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.

"Happy birthday world best Mom!" Gina giggled happily as she wrapped her arms around her mother's neck, but her mom slowly pulled down her hands from her neck.

"Gina, are you done making dinner?" Gina's mum asked pushing Gina's arm off her body

"No mum, but I am almost........

"What the hell have you been doing all this while?" Gina's mom cut in angrily

" I'm so sorry mum, it should be ready in few minutes time" gina said calmly as she ran to the kitchen

She dashed into the kitchen and in less than 30 minutes, she was done making dinner. She hurriedly served the food on the dinning table before proceeding to call her mom.

"Mom, Your food is served. Hurry before it gets cold !!" Gina said in excitement.

She stood by the dinning room waiting for her mum to have a sit first, and when her mum approached the dinning table, she pulled out a chair for her to sit while she proceeded to the other side of the table and also had her sit. But her mom kept a hard expression as she stared at her coldly, probably waiting for her next move. Gina picked up her spoon, and just when she was about eating, her mum raised an alarm.

"Hey!, what do you think you're doing? Get your butt off my chair now, Disgusting little brat!" Gina's mum yelled out in irritation, while Gina flung up on her feet

"But mum, today is your birthday, i only thought It would be nice if we have dinner together as a family" Gina said placing down her spoon, but her mom stood up with an augmentative force and hit her across her cheek

"Don't you ever call me your mom, bastard!!" Gina's mom cursed with a thundering voice.

Gina held her cheek using her both hands as she ran back to her room in tears, she didn't know why her mom despise her so much. Her mum has never showed her any motherly love, she kept doing her best to please her mom but her hatred for her was deep. Things has always been like that for the past 21 years of Gina's miserable life, her mom is never at home and even when she is home, she always makes life miserable for her and kept telling her how much she hates her and regret having her as a child. At that moment, the only family Gina had in her life was her Grandma. Her grandma was totally different from her mum, she used to be the best thing that has ever happened to her, not until her death. the happiest moments of Gina's life had always been when her grandma comes visiting, but her mum is always in a hurry to send her away. She knew it wasn't easy to train up a child after being raped at a young age and conceiving for an unknown rapist. But it was definitely not her fault that her mom gave birth to her as a result of the rape and was forced to nurture her. She only wish her mom would learn to let go of the past and accept her as her daughter.

***************************

As soon as Gina's mom finished her meal, she went straight to her room to get ready for work. As she sat in front of her mirror, she couldn't help but admire the pretty face in front of her, she was 38, but still look more like a young teenage girl. She has vowed never to let anyone frustrate or cause her distress, all in the name of parental responsibility, not even her own daughter. She picked up her makeup blender and dabbed it against her wrinkled chin.

shortly, she heard her phone ringing out loud, so she placed down the blender and picked up her phone. She beamed a delightful smile immediately she saw who the caller was, it was Mr Jones. Mr Jones was her boss and the CEO of JN night club, that was where she works as a stripper. Her boss only calls her whenever there are rich clients requesting for her service. She's not so proud of her job as a stripper but she isn't ashamed of it either. Of cause, one can't be ashamed of their only means of survival. She has been a stripper ever since she gave birth to Gina and she isn't planning of quiting anytime soon.

"Hello Jones!!" Miss Sonia beamed upon answering the call.

"Sonia, there is a wealthy client from Mexico requesting for no one else but you, So you need to be on your way immediately" Mr. Jones said quickly and ended the call.

miss Sonia picked up her car key from her drawer and headed out. when she got to the sitting room, she couldn't find any trace of Gina, but that was literally not her problem, Gina was 21, and was old enough to take good care of herself, including her feeding expenses, so she'll definitely sort out something to eat whenever she's hungry. and by that, miss Sonia left the house hurriedly.
