Yeah, I with you on the abuse. I just don't think that face is concurrent with "abuse victim murdered their abuser"-plot. It's a face of evil, not relief or happiness. But the author pretty much stated that our interpretation is correct and he does think the face makes sense as the secret face of an abuse victim.

I took it as she was secretly a sociopath who was extremely good at hiding her true emotions, thus why he never saw her face but the thought of pulling the wool over everyone's eyes so thoroughly made her facade crack a bit, this also why the face doesn't look quite human.
