Cinderella And The Beast

In the trap of arrogant men

Ana wakes up in the morning. The sunlight streamed in through the crack in the window and made her eyes, which had just opened, ache. She closed her eyes for a moment and then slowly opened them again. Ana was surprised to see that the room she was in was dirty and smelly. She really couldn't believe what she was seeing and to make sure, Ana came out of the room immediately. She was so shocked when she saw that the magnificent room was now unkempt, as if it had never been inhabited by anyone.

The woman immediately ran out of the castle. She saw the condition of the castle from the outside, filled with weeds and scattered dry leaves, it looked very scary. Ana then thought about the incident that happened to her last night. Everything seemed so real to her. "Am I just dreaming?"

Ana saw that the dress she was wearing was still the same one she had worn when she first arrived at the castle. "It turns out I was just dreaming." For a moment she felt relieved, but after remembering the man's bite marks on her lips, the woman immediately touched her lips, which felt painful. "What's wrong with me?"

Ana was silent for a moment, thinking, but something immediately distracted her gaze. There was the sound of someone's footsteps coming from inside the castle. A panicked Ana immediately ran to get out of the castle area, but just as Ana was about to get out of the gate, the gate suddenly closed by itself. "No!" Ana tried to open the gate. She even tried to climb the gate.

Two black wolves came out of the castle, ready to pounce on Ana. Ana's face immediately turned pale. She tried to continue climbing, but her dress was torn because it was caught in a thorny rose growing around her. But Ana didn't care, she cared more about her life. The two wolves immediately jumped up and attacked her, making Ana scream in fear and causing her to accidentally let go of the gate. Luckily, someone grabbed her body as she fell. Instead of thanking her, Ana screamed hysterically as she hit the ugly-looking man's chest.

"Let me go!" Ana tried to break out of their embrace.

"I won't let you go." The man led Ana into the castle, while the two wolves waited faithfully outside.

Ana felt strange again, the living room that had been dirty and smelly was now clean and magnificent. She was confused, but it didn't last long because the man forced her up the stairs to her room.

"I don't want to stay with you!" Ana tried to resist, but her attempt failed because the man did not give her a chance. Ana was forced into the room and the man immediately locked her in. Ana tried to open the door by pushing and breaking it. "Open the door! Let me out of here!"

The man heard Ana's pleading voice, wanting to leave the castle immediately.

"Will he love you?" asked the black wolf who suddenly stood in front of him.

"I don't know." The man sighed deeply.

"We are running out of time to wait for your true love."

"I can only wait for the true love of this girl." He was silent for a moment. "How can he love me?" The man was very frustrated.

"Women love jewelry," said the wolf.

The man had an idea, thanks to the advice of the wolf in front of him.

In her room, Ana, who had not eaten since last night, was now hungry. She has nothing to eat, and besides, she is now locked in her room. In the end, she could only suppress her hunger by complaining.

The door opened slowly, giving Ana the chance to leave immediately, but as she ran towards the door, the man quickly stopped her. "Let me go! Let me go!"

"Don't go anywhere!"

Ana was forced to remain silent as the man harassed her with an angry face. She was afraid to see it.

"I brought you food." The man put food on the table. "Eat."

Ana was hungry, especially when she saw the delicious food in front of her. Ana hesitated to eat it, but her stomach couldn't hold it if she didn't eat it right away.

"What are you looking at? Eat it now!"

Ana slowly walked over to the table. Before she touched the food, she looked at the man's face.

"I won't be bad as long as you stay in this castle."

"I don't know if he will change his mind or not, but what is clear is that I have to eat to survive and then think of a way to escape from this place," her heart said.

Seeing Ana about to eat made the man smile, but his smile gave Ana goosebumps because that face was so scary when he smiled.

"I invite you to dinner tonight." After saying that, he left immediately.

Ana ate her food until there was nothing left, and because she was so full, the woman stroked her belly. "Will there be wine tonight? If there is, I have to get him drunk so I can run away from this place, but what about those wolves?"

...

Ana was surprised when two maids dressed in blue entered her room, as she had thought she was the only human in the castle.

"We have a dress and jewelry for you to wear tonight," said Laura, a beautiful brunette.

"Where are you from?" asked Ana.

Laura and Lauren just smiled.

"Why don't you answer my question?" Ana was confused when she saw their expressions.

"We're only in the castle occasionally," Laura replied.

"Can you take me away from here?" Ana asked expectantly.

Laura and Lauren looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Please take me with you." Ana clasped her hands together as she looked at their faces. "I'm getting married soon, and if I wasn't there on my wedding day, the marriage would have failed."

"You married Mr. Xavier, how could you marry another man," Lauren said.

Ana was surprised, she didn't know at all that with a small bite on her lip last night she had legally become the wife of the ugly man. She was furious.

"You have to accept this reality," Laura said.

Ana couldn't express her anger, but one thing she knew was that she had to do something to make the man stop bothering her.

At night, Ana wore a green dress. She went to the dining room with Laura and Lauren. There Xavier, the ugly man, was waiting for them.

"Our job is done. We apologize." Lauren said goodbye to Xavier.

Xavier just nodded his head.

Ana had no appetite when she saw the man's ugly face, especially the hair growing all over the man's body made Ana feel disgusted.

"Why don't you eat?" asked Xavier.

"I'm full from the porridge you gave me this afternoon." Ana still showed her hatred.

"What do you want?"

"I want to see my mother."

"I can't grant your request."

"I don't want to marry you even if you say we are married, and you should have come to my mother to marry me, but if you don't mind, at least let me go and talk to her about our marriage." This time Ana tried to fight her fear by looking into Xavier's eyes. She wanted to persuade Xavier to let her go.

"You and I are not going anywhere!" Xavier scolded Ana. The man had no appetite and instead just walked away, leaving Ana alone with a plate on the table that they hadn't touched yet.

Ana picked up the knife on the plate. "All right, you're the one who forced me to do this, Xavier. Don't blame me for your death!"
