(derailed fairy tale)

On the outskirts of a French town, there was an old house surrounded by a high wall with a wrought-iron gate. Locals avoided it because they believed in legends about a monster that lived within its walls. It was said that this beastly brute had kidnapped young girls, and no one ever heard their screams.

But Belle was not the type to listen to legends. She lived her own life. Her father introduced her to an incredibly handsome guy, and after a while, he proposed marriage. Belle couldn’t get over her happiness. A handsome, gentle, caring man — what more could you need for happiness?

After the wedding, Belle began to notice strange changes in his behavior. At first, it was just little things: sudden mood swings, unusual behavior that didn’t match his previous stories. But gradually, these little things grew into something more. Every day, Belle became more and more suspicious that her husband was not who he said he was. She started to see his true face and felt afraid.

A month after the wedding, the man began to prepare for a long journey. He left his wife at the farm with only one order:

“Do not open the little closet under any circumstances.”

“Okay, I promise,” Belle agreed.

A young girl went to the library to read a book before going to bed. But suddenly she saw a strange book with precious stones. Belle opened the book and realized that it was the secret diary of a real monster, describing his crimes. The beauty grasped that her ‘honeybear’ was a horrible hulk who killed all his wives. Belle rapidly rushed to the closet.

Her heart was beating inside her, and adrenaline was pulsing through her blood. Belle nervously turned the keys in her hands, trying to open the lock on the closet.

“How far are you going?” her lover’s voice came out.

At the same moment, Belle threw the keys and the diary in the other direction, and the man ran after them. The beauty blitzed away as fast as she could. Once she was in the yard, she whizzed to woodland. She didn’t know where she was going, but the main thing was to get away from him.

“We will meet again, my gorgeous girlie…”
