Nowadays people can not do anything without money. Money is really important in our current lives. Some people gain money quite easily while some or not that fortunate. Harper is a part of the people who are not that fortunate. She has always been poor. Her family struggled greatly with debt. The reason for the debt was her father’s gambling addiction. From a very young age Harper started working extra jobs to help her family financially. She never had a normal or enjoyable childhood. The only reason she liked her life was her little sister Hailey. Without Hailey she would have no reason to live.
The sisters started high school with hope that they would finally be able to leave their unpleasant childhood memories behind, but unfortunately high school was just as bad. Everyone around them seemed like they were living luxurious and happy lives while the sisters were stuck in their miserable lives. One day they were fed up with being poor. They had an idea to make their lives better. The idea was not really a good option but that was the only thing they thought would bring them money the fastest. Their idea was to steal but they were not going to steal from random innocent people, they were going to steal from gamblers since they had a huge hatred in their heart for gambling and gamblers. Who could blame them, gambling was the reason they had to give up their childhood to help put food on the table.
The first person they stole from was a friend of their father’s. They did not steal much, 20 dollars meant nothing to their father’s friend but it was a huge treasure for the girls. For the first time in their lives, the girls bought some chocolate that day. It was the best moment of their lives. After this, the girls knew they wanted a life with more luxuries which in their case was snacks like chocolate. For almost 2 years they stole money from gamblers regularly until Harper finished high school. After Harper finished high school she had a lot of extra time which allowed her to steal even more. The more they stole the more they wanted. At one point the little amounts of money they were stealing did not satisfy them. They wanted something bigger. The person they chose as their next target was a millionaire. His name was Mr. Bourbon. The sisters were friends with his daughter so getting into their mansion was easy. While the daughter wasn’t paying attention, the sisters snuck into the jewel room. The room was filled with lots of shiny jewelry but one of them stood out the most. It was a huge diamond necklace. The necklace looked so beautiful that it could make a person fall in love with it after looking at it for a second. Hailey carefully lifted the glass box the necklace was in and immediately an alarm went off.
Not even a minute later the room was filled with security guards. ‘Don’t… don’t budge an inch’. The sisters were terrified. They were kicked out of the mansion and the moment they stepped out of the mansion, they saw at least 10 police cars. They knew that they made the biggest mistake of their lives and they would probably live a very depressing life till the day they die. They were sentenced to 15 years in prison but they weren’t mad. At least they had the person who helped them get through all the hardships before, their sister.
