Before A happily ever after

{28} The Letter

It was Friday when Ben suddenly saw a letter at his desk in the morning

He opened the letter revealing a picture of him and Mal together at the cotillion and their was a letter behind it and Ben looked at it... Ben kinda started to tear up and it said

Dear King Benjamin Florian Beast

It's me Mal-eficent Bertha Farae, or Mal... Ben... I hope you have a happy life with Audrey and Alex, and now.. I understand that you don't love me anymore.. But I just want you to know the truth that Alex is not your son.. It's ok to me if you think that I'm only doing this because I want to get back with you... But no... But If you don't want to believe... It's fine... But please don't hurt anyone

The truth is I still love you Ben... And I've always loved you... But the day of our engagement party was full if lies... Audrey planned all those and Ben... I never got the chance to tell you that my surprise to you was big... It's ok for me I you don't welcome us in Aurodon and sometimes you get Mad at your parents because they spend time with Bella and not Alex... If only you knew... Please don't hurt your parents and Don't get mad at Bella please...

Ben... I know you won't care but me and the other VKs are no longer staying here... We're leaving tomorrow.. Thank you for once again letting us Visit

- Mal

Ben felt a bit hurt with the letter and then he saw another picture below the picture of him and Mal.. And it was Mal and Bella when Bella was born and he felt like they're connected

He then wiped his tears and cleared his mind and 4 words got stuck in his mind and those are

" Is Bella my Daughter??? " Ben thought to him self

Then he planned to not tell this to everyone and so he kept it in his drawer and he came out of the room

He went to the park to see Belle and Adam holding Bella and not Alex

So he went to them

" Mom? Dad? " Ben said and Bella looked at him, she can see that the strips in her hair were just like Ben's but she's still afraid of him so she went to the back of her grandparents

Good thing Audrey isn't around so she can't manipulate Ben

" I'm so sorry of what I did to your mom. " Ben said calmly, " But you hurt my Mom.. A-and you got Mad at everyone just because of Princess Audrey. " Bella said lowering her head

" What are you doing her Ben? Aren't you gonna spend time with your family because look! Tomorrow is you wedding day. " Adam said, " Eww. " Belle said and Ben looked at the ground

" Is Mal really leaving tomorrow? " Be  said and Belle and Adam we're shocked

" Come again? " Adam said, " I said, is Mal really leaving tomorrow? " Ben said, Belle sighed and Adam took a deep breath, " Well? " Ben said, " Yes Ben! She is.. And because of you I don't see Bella again. " Belle said, " Why do you even love Bella more than Alex? Alex is your grandson... You treat Bella like your granddaughter, you never did that to Alex. " Ben said, " One day you'll know why Ben! " Adam said and he lifted Bella and they walked away

Then Chad came to Ben

" Ben! " Chad said, " What?! " Ben said, " Do you know the news? " Chad said, " What? " Ben said, " The VKs are leaving tomorrow duh! You better clear your mind before its too late. " Chad said and walked away

Then while walking... Ben bumped into Mal

Mal immediately walked away from him but he catches her

" Wait Mal! " Ben said and pulled Mal, " What do you want? To hurt me? Kill me? Just for Audrey? " Mal said, " No! I just want to ask you something. " Ben said, " What? Attend your wedding? Forget it! By the way.. Congratulations. " Mal said with a fake smile

" No! " Ben said, " Then what?! " Mal said, then Ben finally had the courage to ask Mal

" Is Bella my daughter? OUR daughter? " Ben said, " No Ben! So forget about your question.. Because you are not Isabella's father. " Mal said and Ben frowned a bit... Mal turned away and walked away crying and wiping her tears

She regretted what she said... She was thinking that it was her chance to tell Ben the truth but... Even tho she would do it.. She's going to leave

And speaking of leave... At Sunday... She will send Bella back to Aurodon so she could spend a week with her grandparents.......

And so the next day.......
