The Accidental Billionaire Bride

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.

Chapter 1

[A Rough Day]

The dazzling summer shine brightly on her shattered body, the way she was dragging her leg on the ground is enough to explain how tired and exhausted she was. She held her torn bag tightly to herself as she walked alone by the road side.

She looks unpresentable to people.

"Piper! Piper!!"Someone called her name to get her attention.

She holt and turned around

"What did you want Riley ?"she asked.

"Why did you leave hurriedly?"Riley scolded.

"Give me a tangible reason why I should stay there"She yelled, looking away.

"You should have waited a few more minutes at the company, you would have gotten the job"Riley muttered.

"Cleaning job with high credentials, are you okay Riley? Are you really sure you are complete upstairs? ``she yelled.

"For heaven's sake am just trying to help, Piper, it's just for time being, ''her best friend said.

"Did you just say just for the time being, I wash clothes for people, I do things for people which is not right, those people aren't my type, my class. Spending years in school isn't fun. And now I am wandering around looking for a job"She cried shamelessly.

"Don't cry here Piper, we are outside, by the roadside, Try to control yourself"Riley uttered softly, pulling her into a tight hug.

"Let me take you home,"Riley uttered.

"Going home isn't the situation, I will try my best and see any vacancy company." She sniffled.

"Am coming with you"Riley uttered, adjusting her foot wear.

"I don't have any money with me, take note of that"Piper uttered.

"I'm going to trek with you,"Riley replied.

They both sighed deeply before continuing their conversation

"I didn't regret having you as my best friend, going to college together was fun in some aspects and it was fun in another aspect. I can't just wonder why those company officials especially those CEO can't do without fucking their staffs."Riley scoffed.

"I can't tender my body because of money, why would I do such a thing? Just because things are hard doesn't mean I should do the worst. Am going to use my credentials to feed. And dad isn't helping, he's always after debt from one business owner to another, he's a drunkard and he beats my mom.

Whenever I tried to separate him from her, he beat me, even my younger sister and brother. I just wished I was a boy"Piper cried silently sniffing her nose.

"It's okay Piper, everything will be fine. By the time you start working in a big company, perhaps an industry, you will move your Mom and your siblings away from his clutches. "Riley uttered softly, arranging her hair.

"I'm just thankful my mom is assisting Raiden and Kailani. I can't afford to see my younger sister and brother sitting at home doing nothing."She stuttered.

"We just have to keep trying, I feel like I am a burden to your family"Riley uttered, walking slowly.

Piper frown immediately she uttered such statement

"You aren't a burden okay, I can't leave you alone on the street. It's not easy to be an orphan. Don't worry we will make it together"Piper uttered, locking her hand with hers.

"We must make it"They screamed, running down the slippery united road.

Good Morning sir, his staff greeted but as usual, he ignored them all and kept his face up while his staff kept their face down, no one was ready to get sacked.

"Owen"He called his male assistant immediately they got into the elevator.

"Mr Walter" He answered with a bow.

"Where's Mrs Sharon?"He asked, still having his attention on his phone.
