I shook my head. I couldn't believe it. I tried to convince myself that it was all lies, but then again, I do remember how we got the house. My mom recommended me the house, saying her friends offered us to stay there, back then I never even thought it was suspicious with how low the rent cost was, I was so happy that we could stay at such a nice place for low price.
I chuckled bitterly, my tears falling.
It turns out... I have never stepped out of Gilbert's house after all.
"How could you do this, Mom? Why do you keep hiding things from me!" I cried. "You know... out of all people, you know! How could you do this to me! You were playing me!"
"Abby, He's still your father. I know how much you hate him, but you shouldn't hold such hatred towards your family. I hope you understand that i'm not doing this for me, i'm doing this for you. You have to eventually let go of that hatred. Nothing will come good out of it."
