How I Met My Father

I now declare you divorced no I know what you're thinking Emma 50% of marriages and in divorce don't be so dramatic wrong this percentage is so outdated it's 80% now also I'm not upset because my parents are getting a divorce but because wait wait I'm getting ahead of myself let me start from the beginning and make sure you like this video And subscribe to MSA I was born in a very poor country but luckily my parents were entrepreneurial geniuses they built a business Empire early on so I Never Had A Taste of real poverty like

others here and was practically raised with a Golden Spoon in my mouth mom doed on me and was super attentive but Dad wasn't around much so we'd never grown close and when I was 11 he just announced out of the blue that he wanted a divorce and was moving to the US he left just like that without even paying child support the most traumatic part was that he took our wealth and my lifestyle with him and I had to eventually give up all the expensive stuff that had made me who I was what do you

mean let's go eat hot dogs in the park we're not hobos should we be sleeping on park benches next and using newspapers for blankets I'm just saying we can hang out and not spend money all the time but apparently we couldn't and that's the first time I noticed I had no real friends around me I switched to a public school which was so stinky and embarrassing can I have one lcal Lobster please oh yes of course my lady 1 second oops guess we ran out of those mashed potatoes and greasy chicken on Mondays remember it

it was a hard reality check but over time I learned a lot and got really Street Smart do you have seafood today meshed potatoes and greasy chicken on Monday's Sweet Pea remember it by the time I graduated from high school I was a strong Savage girl who would not let anyone cross her I had saved up for a flight to the US and I was ready for Revenge daddy here I come dad was the owner of a huge restaurant chain here so he was easy to locate wasn't sure exactly what I was going to do

yet but I wanted to get close and find some dirt on him that I could use and even though I was 99.9% sure he wouldn't recognize me I'd still gotten a serious makeover to avoid the risk hi I'm Emily are you looking for waitresses yes we are hiring we'd be happy to try you out then so I began working there with no clear plan in sight I just knew a salary didn't qualify for revenge or even child support one day as I was polishing the cutlery in the kitchen I heard Katie crying while she was

on the phone with someone who was clearly yelling at her poor Katie her husband is a nut job this happens often why is he yelling at her it's probably something to do with work he is the boss after all the boss as in yep that's his wife wife he remarried I must have fainted cuz the next thing I knew I was lying on the floor and Colin was checking my pulse gee you scared me what happened I said Katie was the boss's wife and you went pale and fainted so you tell me what happened oh

I think I just didn't drink enough water today that's all um sure okay Colin and I became the closest co-workers he sort of became like a guardian angel to me your lunch today has all the nutrition you need can't have you faint in my kitchen again although although what well I haven't performed CPR in ages I might need a refreshment course you know that doesn't count as a kiss right it only makes you a creep Emily you pervert how dare you go there I was merely suggesting you help me practice a life saving technique ha

haa Colin you know if you want you can ask me out like a normal human being as I was walking back home that evening grinning from ear to ear that I finally had a boyfriend who seemed to like me for me I remember that he actually didn't know the real me he didn't know my name was Emma or that our boss was my dad over the next few weeks I kept looking for an opportunity to tell them but there never seemed to be a right time one day Katie told us there was an extra shift

available for a waitress at their house because they were hosting a party and I jumped at the opportunity Bingo as I entered their mansion that evening I felt a sense of nostalgia and the realization dawned on me Dad's life hadn't stopped or changed like mine after he'd moved on he didn't actually lose anything for him mom and I were just a pit stop magnificent isn't it oh hey yeah it really is when we went inside Katie welcomed us warmly she was always kind but in her home she seemed more warm and maternal it felt like

we were guests not employees kids come show Emily around and put her bag in the locker rooms hey Emily nice to meet you hi as they showed me around I felt like they were living the life that was stolen from me what a lovely house oh you've won so many math and art competitions I see did your mom take you to all of these both Mom and Dad they never miss a competition oh Dad too that's nice my dad never took me to anything oh I'm sorry Emily I'm sure he was just busy dad is

busy sometimes but he always makes it up to us so he did know how to be a real dad what did these kids have that I didn't why couldn't he love me like he loved them I sat in the locker room alone staring at the wall and just overthinking every memory I had of us when Colin came in and suddenly I just burst into tears Emily what's wrong Colin I have to tell you something and I found myself spilling my whole story and the reason I came to work for Dad I spared no detail Colin's

mouth had dropped to the floor he was silent for a few seconds after I finished then looked up at me honestly good for you what you're not upset that I lied to you no one knows this but my real name is Samson I hated it and hated my parents too so I changed it and I left home at 18 I wouldn't say the real me is Samson who was an angry teen at home Colin is who I choose to be every day so that's who I really am he was so right the decisions I made

daily were What defined me you know what he deserves anything bad that comes his way I want in [Music] silent Moon let heart peace whisper flow night a blanket so still stop Bing to will in the shadows we fall Sparks the light of the [Music] PO in the shadows we find [Music] whisper secrets and TW cross the weakness lost in this Str mystery calls through the night hearts that take flight motion so tight [Music] o [Music] call through the night hearts that take motion so tight [Music] [Music] [Laughter] during the party I managed to slip

for a couple of minutes into dad's office I wanted to find something I could use against him so I scanned the room well to make myself familiar with it then left since it was the holiday season I'd have plenty of waitressing opportunities at his house to sneak in again I noticed that he had a safe in his office and every time I snuck in I tried every possible four-digit combination I could think of his kid's birthdays his wife's his own but nothing worked until one day I randomly tried my birthday and the lock clicked open

wow now that's a surprise did he still think about me maybe he did love me for a minute I felt guilty and didn't want to go on with my plan but then I remembered if he actually loved me he would have recognized me by now now so no he probably used my birthday because it was the last thing anyone would ever know or think of thanks again Daddy inside I saw piles and piles of money I wanted to snatch it all and run back home but I knew that only works in movies instead I started

stealing small portions I did not feel any guilt dad was plain awful to everyone around him including his own wife then one day he surprised us with a visit at the restaurant what are you doing here dear well it's my restaurant isn't it I'm here to check if everything is running smoothly that's what I'm here for why can't you let me run the restaurant without constantly trying to control everything listen here pretty face I know you got bored as a housewife and you want to play manager but I have real work to do here so

why don't you go for a stroll as I check everything out no this is UN I wasn't asking Katie stormed out of the restaurant on the verge of tears as he continued to check everything up close everyone was terrified of him especially me you over there me this was the first time he had spoken to me directly in years yes what's your name I felt sweaty and tongue tied but then I felt Colin moving and standing behind me he put his hand on my shoulder to let me know he had my back em Emily sir

Emily are you new here been here a few months now sir I just then two Shady looking men walked into the restaurant and saved me from the investigation dad left me alone and followed them into a small room at the back of the restaurant sometime later the head cook was called in two and when he walked out he looked flustered an hour later dad and the Shady men came out of the room shook hands and then all of them left what's that all about I'll try to find out later that night I just couldn't fall

asleep my dad had looked me in the eye talked to me and he didn't recognize me at all how do you recover from that the next day Colin came rushing to to me looking ready to burst Emma we got it really what did you find out yesterday he made a deal to import illegal Seafood he wants to use that in dishes without disclosing it to customers the head chef and Sue Chef are in on it I overheard them talking bingo I knew he'd be up to something crooked now we have to think of a plan

to expose him I wanted to teach him a lesson and also see if he would flee and leave his new family when things got rough for him but later that day his kids came in for lunch and they had prepared holiday gifts for the staff my gift had a special drawing of Me no one else had one oh that's thank you it's lovely the kids love you Emily they keep saying how you treat them like normal kids not the boss's kids when she said this I had a flashback to my own childhood a lonely spoiled

kid with no real friends no one treated me like a normal kid when he was around just a few days later when I was working at his house again Dad came barging into the kitchen furiously he had discovered that someone had been stealing from his safe count your days whoever you are did you think that a house this big doesn't have security cameras once I get the tapes it's over for you omg security cameras my face turned green and I felt nauseous what's wrong with you don't you dare puke in my kitchen I'm kind of

sick sir how often do you come to my house I've come a few times maybe you stumbled into my study found something you liked answer me excuse me sir stop stop grilling this poor girl she would never do it how can you be so sure because I've asked her to grab me things from my room a million times and she never touched any jewelry or clothes so if she wanted to steal she would have stolen a hundred different things by now everyone was staring at the three of us confused but not as confused as I

was nothing that Katie said was true why was she defending me Katie these kinds of people don't deserve your kindness well wait for the tapes in the meantime these kind of people it echoed over and over in my head how I wanted to say your daughter Flesh and Blood dad but I held my tongue I suffered that humiliation but I never showed up to the restaurant again I texted Katie that I just couldn't work there anymore I had stolen enough money but I wasn't done with my revenge yet Colin had managed to take photos of

receipts in The Cook's office and it was all the proof I needed about Dad's illegal Seafood purchases I go public and destroy him and I would enjoy it but at the same time whenever I imagined his downfall I only saw his kids being upset or hurt and every time they popped up in my head an image of my broken younger self also popped up Colin I want him to suffer badly but I feel if I go through with this I'll be putting his family through what Mom and I went through and I would feel guilty

forever I don't know what to do baby just by considering their feelings in future you are already a 100 times better than your dad it's your decision do what feels most right to you and after much consideration I decided to put the matter into someone else's hands I asked Katie to meet me at a diner that night hello Emma uh-oh that's a bad start I figured out your identity shortly after hiring you and I wondered why you had chose to work for us now I know you stole that money from us to get back at

your dad but don't worry I destroyed the tapes but then why did you defend me Emma Once I figured out who you were I dug into his history and found out everything about you and your mom your dad is a jerk he deserves this why are you with him then for the money you deserve so much better the kids deserve so much better I don't care about the money but I don't want my children to go through what you guys went through I want to wait until they're older before getting a divorce he is a

mean husband and partner but I can't deny that he is a great dad to the kids I understand but in case you change your mind take this do as you please with this information Katie's eyes grew wide as she realized I'd handed her proof against dad I didn't know about this thanks Emma a few months later I saw on the news that dad was in prison and his restaurant license had been taken away because he was importing illegal food and the same day I got a text message from Katie thanks again Emma I needed it
