My Father Was A Member Of The Mob - Actually Happened Story by True Tales Animation

[Music] hi my name is chloe my parents separated and then divorced when i was five years old two years later my mother took my brother and i on a vacation to a town over a thousand miles away but when we arrived we were told we were never going back when i asked my mom why she had done this there was never a good explanation she would just say i'm sorry i can't tell you when you're older i will i was confused anxious and sad i had left all of my friends behind and my father with no chance to even say goodbye i had no idea what was going on and things were weird one day my brother and i came home from school and my mom was throwing everything away from the fridge she said everything had gone bad but i remember thinking ketchup and mustard don't go bad why would you throw everything away then there was this one time when my mom woke up my brother and i on a tuesday morning we're going hiking she said i was confused because it was a school day but our mother drove us to a cabin and we spent two nights there instead of going to school our mother told us that we could never tell anyone about where we had come from or about these weird episodes we also kept moving every couple of years by the time i graduated high school i had been to eight different schools when i turned 22 and had graduated from college my mother told me one day i'm ready to fully explain all of the strange things she said she finally told me the truth my father had been a member of the mob and for the last 15 years we had been on the run she told us people were following us and every time they found us that's why we'd have to move again the reason for throwing out the food was because our mother had been tipped off that someone had poisoned our food and the reason why we'd had that middle of the week camping trip was because people were hot on our trail and we needed to get away for a couple of days why are you telling me this now i asked my mother went on to tell me that my father had passed away and we hadn't been followed for over a year i was in shock to say the least i knew my childhood had been weird but i never expected to find out that my father whom i could barely remember now had been a member of the mob and that people had been trying to finish us i felt incredibly sad for my brother and i that our childhood had been taken over but i also felt glad to finally have an explanation so i could feel i could start moving forward in my life hello my name is lawrence and i am 45. i'm dating a woman who is 32 and been in four previous marriages to some people this might sound like a ridiculous relationship why would i date someone that is 13 years younger than me and been married four times the answer is simple we planned this we had always been in love but because lots of people were concerned that a younger woman would want to marry an older poor man like me we had decided that she would marry a few rich men get their money and then divorce our plan had worked perfectly and we were getting ready for our wedding we had made sure that she had gotten enough money to get us both living comfortably with no worry about work for the rest of our lives with that plan we got to focus on our wedding and the time we would spend together during our honeymoon and for the rest of our lives we talked about things we would like to do together that was when some of our problems started my soon-to-be wife started complaining about the budget cuts she started comparing me to the men she had conned this brought me some concerns what if she started judging my appearance to the fancy and attractive men that she had previously married what if she compared our bed performance i was not a very self-confident man there was nothing about me that was extraordinarily attractive or good my biggest feat was getting this beautiful woman to fall in love with me if she starts comparing me to other men and is unhappy with me i have nothing to make her stay with me i tried to shake off this feeling of worry but if life teaches you anything it's not to brush off those small signs all of my fears came true the moment we said i do she compared me to all her past lovers telling me all about how much better they were how richer they were and how much more attractive they were i was terrified of our honeymoon terrified of how i would perform thank the lucky stars she did not say anything about my performance however she began to complain that i cuddled too much or too little that i sweat too much or it was too cold to her i was beginning to get stressed out did i truly make her so unhappy does she need money to be happy i thought she would be okay because we love each other what happened to our plan i decided to end the thing with her i believe this would make her the happiest i came up with this decision through a night filled with tears when i finally got the courage to bring it up to her i was shocked that she had already gotten the divorce papers and filled out all of it all it needed was our signatures i was sad that she was so ready to end things when we had worked so hard to get here but if she was happy after this i would be happy too we also would be splitting all the money she had acquired so i was okay with this divorce i could live for the rest of my life as a slightly wealthy bachelor hi my name is alexander and i'm 13 years old but i'm also pregnant i know that sounds really weird but i'm going to explain how that happened i grew up in a foreign country and my parents are people who are really really interested in science they aren't scientists but they always wanted to be they even had a few scientist friends whom they help out whenever they can one day those scientist friends came over to our house for dinner while i wasn't there and they started talking with my parents about some kind of experiment they were working on but they weren't able to find any volunteers for it my parents volunteered me without even asking what the experiment was their friends were surprised and asked if they were sure and my parents said yes so they accepted and the next day i was being whisked away to some sort of laboratory to start testing i was brought to some sort of a white room and was told to lie down on the bed so i did they hooked me up to a bunch of machines and put a mask over my face i asked what it was for and they said it was just going to give me some medicine gas so that i would go to sleep and not feel any pain i tried to tell them i didn't feel any different but i fell asleep halfway through my sentence i woke up many hours later with a headache and a pain in my stomach i pressed a button beside me to call my doctor over and a minute later he arrived he asked how i was feeling and started writing notes down on his clipboard i mentioned the pain in my stomach and he suddenly got very interested in that he kept asking what the pain felt like if it hurt a lot and a whole bunch of other questions i don't remember eventually another doctor came in with some sort of a machine she rubbed some sort of a glue on my stomach and then used the machine to rub all over it while a weird black and white image appeared on my screen to my left the doctors got very happy and said it was a success i asked them what had happened and they promised they would tell me as soon as my parents got there my parents came into the room about an hour later and finally my doctor told us all what was going on apparently they had managed to put a fetus inside me using a fake womb and a bunch of different tubes that they had made and they managed to make me pregnant they said that in about seven months i would deliver a baby for a couple that weren't able to have their own my parents got furious with the doctor they said that they had never signed any permission forms or anything that had told them what they were doing with me they pulled me out of bed and started driving me home talking about suing the place where i had the operation done that was about four months ago so now i've technically been pregnant for four months with a six-month-old baby inside me as a 13 year old boy my parents are in the middle of a long legal battle with the hospital but their lawyers say they should win anyways that's my story of how i a 13 year old boy got pregnant about five years ago my husband sean and i were struggling to pay our mortgage after he'd been forced to change jobs and i'd taken time off work to have our first child his new position in the finance division of a major company paid a lot less than his last job and we were going to the wall financially it looked as if we were going to have to go to my parents for a big loan to make sure we didn't lose our dream house and end up on the streets eventually after six months of working himself nearly to death a much better job came up in sean's division the salary and bonuses he would earn from the promotion would set us up for years and not only pay for the house but allow us a holiday and a few luxuries as well i can't underestimate how much we needed sean to get that job he was good enough and worked hard enough but the fact that he wasn't senior in the company might count against him a couple of weeks after the position was advertised and after sean had written an excellent application that he had submitted to his boss i found myself dragged along to a night out with the families of his co-workers as the boys from the office let their hair down to celebrate the end of the financial year we girls joined in as well i hadn't had a night out since my child was born and i guess i went a little over the top with my drinking as the night wore on and my husband a little worse for wear retreated to a couch with a few of his mates to keep on drinking i felt a hand across my back and looked up to see the head of sean's division standing behind me he lent down and whispered in my ear he said you're a beautiful woman i didn't even know what to say i didn't know if he was serious so i giggled a little he lent in again and kept whispering thirsty i know that you and sean are having problems i can help i asked how and he said they've chosen somebody else for the new position but i can choose whoever i like and i can pick him i stayed silent waiting to see what deal he would make me his hand became a little heavier on the small of my back and he continued i've been looking at you all night i want to make love to you i turned to tell him where to go and he interrupted me don't say no yet just think about what this job means to sean one night with me and you're set think about it and he walked away i stood for a few seconds trying to gather my thoughts and dissect what had just happened to me eventually i dragged sean home but having sobered up upon hearing tom's proposal i had a sleepless night lying next to him wondering if long-term financial security was enough to betray my husband for was it even betrayal it was for him as well the next few days were spent discussing the state of our mortgage and how we needed him to get the job to save the house how could i tell him that there was no way he was going to get it unless i gave myself for him i knew that there was only one thing i could do one day when sean had left for work i went through his address book and found tom's mobile number i called him and said that i would give him what he wanted in exchange for sean's promotion he called me back a few minutes later and gave me the address of a motel where we would meet for the next hour i let this middle-aged man use my body as he liked on the promise that he would hold up his end of the bargain we left the motel and i sat in my car for another hour crying had i done the right thing would i be double-crossed a few minutes after i eventually managed to start my car and drive towards home my phone rang it was shawn i couldn't bear to speak to him so he let it ring out and continue to drive it rang again and i ignored it again it was only the third time that it rang when i answered it he breathlessly told me that he'd been chosen and would start his new job on monday we had been saved i cried again they were tears of joy with a lot of bitterness and regret mixed in we were saved but at what price sean has since proven to be one of the best employees that the company has he's earned bonuses that he never would have had in his old role and looks set to be promoted again but every time he proudly talks to me about his work and how successful he is i have to look away in shame because i can never reveal the terrible secret about how he came to be there in the first place hey all my name is sarah and i am 27 years old i work as a business analyst in an i.t company at the company's annual conference i got introduced to godwin yes i was fascinated by him but i didn't think about it because he lived in another city and a long-distance relationship was something that has never worked out for me just a few months later we met again and this time we were both selected for the same project and would work in my office for three weeks we both were good at work and our bonding was going great we both had an exciting time working together on the same project after a few days even before i opened my laptop he was at my desk it was then that i first felt that he too was attracted to me then we started having coffee together and also went to dinner after work not too long enough we had gotten infatuated towards each other we went for a road trip on the weekend and that's when we got physically attracted we both ended up falling in love with each other and we formally started dating one another my life seemed to be delighted because i had the perfect job and amazing new boyfriend even though i knew that he would soon leave for his hometown but somehow i was convinced we could sustain a long-distance relationship very well and then a few days before he was scheduled to fly out he revealed his biggest truth that he had hidden until now i became aware that he has been married for two years although godwin wasn't happy in his marriage i was left wrecked and felt completely cheated how could he hide such a big thing away from me he being married made me crazy and i had to end everything with him his project came to an end and he returned to his hometown i went back to my usual pattern of working day and night putting in all my focus on work as i tried hard to forget all the wonderful moments shared with him a few days later he called me i didn't want to speak to him but the moment i heard his voice i could tell he was very drunk so i didn't disconnect the call he told me why he hadn't mentioned his marital status he thought i wouldn't be interested in him if i knew he was married i have to admit that was the truth honestly i didn't want to start anything new again with him he was married he was another woman's husband and i was just the other woman still i somehow found a reason to give our relationship another chance he told me that soon he will give divorce to his wife and i believed him i was skeptical and there are examples of men who have lied about leaving their wives and never did but i was blinded by my feelings for him and my love for him was infinite and i couldn't stop myself going towards him now the extramarital affair started he would lie to his wife about work trips and visit me and every time he would visit it was such a special moment i would never fail to ask him the question of when he would leave his wife but all he did was to make excuses upon excuses i didn't want our relationship to be hidden i hadn't introduced him to my friends or family and that bothered me so much things went on the same way for a year he kept on with lying to his wife just come to see and meet me occasionally gradually i started getting used to the habit of staying without him that when he wasn't around i would be busy working it got to the extent that i had almost forgotten that i was in an extramarital relationship with someone then after a few months i started feeling that it doesn't bother me so much if god one is not around even when i call him someday he remains busy and never answers my call most of the time i really needed someone very close to me he wasn't there at such times that was the time i met alan he had just joined the company where i was working and was interested in me he wasn't married so no sooner i started liking him and we started dating i thought if he could have a wife why couldn't i have another boyfriend without telling him days passed on and my relationship with alan was going very smooth god when existence or in existence didn't bother me so much because i knew what i wanted i dumped godwin and decided to spend my entire life with alan subscribe to this channel to watch more such videos and press the bell icon for more updates
