Perfect SCARS

Philip's POV

I lay on the bed and watch the annoying TV program....
I can't wait to leave this hospital.. It makes me feel even more sick

The door fling open and she walked in, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen... She was carrying a basket and looked really pale but having her here as made my mood alot better

She dropped the basket beside my bed and sat on the bed with me. She must have been crying alot
I reached for her hand and wrapped my hand in around hers
Now am grateful my hands are not numb

"Hey...... "

"Heyyy "

"How are you feeling.. "

"Better than I was..... Am glad you are here, what did you bring "

"Fruits and sandwiches... I didn't want to waste time cooking.. "

"Am glad you didn't..... I needed you here by my side.. This surpasses every meal in this world"

"You seem to have forgotten.. Your love for food is out of this world "

"It is nothing compared to how I feel about you..... "

"I should go... I don't want any more trouble with Julie "

"No... Pls stay you just got here,"

"Look am trying to avoid any issue with your wife "

"There's no issue.... Angel... No issue, I've  spoken to her and she understands that "

"That what... "

"That you are the only woman I have ever loved besides................
there's something I need to tell you "

"What is it"

"I'm telling you this not because I need your sympathy or make excuses for what I did... Am telling you this because I have kept it within for so long and there's no one else I can trust but you "

She sighed

"My parents were business minded people... They were so committed to making money that they forgot about me.... Their only child
They kept me in a mansion with my nanny
When I wake up in the morning she's always there.. I barely see them
It was like they had entrusted my safekeeping to her while they traveled around the world like they had no obligations towards me
I missed them so much and the loneliness begun to make me withdraw from all form of socializing"

I sigh and look away but she held my chin back so I was facing her

"All of a sudden.... My nanny became a sadist and a drunk... If I didn't know her during her happy and cheerful days I would have said she was a demon released from the pit of hell.... at first she was growing wild all by herself but soon she just involved me in her madness
Whenever she was bathing me, she would spend a long time massaging and rubbing in between my legs
When I got uncomfortable I told I would bath myself but she got really upset. She wouldn't make food for me and the cabinet were too high
Even if I climb the kitchen stool my hand were still flying below it
I did try to stand on my toes I tripped over and twisted my ankle "

She was glaring at me with tears in her eyes and I couldn't go on... I can't keep making her cry

"How old ..... How old were you then"
She asked softly

"Eight..... "

"Oh... My God... Why didn't you tell anyone... Your parents... Your teachers anybody "

"I couldn't tell my parents because they were never around and I would have told my teachers but she started bribing me...... Making all sorts of delicious meals that I couldn't resist, and I was just a child..... I had been starved for awhile.... A little meal was like Christmas to me "

"So in exchange for the meal... You had to... "

"I had to keep satisfying her "

"Ohhh.. God "
Tears drop from her eyes and I reached to wipe them off she leaned into my hand and held it

"It went on and on until I was fourteen.. By then she was not only making me have sex with her.. She was doing it all the time downing me with alcohol ..... I had no idea our gateman had found out and she had threaten him with a mistake he made in the past allowing armed robbers into the house by forgetting to lock the doors . He had kept to himself all these years to avoid getting into trouble... Until he couldn't take it anymore and called my parents.. They came home unannounced one day and caught us together.....
My mom almost killed her but my dad was able to hold her back.. They called the cops and she was arrested not long she died in prison "

"But it was so difficult for me to adjust... I had grown to enjoy The things she made me do...... So with all the medications and therapy I got, I didn't get better..... I blamed my parents for my addictions which was why I squandered all their money and cost them so much pain but I was also ambitious..... I decided to make a name for myself but my addictions never left me and as much as I try to control it... It didn't work..... I was just jumping from one body to another but never satisfied... Until you came "

She shifted uncomfortable on the bed
This was a sensitive part for her

"Where are your parents now"

"They are dead.... Mom fell sick and dad died shortly after "

"That must have been horrible for you "

"But that doesn't justify what I did to you ... Inflicting so much pain on you just because of some disaster I went through while I was a child "

"That is in the past...... it is painful to remember but what would we gain to if we choose to  relive the memories "

"I know I may not be the only victim of this, alot of children could be suffering from the same thing or even worse... I wish there is a way to stop this "

"What if ...... there's a way "

"What"

"There's always a way... Do you trust me "

"Of course "

"Then let's do this together, we are going to put down those perpetrators down for good "

"You seem to have forgotten that I was once a perpetrator "

"But You are not one anymore and that's what that matters, You are are remorseful and wish things had been done differently. I am telling you now Philip Barry Jackson that I forgive you wholeheartedly and am willing put all these sadness behind and start on a clean slate"

He gasped in surprise
"I will not take that for granted my lady.... Am really flattered by your kind gesture. This means the world to me thank you so much Angel. I love you so much "
