FAKE FACADE

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.

Denzel stood in the foyer, briefcase in hand, ready to head out the door to start his day. He checked his watch for what felt like the hundredth time, anxious to get to the office and tackle the mountain of work waiting for him. He took a deep breath, preparing himself for the chaos that lay ahead. The morning sunlight streaming through the window highlighted the dust particles dancing in the air, and the sound of birds chirping outside created a sense of calm that Denzel wished he could bottle up and take with him to the office.

He wore a crisp, white dress shirt with a conservative collar, made of high-quality cotton that accentuated his broad shoulders and chest. The shirt was tailored to fit him perfectly, with a subtle sheen that hinted at its luxurious fabric. The sleeves were long and slim-fitting, ending in cuffs that were fastened with elegant silver cufflinks.

His navy blue suit was a masterclass in tailoring, with a fitted waist and shoulders that seemed to broaden his already impressive physique. The fabric was a rich, dark blue that seemed almost black in certain lighting conditions, and it was woven with a subtle texture that gave it depth and visual interest. The suit was single-breasted, with a classic two-button front and a fitted silhouette that accentuated Denzel's athletic build.

His tie was a subtle pattern of dark blues and grays, with a texture that seemed almost silky to the touch. The knot was precise and perfectly symmetrical, adding a touch of elegance to Denzel's overall appearance. The tie was slim and modern, with a subtle sheen that caught the light as he moved.

His black leather belt was cinched at his waist, holding up his matching navy blue trousers with a simple yet effective silver buckle. The trousers were slim-fitting and tapered, ending in a crisp crease that seemed to sharpen Michael's already chiseled features.

On his feet, Denzel wore black dress shoes that were polished to a high shine. The shoes were made of rich, supple leather that seemed to mold to his feet, and they had a subtle brogue detailing that added a touch of sophistication to their classic design.

On his wrist, Denzel wore a simple leather strap watch, its classic design and understated elegance perfectly complementing his overall appearance. The watch was a subtle accessory, yet it seemed to add a touch of authority and gravitas to Denzel's already commanding presence.

Overall, Denzel's outfit was a masterclass in understated elegance and classic style, perfectly suited to a successful businessman heading to an important meeting. Well he's one of the richest businessman in New York.

Just as he reached for the door handle, he heard a usual familiar voice behind him. "Denzel, wait!" It was Nadetta,his wife, her voice firm but gentle, a hint of a smile playing on her lips.

Denzel turned to see Nadetta and their daughter, Angel, standing in the kitchen doorway, looking at him with expectant eyes. Angel was bouncing up and down, her blonde pigtails bobbing with each movement, she's 17, while Nadetta leaned against the doorframe, her arms crossed over her chest.

"What's up?" Denzel asked, trying to hide his impatience. He knew he was running late, and every minute counted.

"We made breakfast," Nadetta said, holding up a plate of scrambled eggs and toast. The aroma wafted through the air, making Denzel's stomach growl with hunger. "We thought you could eat with us before you leave."

Denzel hesitated, looking at his watch again. He really didn't have time for this. But the look on Nadetta's face told him that this was important. She had that determined glint in her eye, the one that said she wouldn't take no for an answer.

"Okay, fine," he said, putting down his briefcase. "But just for a minute."

Angel squealed with delight and ran over to him, throwing her arms around his shoulder. "Dad, I made your favorite breakfast!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with pride.

Denzel smiled, feeling a pang of guilt for his initial hesitation. He hugged Emma back. "Thanks, kiddo. I'm starving."

"It's Angel dad not kiddo,I'm 17 for goodness sake" Angel whined and he laughed out loud.

Nadetta handed him a plate of food, and Denzel dug in, savoring the taste of the scrambled eggs and toast. The eggs were fluffy, the toast was crispy, and the coffee was hot and strong - just the way he liked it. Angel chattered excitedly about her day, telling him about her plans for school and her friends, while Denzel listened intently, feeling grateful for this small moment of peace before the chaos of the day began.

As they finished up, Nadetta reached out and put a hand on his arm. "Have a good day, honey. We'll see you tonight." Her eyes locked onto his, and for a moment, Denzel felt like everything was going to be okay.

Denzel smiled, feeling a sense of appreciation for his family. "I will. Thanks for breakfast, guys. It was just what I needed." He hugged Angel again, then kissed Nadetta on the cheek. "I'll see you tonight."

With that, he grabbed his briefcase and headed out the door, feeling a sense of determination wash over him. He was ready to take on the day.

"I'll go get ready for work while you get ready for school too Angel" Nadetta said and Angel nodded.

{ NEXUS ENTERPRISES}

As Nadetta arrived at her place of work, she was greeted by the familiar sight of the bustling office building. She stepped out of the car and onto the sidewalk, taking a deep breath of the crisp morning air. The sun was shining, casting a warm glow over the scene.

Nadetta smiled to herself as she walked towards the entrance, her heels clicking on the pavement. She was dressed in a sharp, navy blue pencil skirt that hugged her curves in all the right places, paired with a crisp, white blouse that accentuated her toned arms. Her long, dark hair was pulled back into a sleek, low bun, and her bright, hazel eyes sparkled with confidence.

She wore a tailored, fitted blazer that added a touch of sophistication to her outfit, and her statement silver necklace added a hint of glamour. Her high heels were a deep, rich brown that complemented her outfit perfectly, and her classic, leather briefcase was full of notes and presentations.

As she pushed open the door, she was enveloped in the hum of conversation and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. She nodded to the receptionist, who greeted her with a friendly smile.

"Good morning, Nadetta! You've got a busy day ahead, you know."

Nadetta nodded, her eyes scanning the room. "Yes, I do. But I'm ready for it."

She made her way to her office, exchanging greetings with her colleagues along the way. Her workspace was tidy and organized, with a stunning view of the city skyline.

Nadetta took a moment to collect her thoughts, sipping her coffee and reviewing her schedule for the day. She had a series of meetings and presentations, but she was feeling focused and energized.

With a sense of determination, Nadetta dove into her work, ready to tackle whatever challenges came her way. She was a force to be reckoned with, and she knew it.
