hi my name is diana i was born into a
miserable poor family as the eldest of
four girls and for some unknown reason
my whole family has always hated me even
as a kid i knew dad was kind of a loser
he just sat around in his pajamas all
day barking orders at me we had an
ancient tv set without a remote and
every evening it was my job to stand
next to it and keep changing the
channels even though he was useless mom
seemed to adore him in fact the only
person she didn't like was me when i was
seven mom and dad decided to have a
proper christmas for once and i was
really excited but when i opened my
present i saw my little sister's dirty
sweater inside ew mom i think you meant
to throw this in the garbage and why
would i throw away a perfectly good
sweater was i supposed to wash it for
your highness go do it so you can wear
it for the family picture mom it won't
even fit me not with that attitude it
was so tight on me i could hardly
breathe all my sisters got brand new
sweaters and i was the only one who
looked like an idiot in the family photo
even worse when mom framed it and hung
it up on the wall i saw that i'd been
cropped out of the picture years passed
and they continued to treat me poorly i
slept in a bed i'd outgrown years ago
and my cupboard was a cardboard box
whenever mom ordered pizza she always
gave me the smallest slice sometimes i
started thinking i wasn't even her
daughter on my 13th birthday i decided
to throw myself a party but of course at
my friend's place i had some savings to
buy snacks and a cake and as i was
sneaking out i bumped straight into my
12 year old sister selena she grinned
and said she wouldn't tell mom if i let
her join me and i didn't really have a
choice we were actually having a good
time until one of my friends mentioned
my boyfriend zach oh no no
mom would kill me if she found out she
always said that having a boyfriend is a
red line i tried to signal my friend to
shut up but she just didn't get it wait
you have a boyfriend diana oh she
doesn't know well your sister is really
popular with all the boys but zack was
the lucky one who finally won her heart
oh that's cool uh please excuse me i
have to make a quick phone call and with
that she shut herself up in the bathroom
this was not going to end well for me
and sure enough when we got home mom was
waiting for us looking like a
fire-breathing dragon are you freaking
kidding me diana he isn't even rich what
are you talking about mom your boyfriend
zack i just looked him up online and
he's dirt poor dating a loser is the
dumbest thing a girl can do
how about marrying one mom dad is a
loser too don't try to be cheeky dump
this idiot and find yourself a rich boy
do you understand me sure mom you're
more important to me than any boy i'll
dump him tomorrow mom was insane she had
always been against having a boyfriend
and now she only wanted me to date rich
boys but of course i did nothing of the
sort and i kept dating zach secretly i
even managed to hide it from my sisters
at school and mom had no idea well at
least until the ninth grade i knew mom
would be coming to school to meet
selena's teacher one day so i had to
warn zach to be careful but before i
could i walked into the cafeteria to
find he'd arranged a surprise party for
me he jumped onto one of the tables and
announced hey everyone today is my
lovely girlfriend's birthday and i have
something very special for her because i
love her so much then he came to me and
gave me a freaking diamond necklace zack
how did you even pay for that babe
listen but just then someone pushed me
aside and snatched the necklace from him
it was mom oh my god this is a real
diamond necklace where'd you get that
from boy it's okay you don't have to
answer that diana my daughter
marry him and then she put her arms
around zack's shoulders and mine and
took us home and just like that mom was
happy with zach and loved him so very
much she invited him over every day and
fed him like crazy dad seemed to like
him too and the two played video games
for hours it seems like zack was really
enjoying himself too because he never
left the house sometimes he'd even sleep
over on the couch at night but soon
enough it seemed like zach was becoming
one of them all he did was sit on the
couch and bark orders like dad while he
and mom made jokes about me all day i
was getting really sick of everything
until one day someone knocked on the
front door and i opened it to find two
police officers standing there is zach
here miss yeah what do you want from him
we need to take him with us we think he
stole something i turned around to look
for zach but he was already running like
a scared mouse the officers managed to
catch him and it turned out he'd stolen
that diamond necklace so obviously i
gave it to the police i was secretly so
happy to be rid of zach but mom weren't
ballistic wasn't it enough that you were
dating a poor boy but he's also a thief
just when i think you couldn't be more
pathetic you surprised me diana well mom
i wasn't born to impress you and if
you're so amazing how come you didn't
land a rich guy and married our dumb dad
instead just leave me alone i didn't
talk to anyone for weeks i was so tired
of my family one morning as i was
leaving for school the doorbell rang and
i found a sophisticated woman standing
outside who smiled and asked if she
could come in you must be diana right
yeah who are you i'm your aunt your
dad's sister i looked at her and then
dad on the couch seriously you're that
guy's sister sweetheart didn't your mom
ever tell you that's not your real dad
wait what just then mom came running in
and she turned pale when she saw the
woman you what are you doing here i'm
here to take diana to see her father
everybody just hold on for a freaking
second i have a different dad well duh
can't you see how different you look
it's not really a secret everyone in
this house knows my head was spinning i
couldn't believe this so what does he
want with her now huh he just abandoned
me when i got pregnant with her he
really wants to meet her just once diana
would that be okay i was too shocked to
refuse mom tried to stop me but i pulled
my arm away and followed the woman into
the limousine waiting for us when i got
to dad's house i had to pinch my cheeks
it was a huge mansion bigger than my
entire school my dad was a millionaire a
butler and maids were standing at the
entrance and suddenly they looked like
they were about to fall so i ran forward
to help them but my aunt stopped me oh
no sweetie they're bowing they're
showing their respect oh that was a bow
someone was showing me respect that was
new she took me to the last floor and
opened a gold door then she turned
around and left i stepped in to find a
man sitting up in bed diana is that you
please come in i've been waiting for you
the man looked really tired and he
smiled warmly at me and asked me to sit
down next to him i'm very sorry that i
never reached out to you before diana
i'm sure you can't forgive me right away
but i need you to listen to me i don't
think i have much time to live and
you're my only child i want you to move
in and live with me and your aunt i i
don't even know what to say thank you
for finally remembering me diana i
understand you're mad please accept my
offer and let me make it up to you
thinking about my life with my family
this wasn't really a hard decision i
said yes and just like that my life
turned upside down i moved in got
enrolled in an amazing school and had
every luxury at my feet also it turned
out that the doctors were wrong and my
dad got better after a year i got to
know him better and he soon became my
favorite person years passed and i
graduated from high school one day i was
in the kitchen when i heard a voice from
behind me it was mom when she saw me she
went down on her knees and started
crying like a little baby diana my
daughter please have mercy on your mommy
mom please get up and what's wrong i
need a kidney you know how hard it is to
get a donor these days and i can't wait
for years i'm really sick and i might
die soon my darling mom i'm really sorry
to hear that but i can't donate my
kidney maybe selena can no no that's not
what i'm here for i have a donor it's

condition that you marry him he's still
so in love with you mom are you crazy
i'm supposed to marry him for a kidney
not forever just say yes and after the
surgery you can leave come on babe

started crying again and my heart went
out to her i didn't want her to die
because of me so i agreed to marry zack
and said i'd divorce him right after the
surgery dad didn't support my decision
and kept trying to talk me out of it but
i said if i don't help her i'll blame
myself forever she is my mom after all
but on my wedding day i was a mess as i
was sitting in my wedding dress and
bawling my eyes out mom barged in why
are you crying who cries on their
wedding day mom just get lost is this
how you talk to your mom rude girl she
was about to spit at my face when i
pushed her away and ran out of the room
it all felt like a big stupid mistake i
didn't love zach and i didn't want to
marry him just then i spotted mom and
selena from a distance and it looked
like they were fighting what was going
on with those two seconds later my phone
beeped and i got a message from selena
diana mom's lying zach is a professional
thief now and he's really wealthy he
said if mom made you marry him he would
give her a fortune she faked everything
i was involved in this too but seeing
your sad face right now is killing me

couldn't believe it my mom wanted to
literally sell me how awful could she
possibly be i left my wedding and ran
away to dad my mom is evil and she hates
