The Heiress They Destroyed Had a Daughter Like Me

My mother married the old bachelor, and seven months later, I was born full-term.

She was the village disgrace. Notorious for it.

To raise me, she let the old bachelor send her to the beds of other men.

She scraped and suffered to put me through school.

But I skipped class, picked fights, and raised hell at every turn.

The neighbor's kid threw a rock at me. I broke his leg.

My uncle's son called me a bastard. I kicked him between the legs hard enough to end his bloodline.

The old bachelor put his hands on me. I cracked his skull open with a brick.
