♠️CHAPTER 23♠️

☄️FELIX'S P.O.V☄️

Belle dragged me into the bushes. I was confused with what just happened. It was too fast. 

IN THE BUSHES

"Who was that?" I asked her as I peeked a bit out of the bushes. Belle sighed.

"That was my dad."

"Then the old witch?" I replied, Belle tittered. "My grandma." she answered. I crossed my arms, "I'm not getting what's happening. Explain." Belle put her hands into the pockets of her grey trainers.

"Did I tell you that Chrys and Christine is my half-siblings? They were from my step-mother, Carol. My mother, Bettrisha was the first wife of my father yet Carol was treated like the first one. Over 4 years in that house, I was always wanted to get to know my siblings.My grandparents force me and my mother to leave the house and went to my mother's parents."

I nodded as Belle finishes her story. Her head bowed down as she mumbles "Thinking about it, I do miss dad and Beau never met him in her life." 

I realized that she didn't care about her hair that almost got into her mouth due to the strong wind that morning.

I pulled her hair away from her face into the back of her shoulder then I took her away back from the bushes, replying "Let's go then. I know you're a brave girl. Maybe we can convince wick- I mean your grandma." Belle smiled as she nodded.

We went back to a bench where Belle's dad and grandma were sitting at.

BELLE'S P.O.V

As we approach them, suddenly, Nancy stood up and ran towards me with her walking stick. 

"You little bitch! You knew we were in Chicago so, you wanted to take your revenge, right?!"

I didn't hesitate to preventing Nancy from hitting me with cane or a stick. When I was just 3, Nancy once hit me with a thick cane just because I sat beside with Christine while watching cartoons and wanting to watch Harry Potter movies.

As I waited for the hit to strike, I didn't feel anything at all. In fact, it felt like my grandmother didn't hit me at all. I opened my eyes to see Felix holding the stick with his bare right hand. My eyes were suddenly feeling watery, my tears dropped from my eyes to my chin. I took the stick from his hand. I can tell from the look on his face, it hurts a lot.

"A-are you o-okay" I stuttered as put my hands on both of his shoulder. He wiped the tears from my cheeks and smiled at me "I'm fine. I've been whipped a lots of time from my grandfather." 

"Mom! Stop doing that! She's your grandchild also!"

My father helped Nancy out. After that, he went towards me and bow to me and Felix "I'm sorry to both of you...especially you, Young Master."

"Young master?" I glared at him.

"Hehe, I'm about to inherit my dad's company anytime soon." He scratch the back of his head as he chuckles. "Belle, can we talk on the phone?" 

"Sure dad you can text me anytime." I said as i smiled.

After that, we went back to the others.
