I’m Daisy an 18-year-old University student from Florida my parents divorced when I was 12 and I’ve resided with my mom ever since last year my father succumbed to cancer which was profoundly challenging for me because we were really close he left me a significant amount of money in his will but I could only access it once I turned 18 this year I finally turned 18 and something really crazy happened to me to be honest I still can’t believe how everything turned out one day my stepdad Arlo who’s in his mid-40s and has been
married to my mom for 5 years called me into his room we’ve never had the best relationship but I’ve tried to be civil with him however he hasn’t always been nice to me anyway he said hey Daisy I need to talk to you about something important I asked him what it was and he brought up the money my dad left me he said that I should give it to my stepbrother David because he needed it for his college education he wanted to go to university just like me and Arlo thought I should hand over the inheritance money to him I
was shocked by what I heard I couldn’t believe that Arlo was asking me to give away my own money I told him I don’t think I can do that Arlo this money was left to me by my dad what if I need it in the future Arlo didn’t agree with me and said don’t be silly you don’t need that money and even if you do David needs it more I firmly replied I’m sorry but the answer is no Arlo got angry and warned me Daisy don’t push me I told him calmly there’s no need to get angry I answered your question honestly saying no isn’t meant to
disrespect you it’s about setting boundaries I’m standing my ground and if you’re getting mad because I said no you need to think about your attit itude Arlo don’t forget you’re a guest in this house too so let’s be civil well I don’t think that’s going to happen goodbye I said before he could say anything else Arlo’s Behavior didn’t surprise me at all given his past actions I knew he’d eventually ask me for the money you might be wondering where my mom was during all of this well that’s another story my mom didn’t seem to see Arlo’s
flaws she stood by him no matter what almost like she was under a spell she loved me but I didn’t want to ruin her view of him so I tried to get along with Arlo for her sake it’s strange how even though I was one of the youngest in the house I often had to act the most mature my mom Rose was out of town at the time which is why she wasn’t here if she were she’d have been Furious that’s why Arlo felt like he could boss me around but little did he know I was on to his sneaky plans Arlo followed me out of the room scolding me
and calling me a bad sister because I didn’t want to give money to David which wasn’t true I do want to help David stop being such a burden when people say like father like son they might be talking about David and Arlo these two troublemakers are like Pinky and the Brain you can decide who’s who based on what happened next hey don’t walk away while I’m talking you need to listen and do what’s right Arlo can you give me a good reason for that well it’s what’s going on with you too your arguing woke me up David tell Daisy about what we
talked about earlier sure what was it again oh right the inheritance money yeah Daisy dad and I were talking and we demand this money because of that important thing we talked about you mean the business right what business you said this money was for my University tuition Arlo yeah that’s because that’s what it’s for right David yes yes I completely forgot I just woke up you know yes it’s for University I have an interest in attending University and I demand the money for myself thanks well that’s a cute attempt
but not cute enough the answer is no why not Daisy he knows what he wants this wasn’t up for discussion we’re getting that money we’ll see about that the rest of the evening was filled with tension while Arlo was known for his silly pranks and attempts to test my patience this new effort to annoy me was quite unusual I met a really immature and selfish person this situation was pretty big but I didn’t want to tell my mom about it yet I wanted to keep dealing with them especially after I found out this Daisy stop playing around you need
to be a grown-up and do the right thing huh and the right thing is giving away my money are you okay Arlo just wait until I tell Mom don’t tell Rose anything why not she’s my mom she deserves to know how I’m being treated you think she cares listen I’m just trying to help you if you bring this up to her she’ll get upset at you for wasting her time and being selfish well Arlo that’s a risk I’m willing to take I’m warning you don’t tell your mother his angry tone surprised me I had never seen him so worked up especially over something like
this something was going on especially with that business idea David let slip they think I’m not smart enough to catch on and Arlo is acting so strongly against against me talking to my mom about it I talked to my mom as soon as I could hey Mom how are you doing I’m good baby how about you not very well Mom something’s off with Arlo and David especially Arlo he’s acting weirder than usual oh Daisy don’t be paranoid I know you don’t really like him but he’s not weird mom he asked me for the inheritance money what really actually he demanded to get
the money both him and David that’s not true he wouldn’t do that I know you love him mom for whatever reason but this is true he said it’s for David’s education but I think something fishy is going on he even got pretty aggressive when I told him I’d tell you what he said to me I don’t know baby I just feel like I need more proof don’t worry I’ll get all the proof just wait and see even though my mom wasn’t ready to fully believe me yet I kept telling you that man Put a Spell on her I was still determined to
figure out this strange Behavior late at night I used the family computer and found something shocking luckily it seemed Arlo forgot to log out of his email that was a big mistake I saw something very concerning Arlo had been sending emails to a lady named Bella these emails weren’t nice at all it looked like he was having an affair I took notes on what I found but the next thing I found was even crazier the emails talked about Arlo divorcing my mom and running away with her he said they’d get a lot of money soon for some
business but from what I read it seemed like a shady business Arlo isn’t dumb enough to put illegal stuff in his emails but he’s dumb enough to have an affair and forget to log out I knew I needed to gather more info and I thought I could maybe get something out of David so the next day I talked to David with my phone recording our conversation hey David hello Daisy you seem happy today why not it’s a beautiful day I have some questions for you I’ve been thinking about what you and Arlo said and I’m thinking about
giving you the money really that’s great I’ll let him know not so fast before I give you this money it is for your college right oh yeah right my college tuition yes right anyways I need to be sure you’re serious about getting this money yes I’m very serious are you sure and Bella is she serious Bella who’s Bella oh she’s um a student adviser for the college David and I were scared we didn’t know Arlo had come into the room I don’t appreciate you interrogating my son I wasn’t doing that I was just asking how my money would be used well once you
give someone money it’s not yours anymore so it’s not your business is that any way to speak to someone who’s thinking of giving you money you’re not thinking you’re giving me that money if you don’t I’ll kick you out I was shocked and it seemed like David was too dad this wasn’t part of shut up I’m the parent and I make the rules if you don’t give me that inheritance money you can leave I decided not to say anything little did Arlo know I was still recording this conversation I had caught him in the ACT I walked out of the room shooting Arlo
an angry look and locked myself in my room I started collecting all the evidence I could find against him it felt like those detectives on TV who gather Clues and put them up on their walls I had voice recordings and screenshots of Arlo’s conversations with Bella I prepared myself for the upcoming storm after I had everything I called my mom hello Mom hey hey love how are you Mom are you sitting down why what’s wrong I’m afraid I have some really bad news to share and you won’t like it I began telling my mom everything I had
discovered she kept denying it until I made her listen to the audio recording I had made earlier at that point she started to crumble why would he say those things to you why would he do that to me why would he be so cruel because he’s a bad man I’m sorry to say it but you married a monster this is just terrible I can’t believe I left you alone with those two sickos absolutely not I’m coming home right now you stay where you are have you locked your door yes ma’am I’m going to ruin that man and make sure he never
shows his face in public again when I’m done with him he’ll wish he never married me that’s the spirit mom now hurry up and get home we need to make a plan my mom arrived several hours later and came straight to my room we hugged and cried for what felt like ours I could tell that this news was tough to hear but I was glad she was in the angry stage because it motivated her to take action we talked for hours and by the end we had a plan several days passed and Arlo couldn’t figure out why my mom had come home early from her work
trip and why she was ignoring him he acted very happy almost too happy to convince her of his innocence however she saw through his act and was ready to kick him out my mom decided to hire a private investigator after I showed her the suspicious messages about his supposed business she also felt strongly that the money wasn’t going to be used for legal purposes this made her furious because she couldn’t understand how a parent could be so cruel and scheming she knew we couldn’t handle this situation on our own
the private investigator shared the findings with my mom who then told me I’m speechless what did the investigator find well it turns out he’s planning to use a laundromat for money laundering it’s an old trick wow that’s not all is it no it’s not this woman Bella whom he’s cheating on me with has a criminal record for drug rated activities she’s been arrested multiple times for conspiracy to sell illegal substances so it wouldn’t be surprising if their business involves drugs too that’s unbelievable I would have never expected
this I feel like a veil has been lifted from my eyes now I can see that the man I married isn’t a man at all but a sick and twisted person when are we going to confront him mom right now follow my lead wait let me get my camera we went to the living room and found David and Arlo discussing their Shady business and then we’ll have to use this as a cover for our business it’s all going to be hidden just act like you don’t know and serve the customers okay but what about oh hey everyone we’re just finalizing stuff for David’s college
application cut the ACT Arlo the game is up we know everything what do you mean your innocent act won’t work anymore smile for the camera get that out of my face you spoiled brat I mean Daisy we know everything Arlo do you know how many years you’d spend in jail for planning these crimes I don’t know what you’re talking about maybe we should call Bella and see what she has to say huh you two think you know everything Bella is just a friend well the explicit photos suggest otherwise who even uses emails to cheat
nowadays it’s so dumb you to went through my things how dare you no Arlo how dare you how dare you threaten my daughter multiple times to give you money that doesn’t belong to you how dare you threaten to kick her out of my house are you sick in the head how dare you put your son in your foolish schemes endangering him and how dare you you plan to use this money for illegal activities now you’ve got nothing to say huh we know everything and we’re going to take you down get that camera out of my face Arlo tried to Lunge at me but I
moved too quickly his aggressive behavior was scary you want to attack my daughter it’s like you want to go to prison you’re crazy do you think you know anything you know nothing yeah well tell that to the police who should be here any second now police yes the police your behavior today makes me not want to call the cops especially with how you’re acting at that moment we heard police sirens approaching our neighborhood I had never seen Arlo look this way before he was always smirking like he was smarter than
everyone else but when he heard those Sirens it was like all the color drained from his face he looked terrified please Rose you don’t have to do this I could explain everything save it for the judge you cockroach you disgust me and my David don’t think you’re off the hook for this both of you are getting arrested that should teach you a lesson about mistreating my daughter and me I know you’re a kid but you’re old enough to know better and for that you need to be punished yes mom come on Jasmine don’t you think all of this is a bit too much
on the contrary it’s not enough how’s our live stream Daisy we’ve got over 3,000 people watching the live stream this this is going to be big oh and in case it wasn’t clear I want a divorce that’s right folks over 3,000 people witnessed the whole mess and surely enough the news made it to local newspapers and tabloids it was crazy to be in the middle of all this with my sick ex- stepfather and his son but it was also satisfying to see his downfall he lost his job his friends and even some family members who don’t want to speak with him anymore
he’s facing charges for all these schemes and if the judge sees fit he could spend up to 20 years behind bars just for this the police also found Bella who had been in hiding when all of this was blowing up she’s facing the same charges life was good on our side though my mom and I grew closer due to this situation on weekends we’d often relax on the patio drinks in hand and laugh at how foolish and evil Arlo was good riddance good ridd indeed
