---- "You traitor, taking their side against your own sister. Inever should've had you!" Iheld my face, staring at my mother in shock. If they hated me that much, what was left for me there? "Name your terms. What will it take for you to let me go? You never wanted me, and I sure don't want you as my parents!" My father was fuming, sleeves rolled up and ready to lay into me, but Holly grabbed his wrist, stopping him in his tracks. "You said it yourself! 100,000 dollars. We've raised you all these years, and we've easily spent that much on you! Pay us back, and we're square!" In fact, they had always been heartless to me. I spent my whole life wearing her hand-me-downs and eating whatever scraps were left. Honestly, they would not have treated a farm animal that badly. ---- The only real expense was my high school tuition for which I had to beg for all night on my knees. Teeth gritted, I declared, "Alright! 100,000 dollars it is! Once I've paid you, I'm no longer part of the Shaw family!" I took Anthony's hand and we left without a backward glance. Holly's yelling did not make me miss a step. "Yasmine, I can help you get the 100,000 dollars," Anthony offered. "Don't worry about me, I've got it covered. Tomorrow, we'll head to Darak Island, and I'll have the money in six months, guaranteed!" Anthony watched me, my determination shining through, and he seemed lost in thought for a moment. Then, he said with conviction, "Okay, I trust you. You'll make it happen."
