My stepfather is a jerk
On my 18th birthday, instead of cake or presents, my stepfather demanded rent. It wasn’t surprising for a man like him, who was constantly plotting and looking for ways to enrich himself.He had no idea that the house belonged to me, as it had been left by my true father after his tragic death six years earlier. My stepfather, unaware of this, considered me as nothing more than another burden to profit from. But I had an unexpected plan that would transform everything in our household. What I did next was so unexpected that it drastically altered the power dynamic in our home.

Making a false smile for him
I chose to remain calm when my stepfather requested rent on my birthday. Instead of becoming angry or frustrated, I took a long breath and nodded. “Give me a few days to gather the money,” I informed you. This remark appeared to satisfy him for the time being, and he exited the room with his typical smug grin. Staying cool allowed me the time I needed to perfect my plan without arousing suspicion.
