00:00After I started high school, my mom gave me $5,000 a month as pocket money.
00:04My bestie got so jealous that she tricked me into swapping souls with her.
00:08She ran excitedly toward that black escalade like,
00:11Oh my God, the rich mom is going to be mine from now on!
00:15I quietly picked up her old canvas backpack and climbed into her mom's used Honda Accord,
00:19secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
00:23God, finally, I got away from my mom.
00:26Just before school let out, Jessica handed me a Starbucks and said,
00:29This is the first time I'm treating you.
00:31I saved up my allowance all week to get you the biggest size.
00:33Hope you don't mind.
00:34I hesitated for a sec, then politely took it and had a couple of tiny sips just to be nice.
00:39Thanks, it's really good.
00:41Right after I said that, a white light flashed in front of my eyes.
00:45When I opened them again, I freaked out.
00:48I had swapped souls with Jessica.
00:51Jessica, what the?
00:53Shh.
00:54From now on, you're Jessica and I'm Sophia.
00:58Sophia, the rich mom is all mine now.
01:01The rich mom is all mine now!
01:03Looking at the excited Jessica, it suddenly dawned on me.
01:06Not long ago, she'd borrowed two bucks from me for lunch and accidentally saw my six-fidger
01:10bank balance.
01:11She was so shocked, she counted the digits over and over.
01:14Sophia, how the hell do you have so much money?
01:16My mom gives me five grand a month.
01:18It just piled up.
01:18Your mom is loaded.
01:20What does she do?
01:21She runs a few companies.
01:23Wow, that's insane.
01:24You're so lucky.
01:26Jessica sipped her Coke and grumbled.
01:28My mom's a stay-at-home mom and super stingy.
01:31She only gives me five bucks a day for lunch.
01:32That's the only reason I had to borrow money from you.
01:35I stayed quiet, staring at the cola in Jessica's hand and swallowing hard.
01:39Because ever since I was 10, I've never drunk any beverages again, nor have I ever tasted
01:44the flavor of happiness.
01:49After that day, Jessica kept telling me she was so done with her mom and wanted to be
01:52my mom's daughter.
01:53I thought she was just saying stuff.
01:55But I never expected she'd literally swap souls with me just to steal my mom.
02:00Sophia, just accept it.
02:01You and I are never swapping back in this life.
02:05While I was still spacing out, Jessica had already chugged the rest of that spiked drink
02:09and sprinted toward the black Escalade that picked me up from school every day.
02:12Watching her bouncing silhouette, I slowly shouldered her old canvas bag, spotted her mom's gray
02:17Honda in the crowd, and secretly let out that sigh of relief inside.
02:22God, I finally escaped my mom.
02:25Jess, something good happened today?
02:27Jessica's mom opened the car door for me.
02:29She had no makeup on, wore a pair of worn-out sneakers and a black hoodie.
02:34She looked kind of thin and pale, but the way she looked at me was crazy gentle.
02:37Yeah, I just suddenly figured out this problem I couldn't solve before.
02:40I answered while sliding into the back seat and accidentally caught my backpack strap on the door handle.
02:45Jessica's mom saw it, stopped the car right away, and helped me untangle the strap.
02:49She didn't scold me at all.
02:50Instead, she pinched my nose playfully and said,
02:52You're such a little kid. Now sit tight.
02:55I sat up straight like she said.
02:57The tip of my nose where she'd touched felt a sudden sting.
02:59Since I was 10, I've been living on my own.
03:01My mom's super busy, flying all over the world.
03:03She never picked me up from school or let me waste her time acting cute.
03:06We haven't touched each other in forever.
03:08Our conversations were like CEO to intern.
03:10She gave orders. I executed.
03:12If I did well, she'd wire money.
03:14If I messed up, there'd be punishment.
03:16Thinking about all the punishments I'd been through, I shivered.
03:19That bone-deep fear instantly spread through my whole body.
03:21I quickly calmed myself down inside.
03:24Don't be scared. You're Jessica now, not Sophia.
03:26You won't have to go through that anymore.
03:28Back at Jessica's place, it was even smaller than I'd imagined.
03:31The living room was kind of messy, with kids' picture books and Lego pieces all over the couch.
03:36Oh, right. Jessica told me she has a little sister, who's not even three yet.
03:41Jess, you still mad at mom?
03:43Jessica's mom took out a shoe box and put it on the coffee table.
03:47Those shoes you wanted, I saved up and got them for you.
03:50Check and see if these are the ones.
03:52I opened the box.
03:53Inside was a knock-off pair of Golden Goose sneakers.
03:56I knew for sure it was fake, because just last week, my mom bought me the real ones,
04:01and ordered me to wear them to school on the 15th of every month.
04:04Even though I hated those shoes, I numbly followed her orders and wore the Golden Geest on the 15th.
04:08Back then, Jessica noticed my new shoes, looked up the price online, and sulked the whole day.
04:13Jess, did mom get the wrong ones?
04:15I looked at her hopeful eyes and felt a warmth rising in my chest.
04:19No, it's just, one of my classmates has the same pair.
04:22Could I pick out something else instead?
04:25Of course.
04:27Here's my phone.
04:28Add whatever you pick to the shopping chart.
04:30I gotta run to the neighbors to pick up your little sister first.
04:32She handed me her phone and headed out.
04:34So she had to leave her younger daughter with the neighbors every day just to have time to pick up
04:37her older one.
04:38But a 17 or 18-year-old girl can totally take the bus to and from herself.
04:42She didn't really need to drive me every day.
04:44Was it to save a little on gas?
04:46I stared at her phone.
04:47It was an old iPhone from three years ago, with two cracks on the screen.
04:51The lock screen and wallpaper were both photos of Jess and her little sister.
04:54You could tell she was crazy frugal and loved her two kids to pieces.
04:57This is so nice.
04:59A mom this great is gonna be mine from now on.
05:01Because I picked out cheap shoes and patiently read picture books with little sis,
05:05Jessica's mom made a huge plate of spaghetti and meatballs to reward me.
05:33Jess, what's wrong? You feeling okay?
05:35No, it's just...
05:37Mom, your meatball pasta is so freaking good, I almost can't bring myself to eat it.
05:41Silly girl. Have more if you like it. I'll make it again tomorrow.
05:48My eyes started stinging.
05:50Something broken inside me for a long, long time slowly began to heal.
05:55So this is what it feels like to be loved by a mom.
05:58Like a spring breeze in California.
06:00Like the California sun in winter.
06:02But just when I thought I could slowly pull myself out of hell in this cozy home,
06:07Jessica's mom got into a huge fight with her husband because of me.
06:13Two in the morning, the sound of the front door lock turning came from the living room.
06:18Jessica's mom quietly slipped out of bed.
06:22A girl, five bucks isn't enough for lunch?
06:24Jess loves meat.
06:26A single meat dish in the school cafeteria is three or four bucks now.
06:30Sometimes she needs stationery too, it's really not enough.
06:33A girl, five bucks isn't enough for lunch?
06:34Why the hell does she need more food money?
06:36Jess loves meat.
06:38A single meat dish in the school cafeteria is three or four bucks now.
06:41Sometimes she needs stationery too, it's really not enough.
06:43I work hard all day, you know? I'm not made of money.
06:46That's not the point, Mike. She's a growing girl.
06:48If she's so damn good at spending money, forget school and go work as a cashier at Walmart!
06:53It went quiet outside.
06:54My heart was pounding like crazy.
06:57I couldn't believe a father could say something so vicious.
07:00Mike, three years ago you made me quit my job to have a second kid,
07:03promising me three grand a month for house expenses.
07:05Two years ago you said money was tight and cut it to $2,000.
07:08This year you only give me $12,000.
07:09So please make up the $2,000 and I'll add more for our daughter's lunch money.
07:13You three! Nothing but a bunch of money grovers!
07:15You can't even give me a son, why should I spend $1,200 keeping you?
07:18I could keep a dog outside for $1,200 and at least it would wag its tail at me!
07:22Another stretch of suffocating silence.
07:24I thought after being humiliated like that, she'd definitely ask for a divorce.
07:28But she didn't say a word.
07:29She just walked back into the room, completely crushed.
07:33I squeezed my eyes shut immediately.
07:34She didn't notice I was pretending to be asleep.
07:37She tucked the blanket around me, sat down beside me, and silently started crying.
07:40In that moment, I suddenly understood why Jessica wanted a rich mom so badly.
07:45The next morning, Jessica's mom apologized and told me,
07:48The neighbor had something come up and couldn't watch Little Sis,
07:50so I'd have to take the bus to school yourself.
07:53Mom transferred $10 to your Apple Pay.
07:55$2.50 for the bus, the rest is for lunch.
07:57Wait, not $5?
07:58Last night, Jessica's dad had clearly refused to increase her lunch money.
08:03You're still growing.
08:04I can't skimp on your food.
08:05It's only an extra $2.50 a day, like $60 or $70 more a month.
08:09I'll cover it.
08:10Jess, don't hold back at school.
08:12Buy whatever you feel like eating.
08:14The rough callus on her fingertips gently froshed with Keefe.
08:17A little itchy, little pain.
08:19I couldn't help it and hugged her.
08:20Thanks, Mom.
08:21She froze for a second, then patted my back and mumbled,
08:24You silly kid.
08:25You're acting like a completely different person.
08:27I snapped back to reality instantly.
08:29I couldn't believe she'd noticed so fast.
08:31I practically fled the house and pulled out my phone,
08:34which I hadn't taken out all day yesterday.
08:38Unlocking it with Face ID,
08:40Jessica's messages started popping up one after another.
08:42My etiquette teacher just praised me, said I've improved a ton.
08:45I got three A's in French oral class.
08:47If it were you, you probably wouldn't get a single one, right?
08:50The shrink is so cute, lol.
08:52She actually seriously told me to get more sun.
08:54My life is so happy.
08:56Even if it rained every day, it wouldn't touch me.
08:58Hey, hey.
08:58You know what?
08:59The butler just reported to my mom that I aced all my Tuesday targets.
09:02Mom was super satisfied and randomly ordered me a Chanel haute couture set.
09:07Chanel haute couture?
09:08What's so great about that?
09:09There are over a dozen haute couture pieces hanging in the walk-in closet.
09:13Those expensive, fancy clothes are less comfortable to me than a school uniform.
09:16Because the second I put on those couture pieces,
09:19my whole name just becomes Mrs. Walker's daughter.
09:21At those suffocating social events,
09:23I couldn't even own my own feelings or facial expressions.
09:27Jess, your mom couldn't drive you again today?
09:30Olivia from the next class called out to me.
09:32Her sympathetic voice pulled me out of those bad memories.
09:35I froze for a second, gave her a smile, and said,
09:38Yeah, my mom has to look after my little sister.
09:41How come you're not mad today?
09:43I thought you hated your little sister.
09:46Sister, read it.
09:48Hate my little sister?
09:49Jessica's little sister is like a squishy plush doll.
09:52When she blinked those big eyes and called me big sound her baby voice,
09:55my heart just melted.
09:57Why would Jessica hate her?
09:59Was it because of money again?
10:01On the bus, I kept reading G the messages from Jessica.
10:04Mom's coming back from Europe next week.
10:06When she does, I'll tell her I want to transfer back to private school,
10:09then go study in Switzerland.
10:11We've been besties for three years, so I guess we've got some kind of fate.
10:15As long as you keep everything about my high school years a secret,
10:18I can give you a chunk of hush money before I leave.
10:20Late at night, she sent a photo of the sparkling city view
10:23from her bedroom's floor-to-ceiling window.
10:25Jealous?
10:26This is the penthouse top floor you'll never, ever reach, Jessica.
10:30A life you'll never, ever have.
10:32The last two messages came five minutes ago.
10:35Princess has transferred $20 to you.
10:37Jessica, just saw you waiting for the bus.
10:39Your mom ditched you for your little sister again, right?
10:42So pathetic.
10:43Hurry up and Uber to school.
10:44I'll wait for you in the classroom.
10:46I hit receive and turned off the screen.
10:48It looked like Jessica had adapted to the Sophia identity perfectly.
10:51She could accept those tasteless custom health meals,
10:53those intense, suffocating three-on-one tutoring sessions,
10:57and that empty, lifeless home with no family or warmth at all.
11:01She was basically the perfect daughter Taylor made for my mom.
11:04My mom always wanted a daughter who obeyed her orders with AI-liked precision.
11:08After seeing Jessica's performance yesterday, she's finally satisfied, I guess.
11:15Wait.
11:16Something suddenly hit me.
11:17I gripped my phone, cold sweat still seeping from my palms out of pure fear.
11:21Jessica made re-three fatal mistakes.
11:24I made it to school just in time, dropped my canvas bag, panting.
11:28Jessica, who was scrolling through TikTok, glanced up at me.
11:31You took the money.
11:32Why didn't you take an Uber?
11:33I frowned, snatched her phone, and nervously closed the short video app.
11:37Stop scrolling.
11:38Something bad's gonna happen.
11:39What could possibly happen from scrolling TikTok?
11:42Jessica glared at me, annoyed.
11:44Give me back my phone.
11:45All your social accounts are monitored in real time.
11:48There are cameras all over the house.
11:49She knows every single thing you do.
11:51I took a deep breath, trying my best to sound calm.
11:53You know what?
11:54You made three fatal mistakes.
11:55Knowing her personality, we're both screwed.
11:57You're just a little girl to her.
11:58She can get rid of you anytime.
12:00Stakes?
12:00My performance last night was absolutely perfect.
12:02Even the butler didn't notice anything off.
12:04Who are you trying to scare?
12:05I'm not trying to scare you.
12:06Can you just listen and listen to-
12:07I don't want to hear it, Jessica.
12:08Give me my phone back right now, or I'll make you buy me a new one.
12:12I was speechless.
12:13Suddenly, a guy's arm reached out.
12:15Ryan, the football captain Jessica had been crushing war forever,
12:18snatched the phone from my hand and smoothly hand it to her.
12:20Sophia, got your phone back for you.
12:23Oh.
12:24Jessica took the phone lukewarmly and placed it on the table.
12:27Ryan had no intention of leaving, though.
12:29So, blushing, he asked quietly,
12:31Sophia, I heard you're really good at chess.
12:33Want to play a game after lunch?
12:36Nope, I'm busy.
12:37Jessica flat out rejected Ryan's invite.
12:40After putting her phone away, she flipped open her AP English textbook
12:43without even glancing up at her former crush.
12:46I didn't get Jessica's reaction either.
12:48Just the day before yesterday, she was deliberately creating coincidental meetings
12:51and hoping to be in the same group as Ryan in gym class.
12:54How could she change so fast?
12:56Why is she being like this?
12:57She was all over him yesterday, and now she's acting like he doesn't even exist.
13:02I'm going to take over Walker Group someday.
13:04Ryan's nowhere near good enough for me.
13:06Noticing me staring, Jessica smugly lifted her chin.
13:09In my eyes right now, he's just like you.
13:11Nothing but an insignificant grain of sand.
13:14Not leaving a single trace in my life.
13:17I realized Jessica had completely bought into being Sophia,
13:20and right now, she was totally enjoying everything I used to hate.
13:23This was exactly what I'd hoped for.
13:25As long as she could keep fooling my mom,
13:28we could both live the lives we wanted.
13:31That day, I warned her over and over that Catherine was nothing like the model mother
13:35described in Forbes magazine, but a cold-blooded, ruthless monster.
13:39But Jessica kept thinking I was just trying to drive a wedge between them
13:42because she'd stolen my mom.
13:46In the end, I had to give up.
13:48I spent the whole afternoon writing down all 121 house rules in a notebook
13:52and gave it to her.
13:53But before she even looked closely, she tore those pages to shreds.
13:57I'm not falling for this.
13:58This is just your way of trying to steal your life back.
14:00Even if it is true, I don't need your reminders.
14:03I'm confident I can make mom accept me.
14:04Maybe mom will notice I'm a little different from before,
14:06but that's just me changing after realizing my past mistakes.
14:09From now on, be a well-behaved, sensible daughter.
14:11I've read your text history and I seriously don't get it.
14:14How could you want a mom who's just there by your side?
14:16I'd only feel grateful and heartbroken for my mom
14:18working her ass off out there every day.
14:20If my mom gave herself up to housework and kids
14:22like some stay-at-home housewives,
14:23I'd just be living like a homeless person,
14:25not even having bus feet.
14:26Jessica wasn't lying.
14:28Once during a downpour, her mom forgot to send her bus feet
14:31and she had to borrow two bucks from me.
14:33Right then, a message popped up on my phone.
14:35Honey, mom's helping the neighbor with some cleaning.
14:37Can you take the bus home by yourself?
14:39I made your favorite Italian dumplings today.
14:41If you're hungry when you get home, boil some first.
14:43Even though she'd forgotten the bus fare again,
14:45I held my phone, and I don't know why,
14:47but just thinking about how she'd wrapped dumplings
14:49specially for me made me feel all warm inside.
14:52After school, Jessica noticed I was about to take the bus.
14:56She stopped me, all high and mighty.
14:58Your mom ditched you for your sister again?
15:00So pathetic.
15:01This young lady will transfer you another 20 bucks.
15:03Take an Uber home.
15:03Without waiting for my reply,
15:05she bossily sent over 20 bucks,
15:07then ran off to that black Escalade without looking back.
15:10I took the money, but had zero plans to take an Uber.
15:13Jessica's family isn't well of.
15:15Her mom even cleans for neighbors to earn extra cash.
15:18I wanted to save the money and give it to her.
15:22It was peak rush hour after school and work.
15:25The bus was totally packed.
15:26A bunch of students got on and off,
15:28but it stayed crazy crowded.
15:29so much that I didn't notice some guy in a baseball cap
15:32had been standing next to me for several stops.
15:37Hey, it's you.
15:39Sorry.
15:39Lost my balance.
15:42He acted like he knew Jessica,
15:44greeting me all casual.
15:45I pressed my lips together,
15:46said nothing,
15:47and turned my back to him.
15:50I thought that'd keep me safe,
15:51but his hand crawled onto my waist like an ant.
15:54Little girl,
15:55let your uncle just hold on, okay?
15:57Every hair on my body stood up.
15:58Instinctively,
15:59I grabbed that hand and held it tight.
16:00The Brazilian jiu-jitsu I'd trained since I was a killed
16:02finally came in handy today.
16:04I finally got why Jessica never wanted me to take the bus.
16:07She'd definitely been harassed too,
16:08which was why she made her mom drive her every day.
16:10But the second her mom couldn't pick her up
16:12because of some small thing,
16:13she was back in danger.
16:14But why didn't she ever call the cops
16:16or tell her family about this?
16:17What's going on?
16:19Three hours later,
16:20I got my answer.
16:21Jess, go home and take a shower first.
16:23Mom's got to pick up your little sister.
16:24It was already 9 p.m.
16:26when Jessica's mom brought me home
16:27from the police station.
16:28Looking at her puffy, red eyes,
16:30I felt so guilty.
16:32Truth was,
16:32I didn't get the short end of the stick at all.
16:34I actually kicked out two of that guy's front teeth,
16:37but she kept blaming herself the whole time
16:39for not picking me up.
16:43I need to report a case of harassment.
16:45My daughter was followed home from school today.
16:47Honestly, she did amazing.
16:48She rushed to the station right away in a dirty apron,
16:50trying her best to keep it together
16:51and handle it rationally.
16:53This is already the third time, isn't it?
16:55No one can do anything to me anyway.
16:57She lunged at him,
16:58trying to hit him,
16:58but two cops immediately held her back.
17:00Struggling, she screamed,
17:01I looked at this tiny woman
17:03and I saw something I'd never seen before.
17:05During all this,
17:06she called Mike.
17:07The response she got was,
17:08you're an embarrassment.
17:09Get your ass back home now.
17:11Honestly, I wasn't surprised
17:12by her husband's insane reaction anymore.
17:14What I didn't expect was,
17:16the second I opened the front door,
17:17he flew into a rage,
17:18rushed over,
17:19and slapped me across the face.
17:20You stupid brat out there seducing men all day.
17:22I told you to go back to Texas
17:24and marry my friend's son.
17:25His family promised to buy me a pickup truck
17:26and now it's all ruined
17:27and you knocked out two of his teeth.
17:29I'm not paying a four to go single cent for you.
17:31If you can't afford to go sell yourself,
17:33I'm so damn unlucky,
17:34stuck with you three jigsaw.
17:35He didn't give a damn
17:36about what his daughter had been through.
17:38He actually thought her being harassed
17:39was just an embarrassment for him.
17:40Mike, have you lost your mind?
17:42This isn't her fault at all.
17:43It's that pervert who hurt our daughter.
17:45You said to lay a son,
17:45it's all your fault
17:46for insisting she go to high school.
17:47What's the point of girls studying?
17:48It's being treated like...
17:52Mike, that's enough.
17:53What, Emily, you want a divorce?
17:55You can't bear to leave these two little Brits?
17:57Don't forget you've got zero income right now.
18:00How the hell are you going to survive with two kids?
18:01That half-hearted resistance
18:03just brought an even more vicious beating from Mike.
18:06I'll teach you to fucking talk back to me!
18:12Jess, murder is against the law.
18:14Pete, please stop fighting.
18:17Make sis hug.
18:19Don't be afraid, Mom's here.
18:21The room fell silent.
18:22Mom soothed Little Sist
18:23and went to check on Mike.
18:24Frustrated, I grabbed her.
18:25Mom, can you just divorce him?
18:27Jess, just focus on your studies.
18:28Kids shouldn't meddle in grown-up stuff.
18:30In that moment, I felt so disappointed.
18:32But soon, I figured out what was holding her back.
18:34I took out my phone and texted Jessica.
18:37Lend me 500 bucks.
18:38Dad's violent.
18:39We have nowhere to go.
18:40Wednesday night at 9.30,
18:41she should have just finished
18:42her business management class.
18:43Knowing her,
18:44she'd start scrolling her phone
18:45the second class ended.
18:46Sure enough,
18:47within a minute,
18:47she replied.
18:52I snapped a photo of Mike
18:53lying unconscious
18:54and sent it.
19:00It's okay, Emma.
19:05I calmly locked the screen.
19:06Years of harsh training
19:07had taught me to quickly steady
19:08my emotions in most situations.
19:10But this time,
19:11I was scared.
19:12Mom, if I stay here any longer,
19:13I'm scared I won't be able
19:14to stop myself from killing Dad.
19:17Can you come with me
19:18and stay somewhere else
19:19just for one night?
19:21Let's go.
19:21We're leaving right now.
19:29We spent the night
19:30at a Hampton Inn near school.
19:31The next day,
19:33I got to school
19:33even earlier than Jessica.
19:35You're not hurt?
19:36No.
19:36I suddenly remembered
19:38all the bruises
19:38that randomly showed up
19:40on Jessica
19:40over the past three years.
19:42I lowered my gaze a little.
19:44What?
19:44Can't believe parents
19:45like that exist?
19:46Then let me tell you,
19:47your hard days
19:48are just beginning.
19:49And don't you dare dream
19:50of saving your mom.
19:51She's long used to this life
19:52and she's convinced
19:53she's staying
19:54for the kid's sake.
19:55Mom agreed to a divorce.
19:57Impossible.
19:57She doesn't have
19:58the guts to divorce.
19:59If you don't get a divorce,
20:00I will stop going to school.
20:01A daughter is Emily's weakness,
20:03but she can also be her armor.
20:05Emily really does love Jessica.
20:07Do you want your daughter
20:08to go to the magnet school?
20:09Fine.
20:10Resign and have a second child
20:11and I'll sign the papers.
20:12I only found out
20:13when I threatened to drop out
20:14to pressure her into a divorce.
20:16Three years ago,
20:17she'd agreed to quit her job
20:18and have a second child
20:19just so her husband
20:19would let Jessica go
20:20to this highly ranked
20:21magnet school.
20:22Jess, you can't drop out.
20:23Getting into college is your...
20:25She was afraid of losing custody,
20:26but she was even more afraid
20:28of her daughter
20:28marrying young like she did
20:30and going through
20:30the same painful life.
20:32I bet right.
20:32Even though she wasn't ready at all,
20:34she still promised me
20:35as long as I kept studying,
20:37she'd get divorced.
20:38Loving your kids
20:39more than yourself,
20:40maybe that's a trait
20:41of most stay-at-home moms,
20:42unlike Catherine,
20:43who only cares about herself.
20:44I gripped my pen,
20:45wanting to write something
20:46to calm down.
20:47Jessica, you must really
20:48want to swap back.
20:49That's why you're telling me
20:50all this?
20:51Don't waste your energy.
20:51My mom comes back in four days
20:53and then I'm off
20:54to an elite private school.
20:56Congrats to you then.
20:57I didn't tell her
20:58what was waiting for her
20:59in four days.
21:00On the very first day
21:01of the swap,
21:02Jessica made three fatal mistakes.
21:03First, she got three A's
21:05in French oral class.
21:06The reason I never got A's
21:07in my other courses
21:08was that the second I did,
21:10Catherine would raise the bar,
21:11except for oral class.
21:12Even if I wanted an A,
21:14I couldn't get one
21:14because I'm not good
21:16at expressing myself.
21:17Most of the time,
21:18I just quietly listened
21:19to the teacher
21:20and avoided talking
21:21as much as possible.
21:22Second, she opened the curtains.
21:24After mom and dad divorced,
21:26she made an enemy
21:26out of the Morgan family.
21:29All these years,
21:30the Morgans have been
21:30spying on us,
21:31so my curtains
21:32have never been opened
21:33and they're not allowed
21:34to be opened.
21:35That night,
21:36when Catherine saw
21:37on the surveillance footage
21:38that Jessica had opened
21:39the curtains
21:39and was standing
21:40by the window
21:40taking photos,
21:41she definitely got suspicious.
21:43Third, she took out
21:44her phone at home.
21:45Every corner of that house
21:46has cameras,
21:47including the bedroom.
21:49So I never take
21:50my phone out
21:51after I get home
21:51because the punishment
21:52for wasting time
21:53is beyond terrifying.
21:55I never want
21:55to go through that again.
21:56And Jessica sent me
21:57all those messages
21:58that night.
21:59She's about to face
22:00my mom's harshest punishment.
22:01That's Catherine's style.
22:03Cold with clear rewards
22:04and punishments.
22:05You can eat.
22:06She allows you to mess up
22:08and she won't correct you
22:09right away,
22:09but she'll use other methods
22:11to make you remember
22:12that mistake forever,
22:13making you submit
22:14to her completely
22:14in despair.
22:15I told you,
22:16junk food is forbidden.
22:17Since you ate it,
22:18swim for two hours
22:20and burn that junk off.
22:22Half an hour later,
22:23I collapsed from exhaustion
22:24and nearly drowned.
22:26If the doctor and assistant
22:27hadn't been watching,
22:28I'd probably be dead.
22:30This went on from age 10
22:31all the way to senior year.
22:33Eight whole years.
22:34I'd reached my breaking point
22:35long ago.
22:36I never imagined
22:37I'd accidentally swap souls
22:38with Jessica.
22:39Since she likes Catherine so much,
22:41let Catherine be her mom forever.
22:42The next day,
22:43halfway through class,
22:44I spotted Laura,
22:45the assistant,
22:46outside the classroom.
22:47Sophia,
22:48your mom called in a leave for you.
22:50Like the fading at the school gate,
22:51you can head out first.
22:52Jessica was too excited to notice.
22:54She thought her rich mom
22:55was taking her to a private school.
22:57She looked at me smugly.
22:58We won't be seeing each other again.
22:59I didn't respond.
23:01Every muscle in my body tensed up,
23:03my mind replaying over and over
23:05whether I'd done anything wrong.
23:07Even though I was Jessica now,
23:09my fear of Catherine
23:10was like a nightmare
23:11I just couldn't shake.
23:12The second I hear her name,
23:13I get physically sick.
23:15The moment I see her,
23:16I'm like a drowning fish,
23:17gasping for air.
23:18I can only breathe again
23:20once she's gone.
23:22Same this time.
23:23It wasn't until I watched Jessica
23:25get into Catherine's Maybach
23:26and saw that car drive away
23:28that my tense nerves
23:29finally started to relax.
23:31But deep down,
23:32I silently prayed,
23:33I hope Jessica really can do
23:34what she said,
23:35get Catherine's approval,
23:37and those two can be locked together
23:38forever as mother and daughter.
23:40The next day,
23:41Jessica didn't show up for class.
23:43The day after that,
23:45she still didn't come.
23:48I tentatively asked the counselor
23:50if Sophia had transferred schools.
23:52No, Sophia's mom said she's sick
23:53and needs to rest up at home
23:54for a few days.
23:55But the counselor said,
23:56sick?
23:57Rest up for a few days?
23:59When I ran away from home
24:00in eighth grade and got caught,
24:01Catherine used the exact same excuse
24:03with my counselor.
24:04Then I got thrown
24:04into the reflection room.
24:05The reflection room
24:06was a converted first floor
24:08guest bedroom.
24:09No windows,
24:10just a chair,
24:10a desk,
24:11and a bedpan.
24:12Once locked in,
24:13I had to write self-criticism letters
24:14every day
24:15exactly as Catherine demanded.
24:17And I wouldn't be let out
24:18until she was satisfied.
24:19There's a huge chance
24:21Jessica's been locked
24:22in that reflection room right now.
24:23I hope she just repents
24:25like a good girl.
24:25If she stubbornly refuses
24:27to admit fault,
24:28the butler and other staff
24:29will all be sent in turns
24:30into the reflection room
24:31to persuade her,
24:32eating,
24:33drinking,
24:33and doing their business
24:34right there with her.
24:35It's as terrifying as it gets.
24:37But the butler and staff
24:38all volunteer for it.
24:39They get a $500 bonus
24:41for each day they spend in there.
24:43Only I got breakdowns
24:44and despair out of it.
24:45The more I thought about it,
24:46the more freaked out I got.
24:48The second school let out,
24:49I bolted back to the rental.
24:51Jess,
24:51your dad and I went to the courthouse
24:52to file for divorce today,
24:54and Walker Group
24:55sent me a job interview invitation.
24:56I really didn't expect them
24:57to give me a shot at 37.
25:00Mom,
25:0137 is nothing.
25:02Walker's a woman-friendly company.
25:04A lot of employees
25:04are women over 40,
25:05including plenty of stay-at-home moms
25:06returning to work.
25:07You'll see when you get there.
25:09I haven't worked in three years.
25:10I don't know if I can do it.
25:12Mom,
25:13relax 100%.
25:14Walker has onboarding training.
25:16HR will decide based on that
25:18whether you start work
25:19or keep training.
25:20If you really can't handle
25:21the current position,
25:22they'll reassign you
25:23based on your here strengths.
25:24Really?
25:26Jess,
25:26with all the school stress
25:27you're under,
25:28you still specially help mom
25:29look into work stuff.
25:30Mom really feels
25:31so bad for you.
25:33Mom,
25:33you were always too scared
25:34to divorce before,
25:35but now that you've actually done it,
25:36don't you see divorcing's
25:37not that scary
25:38and going back to work's
25:38not that scary either?
25:40Once you take that first step,
25:41the way ahead clears up.
25:42You're right.
25:42If I really want
25:43what's best for you and Emma,
25:44I need to set a good example
25:45for you both.
25:45A bad marriage
25:46isn't worth hanging on to
25:47or missing.
25:48Even if I'm almost 40,
25:49I still have a chance
25:50to fix my mistakes.
25:51For my daughters,
25:52there's nothing
25:53I'm not willing to risk.
25:54just for her daughters?
25:55I actually wanted to tell her
25:56she could make these changes
25:57for herself too.
25:59But in that moment,
26:00I thought of Catherine again.
26:01I can understand
26:02the perseverance
26:02and pressure of a working mom,
26:04and I can understand
26:05the hard work and sacrifice
26:06of a stay-at-home mom.
26:07But I'll never,
26:08ever understand Catherine.
26:10She wouldn't spend time with me,
26:11yet controlled me every second.
26:13She was like
26:14a truly pathological extreme.
26:17After dinner,
26:18I pulled out my phone
26:19and casually opened Instagram.
26:21Right then,
26:22I scrolled onto a live stream
26:23of the Walker Group
26:24Lakeside Charity Auction,
26:25and I was shocked speechless.
26:27Not because this event,
26:28usually fixed in winter,
26:29had suddenly been moved up
26:31by over half a year,
26:32but because Catherine
26:33had not only brought
26:34Jessica to the event,
26:35but also allowed her
26:36to answer reporters' questions freely.
26:38Jessica was wearing
26:39that new Chanel haute couture
26:40Catherine brought back
26:41from Paris,
26:42looking like a proud white swan.
26:44It seemed like she and Catherine
26:45were getting along pretty well.
26:47This can't be,
26:48just as I thought.
26:49Jessica,
26:49who'd been elegantly answering questions,
26:51suddenly snatched the microphone
26:52from the host.
26:54Catherine Walker,
26:55you're a goddamn
26:55through-and-through psycho!
26:57Sophia,
26:57why are you calling
26:58Mrs. Walker a psycho?
26:59She's your mother.
27:00She's not my mom.
27:00She's insane.
27:01Look at this,
27:02and you'll see just how crazy she is.
27:04Even blood sugar
27:05has to be monitored
27:06in real time.
27:07No wonder
27:08it's pushed her
27:08to this state.
27:10For three days straight,
27:11Catherine locked me
27:12in a windowless reflection room
27:13and played videos of my life
27:14after age 10
27:15from morning to night.
27:16I wasn't allowed to eat
27:17or sleep until I finished them,
27:18but those videos add up
27:19to over 3,000 hours.
27:20How could I possibly finish that?
27:21She wants to drive me insane.
27:23She just wants to push me to death.
27:25Mrs. Walker,
27:25is what Sophia said true?
27:27Our group always claims
27:27to be a woman-friendly company.
27:29Doesn't this behavior
27:30smack of abusing a minor?
27:34First,
27:35my daughter was born
27:35on January 31, 2007,
27:37so she's already an adult.
27:38Second,
27:39teen girls can be a bit rebellious,
27:40and my daughter is no exception.
27:43Catherine,
27:44this isn't rebellion.
27:45In just three days,
27:46I'm already on the verge
27:46of a breakdown.
27:47What normal mother
27:48installs this many cameras
27:49at home to spy on her daughter?
27:50What normal mother
27:51enforces 121 house rules
27:52on her daughter?
27:53What mother uses
27:54a lie detector on her daughter,
27:55forces her to undergo hypnosis?
27:57And what normal mother
27:58edits together a combination
27:59of her daughter's failures,
28:00mistakes,
28:00moments of fear,
28:01and tears
28:01and plays it over and over
28:03to torture her
28:03whenever she misbehaves?
28:05Catherine,
28:05you're not normal.
28:06You're a monster.
28:07You need to see a psychiatrist.
28:09Sophia,
28:09the one who needs
28:10to seriously see a shank
28:11is you.
28:13Dr. Nelson's
28:13psychological evaluation report
28:15shows you're currently
28:16severely suicidal.
28:23Truth is,
28:24I'd done this before too,
28:26exposed Catherine
28:26as a control freak
28:27in public.
28:28It was totally useless.
28:30My mom's an expert
28:30at mental torture.
28:31I had no physical evidence
28:33to accuse her of abuse.
28:34And most people
28:35didn't buy it either
28:36that Catherine,
28:37who championed women
28:38supporting women,
28:38could treat her own daughter
28:39in such a sick way.
