Reader and The Beast

You're tired of living in this small town. Life here was just awful, especially the people, but you knew when to shut your mouth. You knew people didn't wanna put up with that. You know that for sure because Belle constantly does what you avoid doing. She was a grown woman like you, so if she didn't like this "provincial life" of hers, why the hell didn't she just go?

This really makes you question who really acts like the older one here, and now that you think about it, you don't think the people very much liked her because she liked to read. Yes, many people in the village weren't the brightest, but there were some women and men you knew who shared the same likes as Belle. You had enough of what the village and Belle put you through. You were packing up to move to a place where there are at least decent people. All of that changes when your father's horse comes home in a panic.

What will Belle do, and what will you do?
Warning: I do not own Beauty and the Beast. But this story, I want to make in my own way and not like Disney. I will take inspiration from live action 2017 version, and 2014 French adaptation of the film to make this into something I and other readers will enjoy.
