Just because I wouldn't forgive my dad for cheating, he teamed up with my mom and shipped me off to the New Life Reform School. They said I was too much, too stubborn, and needed to be "fixed." Three years later, I came back, playing the perfect daughter. I never mentioned my dad's affair again. Every day, I smiled at him, made sure his briefcase was packed, and had his slippers waiting when he got home. My dad was satisfied, saying I'd finally grown up and learned to put the family first. My mom hugged me, crying as she said, "Good girl, this is how it should be. When the family's at peace, everything else falls into place." But then, my dad got swept up in a high-profile wrongful conviction case that made headlines nationwide. Every shred of evidence pointed straight at him. As his only character witness, I took the stand. With all eyes on me, I calmly handed over new evidence that would seal his fate once and for all. "Your Honor, I can prove that my father, Zack Martin, is guilty," I said.
