41Her heirloom was stolen.
14:43She was just taking it back.
14:45I mean, can you really blame her?
14:47Sebastian!
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.
15:01Dad hurried out of the car.
15:04I 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.
15:12We don't need your pity.
15:14Come on, Elena.
15:15Mom grabbed my hand.
15:17We walked right past him.
15:19We got into the car.
15:23Dad's SUV trailed slowly behind us,
15:26all the way to school.
15:28Thanks to Evelyn's smear campaigns,
15:30I was the absolute outcast at school.
15:36Elena, 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.
15:45I am Elena's mother,
15:47and I want the little punk
15:49who pushed my daughter
15:49brought in here right now.
15:51He is going to apologize.
15:53In ten years,
15:54I had never had a parent showed up.
15:56No parent-teacher nights,
15:58no school plays,
15:59nothing.
16:00Oh, my God!
16:03You're Rosalind Vale!
16:04I grew up watching your movies!
16:09But wait,
16:10aren't you married to Sebastian Sterling?
16:13Isn't his only daughter Evelyn?
16:18Sebastian Sterling is insane.
16:21He treats a stranger's kid
16:23like pure gold
16:25and throws his own flesh and blood
16:29to the wolves!
16:33I'm not sorry.
16:34I was being a good guy.
16:35She threw a pen at Evelyn first.
16:39I'm sorry, ma'am.
16:41If anyone's to blame,
16:42blame me.
16:43He was just standing up for me.
16:45So really?
16:47It's all my fault!
16:48Don't try that act on me.
16:50I'm not Sebastian.
16:51You think I'd throw my own daughter
16:52under the bus for you?
16:54I knew you didn't like me, ma'am.
16:56But you don't have to call me an actor?
16:58I know exactly what you are.
17:00You stole her birthday celebration.
17:02You hijacked her life.
17:04You told the whole school
17:05she was the maid's trash.
17:07I know exactly what you whispered to her
17:09that day by the lake.
17:12I didn't say it.
17:13Dad did.
17:14He said Alina was the maid's...
17:18Shut your mouth, Evelyn!
17:20Shut your pages!
17:24One more word
17:26and you'll get out.
17:30Sorry, Alina.
17:31They practically shoved his face
17:33into the floor.
17:34We are so sorry, Alina.
17:36He will never bother you again.
17:39What is wrong with Sebastian Sturrent?
17:41Spoiling a random orphan
17:43treating his actual kid like garbage.
17:45No wonder the poor girl
17:46has no friends.
17:47Dad heard every single word.
17:49His shoulders completely froze.
17:52Alina.
17:55Who else bullied you?
17:56Tell Daddy.
17:57You know exactly
17:59who's been torturing her.
18:01The internet is still
18:02tearing her apart
18:03because of that live stream.
18:04Are you playing blind, Sebastian?
18:06You're done for the day.
18:07We are going home.
18:08We are turning on the camera.
18:09You are going to clear
18:10Alina's name.
18:11Live.
18:12What?
18:12No!
18:13Dad, my influencer deals!
18:15My agency will drop me!
18:16Do it!
18:17Or get out!
18:20The live stream officially started.
18:23Because Mom was on camera,
18:25viewership absolutely exploded.
18:32She took my hand
18:33and drew me closer to her side.
18:35Hello, everyone.
18:36I'm back.
18:37And allow me to introduce you
18:39to my daughter.
18:41My actual biological daughter,
18:44Alina Sterling.
18:48Sebastian,
18:49care to explain?
18:50He paused for a second.
18:53Then,
18:53he finally caved.
18:56Rosalyn is right.
18:58Alina is our real daughter.
19:00Evelyn is adopted.
19:02I got her from a group home
19:04ten years ago.
19:05The other day,
19:06Alina stole Alina's necklace.
19:08It was a priceless family heirloom
19:11from my wife.
19:12Alina barged in
19:13because she was defending her property.
19:15I jumped to conclusions.
19:16I was wrong.
19:25I have been a terrible father.
19:29I blamed Alina for Rosalyn being gone.
19:33I took that pain out of my own daughter.
19:35And I never should have brought Evelyn
19:37into our home
19:38when Alina needed me most.
19:40So, as of today,
19:42I am legally severing ties with Evelyn.
19:51Dad!
19:52Dad!
19:52The next day,
19:54Dad Evelyn was kicked out of my home.
19:56She cried the whole way out,
19:58dragging her suitcase,
19:59still hoping Dad would change his mind.
20:02He didn't even look at her.
20:07Dad thought Mom and I would forgive him.
20:09But I was completely done.
20:11And so was Mom.
20:13We packed our bags
20:14and walked right out of the mansion.
20:16All we left behind
20:17were signed divorce papers
20:19on his desk.
20:21Our new place wasn't like that mansion,
20:24but it felt like a real, warm home.
20:27Mom decorated my bedroom perfectly.
20:29Soft blankets,
20:31bright lighting.
20:32When I opened the closet,
20:33it was full of new clothes.
20:35In the latest styles,
20:37I never told her the dark details
20:39of the last ten years.
20:41And she never asked.
20:42But Mom just knew.
20:44She could see every invisible spar.
20:47Evelyn and Dad left on me.
20:49The day we moved in,
20:51she pulled me into her arms.
20:52Elena,
20:53I will never let anyone hurt you again.
20:56I rested my head on her shoulder.
20:58For the first time in my life,
21:00I felt safe.
21:02I know, Mom.
21:05Evelyn's friends at school bullied her.
21:06Give the girl an Oscar!
21:08Faking it as a billionaire heiress
21:09for ten years?
21:10You stole her mom's necklace!
21:11You literally hijacked her entire life!
21:14I want my Cartier bracelet back.
21:15It was twenty grand.
21:17She probably pawned it.
21:18How else is a broke orphan
21:19paying tuition?
21:21Didn't you claim Sebastian was paying
21:23for Elena's charity fund?
21:26You are totally sick.
21:33Back off!
21:35You're crossing a line!
21:36She looked desperately at Brock
21:38across the room.
21:39Please!
21:39She wanted him to play the hero again.
21:41Brock completely avoided her eyes.
21:43Crossing a line?
21:44That's cute coming from you.
21:45You treated us like garbage
21:46for years based on a lie.
21:48Now you want us to play nice?
21:49We're mean.
21:50So what?
21:51Then a half-empty yogurt
21:52flew at her.
21:56They all burst out laughing.
22:03I stood by my desk.
22:04I stood by my desk,
22:05completely numb.
22:06I didn't even look at the mess
22:08in the center of the room.
22:10I just quietly packed
22:11the last of my textbooks.
22:13I knew exactly what these kids
22:15were doing.
22:15They were torturing Evelyn
22:17just to kiss my ass.
22:18But I didn't care anymore.
22:23She had already signed
22:24my transfer papers.
22:26She was waiting for me outside.
22:28No goodbye.
22:29No glance back.
22:32I walked out of the classroom.
22:34The divorce dragged on for months.
22:37Dad fought it tooth and nail.
22:39He begged for Mom's forgiveness
22:40every single day.
22:42And when none of it worked,
22:44he even hurt himself
22:45just to make her stay.
22:49I thought about it for a long time.
22:51Finally, I told Mom
22:51to drop the divorce.
22:52The last ten years
22:53were between me and him.
22:54You two still love each other.
22:55I'll be leaving for college
22:57soon anyway.
22:58I knew she still loved him.
22:59When she first came back,
23:00she said he was half her world.
23:02I couldn't stand
23:02seeing her so miserable.
23:06Elena, you never used
23:07to be like this.
23:09You used to be so loud.
23:11So demanding.
23:12You owned the room.
23:14If you didn't get your way,
23:15you threw a fit.
23:16Now you just walk on eggshells.
23:18You shrink yourself
23:20just to keep the peace.
23:21What did he do to you?
23:25What did he turn
23:25my daughter into?
23:31How could I ever forgive him
23:33for that?
23:36On your birthday,
23:38were you really just diving
23:39for that necklace?
23:40Or did you want to stay under?
23:42If I hadn't come back in time,
23:44when I saw the dead look
23:45in your eyes at the hospital,
23:47it terrified me.
23:48Outside the door,
23:50a shadow paused.
23:52It was dad.
23:53Then he quietly walked away.
23:57New school,
23:58new life.
24:00Classmates were nice to me.
24:02No plastics,
24:03no toxic gossip.
24:05I actually made real friends.
24:07They saw my family's viral drama
24:09all over TikTok.
24:11They knew exactly who I was,
24:13but they totally respected
24:15my boundaries.
24:16They never pushed
24:17for the traumatizing details.
24:19It used to be dead average.
24:21When I spent 10 years
24:22terrified in my own house,
24:24grades didn't matter.
24:26Mom didn't care about my GPA.
24:28She just wanted me
24:29to finally breathe.
24:31But I wanted to get to Harvard.
24:35That's when she went all in.
24:37So,
24:38Mom pulled some strings
24:39and hired elite private tutors.
24:41I worked hard every single night
24:43by finals.
24:43I pulled straight A's.
24:46Mom was over the moon.
24:49She cooked my favorite dishes.
24:51She bought a big cake.
24:55She snapped a picture
24:56of my report card
24:57for Instagram.
25:00Second later,
25:01a notification popped up.
25:03My dad's official corporate account
25:05liked the post.
25:09The college decisions dropped.
25:13I stared at the laptop screen
25:14and broke down.
25:16I got accepted into my dream university.
25:19Two years ago,
25:20I was the girl everyone ignored.
25:22I was a bullied outcast,
25:25rotting in a literal maid's room.
25:27No idea what tomorrow looked like.
25:30Now,
25:31I had a real home.
25:33A mom who loved me.
25:34And I actually had a future.
25:37As always.
25:39Mom posted my acceptance letter online.
25:42Her millions of followers
25:43flooded the comments with love.
25:48But the very next morning,
25:51it was the police.
25:53Sebastian Sterling was dead.
25:55Dad left everything to me.
25:57Company shares,
25:58property,
25:59cash.
26:00Then he took his own life.
26:02He left exactly two letters.
26:05One for mom.
26:06One for me.
26:07I opened mine.
26:09Just two words.
26:12I'm sorry.
26:13The paper was warped.
26:15Streaked with blood
26:17and blurried by tears.
26:18I looked at it for a long time.
26:21No relief.
26:23No anger.
26:26Maybe.
26:29Maybe we were never meant
26:31to be father and daughter.
26:35Evelyn showed up at dad's funeral.
26:38Two years had hollowed her out.
26:39Hair tangled,
26:41unwashed.
26:42Eyes red,
26:43swollen.
26:44Gone was the girl
26:45who played heiress.
26:46Are you happy now, Elena?
26:48He's dead!
26:49Look at me!
26:49Are you thrilled?
26:51When dad kicked her out,
26:53he gave her a massive payout.
26:56Enough to cover
26:57a full college ride.
26:59She blew the entire bag
27:01in a month.
27:03I heard rumors
27:04she dropped out entirely.
27:06Now she danced for nickels
27:07on Twitch streams.
27:09People constantly trolled
27:10her live feeds
27:11about the scandal.
27:13She just screamed
27:14at the chat for tips.
27:16Yeah, I am.
27:17Honestly,
27:19I hope you hit rock bottom.
27:21You're a total psycho!
27:24Takes one to know one.
27:25If dad were here,
27:27he'd destroy you
27:28for treating me like this.
27:30You still think he was
27:31ever on your side?
27:32He loved me!
27:33He always protected me!
27:34He only kicked me out
27:35because your bitch mother
27:36manipulated him!
27:37If he loved you so much,
27:38why didn't he leave you
27:40a single dime?
27:41He left everything to me.
27:43Money, property,
27:44even the ground
27:45you're standing on right now.
27:46She went still.
27:47For once,
27:48she had nothing to say.
27:49I walked right past her.
27:51Behind me,
27:52she broke down sobbing.
27:53I kept going.
27:58Up ahead,
27:59mom was waiting.
28:00I was never looking back again,
28:02just moving forward with mom.
28:05The future was mine to write.
