Chapter 8

And after seeing Belle who immediately looked at her in surprise, Anna let out a long breath. She looks so relieved because nothing bad happened to her daughter.

'What's wrong, Mom? Why are you so panicked? I'm just playing,' Belle said with a confused face to Anna.

'No, nothing, my dear. I'm just a little afraid that something bad might happen to you.'

'Should I whack the rats with the hammer more slowly, Mom?' Belle asked, exemplifying how slowly she hit on her spanking toy.

'No-no, you can play as you like. I was just thinking about something.'

'I can play with my other toys, if you are bothered by the sound of my hammer hitting, Mom.'

Anna felt bad because of all her crazy thoughts. She even overreacted to her daughter, who was just playing with her toys.

'You may play with any of your toys, my dear.'

Belle just stared with as if a question mark on her face. She was quite realize of her mother's slightly different act today. even from the moment she woke up from her sleep.

'Don't look at me in that way, Belle. O-okay, sorry, I was just a little surprised. There was so much on my mind that I was shocked just by the sound of your toy.'

'What was it about, Mom? Did something happen to you?'

Anna didn't answer. There was no way for Anna to explain to her daughter, who was only 4 years old about her crazy dream, which was actually making love with that crazy mafia and she really enjoyed it last night in that dream. Don't forget about Belle who disappeared, who knows where Leon took her. It really wasn't possible for Anna to say what she was worried about.

Then, Anna just smiled to hide her worries. But Belle is quite aware, that Anna is secretly haunted by feelings of fear and uneasiness. Even though she was now more relieved and didn't think so much about the fear of her crazy dreams, but... Anna already felt that there would be big problems for herself because of Leon's presence. Since the night Leon visited her and how he interacted with Belle. Then, the burden of her uncle's debt suddenly becomes an unexpected problem that Anna has to bear.

Anna was afraid that Leon would really have bad intentions for her daughter. Until even just the sound of the toy hammer hitting before. Anna thought that it was the voice of an evil man who secretly wanted to hurt Belle. Anna really felt like she was going crazy because of all of that.

'Mom...'

'Yeah, my dear.'

Belle just suddenly hugged Anna. Even though Belle doesn't really know the exact problem in Anna's head, she knows for sure that her mother is in a difficult situation. Belle couldn't do anything for her mother, so he could only hug Anna.

'Everything will be fine, Mom. I know you are a great person. And I will always be here, be your loyal supporter.'

How could those words come out of the tiny mouth of a 4-year-old child? That's what was in Anna's mind at the moment.

'You are right, my princess. Everything will be fine. There's nothing we need to worry about.'

And suddenly, all of Anna's worries vanished.

'How about we go for a walk, around the city? Do you want to buy something? How about we take a walk near the beach? The view will be really beautiful.'

'That sounds so much fun, Mom!' Belle looked excited. She jumps a little with her little legs. Looks very happy, due to her mother's idea.

Anna thought going for a walk and spending time doing fun things would be much better. Instead of continuing to worry about Leon,.

***

Belle was seen walking with cheerful steps. Holding Anna's hand, Belle enjoyed the view of the hills and her new hometown, which turned out to be beautiful.

'Do you like this place, Belle?'

'Of course I do, Mom. This place is beautiful. And the most important thing is in this place I can meet my prince. So, I will like this place.'

Anna shook her head, her eyes rolling too. She wanted to say that the man she met yesterday was not a prince, but someone who would be able to rob all her mother's money. And don't forget about the possibility that Leon will do something crazy, even crazier than Anna's dream last night.

Anna and Belle spent their afternoon today taking a walk. Both of them seemed to enjoy it.

'Oh, look! That's my prince's castle, Mom!'

Belle's small index finger pointed towards the castle building, which from where the two of them were currently walking, was quite clear what it looked like.

Anna frowned, horrified. She felt horror at the shape of the old building that looked unkempt. It looks very suitable to be occupied by The Beast. Or some kind of evil character, who is very scary.

'You're not afraid, Belle?' Anna asked, surprised to see that her daughter was smiling while continuing to stare at the scary castle.

'It looks scary because the prince is still living with a lack of love and affection, Mom.'

'But... I'm sure after the prince gets a lot of love from me, the castle will look very beautiful.'

Anna was stunned to hear that. Her fingers clutched her temples, which felt a little tight, because of her daughter's fantasies. 'I really wouldn't let my daughter have to be with some creepy weird guy, although he was quite good at licking my pussy in my fucking crazy dream' Anna muttered quietly, in her smile at Anna, in response to her innocent babbling.

'Ah! How stupid I am!' Anna suddenly said, 'Why, mom?'

'I forgot to buy wipes and some cleaning products for our house.'

Anna just remembered some things she forgot to buy. Even though she and Belle had not been out of the supermarket for long. And it seems that now Anna has to go back to the supermarket.

And Belle... she just shook her head with a slightly sullen face, because of what her mother had forgotten.

'Ah, why do you keep acting strange today? You keep making mistakes. And...You're not as old as Grandpa Liam, but why do you have such a hobby of forgetting things, Mom?' Belle grumbled in a very cute way, frustrated because of Anna's unusual behaviour all day.

'I'm so sorry, but unfortunately, I also forgot some of your favourite biscuits, darling. You don't want to have no an evening snack with your warm milk tonight, right?'

Of course, Bella didn't want it. Then, the long breath from her chest that had made it expand before, was blown away.

Because Anna didn't want Belle's little legs, which had been walking for quite a long time today, to get tired, Anna chose to take Belle home first, then return to the supermarket.

Meanwhile...

'Where is that stupid Jack now?' Leon asked in a cold tone.

'He left a while ago. It looks like he went to the supermarket to feed his dog....' an old woman answered the question looking scared.

'Tch, he has money to shop for dog food but not to pay what he owes me, how fucking annoying...'

'Mr. Leon, let's just go and finish off that rotten jerk.' One of Leon's mafia members said so.

'Yeah, just go, what a troublesome rat...'
