Instead, the world ended up remembering him for his cowardly crimes.
I discovered that a physical scar can alter a person’s face without ever erasing their identity.
Today, when people ask me who I am, I do not offer victim as my primary answer.
I proudly tell them my name is Genevieve Hayes.
Daughter.
Loyal friend.
Foundation founder.
Unstoppable survivor.
I am a woman who was supposed to be hidden away from the world, but who decided to step forward and take up even more space.
Christian tried to destroy my face so that no one would ever want to look at me again.
His cruelty ended up forcing the entire nation to watch me rise.
THE END.
