Story: I Almost Become A Gold Digger

PROMPT: Tell me something about a movie, a show or a clip you watched recently.

There was a girl named Julie, she’s 20 and she especially couldn’t stand the way people took advantage of others just to get some quick cash, but it wasn’t long before she almost become one of those gold diggers that she hated so much.

The reason behind her hatred towards Gold Diggers is because her mom was one. When she was just 5 years old, her mom ditched her and her dad to marry a rich guy.

Julie can’t even recall what her mom look like, but she can still remember the day like it was just yesterday.She was screaming and begging her mom not to leave but her mom didn’t even look back.

So ever since then, it’s just been her and her dad. Julie’s dad worked really hard to make enough money to raise her alone, m but they were still poor. Her father worked on construction sites and the hours were long, so it wasn’t long before Julie’s father health started to go down hill. A lot of his money went toward medical bills and so they may do whatever was left.

This made Julie hate her mom even more, as for Julie, her mom was the worst and most selfish person in the world.

Even though life has been tough towards Julie and her dad. Her dad still encouraged Julie to focus on her education so she ended up going to college to further study Chinese, which she always been fond for.

But after one year, they couldn’t afford it anymore, so Julie decided to quit and find a job to help her dad.

She started working as a waitress, but she was pretty smart and her Chinese was good so eventually she got another job an interpreter in a big company where met John.

John was the CEO and also the person who would change Julie’s entire life. Now Julie has two jobs and even though it was exhausting, she was happy because she’s making enough money to look after her dad and also had enough left to buy gift for her boyfriend.

Julie has a boyfriend named Scott and they’ve already been dating for 2 years. Julie felt like she was the luckiest girl in the world because he was gorgeous. Julie love buying him stuff because It made Scott so happy. She thought “Finally, My life was turning around for the better”

But then everything change when she caught Scott cheating on her with an older women same age as his mom. He used his good looks to date older women just so he could get their money.

“He was as bad as my mom, nothing but a gold digger” Julie thought.

Julie bumped into them in the mall where she’d seen them holding hands and kissing. Julie felt so upset and miserable. She get away as far as possible from them. She ran out onto the street the collapsed onto the sidewalk and start crying.

When suddenly, Julie heard someone say

“Julie, What are you doing here”

She looked up and saw John the CEO standing there. She tried to stop the tears but she could, she couldn’t even speak.

John help her up and told her to get in the car and go somewhere so she could calm herself down. Then they ended up in a bar and she drank a lot. She couldn’t even stop herself.

She told John about what Scott had done to her and John comforted her and then the next moment she work up to find John lying next to her.

She was about to freak out when John look at her and smiled and said “If you hang out with me from time to time like this, I’ll subsidize everything for you so that you could go back to college and I’ll pay your tuition”

Julie was shocked, John said it had to be their secret so that his wife didn’t find out.

Julie was about to say “no way”, but the thought of being able to finish her studies and graduate made her considerate again and after all John was being sweet and Julie and her dad could really use that extra money. So the next moment Julie find herself nodding her head and the rest was history.

Julie officially become John’s secret lover, a.k.a gold digger.

After then. Julie’s life got so much easier. She went back to college and had more time to enjoy life.But at the same time, she couldn’t shake off the guilt. Especially when she thought about John’s wife. She never met John’s wife before but Julie knew from working at John’s Company that his wife named Doris and then she was the perfect wife.

Julie even found out that John and Doris didn’t haw a kids because Doris was infertile after some accident. This made Julie feel so bad. “How had I let myself become a mistress like this? It wasn’t right” Julie thought but she couldn’t end things with John because she actually started to have feelings for him.

John took care of Julie and she was happy with him.So even though Julie knew that it was wrong, she just couldn’t stop it.

But then one day. Julie was walking to the bus stop when a random man approached her and that said that Doris wanted to met her. 

She was shocked to know that Doris knew about her and John. But he followed the guy to a nearby cafe where Doris was waiting for her. As soon as Julie saw Doris her jaw dropped.

It was the same women that Scott had cheated on her. Julie couldn’t believe her eyes. When Doris saw her, she looked shock but Doris said.

“Well, well, well looks like we’re destined to meet. Okay, I’ll get straight to the point. You need to back away from my husband”

Julie was mad of what Doris said because it was clear to her that she wasn’t the perfect wife everyone made her to be. So Julie said to her, “You do know you’re no better than me, right? I wonder what John would say if he knew you were having an affair too”

Doris felt so furious and started shouting at Julie, saying “John will never leave me and I would not let you steal him away, especially his money, It all belong to me” Then Doris stormed off.

So then Julia knew the truth that Doris was only with John for his money. Julia thought that Doris was even worse than her because at least Julie love John for real. And the war between the two officially began.

Doris started to rub in Julie’s face that she was his wife and that Julie wasn’t. Every day she turned up to John’s office with his Lunch and kiss John in front of Julie.

But unlucky for her, the Universe works in funny ways. Julie found out that she was pregnant and it’s the only thing that Julie could give John that Doris couldn’t.

Julie was so happy that she immediately called John to tell him about it right away. John was over the moon and promise to take care of Julie and the kid. So John started to spend more time with Julie.

But then something shocking happened.

Doris appeared in front of Julies house. Julie walks towards her and said “What else do you want now?”

She was about to say something when Julie’s Dad came out from the house and said “Julie, what are you doing?”

So both of Julie and Doris turned back and the things got crazier.

“Doris?!” Julie’s dad shouted in surprised, he looked like he’d seen a ghost.

Then Doris said “Thomas?!”

Julie started to wonder of how they knew each other. But the things, Julie’s dad was screaming “Get away from her. She’s not your daughter anymore.”

Julie froze “Doris was my..., mom?!”

Before she could even spoke a word, Doris ran to her car and drove off.

Julie didn’t even wanted to look at her dad, she wanted to be alone. That night, Julie lay awake at night thinking about it all. She’s been competing with her mom. Which even made it worst.

“What was I going to do? I love John and I wanted have his baby so badly. But he was my mom’s husband” Julie talked to herself.

But then all those feelings of abandonment came flooding back to her memories.

“My mom lefted us, and now she’s hurting John, She just took advantage of her love and only cared about money. She didn’t care about any of us, Why could she be so selfish?” Julie thought as she couldn’t stop crying that night but then eventually fell asleep

When Julie woke up, she knew what she had to do. Even though she was her mom, she never to learn her lesson once and for all.

Julie called John and asked if they could meet up at their favorite cafe. Julie felt so nervous but she told everything. How she cheated on him and then how she was her mom.

Julie even showed him some photos of her with Scott that Julie taken outside Scott’s house. John was so shocked, he just stared at Julie, not saying anything. He look completely heartbroken. Julie wanted to hug and comfort him so bad but she knew she couldn’t do that anymore.

In the end, John divorced Doris and kick her out of the house, leaving her with nothing.

And then, John proposed to Julie. But Julie still deciding. “Becoming the wife of my mom’s ex-husband just feels a bit strange” Julie thought.

End..

Closing thought

After watching the short clipped, I was honestly surprised like my jaw dropped, she was competing with her mom all along and her mom even dated her boyfriend? Like What?! Anyways they’re all cheaters. Except for her poor dad.

How did it make you feel?

I feel pity for her at first and disappointed with her mom, it’s not her fault, she did what she could to help her father, even though it was not the right thing to do.

How did it affect you?

It affect me in terms of making me realized that I should work for my own and never depend on anyone. I respect that people who would do anything and I know that they never wish to be the person that they are but they don’t have a choice but to do it. That is why, as early as now I need to work hard to achieve my goals.

Would you recommend it?

No, definitely not recommend. It’s just a short clip but It’s confidential and heartbreaking at the same time. So nope, do not watch the animation.
