Chapter 19: Chapter 18- Rage

Once, Bellarine had to attend a meeting in the Capital for which she had to stay there for a week. At that time, Richard was only seven years old, that's why she took him with her.

Naturally, she always took care of him and had him in the range of her perception all the time—except for the time when she had to attend the meeting. That's why she hired a full-time maid to take care of her baby.

One of those days, when Bellarine returned to her room Richie rushed towards her with tears in his eyes and a glaring red mark of a hand on his cheek.

He cried in her arms for a long time without a word, and seeing him in tears broke her down as well. She kept him holding until he didn't fall asleep in her embrace.

That day, Bellarine realized that for her child she could never hesitate to hurt anyone. The person who dared slap her son was begging her to kill him and spare him from the burden of his life.
