His claim

I feel suffocated being seated in the car with the seat belt wrapped around me. I was quietly Looking out the window watching the trees pass by. Change, What is change? I was very familiar with it. It happens all my life, I can never stay in one place for too long My life was completely in my father's hands. He never asks before making decisions regarding me, he just does it without my consent. Here I was for the 5th time moving again. We moved the first time because of his new job offer, the second time because of his gambling problem, the third time because of his drinking problem, the fourth time I guess sadly because of my mother's death, the fifth time again his new job offer. I don't regret my mother dying honestly, she was a piece of s**t, I hated her ass. Always being a selfish b***h. She's the whole reason why my dad got into drinking and all that illegal gambling. My father was madly in love with my mother, they were high school sweethearts. After graduating they decided to move out of their parent's place and start living together. Then they ended up having me (yay me). My mother is a cheater and a liar. She was playing the f**k out of my dad and he was too blinded by love to notice that. While she was in a relationship with my dad she was also out there dating other men and using them for money. After my dad found out she argued with him saying that she was just doing it for the money and nothing else, my dad didn't agree with her. Every time she comes home with stacks of money I would always sit at the staircase and watch them fight. My dad told her that he would work extra hard to provide her twice the money that she was getting from those other guys. I was too young to know about money but I'm pretty sure we weren't broke, we had a house, stacked with food, furniture, and every living necessity. My mom only wanted the money to dress and make herself look good. She was a greedy selfish b***h. God every time I think about her I just want to throw up. My dad started gambling after he went out to a party and got lucky, he won about $80,000. Thinking that he knows the game and is undefeated he started doing it more and each time, he loses harder than the last. My dad claims that this time moving to a new place was gonna be very different. But... We're moving to a strangers' home. He got a job offer from the company owner of his old job place. "Is everything okay sie (note: this is short for sierra, you can pronounce it as sigh.) Oh now you care "Yes, I'm fine," I said, dismissing him and staring out the window. "You're such a good liar that I'm not sure if you're telling the truth or the opposite". I can hear the bitterness in his tone but I'm gonna ignore it, I don't wanna start any more problems. "Well Henry" he snapped his angry eyes at me as a warning "I mean Dad, look, I'm not saying that you're not a good worker or anything but, don't you think it's weird? You were at the bottom and now Mr. Armsberg gave you this big ass promotion. Not only that, it's so far away" I said, raising both my hands up in defeat. "It's not far, darling, and I've had a good relationship with Mr. Armsberg don't you remember him and his kids?" "What makes you think I'll remember things when I was a little girl I don't even remember what I ate this morning," I said rolling my eyes and he chuckled. Mr. Armsberg is an old friend of my dad. To others, It might not seem that suspicious as they'll take it as an old friend helping out his friend and daughter, but to me it is, not only is the job paying well but he gave me a full scholarship to one of his colleges, like what?? Also, he's letting me and my dad stay at their house also. I refuse to f*****g believe it, there has to be a catch honestly. Like where was he this whole time? Once I turn 18 he wanna show up out of nowhere "wanting to help" It isn't adding up, doing all of this and there's no catch to it There has to be. "It's all in your head," he said, shaking his head disapprovingly. "Dad it's suspicious, but whatever," I don't remember much about Mr. Armsberg and his son. I wasn't interested in their lives. His son was always the quiet type so him and I didn't talk much for me to even remember his name, but I do remember his daughter though, Isabel, I've always had a crush on her since I was little. The second time my parents had moved we were staying at this country place and Isabel and her family came there to visit because they were gonna buy the land, that's how my dad met them, and I guess he got to know my dad because he was showing them around the town. Isabel and I would always stay behind to play while Mr. Armsbergs son always followed his dad around. We became very good friends in those two weeks, but when they moved away I lost contact with her. She never left my mind I wonder how she's doing She's probably even more prettier than I remember, I mean, of course she is, she's grown now. She's one of the reasons why I'm even moving with my dad When we make it over there I'm going to make my move on her. Hopefully, she likes girls too. I'll be sad if she rejects me "Sierra, please try to be nice to them, this is a great opportunity for us, Okay, and I won't tolerate you ruining anything" He said in a serious tone as we started pulling up to their gates "Okay dad, I won't ruin your life," I said in a sarcastic tone looking at him under my lashes "I'm serious this is the beginning of a new and better life, I know you are mad at me but just get over it, you're going to a new college a new house, meeting new people what more could you ask for" Alright enough with the goody talks "Fine" he looked at me then looked back at the road. Damn this is a long way to the house after we entered those Gates. We've been driving for 5 minutes now. I finally saw the house coming into view and Jesus The house was beautiful It's not even a house but a mansion, or a castle. Looking out at the gold water fountains I just knew that they're filthy rich Maybe I was thinking too much into this They have money so probably he does want to help out an old friend. My dad parked the car in the big parking garage I'm guessing because there are like 13 cars parked out there. My dad turned off the car and turned to face me "this is it sierra, remember what I said" he said and got out without a reply, I did the same "Mr. Armsberg! Hi, how are you" "Oh please Henry call me Richard we've been over this," he said smiling brightly at my dad and pulled him into a bro hug. I must say for a man his age Mr. Armsberg is really handsome and well built. "Words can't describe how grateful my daughter and I are to you," my dad said, pulling me closer to him. He turned his head and his eyes landed on me "Ah yes, our little girl sierra, my mistake, you're a big girl now," he said chuckling I didn't think s**t was funny but I let out a small awkward smile "How are you daughter," he said and pulled me into a hug Daughter?? Yeah that's a no, he gotta go "I'm good Mr. Armsberg" "You can call me Richard or dad" "I only have one dad," I said with a little bit of sass and went over to my father What the f**k is wrong with that old man And why the hell is my dad not saying anything about that. He chuckled and said "let's go" As Mr. Armsberg turned around to walk away my dad grabbed my arm harshly "Seriously, you're already starting" he whispers yelled in my ear "he was just joking around" "No he wasn't, that s**t was weird, and I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound so rude" I pulled my hands away from him. Just as we turned around Mr. Armsberg was standing there looking at us "a little bit of warning, stone doesn't like people touching what belongs to him" he said glaring down at my father's hand that was holding onto me. Who the hell is stone? And what did we touch that was his? The ground? I laughed in my head at my joke thinking it's funny. "Yes yes, of course, come on sie," my dad said walking forward. So we're gonna dismiss what that man said? Alright, I'm gonna stop being the only one who's always thinking rationally. We followed him around and He showed us half of the house, it was way too big. He showed us where my dad would be staying, on the second floor while he stayed on the third floor. I was confused because I wanted to stay close to my dad and he didn't tell me where I would stay yet. I don't want to be rude like my dad warned me about so I kept my mouth shut and just follow after them. We left the first mansion and went to his car. He said he was taking us to another mansion that was still in the same estate. Seriously, How rich are these people? "This land was bought by my family years ago and it can fit at least 3 houses". We got in one of Mr. Armsbergs cars and he drove us for about 8 minutes before I finally see another big mansion if not even bigger than the last one where my dad would be staying. He still didn't say where I would sleep so I'm guessing I'll be staying with my dad. "Alright Sierra, you will be staying in this house on the third floor. My daughter is gonna be in the second. Come I'll show you your room" he said walking inside the house Why is my dad not saying anything about this? Weirdly, I have to be so far away from him, maybe only his daughter lives here so he's trying to make me more comfortable with her. I look around the beautiful house that was decorated in such an elegant theme that I never thought I would ever get to imagine due to my status. I thought places like this only exist in movies. "If you don't feel like walking those gigantic stairs we always have the elevator" he said and we walked inside it. We made it to the third floor this place looks like it can fit up a whole family of 10 "Alright Sierra this is your room," he said, stopping in front of a door but not opening it. "Am I the only one staying on this floor?" I said and my dad's head snapped towards me and he glared down at me, warning me. I just asked a question, what is his problem? Mr. Armsberg only looked down at me, "well do you want to?" "No I just wanted to know, it seems quiet" he chuckled and said "We'll let you settle down," he said and turned around to walk away, still not answering my question. My dad turned to face me "I'm not gonna warn you again Sierra, don't f**k this up with your Brady behavior" what the f**k is happening "I didn't even do anything" he ignored me and walked out to Mr. Armsberg who was waiting in the elevator. Before the door could close Mr. Armsberg looked out and gave me this sinister smile. What is that all about? ********** Hey everyone!
