Charming Love

The Scars She Hid From The World

REGINA MCBRIDE

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

"Does my lady know your scheme, sir?!"

He directed his question towards his master, wanting an answer to it, because he thinks that perhaps that lady does not know what her husband Is planning.

His master answered him In a sarcastic tone, saying :

- No, idiot, she certainly doesn't know! Your lady has rare manners in those days! Do you believe in goodness and peace! Isn't something very funny! To meet two of us together under the banner of marriage! While each of us has different beliefs than the other!

After Listening to his master's sarcastic words, he told him In a calm tone confirming his speech:

- Yes sir, that's what I was thinking too! You two are so different from each other!! I wonder how

He laughed out loud, his follower's surprised words aroused his sarcasm, his follower must be wondering how they got together!!

"You mean how we became a couple! Right?!"

He threw his words In the face of the weak follower, whose head is in agreement, to tell him after that in a tone like the hissing of a snake

- Persuasion Jimmy, persuasion!! The ability to make those in front of you do what you want Is not an easy ability! But, I owned it, so your mistress became like a ring on my little finger, as you can see!!

"That braggart fool, bragging to his foolish follower about his ability to convince me and make me into pliable dough In his hand!! He didn't realize that I was waiting for the opportunity to escape from him, and took my two children away from him, away from the evil that he wanted to make us live In, the black abyss he wanted from me Fall In!

- She repeated the words to herself, while looking around warily, afraid that one of her husband's followers might see her and discover that she was eavesdropping on him.

With a quick pace, she moved away from that room that her husband had chosen as his residence, for his business as well. She walked until she reached the room of her two young daughters. She smiled at them warmly.

She hoped he wouldn't come quickly, her husband Is now about to hold a meeting between him and his followers, and she will use that time to escape with her two daughters.

The sound of a ringing phone reached her hearing, she stepped towards the commode next to the bed where she was putting It there, looked at It and found the person who would help her Is calling her now.

With great caution and calmness, she also opened the call. She listened to his voice as he told her In a firm tone, saying:

- Come on, it's time, but be careful not to be seen by any one of them, or the plan we've made will definitely fail!

Listening to his words, she answered him, saying In a calm tone

- Well, I'll get the two girls and get out quickly.

Well, I'm waiting for you In front of the house In a black car."

He told her that and then hung up the phone Immediately, so that she could start preparing her two daughters for departure. She carried each one of them on the opposite side of the other, one of them was peaceful, calm, and the other was shouting loudly, wanting to see her father.

In a quiet voice, she tried to make the four-year-old girl stop talking and making noises, as she did not want anyone to see them while they were trying to escape.

If she happened to be caught by her husband or one of his followers, she will be severely punished. She knows that, so she is keen that no one sees her. Her little girl’s act made her feel afraid, so that she looked for her own toy with her eyes to make her stop chanting In her father’s name. !!

She succeeded in making the little girl stop shouting , she then opened the door of the room, looked around with her eyes at the place outside, thanked her Lord In herself that no one was standing there, opened the door completely, then left it, jogging towards the outside of the house, not wanting to collide with anyone.

She was able to reach the door of the house, but at the last moment her little girl started crying again, asking for her father. She tried to calm her down, but she could not do It and make her stop crying this time.

The voice of the little girl and her crying loudly In the place, attracted the attention of one of them, who ran towards her and began to ask her In a worried tone, saying:

- What's the matter, madam?! Is the little one okay?!
