moving to another home it's always chaos
and a headache hey diamond swan to the
other wall i don't care if it's six feet
tall just do your job
here we go again the servants are being
stupid
it seems like all poor people are
it seems like all poor people are stupid
i even had to sue the company yesterday
who made me a custom convertible the car
cost almost a billion bucks and they got
the wrong color and i don't care that i
gave them the wrong color my money my
rules as i say so be it
oh by the way my name is grace and this
is my story about how my mom kept it
from me for years that my dad was a
billionaire
yeah mom almost ruined my life with her
lies i don't remember my father at all
all i remembered was people coming to
the house and even the police and my
mother was crying and so for years on
end
one day she was even taken away
somewhere and i was left with my
grandmother
and then we moved lots of times
i didn't understand what was going on
but my mother explained it to me
she told me that my father was an
astronaut and he was on the first secret
expedition to mars no one ever came back
from that expedition and all these
people in suits and cops were trying to
figure out the mystery of their
disappearance that's the truth i lived
with for years the only memory i have of
my dad is a paper swan because my dad
was a real superhero and he was always
in the shadows no one honored us as a
hero family
we lived poor without any benefits from
nasa and i couldn't tell anyone that my
dad was an astronaut
because of that i was an outsider in
school for a long time i was considered
a loser because i was into space not the
fashion and life of dumb bloggers who
can only make faces on camera honestly i
wasn't really interested in money what
is money in the face of the universe
when i told that to my classmates they
were fascinated by my naivety and
stupidity they locked me in the bathroom
they chalked me up threw balls right at
my head threw my backpack out the window
but i didn't care i stood my ground i'd
still be aiming for the stars instead of
money and fame if i hadn't stumbled
across this blogger
he was talking about space and i got
curious
as i learned more and more about the
blogger i couldn't tear myself away from
his videos and how rich he was and his
apartment it was just a dream
i avidly watched his luxurious life
and my world began to change the stars
in the sky began to pale and green crisp
dollar bills beckoned to me i wanted to
be rich no matter what
my mother was afraid of such a change in
my character she said money was evil
what do you know mom look around we're
poor
grace we're middle class we have all the
necessities mom reassured me and i want
my own pool i want my own tv
honey it's just trinkets
i wouldn't listen to her excuses and
went to my room
over time i got an inflatable pool in
the yard and a small tv in my room but i
wasn't satisfied with my mom's handouts
and one day my life shattered into a
hundred pieces and the murky glass
turned into a kaleidoscope of color
on my 17th birthday i pretended to be
sick and stayed at home i wasn't
expecting guests but suddenly the
doorbell rang no one was on the doorstep
but there was a big box on the porch i
noticed a note happy birthday daughter i
wish i could see you i hope you like
these presents as much as the previous
ones your daddy i couldn't stand on my
feet in shock
daddy
how is that possible is this a prank
i didn't open the box because i thought
it might be a paint bomb or a toy rat
my idiot classmates definitely did it
they blew up my cake once it blew up
into pieces splattering all over the
place
but i couldn't find my place what if my
dad's alive
what if my mother had been lying to me
all this time
why did she tell me so little about him
why are there no pictures of him
so i decided to open the gift box after
all and i was shocked
brand clothes a diamond necklace and a
small money case
when my mom came home with a used laptop
i greeted her with my dad's gifts and a
very angry face
who is my father
where is he
gracie there must be some mistake
mom was confused you've been deceiving
me for years at least tell me the truth
now
no she blurted out he's a horrible man
grace i'll never speak of him
what about the presence where are the
other presents from him there were no
presents he doesn't want you out of
spite i went to my room screaming at my
mother that i hated her
i twirled the paper swan in my hands
that my father had once made for me
who was he
i didn't even know his real name
there's not a single piece of him in the
house but fate apparently decided to
punish my mother for lying
some men in suits came to see us again
we're looking for miss heckers we have
information that she resides here
it's my mother i answered confused the
men looked at each other in surprise
are you the youngest hookers adam
hecker's daughter do you know my dad the
earth slipped from under my feet the two
men immediately called someone and
reported into the phone we found her
and then he arrived
my heart froze
i was speechless
my father
at first sight i knew it was him he and
i looked a lot alike
of course to prove it he showed me a lot
of family photos that i'd been dying to
find from my mom
grace honey i can't believe i found you
dad hugged me and i finally burst into
tears of joy why did you leave us
why did it take you so long to find me
gracie it's not that simple i didn't
even know your name we named you alice
when you were born but your mother
changed your name she changed hers too
by the way you moved around so much and
changed your papers that even my agents
couldn't find you
but you sent a gift
i felt like i was being deceived again
gifts were sent to every possible
address where you were being searched
every one of them was bugged that's how
we found you
i couldn't get it all out of my head
my dad totally threw me for a loop
he left the family because mom tried to
take his billions away from him
my dad's a billionaire my dad won the
trial tried to take me away but my mom
ran away with me he spent all those
years looking for me and my mom lied to
me and hid me so he wouldn't get me it
was her revenge can you imagine what was
going through my head i was so emotional
i could hardly control it i was crying
and and then i laughed when my father
asked me to go with him i agreed yes
just like that but what would you have
done in my place i'm sure you wouldn't
put up with my mother's lies anymore
when my mother came home i was gone
there was a note from my father and i
waiting for her on the table
and so now we're back at the beginning
of my story where i moved into my new
home i very quickly fell into rich life
and fulfilled all my dreams everything
changed so fast it was like i was living
in a fairy tale
everything i wanted was coming true
one two foot diamond swan was worth it
gracie that swan surprised even me dad
grinned as he looked at the statue it's
instead of your paper swan i pressed
against him with a smile my swan
oh yes that's right i forgot he chuckled
nervously he must have remembered my
mother's betrayal she tried to find me
by the way but it was too late i even
quit school oh i made a scene
first i put on a show by starting my
space talk again they locked me in the
bathroom again and threw wet rags on me
beforehand and then my personal
bodyguards showed up in the end all my
abusers were crawling on the bathroom
floor wrapped in toilet paper chalked up
and doused with soapy water and then i
snuck into the teacher's lounge and
announced over the speaker phone that i
was quitting the school
buy losers and yes your school sucks
and finally a helicopter landed in front
of the school and out of it came kayla
barron a spacex astronaut herself
best day of my life
but there was a dark spot on this
paradise though my father's business
partners looked at me strangely
sometimes their looks were so
sympathetic i felt like i was terminally
ill and when one of my father's
secretaries called me a poor girl i
couldn't understand it and went to him
for an explanation
oh that
yes they just feel sorry for you you've
lived your whole life in poverty with a
liar mother phew and i was afraid don't
be scared daughter you were the queen of
this world with me
by the way who was that secretary let me
see her father suddenly became nervous
and angry
but it was understandable the constant
lawsuits from my mother had taken their
toll on his nerves but with his
connections it wasn't much of a problem
mom however did find me
and unfortunately i was without guards i
didn't even recognize her skinny with
bags under her eyes it was horrible
mom i took a step back but she grabbed
my arm
daughter listen to me he's a liar
yeah who are you saying that to grace or
alice what other name can you think up
for me
grace he's dangerous
let's talk please honey mom suddenly
dropped to her knees
i didn't see that coming
i was so embarrassed i couldn't say no
mom told me a different story my parents
hadn't lived together long it was a
fling and a spontaneous wedding but when
dad found out mom was pregnant he
decided to run away and found someone
else that's why mom went to court she
wanted some of dad's money that belonged
to her and me but dad had connections so
he won the trial then he threatened us
and told us to disappear dad only
remembered me when his evil empire
failed he needed a relative in a hurry
to rewrite the unstable and failing
stock into his name
that's why they called me poor i would
have gone to jail for that kind of debt
and fraud i would have gone to jail for
the rest of my life and you know what i
did i ran away again just like dad did
when we needed him my mother and i
settled far from civilization in the
texas desert surviving as best we could
hiding from my dad's spies oh yes he was
furious and i was tormented with shame
and fear mom had been two parents at
once my whole life
she made me that paper swan bought me
presents with the last bit of money all
my life my mother took care of me even
if she was lying to me but it was a lie
for good
we forgave each other for everything
one day on the news we heard about my
father's bankruptcy he had lost his
power and we were able to return home
and there was a dizzying surprise
waiting for us since i am his only
relative part of my father's savings
went not only to the state but also to
me
now my mom and i are going to live like
we are in a fairy tale so guys don't
lose your head over the money and don't
make any hasty decisions that you might
regret would you be able to forgive a
lie that lasts a lifetime
