1
Hi, I'm Monica from California.
2
Please like and subscribe.
3
I was born to middle -class parents.
4
Dad was a lawyer and mom was a sculptor and unfortunately, she wasn't as good as she thought.
5
Is that a monkey's butt, mom?
6
Yes, it represents freedom.
7
You won't get it.
8
I don't think anyone will.
9
Growing up, I was closer to my dad.
10
He would read to me every day and tuck me into bed
11
while mom stayed in a room making weird structures from mud.
12
Every time dad asked her to get a real job, I was a kid she would lock herself in and not come out for days.
13
One evening after an argument with Dad, Mom left the house in the middle of the night.
14
We searched everywhere and found her in the park, crouching under a tree.
15
Ah, what took you guys so long?
16
Look what I made.
17
Mom, we were going crazy looking for you.
18
Oh, but I was right here, darling.
19
Things changed after that.
20
Mom and Dad started avoiding each other even more and Dad got busier with work.
21
I read almost all the books in Dad's library.
22
One night I was studying for a test when I heard Mom and Dad arguing again.
23
I work hard all day and night and you go behind my back to get these useless things?
24
I'm trying to build something amazing.
25
I knew you wouldn't give me the money if I told you.
26
Just relax.
27
No, I won't.
28
I've had enough.
29
I'm leaving.
30
What?
31
No!
32
Dad, wait!
33
Dad didn't even turn around.
34
Days.
35
After dad left, things went downhill quickly in terms of money.
36
I was a straight -A student, so we got an extension on the fees
37
and somehow I convinced my mom to get a job in the diner so we wouldn't go completely broke.
38
But a few days later, I came back from school to find mom sitting outside the house.
39
What?
40
What happened?
41
The landlord threw us out.
42
We didn't have the money for rent.
43
But I thought you got a salary.
44
Yes, but then I saw this beautiful sculpting kid and I couldn't stop myself.
45
for an advance at your job?
46
Oh no, I can't.
47
I quit.
48
Waiting on people is not my thing.
49
You quit?
50
Mom, are you crazy?
51
We're homeless because you spent everything on those stupid supplies.
52
This is not stupid.
53
This is my dream.
54
And what about my dreams?
55
You know I want to study law.
56
And you know what?
57
It's my fault.
58
I should have known better.
59
The look on mom's face broke my heart, but I was too mad to think straight.
60
We took our luggage and moved to a motel nearby, and I spent the whole night applying to every part -time job on the internet.
61
That's when I came across an ad asking for a babysitter for 10 -year -old twin girls.
62
The money was good, so I applied, and luckily I got a call back almost immediately along with an address.
63
The place was in the middle of nowhere, and as I stepped inside, A can of juice went flying past me, almost hitting me in the head.
64
"This is cranberry!
65
I'm allergic to this!
66
You want me to die, don't you?
67
Hello?
68
I'm talking to you !" "Uh, sis?
69
I think she's finally gone crazy.
70
What do you think?
71
Should we kick her out too?" The poor maid stood still like a rock, staring at the floor as the two brats screamed at her.
72
I could see tears rolling down her face, but her expression remained cold as ice.
73
Can you stop flinging things like that?
74
You might end up hurting someone.
75
Then don't stand in the way ugly face.
76
Who are you anyway?
77
A trespasser from the media?
78
Oh my god, a kidnapper?
79
I'm here for the babysitting job.
80
Oh But aren't you supposed to be all old and wrinkly?
81
And what are you still doing here?
82
Get your deaf butt out of this room.
83
No, That's not a very nice thing to say Emerald.
84
Suddenly a handsome guy in his 40s walked in and the whole place fell silent.
85
screamed royalty to me.
86
But when he spoke, a chill ran down my spine.
87
You must be Monica.
88
I'm Robbie Jackson.
89
That's Emerald and Pearl, my daughters.
90
Just excuse their behavior.
91
They get hyper around new people.
92
No problem.
93
But they do need to treat people with respect. Of course.
94
That's why I want a good nanny for them.
95
That could teach them some manners.
96
You see, I'm a busy man and I need my space.
97
Sure, but I thought you needed a babysitter.
98
Potato, potato.
99
You help them study.
100
Eat, sleep, everything.
101
And sometimes you have to stay the night.
102
Like tonight I have a charity event and I'll be back tomorrow.
103
I'll pay you extra for this.
104
Do we have a deal?
105
I thought about it for a moment before agreeing, and Mr. Jackson immediately gave me $5 ,000 as a salary advance.
106
This was huge.
107
Don't get too happy.
108
We won't make it easy on you.
109
Consider this as our warning.
110
Dad's soft, but we're not.
111
Try me.
112
I'm tougher than you think.
113
feeling about the house and those creepy brats.
114
God, those girls needed some discipline.
115
I went downstairs to get some water and found the maid from the morning, so I thought of having a little chat.
116
Hey there, so how long have you been working here?
117
Silence.
118
Um, could you tell me your name at least?
119
Why?
120
Please don't talk to me!
121
Before I could say anything else, this maid turned around and left.
122
Well, that was awkward.
123
I was just getting over this weird moment when suddenly I heard someone howling downstairs.
124
I got freaked out and rushed to check up on the twins when I realized one of them was missing.
125
What?
126
The freaking Funyuns?
127
Diamond?
128
Sorry.
129
Pearl?
130
Pearl?
131
What?
132
Stop screaming.
133
Where's your sister?
134
She's not here.
135
Shh.
136
Stop freaking out.
137
She went to her special place.
138
She'll come back.
139
Jill.
140
What special place?
141
How would I know?
142
She just calls it her special place. and comes back later.
143
Just try to shut up.
144
I'm trying to get some sleep.
145
Pearl simply pulled the blanket and turned around.
146
Helpless, I tried looking for Emerald everywhere, but it was like she disappeared into thin air.
147
The next morning before leaving for school, I went straight to Mr. Jackson to talk about it.
148
Don't think about it too much.
149
Just be careful around the girls.
150
They've taken a hit after their mom got into a coma.
151
If you take good care of them, you'll never have to look for another job.
152
Mr. Jackson looked desperate, and in some ways it reminded me of my own dad around mom, trying to get her to work.
153
Over the next few days, I tried everything to warm up to the girls, but they were just horrible.
154
They burned my assignments, superglue my chair, and one time, they filled my bag with broken eggs.
155
It took me hours to clean that.
156
One day at work, Mr. Jackson informed me that it was the twins' 11th birthday, and he wanted to throw the biggest party ever.
157
But an hour before guests started pouring in, he left for an urgent business meeting, leaving me in charge.
158
When I told the girls, they went ballistic.
159
He always gets away with it.
160
Not this time.
161
He's gonna regret missing out on our birthday.
162
Emerald pulled a lighter out of her pocket and rushed to the library.
163
I chased her all the way up in this maze of a house
164
and found her with a lighter under a massive painting.
165
I wonder how he'll feel when we burn his favorite painting down.
166
You can't.
167
You won't.
168
Listen, Emerald, I'm sure something important came up.
169
And what do you know?
170
You probably have both of your parents loving you.
171
Actually, no. I told the girls about my issues regarding mom and dad, and suddenly they went softer.
172
Emerald pulled the lighter down, and after that day, she was surprisingly kinda well -behaved.
173
The week went by peacefully, and soon the school announced the annual scholarship test.
174
I asked Mr. Jackson if he could spare me for a week but he suggested I just move in instead.
175
It didn't sound half bad, so I agreed, but when I told mom, she said she had a bad feeling about it.
176
Well, I would have preferred if she had a job instead of a bad feeling, but whatever.
177
I moved in the next day, and while I was setting up my stuff, Mr. Jackson called for me.
178
Now that you're here, you need to understand two things.
179
My study is off -limits, and the room on the top floor remains closed at all times, circumstances are you allowed to go in?
180
I felt a bit weird with the way he spoke, but I nodded my head and went back to my room.
181
Moments later the girls walked in and asked if I wanted a tour.
182
They took me around the house, showing off their bowling alley, swimming pool, and arcade.
183
Do you get to play many games with your dad?
184
No, he's always busy.
185
Oh, okay.
186
Why do you say it like that?
187
Like what?
188
Like you're feeling sorry for us?
189
I'm sure you're thinking that.
190
But guess what?
191
Our daddy loves us deeply.
192
Hey, I didn't mean it like that.
193
I just.. you know what?
194
Forget it.
195
I'm sorry if you feel that way.
196
Sorry doesn't heal anything!
197
Before I could ask her what she meant, Emeralds just turned around and left and the maid told us that dinner was ready.
198
Don't think too much.
199
She's a bit crazy.
200
You should know that by now.
201
Also, never be late for dinner or you'll starve the night.
202
missing weird things.
203
For starters, Mr. Jackson was never around anymore.
204
He never spoke or ate with us, and when he came home, he went straight to his study.
205
As if this wasn't weird enough, two nights before the exam, I heard a light tapping on the door.
206
My body froze as the knocking got louder, but when I opened the door, I saw a light flicker in the downstairs area, and then I saw Emerald.
207
She was at it again.
208
This time, I followed her, and it looked like she was headed toward the basement.
209
Emerald?
210
Shhh, shhh, you're not supposed to go there.
211
She can't hear you.
212
The soul left my body when I turned around to face Pearl.
213
You scared the Pachesus out of me.
214
Sorry, but I just wanted to stop you before you did something stupid.
215
Pearl then told me that Emerald went down to the basement almost every night and sometimes she even sleeps there.
216
It's got all of Mom's stuff.
217
No one, not even Dad disturbs her.
218
Ever since mom went into a coma, that's how she comforts herself.
219
That explains why she went missing the first night I was here.
220
But if you knew that, why didn't you tell me before?
221
It was just fun watching you get creeped out.
222
Anyway, you should sleep now.
223
I'll keep an eye on her.
224
I believed Pearl and went back to bed.
225
But an hour later, I woke up again, and this time it was to the smell of smoke.
226
My room was drowning in smoke as I made my way to the hall screaming for the girls
227
and dialing the fire brigade.
228
What happened?
229
I don't know.
230
I was waiting for Emerald and passed out on the floor.
231
When I woke up, there was fire everywhere.
232
Hold on.
233
Where's Emerald?
234
The two of us rushed toward the basement, but the fire was totally out of control.
235
Luckily, the fire truck arrived just in time and rescued Emerald unharmed.
236
They said that the fire was caused because of a candle in the basement.
237
I was just lighting up some of Mom's favorite candles, and I didn't realize when I toast off.
238
I burned everything that belonged to Mom.
239
I'm so sorry.
240
As long as we found you.
241
Emerald started sobbing and I hugged her tight.
242
Just then, Mr. Jackson arrived looking horrified.
243
And when the fire guys told him what caused the mess, he lost his mind.
244
You know what?
245
I've done everything for you girls and all you've done is made a mess out of my life.
246
How could you burn the house down?
247
Uh, I'm sorry to butt in, Mr. Jackson, but it was a mistake.
248
Emerald feels horrible and to be honest, you should be glad your girls are okay.
249
And who are you to tell me what to do?
250
I can't, please.
251
You're just a servant here.
252
You can't talk to her like that, Dad.
253
She saved our lives.
254
I can do whatever I want.
255
Watch this.
256
You're fired.
257
Don't come here again.
258
Gladly, Mr. Jackson.
259
And I hope you become a better parent, because God knows these girls deserve it.
260
I said my final goodbyes to the girls and left.
261
Thanks to the wild night, I was super exhausted at school the next day and totally tanked my scholarship test.
262
news.
263
Thanks to the fire, the secret room in the house had to be opened to check the damages.
264
And thousands of gold coins and illegal cash were recovered.
265
Everything belonged to Mr. Jackson.
266
He was taken to jail and the girls were sent to London to stay with their aunt.
267
Wow.
268
That's why he kept the room shut all the time.
269
I'm just happy the girls are safe.
270
Yeah, Mon, I'm sorry for putting you through this.
271
I've been a horrible mother.
272
You stuck around and that's all that I'll be better.
273
And she made good on the promise, working hard and bagging a good deal on her sculptures.
274
I lost the scholarship opportunity, but our combined savings were enough to put me through the first year at Stanford.
275
But halfway through the year, I received an anonymous donation of $1 million.
276
And when I saw the bank details, it was some Linda Jackson, Mr. Jackson's wife.
277
I immediately called the number, and Linda's secretary arranged for a meeting.
278
mom.
279
"Monica !" "I've heard so much about you from my daughters.
280
It feels like I know you already." "It's nice to see you've recovered, ma 'am, and thank you for bringing these brats along." Linda held my hand
281
and thanked me for saving her daughters and exposing her cruel husband.
282
She even offered me a job at her company right after I graduated, and since the pay was good, I took it up.
283
"Don't get too happy.
284
We won't make it easy for you.
285
I'm counting on that."

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
