When Amelia\u2019s father gave her a soap bar and told her to take cold showers with it, she never thought he had an evil, hidden agenda behind it. Her world turned upside down when her boyfriend told her the horrifying truth about that soap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve always been Daddy\u2019s little girl, but now I feel like throwing up when I say those words. I\u2019m not his little girl, and he\u2019s not the man I always thought he was. Let me tell you why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I\u2019ve always been close to my father, like REALLY close. I\u2019m 23, and I lived with my parents up until a month ago because Dad never wanted me to move away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had given me the second floor of the house where I had my bedroom and a bathroom. Those two rooms of the house solely belonged to me. They were my safe space until the day Dad began to complain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My father is one of those people with a personality resembling a coconut. You know, hard on the outside and soft on the inside. He has these strict rules and principles that he abides by, but he also has this empathy inside that makes him the best Dad ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCharacter is built in discomfort,\u201d he\u2019d always tell me. \u201cYou gotta face the worst now if you want a life full of luxuries ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he\u2019d also buy me chocolates and ice cream on days I didn\u2019t feel good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, my mother has always been the typical loving mom. She\u2019s always ready for hugs and kisses and never says no whenever I ask her to cook my favorite pasta. She has always been a sweetheart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, I recently felt that my parents were not the same anymore. Over the past few months, they had grown cold, and the love and care had suddenly vanished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, I sometimes felt like I was living with two strangers in the house. It felt like we had lost the connection we always had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then began the unnecessary complaints and nitpicking from Dad\u2019s side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou and your friends were too loud last night!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re staying out too late, Amy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re spending too much on unnecessary things!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then came the complaint that really snatched my self-confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A woman looking straight ahead | Source: Midjourney<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou smell horrible, go take a cold shower and use the soap I gave you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I smell horrible? What?<\/em> I thought. Where did that come from?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was the day when Dad handed me this soap I had never seen before. It was a green, chunky soap bar that smelled a bit weird, but Dad had asked me to use it, assuring it would help get rid of the unpleasant body odor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

His words made me feel so self-conscious that I had even stopped hanging out with my boyfriend, Henry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often found myself smelling my skin, clothes, hair, and even my breath, just to check what made my father feel so uncomfortable around me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I followed his advice and used that soap whenever I took a shower. Or, if I may put it correctly, I took five showers a day just to use that soap and get rid of the smell that had apparently been haunting my father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I scrubbed my skin so hard that I stripped it of the moisture it needed. My skin had begun to look dry, scaly, and so rough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even then, my father said I still smelled like rotten onions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDid you use that soap, Amy? I don\u2019t think you did,\u201d he\u2019d say. \u201cYou smell so bad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What shocked me even more was that my mother didn\u2019t say a word when Dad humiliated me like that every day. She didn\u2019t say anything in my defense or stop me from being so hard on myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mom and I had always been close. She was the only person I shared everything with since I was a kid. I\u2019d always tell her about my latest crush, my new boyfriend, and even the new slang I\u2019d learned at school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn\u2019t believe it when she stood silently, avoiding my gaze, while Dad kept grilling me. I won\u2019t ever forgive Mom for not being there for me when I needed her the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I kept showering with the soap, and my clothes always clung to me because they were damp from the frequent showers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, I began avoiding my father. I\u2019d always scurry up to my room and lock the door whenever he returned home from work. I didn\u2019t want him to see me. Or, more specifically, smell me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The turning point came when my boyfriend, Henry, came over. We had been dating for a few months, and he was the one bright spot in my increasingly bleak days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Henry has always been the supportive boyfriend, the green flag we all look for. He\u2019s always been kind to me, and he came over that day because he had noticed I had been avoiding him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhere have you been, Amy?\u201d he asked as he held me by my arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was\u2026 I was just busy with some stuff, Henry,\u201d I faked a smile. \u201cI\u2019m fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReally? You don\u2019t look fine, babe,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m okay, Henry,\u201d I said as I held his hand. \u201cTell me one thing\u2026 Do I smell bad?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He laughed, thinking I was kidding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, babe. You smell fine. Why?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNothing. I just\u2026\u201d I mumbled. \u201cForget it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be right back,\u201d he said before going to the bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few minutes later, I watched him step out of the bathroom with the soap bar in his hand. I could see he wasn\u2019t too happy about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho gave you this?! Are you taking cold showers with this?!?\u201d he asked with eyes wide open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How did he know this?<\/em> I thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, my Dad. Why?\u201d I asked, trying my best not to panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t tell you, did they?! Baby, this isn\u2019t soap! It\u2019s used to strip industrial machinery of grease and grime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWait, what?\u201d I was shocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis stuff is toxic, Amy. It causes chemical burns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t explain how betrayed and heartbroken I felt at that point. How could my father do this to me? To his daughter who he loved so much?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s when it all started to make sense to me. The dry, itchy skin and the weird texture of the soap bar. It also made me wonder if my mother knew about this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think we need to go to the hospital to get you checked,\u201d Henry said. \u201cAnd then, we\u2019re going to the police. This is abuse, Amy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know why, but I stopped him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I knew he was telling the truth, but I couldn\u2019t put the words \u201cabuse\u201d and \u201cDad\u201d together. I had never seen Dad in a negative light, and I didn\u2019t like how those words fit in the same sentence and made so much sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, I couldn\u2019t accept that my father had tried to hurt me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t do that,\u201d I told Henry. \u201cWe can\u2019t go to the police.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut why?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll explain that later,\u201d I said. \u201cPlease just help me get out of here. I\u2019ll confront my parents later.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He agreed, and we moved into a small apartment a few days later. It was cramped and barely furnished, but it felt like a safe haven compared to what I had endured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, it was time for me to confront my parents. I drove back to their house the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I arrived, Dad was in his usual spot, watching TV in the living room, and Mom was in the kitchen. I walked in with the soap bar in my hand and stood in front of my dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI never thought you\u2019d do this to me, Dad,\u201d I said as I held the soap bar high enough for him to see. \u201cThis is toxic. It\u2019s poison. It ruined my skin. Why did you do this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, so you finally found what it is, huh?\u201d he smirked. \u201cYou needed to learn a lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lesson?\u201d I laughed. \u201cYou nearly killed me. For what? Because you thought I smelled bad?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease stop this!\u201d My mother finally intervened. \u201cAmy, yo\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou knew, Mom, didn\u2019t you?\u201d I cut her off. \u201cYou were a part of this ridiculous plan, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I watched tears trickle down her cheeks, but she didn\u2019t say a word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy did you do this to me, Dad?\u201d I confronted my father. \u201cI need to know!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn\u2019t ready for his response. I had no idea it would turn my world upside down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou want to know why?\u201d he said, almost to himself. \u201cFine. When your mother and I went on that vacation last year, we had a little too much to drink. We ended up in a crowd, where a fortune teller told me that your mother had been unfaithful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A man looking straight ahead | Source: Midjourney<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are you talking about?\u201d I asked as my heart flipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s true,\u201d he continued. \u201cWhen I confronted your mother the next morning, she told me the truth. She told me you weren\u2019t mine. You\u2019re the result of an affair she had while I was working hard for us in another country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I looked at my mom, who couldn\u2019t meet my gaze. Then, I looked back at Dad as he continued to speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour mother begged me not to leave her because she didn\u2019t want to break our family apart,\u201d he shook his head. \u201cSo, I agreed. But on one condition. I had to make her pay, and you too. Because YOU ARE NOT MY DAUGHTER!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My heart shattered into a million pieces that day. I couldn\u2019t believe my father had this evil side. The evil personality that was so hungry for unjust revenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou mean you gave me that toxic soap because you were angry at Mom? Because you thought I was not your daughter?\u201d I asked as the tears in my eyes blurred my vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not my daughter,\u201d he said and turned around. \u201cYou\u2019re not my blood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the next few seconds, I stared at his back in silence, wondering why he punished me for something that wasn\u2019t my fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlright, I\u2019m done with you,\u201d I said as I wiped away my tears. \u201cYou\u2019ll be hearing from my lawyer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And with that, I stepped out of the house that was once my haven. Over the next few days, I visited the hospital multiple times for my skin treatment and talked to my lawyer regarding how I could file a case against my parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, my father received a notice of the restraining order and the impending lawsuit. With that, his smug confidence was shattered, and his reputation was in ruins. His entire circle was disgusted by his actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Mom tried to get in touch with me, but I didn\u2019t reply to any of her calls or texts. If she couldn\u2019t take a stand for me, why should I even bother talking to her? I was done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, living with Henry, I feel a sense of peace that had been missing from my life for ages. I don\u2019t remember the last time I had laughed this much in my own house. I can\u2019t thank fate enough for blessing me with a man like Henry. I have no idea what I\u2019d do without him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
