The Scars She Hid From The World
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.I posted my beautiful photos online.
Someone commented below, accusing me of being a scammer.
I thought it was a joke to get my attention, but when I came back, my Facebook was flooded with messages.
Hundreds of people tagged me and sent private messages demanding I return their money.
I was completely bewildered. When I opened the comments section, I found that the comment accusing me of being a scammer had hundreds of replies.
Someone had explained the situation and received a lot of likes:
"This poor guy and girl got tricked in an online romance scam and were swindled out of $8500."
"How can someone be so handsome yet so naive? Handsome idiot, you're so cute, I feel sorry for you. Bad woman, hurry up and return the money!"
"Online dating scammer, may your whole family suffer! You even scammed the handsome guy's money, hurry up and return it!"
"I checked out the handsome guy's profile. He likes the type of woman the blogger is, no wonder he got scammed so badly. Let this be a lesson, remember that the prettier the woman, the more likely she is to scam you. @Blogger, stop pretending to be dead and return the money!"
I posted some beautiful photos of myself on a website, and before long, the comment section was flooded with accusations, all demanding that I return the money and subjecting me to online abuse.
I was stunned.
I clicked on the profile of the person who claimed to have been scammed.
His latest post was a video of himself, tearfully saying that he really liked his online girlfriend's type, but he got scammed and felt very sad.
The guy was indeed very handsome, with a bit of a "boy-next-door" look.
Even I had to admit he was my type at first glance.
No wonder passersby felt sorry for him and rallied to his defense.
But he caused me to be insulted and abused online!
I held back my anger and looked through the screenshots he posted of his conversation with the scammer.
The girl had said she wanted to buy a game skin, and the handsome idiot agreed, transferring $8500 to her.
When he tried to message her again, he found that she had blocked him.
There were no photos, and the profile picture wasn't mine.
