Victoria was born with a face so beautiful that it was deadly from the moment she entered the world something strange happened everyone in the hospital who saw her died instantly the doctors nurses even visitors who came too close all of them fell lifeless to the ground the only people who survived were her parents who loved her deeply but feared the curse she carried as Victoria grew her parents realized they had to protect her from the world and the world from her her mother decided to homeschool her keeping her away from everyone Victoria was smart very
smart she learned everything quickly reading books and solving math problems like a genius but even though she was so intelligent she was lonely she didn't have friends and she never played outside like other children she could never let anyone see her face when Victoria turned 18 her parents decided it was time for her to attend University they couldn't keep her hidden forever but to protect others she wrapped her face tightly with cloth covering her beauty only her eyes peaked out from behind the layers of fabric she was always careful not to let anyone see her
true face at the University Victoria became known for her Brilliance she aced every exam finished every assignment before anyone else and her professors praised her but she didn't care about the praise she just wanted to get through the day without hurting anyone despite her intelligence some students didn't understand why she covered her face every day rumors spread quickly some said she was hiding scars others thought she was just weird one of the loudest voices came from Bella the school bully Bella was always showing off thinking she was better than everyone else she liked to pick
on people and Victoria became her favorite Target one day Bella marched up to Victoria in front of a group of students hey Victoria why do you always cover your face are you hiding something ugly under there Bella sneered folding her arms the other students giggled waiting to see what Victoria would do Victoria stood calmly her eyes fixed on Bella she didn't say anything for a moment then finally replied I bet you don't want to see my real face Bella laughed oh come on if you're not ugly prove it show everyone here what you look like
Victoria shook her head her voice steady trust me you don't want to see but Bella wouldn't stop every day she would taunt Victoria if you're not scared take that cloth off your face she would say and the students would laugh behind her Victoria ignored them she knew the danger she didn't want anyone to die because of her but no matter how hard she tried to stay focused on her studies Bella and her friends wouldn't leave her alone one afternoon while Victoria was walking to class Bella blocked her path today's the day Bella said her eyes
full of mischief you're going to show everyone if you're not not ugly prove it the crowd around them grew curious about what would happen next Victoria looked at Bella for a long moment then said softly if I show you it won't end well for you Bella smirked rolling her eyes sure whatever you say you're just too scared to show your face Victoria took a deep breath she didn't want to hurt anyone but she was tired of the constant teasing she stepped closer to Bella and said you think I'm hiding because I'm ugly you're wrong I'm
hiding to protect you the crowd fell silent Bella's smile faltered but she didn't back down I don't need your protection take off the cloth or admit that you're a coward Victoria's heart raced she wanted to tell Bella the truth to explain that her face wasn't just beautiful it was deadly but she knew Bella wouldn't believe her so she turned away refusing to give in to the bully demands as the days passed Bella kept mocking her you're just scared of being judged she would outout but Victoria remained silent focused on her studies she didn't want to
give Bella the satisfaction of a reaction still the other student started whispering more why won't she show her face do you think there's something wrong with her maybe she's cursed Joshua was one of the most handsome boy in the University almost every girl liked him he was confident charming and very popular but Joshua wasn't interested in settling down with anyone he enjoyed all the attention he got Bella who always had a mean plan up her sleeve decided to use Joshua to carry out her latest scheme one day during lunch she walked up to him flipping
her hair and smiling sweetly Joshua she said sitting next to him I need you to do something for me Joshua raised an eyebrow what now Bella another one of your tricks Bella grinned oh this one's really good it's about that strange girl Victoria you know the one who always covers her face Joshua replied yeah I have seen her what about her Bella leaned closer her voice full of excitement I want you to get close to her pretend to be her friend make her trust you then when she falls asleep give her something to make her
sleep deeper take off her face cover and snap a picture of her real face send the photo to me and I will take care of the rest Joshua frowned why do you care about her she's not bothering anyone Bella rolled her eyes she thinks she's better than everyone else hiding her face like she's some big secret I bet she's really ugly under that cover I want to show everyone what she's hiding Joshua hesitated he wasn't a fan of Bella's mean games and this plan felt wrong but Bella wasn't someone you could easily say no to
she had a way of pressuring people to do what she wanted Joshua knew what Bella wanted him to do and though he wasn't sure about it he agreed he figured it would be easy to befriend Victoria after all she was quiet and didn't have many friends he started by sitting near her during lectures pretending to be interested in what the professor was saying at First Victoria didn't pay much attention to him she was used to people either ignoring her or mocking her from a distance but Joshua was different he didn't tease her or laugh like
the others he always smiled at her which made her suspicious one day Joshua sat beside her in the library hey he said his voice friendly you are Victoria right Victoria looked up her eyes peeking out from behind the cloth covering her face yes she said slowly hope no problem Joshua leaned back in his chair pretending to be casual I have seen you around you seem interesting I thought we could be friends Victoria frowned nobody ever wanted to be her friend most people avoided her and those who didn't usually had something mean to say why would
you want to be friends with someone like me she asked Joshua laughed lightly why not you're smart and you don't follow the crowd that's cool Victoria didn't respond she didn't trust him but he didn't seem like the others he wasn't laughing at her or trying to make her feel bad still she didn't let her guard down over the next few days Joshua kept trying he would sit next to her during class walk with her after lectures and bring her small snacks like a candy bar or a bottle of juice slowly Victoria began to warm up
to him she started talking to him about her favorite books and how much she loved science for the first time she felt like someone was listening to her one evening Joshua told her they should study together in her room you are so smart Victoria he said with a grin I could use your help with some of these assignments Victoria hesitated but agreed she thought maybe just maybe she had finally found a friend she even made te for him when he arrived Joshua smiled as he took the cup but in his pocket was a small packet
of powder Bella had given him it was a sleeping drug as Victoria turned her back to grab a book Joshua quickly poured the powder into her cup here he said handing her the tea you deserve a break Victoria smiled behind her cloth taking a sip they talked for a while but soon her eyelids began to feel heavy I think I'm getting sleepy she said yawning Joshua nodded pretending to be concerned you have been working so hard get some rest I will pack up and leave Victoria lay down on her bed still holding on to the
hope that she had found a true friend within minutes she was fast asleep Joshua waited until he was sure she wouldn't wake up his hands shook slightly as he walked to her bed he felt guilty Victoria had been nothing but kind to him but Bella's voice echoed in his mind take off her face cover and get a photo slowly he reached out and began untying the cloth with each knot he loosened his heart heart raced finally the cloth fell away and he froze Victoria's face was revealed and it was unlike anything he had ever seen
she wasn't ugly far from it her beauty was unexplainable almost magical it wasn't just her looks there was something about her face that Drew him in something too powerful for words but before he could even think a wave of Darkness hit him his chest tightened his vision blurred and his legs gave out he gasped for hair but it was no use the overwhelming force of her beauty was too much for him to handle in seconds Joshua collapsed to the floor lifeless a few minutes later Victoria woke up feeling groggy she sat up and noticed her
face covering lying on the floor her heart sank she looked around and saw Joshua lying on the ground his eyes wide open and unblinking Joshua she whispered crawling toward him she shook his shoulder but he didn't move Panic filled her chest as she realized what had happened he had seen her face and now he was dead tears streamed down her face as she tied the cloth back over her head why did you do this Joshua why didn't you listen she cried the noise attracted attention from other students in the dorm when someone opened her door
and saw Joshua's body they screamed soon security was called and the police arrived shortly after the officers found Victoria sitting beside Joshua's body her face covered once again what happened here one of them asked his voice Stern Victoria's voice trembled as she replied he saw my face that's all it takes I didn't mean to hurt him I warned everyone but No One Believes Me the police didn't know what to think some of them had heard stories about her condition but had dismissed them as rumors after interviewing her parents and piecing together the events they decided
she wasn't a criminal this isn't murder one of the the officers said quietly to his colleague she's not doing this on purpose it's something else Victoria was released later that night as her parents held her tightly she whispered I don't want to hurt anyone else maybe I should just stay away from everyone forever Victoria her mother said sitting next to her you can't run and hide from everyone forever I know you're scared but you have to keep going you've worked so hard to get here and you can't give up now Victoria looked down feeling like
everything was falling apart but Mom it's so hard people stare at me and they don't understand what if they see my face and and something bad happens again her mother took her hand gently I understand your fear sweetheart but you can't let that stop you you need to finish school for yourself don't let fear control your life people may say things they may stare but that doesn't Define who you are you're strong and you have so much to to offer the world Victoria wiped away a tear what about Bella she always tries to make me
feel small she's been bullying me for so long how do I deal with her her mother smiled brushing her hair back you have to mind your own business Victoria people like Bella will always try to bring others down but you don't have to let her don't listen to what bullies say focus on your own path and keep your eyes on your goals you are in control of your own story Victoria nodded slowly thinking about her mother's words it wasn't going to be easy but she had to try I will try Mom I don't want to
hide anymore her mother hugged her tightly that's my girl you can do anything you set your mind to I'm here for you every step of the way the next day Victoria went to school feeling a little nervous but determined to face her fears she had made up her mind to ignore the bullies and focus on her studies as she walked through the always she tried to keep her head down and walk quickly to her first class but when she entered the library she saw Bella sitting with a group of girls Bella immediately spotted her and
stood up walking toward Victoria well well well here comes the ugly killer Bella said looking at Victoria did your Rich parents bribe the police to get you out I'm sure that's the only reason they let you go free you are just a monster hiding behind that cloth Victoria's heart pounded in her chest she had been expecting this but it still hurt she tried to ignore Bella and keep walking but Bella wasn't done you think you're special just because your parents have money don't you Bella continued you're lucky they're rich otherwise you'd be in jail right
now for killing someone you're a freak Victoria felt her anger building but instead of running away she stopped and turned to face Bella at least I'm not like you Victoria said her voice steady you have slept with almost every handsome boy in this school just to get attention what's that make you huh You're the one who's a joke Bella's face turned red it's none of your business who I date you think I care about your opinion I love fine men wherever I see one I will make sure I have him you should be ashamed hiding
away from everyone like a coward Victoria stood tall not backing down I'm not ashamed of who I am you should be ashamed though instead of focus fing on your studies you've been in this school forever and still haven't graduated maybe if you spent more time in class and less time trying to impress boys you might actually finish school Bella was quiet for a moment then scoffed you are just jealous because I'm popular and you're a nobody Victoria shook her head I'm not jealous of you Bella I'm focused on my future something you should try doing
for once Bella didn't have anything else to say so she turned and walked back to her group of friends Victoria stood there for a moment her heart racing she had stood up for herself she had spoken her truth and it felt good a week later A very handsome boy named Dennis arrived at the school as soon as he walked through the gates every girl couldn't stop talking about how good looking he was his tall figure confident smile and friendly eyes made him stand out from the rest Victoria heard whispers about him as she walked down
the hall all the girls were in awe and some were already daydreaming about him when Bella first saw him her eyes lit up she immediately knew she wanted him she turned to her friends and said I must have him he's perfect some of her friends nodded agreeing with her but a few others rolled their eyes they were tired of Bella's constant need for attention and her habit of chasing after any boy she thought was handsome the next day Bella with a determined look on her face walked up to Dennis in the hallway her friends followed
behind her Whispering excitedly hey Dennis Bella said her voice sweet I've noticed you're new here how about we become friends I can show you around and help you get settled Dennis didn't even look up at her he kept walking ignoring her completely Bella's smile faded and her friends started to giggle they couldn't believe it Bella had been rejected Bella stopped in her tracks her face turning a little red with embarrassment heun's just playing hard to get she muttered don't worry I will get him this is how men behave at first they act like they don't
care but deep down they are interested her friends weren't so sure they had seen this happen before Bella always thought she could get any guy she wanted but sometimes it didn't work out the way she planned I'm not giving up Bella continued her voice more confident now I know what I'm doing and if he doesn't come to me I will make him I will use my money to get him from the way he looks I don't think he comes from a rich family she said I bet if I offer him the things he wants he'll
change his mind about me her friends gave her doubtful looks but didn't say anything they knew Bella's ways and deep down they wondered if she would succeed this time Bella wasn't one to give up easily especially when she had her eyes set on something or someone soon Dennis started to like Victoria he found her very friendly and smart she was kind to everyone and her intelligence amazed him he loved talking to her during breaks and soon they became close friends Victoria was always happy to help him with schoolwork and Dennis appreciated how well she explained
things the more he got to know her the more he admired her but not everyone was happy about their growing friendship Dennis's friends noticed that he was spending more time with Victoria and less time with them they didn't understand why he was so interested in her especially since she was a bit of an outsider at school they warned him to stay away from her saying she wasn't the right type of person to be friends with but Dennis didn't listen to them he liked Victoria and that was all that mattered to him Bella soon found out
that Dennis and Victoria were spending a lot of time together when she heard this she was Furious she couldn't believe that Dennis the handsome boy she had tried to win over was now friends with the one person she hated most Bella's jealousy took over and she stormed up to Victoria you think you're so clever don't you Bella snapped standing in front of Victoria you're a witch using your tricks to steal my man away from me Victoria laughed loudly shaking her head who's your man she asked somebody who doesn't even know you exist keep dreaming loser
she crossed her arms and looked at Bella with anger in her eyes for your information Dennis and I are just friends we are not dating and we never will be Bella's face turned bright red with anger don't act like you're better than me she hissed you don't belong in this school you're nothing but a freak who hides behind that cloth Victoria wasn't afraid she stood tall and looked Bella straight in the eye I'm not here to play games or be in a relationship like you she said calmly I'm here to study and that's what I
will focus on unlike you who spends all your time trying to impress boys and be popular you're the dumbest girl I ever met Bella's eyes widened with shock she had never expected Victoria to stand up to her like this she was used to bullying people into into submission but now Victoria was speaking out against her you will regret this Bella said you think you're so perfect but you're not I will make sure you regret messing with me Victoria didn't Flinch go ahead Bella she said with a shrug I'm not afraid of you you can't scare
me Bella stared at her for a moment realizing that Victoria wasn't backing down her usual tactics of bullying and intimidation weren't working frustrated she turned and stormed off leaving Victoria Standing Tall when Victoria got home that day she felt a mix of emotions she was proud of herself for standing up to Bella but a part of her still felt uncertain about the future she went straight to her room and sat on her bed her mother was in the kitchen preparing dinner and Victoria knew it was the right time to talk to her after a few
moments she walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table her mother looked up and smiled how was school today dear Victoria sighed and began to tell her about the day Mom graduation is coming soon and I've been thinking a lot about it I want to look nice that day elegant with nice makeup and for once I don't want to hide my face anymore I'm tired of it it's been so long and I just want to feel normal like everyone else her mother's smile faded a little as she listened I understand how you feel
Victoria but we've talked about this before haven't we Victoria nodded yes I know but I feel like I can't keep running away from it I want to live a normal life I don't want to hide anymore her mother gently reached out and took her hand you remember what the prophet told us years ago don't you Victoria felt a knot form in her stomach she had always tried to push those words aside but they always came back yes Mom the prophet said that the curse will only break when I find someone who truly loves me someone
who will love me for who I am not because of anything else but that means I have to wait for someone to fall in love with me first and I can't make anyone love me I can't force it Victoria's heart sank but what if no one ever loves me what if I'm always alone she felt tears welling up in her eyes but she tried to hold them back her mother pulled her into a hug don't be sad my dear it's not something you can Rush the right person will come into your life when the time
is right and until then you focus on what matters most your studies your future you don't have to worry about love right now Victoria felt comforted by her mother's words but a part of her was still troubled she had been focusing so much on her schoolwork pushing love and relationships aside but deep down she wanted to live a life where she didn't have to hide she wanted to be seen for who she really was not just for the curse that she carried she sighed and looked up at her mother I don't want to live like
this forever hiding away from everyone there's someone at school though his name is Dennis he's just a friend we talk sometimes and he's really kind but I know that I can't be more than just a friend to him I can't let anyone get too close to me not with this curse hanging over me her mother smiled softly I'm glad you have a friend like Dennis it's important to have people who care about you but remember your friendship with him doesn't have to be anything more you need to focus on yourself Victoria don't let anyone pressure
you into something you're not ready for Victoria nodded but she still felt confused but Bella she's always coming after me always trying to make me feel small she keeps saying things about Dennis like he's her man I don't even want to deal with her but she keeps making trouble because of a boy her mother gave a small laugh Bella doesn't understand you Victoria she's always looking for attention from the wrong places don't let her drag you down you are worth so much more than anything she could ever offer Victoria smiled a little I know Mom
but sometimes I just wish things were easier I wish I didn't have to hide my face that people could see the real me her mother looked at her lovingly you are perfect just the way you are Victoria you don't need anyone's approval to be happy and when the time comes when the right person enters your life they will love you for who you truly are in school the tension between Bella and Victoria had reached its peak Bella was determined to have the last word especially after Dennis's rejection and the way Victoria seemed to gain respect
from more students Bella however couldn't let that slide she spotted Victoria near the cafeteria calmly reading a book and minding her business with her usual Entourage of friends behind her Bella marched over ready to make a scene Madame face cover Bella called loudly drawing attention from everyone nearby graduation is in 2 weeks are you going to keep hiding your ugly face under that rag or will you finally show us what you look like or are you scared the school will shut down when we all faint from the horror Victoria looked up slowly calm as ever
she closed her book and stood up meeting Bella's glare with her own sharp gaze students started gathering around them sensing another round of drama Victoria smirked lightly and folded her arms thank God graduation is finally here after all these years Bella you're finally leaving this school I was starting to think you were planning to live here forever the students around burst into laughter Bella's face turned red but Victoria wasn't done yet let me guess Victoria continued you must have slept with most of the lecturers to get to this point it's the only explanation for why
someone like you is finally graduating after being here since the dinosaurs walked to the Earth the crowd erupted in louder laughter Bella's jaw dropped in shock but before she could speak Victoria Toria raised a finger silencing her and don't act like you're some rich girl Bella everybody here knows your parents are struggling in a small village while you're here pretending to be something you're not Bella's friends exchanged awkward glances some of them whispering to each other Victoria took a step closer her voice calm but cutting oh and let's not forget Victoria added your so-called big
girl lifestyle everyone knows you've been sleeping with sugar daddies to fund it you're nothing but a fake a poor girl pretending to be rich bullying others to hide your insecurities pathetic the students couldn't hold back anymore the laughter was uncontrollable now some were whispering to each other about Bella's sugar daddy scandals and others were recording the scene on their phones Bella's eyes filled with tears of rage and humiliation you don't know what you are talking about she screamed you think you're better than me because of that face cover you're nothing Victoria nothing Victoria Shrugged if
I'm nothing then what does that make you a jealous bitter little girl who can't stand to see someone else shine good luck with your sugar daddies Bella maybe one of them will finally help you buy a clue Bella couldn't take it anymore she turned and stormed off her face burning with shame her friends hesitated some of them sneaking away to avoid being associated with her as Bella disappeared the students around Victoria clapped and cheered finally someone put her in her place one of them said that was legendary Victoria another added Victoria simply picked up her
book gave them a small nod and walked away with her head held high Bella had been desperate to make Dennis notice her she tried everything wearing her tightest dresses walking past him with exaggerated confidence and even pretending to need his help with schoolwork but Dennis wasn't interested one day she cornered him near the school cafeteria Dennis Bella said with a fake sweet smile flipping her hair I don't know why you're wasting your time with that face covering girl you and I could be the hottest couple in school don't you see it Dennis sighed clearly annoyed
Bella can you stop embarrassing yourself I don't like you I never will you're always chasing after boys causing drama and thinking you're better than everyone it's pathetic the words hit Bella like a slap she stood there frozen trying to process the insult students nearby who had overheard everything began whispering to themselves Bella for once had no comeback she turned and stormed off her face red with humiliation later that evening Dennis decided to tell Victoria how he truly felt he found her sitting under a tree her favorite spot on Campus Victoria he said softly sitting next
to her she turned to him confused what's wrong nothing's wrong Dennis replied I just need to tell you something I have been thinking about it for a while now Victoria raised an eyebrow what is it I love you Dennis said his voice steady but full of emotion I don't care about your face cover or what people say about you you're kind smart and different from anyone I have ever met I don't need to see your face to know how special you are Victoria's heart raced Dennis you say that now but what if I'm ugly what
if what's under this cover is something you can't handle I don't care Dennis said firmly you're F to me no matter what he invited her to his place that weekend to spend time together Victoria hesitated but eventually agreed when she got to Dennis's apartment they talked for hours they laughed shared stories and grew even closer as the evening went on Dennis leaned in and kissed her gently for the first time Victoria felt truly cared for she let herself relax but in the moment Dennis accidentally brushed her face cover and it slipped off Victoria gasped and
pulled away covering her face with her hands not again she cried tears streamed down her face I can't let this happen again you're going to die Dennis but Dennis didn't move he didn't Flinch he simply looked at her his eyes full of kindness Victoria nothing's happening to me I'm fine Victoria slowly lowered her hands her tears still falling she stared at Dennis in disbelief but everyone who sees my face not me Dennis said with a smile I told told you I love you maybe and I think that's why the curse doesn't affect me Victoria couldn't
believe it she hugged Dennis tightly still crying but this time her tears were tears of joy when she got home that night she told her mother everything mom she said her voice trembling Dennis saw my face and nothing happened to him he's alive he loves me and I think the curse is broken her mother's eyes filled with tears of happiness she hugged Victoria tightly my darling I have waited for this day youve found someone who truly loves you and now you're free from The Curse God has answered our prayers the next day Victoria went to
school with a new sense of confidence for the first time in her life she decided to walk in without her face covered as she stepped onto the school grounds heads turned is that Victoria someone whispered shek she's beautiful another said staring in shock all the students were as astonished Bella who had just walked out of the cafeteria froze when she saw Victoria her mouth dropped open this is what you've been hiding Bella said her voice dripping with disbelief Victoria smiled calmly yes this is me surprised maybe next time you'll think twice before judging someone you
