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.

On the bedside table in a big room, the phone kept ringing. It annoyed Anne Luo to no end.

She struggled to grab the sheets from under her body as she snapped at the man next to her, "Kevin Fu, you–" Before she could finish her words, the man made her groan in pleasure.

She didn't even have the strength to glare at him anymore as she gritted her teeth.

It was as if her entire body had softened underneath him like a bag of putty.

The man slowly got off of Anne's body. He smiled lazily before reaching out to pick up the phone on the bedside table.

"Honey, I'm coming soon. Are you waiting for me in the living room?" There was a short pause before he nodded. "I'll take a shower first, okay? Love you."

The man beside her was incredibly tall with a muscled physique. His tight muscles were charming and sexy, especially with the sweat running all over his skin. There was something about his eyes that was soft and kind. They were filled with love and affection,

but Anne Luo knew for a fact that those feelings weren't for her.

His tenderness only belonged to one person.

Hearing his sweet voice, she froze in an instant.

With a cold face, Anne Luo wrapped herself with the blanket that had fallen to the ground while Kevin Fu strode into the bathroom to take a shower.

The bathroom door was slightly open, and she could hear water pouring onto the tiles.

She stared at the room around her. All of the items were imported from D Country. That meant that every furniture here probably cost a fortune.

This was one of the rooms in the Fu Family's villa, but Anne Luo felt that the room was no different from all the five star hotels that she had been to.

"Go downstairs and take a photo for me." While she was too busy staring at her surroundings, Kevin Fu had already walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower.

His voice was indifferent, as if she was just another toy that he could mess with.

He actually despised her so much. Although she was his wife, he held no feelings for her.

The only reason they were together was to fulfill the obligation they had for each other. All she did was go to bed at this time of every day. It was clearly written on the contract that she must be pregnant with his child by the end of the year.

If she couldn't bear his child, then all her shares of the AN Group would be repossessed and she had no choice but to be kicked out of A City.

The AN Group was the top company on the Forbes List, soaring so high up that none of the companies could ever compare with it.

Its president, Kevin Fu, was a legend in the making. When he was just seventeen, he had already doubled the net worth of the AN Group, ranking it up from seventh on the Forbes List to first.

He was declared as the 'Man Women Most Want To Marry' three times in a row. He was also declared as the 'Legendary Man Across the Globe'.

Judging from the tone of his voice, Anne Luo knew that his sweetheart must already be waiting downstairs.

"I'm not a professional photographer," she said bluntly.

"I told you to do it, so you will." He glared at her. His eyes were as cold as night. "Are you really that stupid that you don't even know how to use a phone? Then maybe you shouldn't be Vice President of the An Group."

"You!" Anger boiled in her heart, and she gritted her teeth.

Without even casting her a glance, Kevin Fu strode out of the room. "Don't forget that you have dinner in the Cloud and Heaven tonight. If you were late and caused any losses, you will have to make up for all."

Staring at his receding figure, Anne Luo clenched her fists. For him, nothing was as important as his sweetheart.

Loosening her grip, she headed towards her wardrobe to get her clothes.

In order to get her shares, she needed to endure all of this, but was that really just her goal? Her heart trembled,

and her eyes glistened with sadness.

After a long time, Anne Luo quickly put on a long dress. Except for the small discomfort on her lower limbs, Kevin Fu didn't leave any trace on her body.

He disdained every time he did it.

If there wasn't a contract already, he wouldn't even want to touch her.

Bearing the pain in her hips, she went downstairs.

In the hall, Kevin Fu was taking photos with Cherry Ye, his beloved girlfriend.

Cherry was wearing a snow-white dress. It enveloped her figure perfectly, and it even highlighted her beautiful face.

They were a match made in heaven.

Just then, Kevin Fu saw that Anne Luo was already on her way down.

The smile on his face faltered. "What took you so long?" he snapped.

Anne Luo suppressed her anger. In reality, all she wanted was to hit the man on the face.

Cherry Ye, her cousin, was snuggled up in Kevin Fu's arms. She smiled apologetically at Anne. "It's Kevin who insisted on taking a photo of us together and posting it on our WeChat Moments. He said that he should post one on my birthday every year," she explained.

Anne didn't even care for the reason as she reached out her hand over to Kevin Fu. "Your phone."

Kevin threw her the phone before smiling dotingly at Cherry.
