BEAUTY AND BEAST

HE'S NOT A BEAST

Beauty was in a daze she was feeling anxious but she didn't know why. She only found out when Michael walked out of the room. She immediately called the guy who was sitting by the table over.

"Hello."Beauty said and the guy turned to look at her.

"Can I help you?" The guy asked.

"Yes, Yes of course you can." Beauty said.

"How?" The guy asked.

Can you please help understand why The Beast said the things he said earlier?" Beauty asked.

The guy who seemed willing to answer her questions some time ago suddenly frowned in annoyance causing Beauty to get confused.

'Did I say something wrong?'Beauty wondered.

"My brother's name is not The Beast, Okay? He is not a beast all the people who named him The Beast don't know him. My brother is not a beast." The guy said a bit angrily.

"Sorry." Beauty said.

It's nothing." The guy answered.

"So what is your name and his name?" Beauty asked.

"I'm Mark and he is Micheal." The guy said.

"So can you tell me what he was talking about when he said leaving my to be raised by wolves and you said that he's not talking to your mother?" Beauty asked going all out at once. She was really curious to find out more about him.

"When Michael was just five years old, he negotiated with my mother's family so that they let her have the properties that belonged to her. The family saw the potential in him and requested my mom to hand him over since she was no more in the family but she refused and insisted on keeping him. They later poisoned him to become weak, when our mother realised this, she abandoned the both of us and left with her properties. She left me at a very tender age so as to use as an excuse that Michael had become a monster and killed me. We woke up one day when we realized that everyone was gone. Days later our sister returned. We were happy and thought she was coming to stay with us. But she only told us that they were coming to kill us so we must follow her and when we did, she left us in the forest. A family of wolves took care of us because at that time, I was barely a year old and Michael was only five years old." Mark said.

"What? So you were raised by wolves? Then if he's not as people say he is then what of the people he was sad to have killed?" Beauty asked excitedly, she really wanted to know more. Maybe for the first time in her whole life, she wasn't going to tarnish someone's reputation, instead she was actually going to clear his name.

"When people offend and insult him or me, he sends them to a place very far away from their family, or if their families reject and bullies them, he brings them here to work and actually earn more than they could ever earn." Mark said.

Actually, the detective is one of our distant cousins and he promised to protect us when he met us or maybe we found him three years ago." Mark added in a whisper.

Beauty finally realized why he was so angry , he had every right to be angry everyone would be if their misunderstood for so many years. If he finally let's her go and allows her to talk about him, the first thing she would do was to clear his name and she would start working towards that goal beginning from today.
