The Island of Treasures

The Scars She Hid From The World

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.

When Bella just got home from work and went to the bathroom to change clothes, she just flushed and thought about what to cook later when she was startled by the loud banging on the door outside. She reflexively spoke up.

"Who's outside?"

Quiet space. No one answered her. Bella continued to flush when the knock on the door got louder and louder.

Roaring rumbling

Suddenly, a bad premonition rose in Bella's heart; cold sweat poured down her forehead as if she had just been steamed. She cautiously walked over and blocked the door with a bucket of water. Her intuition told her that something bad was coming.

Sure enough, before Bella had time to pull the bucket of water to block the door, the weak wooden door was smashed by someone. The pieces of wood flew all over the place and flew straight into her face. Bella looked stunned and looked ahead to find a familiar fat body. Suddenly, Oscar burst in, looking at Bella's naked body with his saliva dripping down his shirt. The old man did not hesitate but quickly rushed to hug her and began to grope around.

"My daughter is taking a bath, right? Is it convenient for my father to enjoy my tender young skin?"

The faint smell of alcohol emanating from Oscar's mouth made Bella vomit non-stop. She used all her strength to push him out, screaming.

Is anyone there? Help me! "

"Futile! Everyone hasn't left work yet. No one dares come and save you in this shabby inn. If you're shouting like that, it's better to bend down to serve my penis! "

As soon as Oscar finished his sentence, he quickly pressed Bella's head down, so that her face was facing the thing that was trying to poke through his rotten pants and get out. Despite being separated by a cloth, Bella could smell the stench emanating from his penis. Bella covered her mouth to prevent herself from throwing up in disgust.

Oscar saw this and raised his hand to slap her on the mouth, causing Bella to stumble to the ground, his mouth mumbling.

"What attitude do you have towards me?" Isn't this how humans are made? Pretend you don't like it? You and your mother are just whores for me to play. Obediently surrender to me. I will treat you and your mother well, or else. "

Without finishing the sentence, Bella immediately grabbed a hairdryer and hit Oscar's head. She didn't allow anyone to insult her mother, not even Oscar. While Oscar was still stunned on the floor, Bella quickly grabbed the scarf and put it on. Her small body climbed out of the window and ran away.

Bella ran and turned her head to watch, afraid that Oscar would chase her. Before she could turn around, Bella bumped into a man and fell backward. She quickly covered her sensitive area with a towel and looked at the man. Seeing that his face was not good, Bella immediately grabbed his shirt to escape but was caught by Minh Triet. He looked at her with annoyance and said,

"Give me back my shirt!" Who are you?"

Bella begged Otis, her face panicking as she had just met a ghost.
