We entered his car, he drove us straight to a restaurant that is close to the school. food was ordered and I began to eat I don't know of my uncle but immediately that say, I started eating. have not eaten since yesterday and I feel like they will take the food away from me. it has been a long teasel-made food. I finished mine and notice that the ordered food is untouched. I collected it and start eating. I finish the whole food, even licking the plate. After eating I look up to see my uncle staring at me with tears in his eyes.
''Are you ok? you look so sick. you are wearing a hoodie in this hot weather. you look if as you are serving. I barely recognize you. please tell me it is not what am thinking?'' he gets up from his chair, comes to me, and raises my hoodie to see the scars on my shoulder. he was shocked to see it, he began to check my body. I was embarrassed, people were watching us.
''oh my God! Christabel who did this to you?''
''its okay uncle. what matters is that you are here now.''
''so help me God! What I will do to that devil my brother married has a wife who will hate crossing paths with me. I will make sure that she rots in jail. I will make sure of that, she will not see the sunlight again in this her life.''
''But what happens, uncle, no massage, no call, nothing. it was as if you disappeared from thin air.''
''it's Kate, she left me after having Andre.'' he look so down
''oh my God! what happens? ''
''she said I was not there for her throughout her pregnancy stage, so she left. After the divorce and everything, I came back."
"I'm so sorry uncle. I always thought that you left without even knowing that you are passing through hell. Did she allow you to see him?"
"yes. three times a week."
"it is a loss that she left don't worry she will regret it in the future."
"Enough of talking about me. tell me everything that happened, why are you like this? What has she been doing to you that made you look like this?"
"Life has been a living hell for me a month after you left. She, first of all, fired all the workers at home without employing new ones, except Junior's nanny. She turned me into the cleaner and chef."
"What?"
"yes, I do the cooking and cleaning. sometimes, after cleaning she will say that I did not clean it well. She will beat me to the extent that I can't move yet she will tell me to get up and start cleaning again. And anytime I cook, it always ends up on my body no matter how hot it is. I have to learn how to do all those things the hard way."
"Why did you not report her to the police?"
"hmm, I did. No one believes me."
"but the evidence is all over your body."
"with a doctor's report that I don't know how she gets it, it becomes self-harm."
"They did not investigate?"
"I was tagged as a wicked little girl. She was even asked to send me to a psychiatric hospital because I was mentally unstable. No one believes me. Last month, she asked for that envelope that was given to me by my dad before he died. I told her that I don't know where it is. She tortured me. I was tied to a chair and flogged mercilessly until there was blood everywhere. I..." tears did not allow me to finish the story as I remembered all the pains that I passed through. l looked up at my uncle to see him crying like a baby. I did not even notice until now.
"Uncle. uncle, it's okay. You are here now, everything is back to normal."
"I'm so sorry angel. But how could she? I thought she loves you."
"she blamed me for Dad and Mom's death, that is why when you disappeared I never felt bad at least, I will not lose you because I began to believe her words."
"That is a lie from the pit of hell Princess. You did not kill your father or your mother. It wasn't your fault. Please wipe those thoughts from your brain ok?" I wiped my tears and smile tearfully.
"you are here uncle." I get up from my chair, went to him, and hugged him. Everything is fine now my uncle is here with me, and my stepmom will not hurt me again. people will now believe me. My uncle will fight for me and review to the world how wicked my stepmom is and how badly she treated me. She will rot in jail. My uncle will make sure of that.....
