She Treated Me As Guilty Novel – The moment I was born, I was rejected by my parents. My “father” Jake called me a burden, and my mother Elena said I carried the blood of a monster. Whenever Jake lost money gambling, he’d beat me black and blue. I’d scream for Elena to save me, but she’d only cast a cold glance my way. “Don’t call me mom.
You have his blood in you—you’re just as rotten to the core as he is.” This went on until I turned six, when a group of police officers burst into our house and tackled Jake to the floor mid-card game. That’s when I learned the truth, Elena was the daughter of a wealthy family from a big city. She’d been abducted and sold to this village. And me? I was the child she’d been forced to have by her abductor. …… A man in a sharp suit kicked open the door first.
His gaze swept across the room, finally settling on Elena—huddled in the corner, trembling like a leaf. His eyes reddened in an instant.”Elena, I’m so sorry. I got here too late, sis.” Elena lifted her dull, vacant eyes. The second she recognized the man’s face, she couldn’t hold back any longer. She threw herself into his arms and sobbed until her body shook.
The police arrested Jake—the abductor who’d posed as my father—and everyone in the village who’d been part of her ordeal. The man in the suit took off his expensive jacket and draped it over Elena’s thin, shivering shoulders. He reached out, as if to brush her cheek, but when he saw the scars on her face, his hand froze halfway. He curled it into a tight fist at his side. “Elena, let’s go home. I’m taking you back.” Elena nodded, stumbling slightly as she stood up.
She followed her brother Marcus toward a sleek black luxury car—never once glancing in my direction. I panted as I chased after them, my small legs struggling to keep up.”Mom! Mom! Don’t leave me behind, Luna!” Only then did Elena stop walking. Marcus turned around, his eyes cold enough to cut glass.”What do you think you’re doing, following us?” A police officer stepped forward, looking hesitant. “Mr. Carter, the abductor has already been arrested.
Ms. Carter is currently the only capable guardian this child has. Under state law, the child must stay with Ms. Carter for now.” Marcus’s face darkened to a livid shade. He stared at me like I was a pile of rotting trash. “Officer, my sister is in no stable state of mind right now. This… this abomination is the worst nightmare of her life. Making her look at the abductor’s child—isn’t that just re-traumatizing her?” “We get the legal process, but can’t you make an exception? Send the kid to a local orphanage first.
We’ll come pick her up once my sister’s mental health improves.” The officer shook his head, his tone firm. In the end, Marcus turned to his bodyguard, his voice dripping with reluctance.”Put her in the trunk.”
