I found myself still haunted from what just happened when I got back to my place.
Mom and dad wouldn't stop calling.
So I just blocked all of them.
The least thing I wanted right now was to communicate with them.
When they despited me, they wanted nothing to do with me.
Not a glance, not a smile.
Now that they knew I was rich, they wanted everything to do with me.
However, I was tired of seeing their faces.
I did not need a family like this.
That night, I fell asleep like a baby.
But the next morning, it got ruined by a loud knocking.
I opened up the door, not know what's coming.
The door got slammed opened by my parents and my brother.
They rushed into the house as if there's a black Friday sale happening.
I saw my mom's eyes glowing as she looked at the ceiling:
"That's what I call a mansion! Ethan, just imagine my grandchild running around in here, who needs Disneyland when you have this!"
Ethan nodded: "Yeah! Now I can say my child will be born with a silver spoon in his mouth!"
"I know right? This is everything I dreamed of. Ethan! I want a walk-in closet here, for all of my designer clothes and bags, and I want a sauna room, so I can relax every single day."
"However you want, my princess."
My dad looked at me, for the first time in my life, I saw approval in his eyes.
"Dannie, get me a gazebo in the yard, so I can invite some of my friends here."
30 seconds in, they already saw this house as their own.
And that, knocked every single bit of sleepiness out of my body.
I didn't hesitate before I spoke.
"Get out, this is my place, quit daydreaming."
All four of them looked toward me at once.
My father was the first one to break the silence:"Dannie, how long do you think you can hide it from us. We know that you saved the son of a rich guy, got two-hundred mil in return. We are not asking for much, we will just take half of it. Didn't you buy 9 houses? Just give your mom and I one, and one for your brother and sister-in-law."
I could sense the hesitant in his words, seemed like he was aware of how much he's asking for.
They were prepared.
But this is not the old Danny boy anymore, so I said:
"My money, my mansion, none of your business."
Upon hearing that, mom was furious, she put her hands on her hips, and said:
"Do you have any morality left in your soul? You would never get the chance to be in that prison to begin with if it weren't for us! We are being extra generous not asking you to give all those money to us. You should be ashamed of yourself trying to keep all those money to your own!"
It made me speechless seeing my mom acting like this.
I was in the prison for 5 years, I was bullied, starved, tortured in there. But they never paid me a visit, not once. But once they figured out I was rich, they swarmed into my house for a cut, and called me shameful.
"He was our sweetest baby, we loved him so much, and we would rather starve ourselves so he could be fed. And when he finally turned into a grown man, he got rich, and kicked all of us out! He bought 9 mansions, 9! And he still tried to kick us out of the tiny old house we were living in. He said he'd rather have the houses empty rather than having us stay there. How could I raise such a terrible man..." Mom got emotional and could not stop crying, and my brother was patting her on her shoulder:
"My older brother, he was a bully to me, he used to beat me up if I didn't follow his orders. I thought he just had a bad temper, and when he grew up, things would change, but no. There's no morality or whatsoever in this man, he would still try to bring us to court for the crowded little house we were in, and claimed the house was his. I just can't figure out how could someone treat their family like that. Doesn't he know karma exists?"
Ethan looked furious. It's Cathy's turn, she started accusing me while sobbing:
"All these years, he's never been a responsible son, it's always me and my husband taking care of his parents, we never mentioned anything, but he still treated us like this... After the law suit, we tried to reason with him, but e called the security guards to kick us out. I was pregnant, I almost had a miscarriage."
The video was 7 minutes long.
Every word in that video, was an accusation against me.
And they purposely leaked all of my personal info at the end of the video.
It turned me into a rat crossing the street.
My phone, social media accounts, everything they can find about me, are filled with hateful comments.
I knew for a fact that they were trying to cancel me.
Even though I was mentally ready that I was done with them, but hearing all of those false accusations, still made an impact on me.
What about the "family" they kept mentioning?
I understood but this meant— it meant war.
So I called the wealthiest man on earth.
Yes, the money was not the only thing I got from him, he gave me his number, asked me to call him if I ever needed anything.
"Hey Dannie, I heard about what happened to you, I can make all of those stuff disappear if that's what you want."
"No, on the contrary, I hope you can toss a few more logs into the fire."
