"The following morning after being fired I started focusing on my business.

"The trauma of going through private investigators, lie detector tests, having my accounts being checked, I told myself that I will live for the content of my house, people still can't believe 4 point 9 can build a house if you substitute it with small extra incomes. One day, I will gather strength to go live or post a story," @mrssmia2 wrote.
