Losing the School Belle's Favor Chapter 10
Vivian looked at me and said, "Mike, for the sake of what we used to have, please help me."Leon is abusive. My arms and thighs are covered in cuts and bruises. I don't want to be with him anymore. Please, save me!"Leon clamped a hand over her mouth and dragged her away, two long wet streaks trailing across the ground behind her.I watched it all happen with cold indifference and let him take her away.…Not long after, I finished wrapping everything up and arrived abroad.The moment I saw Judy Vandell, I recognized her as my mother.Years of illness had clearly taken their toll on her; there was a shadow behind her eyes that never quite lifted. But even so, it was easy to see she was a kind, loving mother at heart.The instant she saw me, Judy pressed a hand to her mouth, tears spilling over, and pulled me into her arms the very next second.For the first time in all these years, I finally felt it: a mother's love was real.Even with an ocean between us, she'd never once st

"Of course."After a moment, Kitty added, "Actually, when I first came looking for you, it wasn't only because I was worried about your mom."There was another reason too. We've had a match arranged between our families since we were kids."But back then, I didn't want to marry someone I didn't even know, so I figured I'd find you myself first and pay you off to make the whole thing go away."I never expected things would spiral out of my control, feelings included."That was another blunt confession from Kitty, and it caught me completely off guard.She shrugged and dropped her gaze, looking a little down.Without thinking, I said, "You don't have to feel bad about it. I'll marry you."The second the words left my mouth, she lit right back up, her eyes going wide as she looked at me seriously."Really?""Of course. A promise is a promise," I told her. "Kitty, thank you for coming into my life. I like you too."…I'd known for a while that everything Vivian had been doing w

Every time Kitty and I went anywhere together, Vivian would appear out of nowhere and invent one excuse after another to talk to me.That wasn't all. Every morning when I got to the classroom, someone had already filled the cup on my desk with water. On cleaning duty days, Vivian volunteered to move my desk for me. Even at lunch, she'd show up with food made by the Saunders family's staff and insist on treating me.During gym class, when the sun beat down hard on the field, she pulled out sunscreen to put on me and held an umbrella over my head the whole time.The moment I so much as frowned, she'd immediately fall silent, not saying another word, as if terrified I might come to hate her.Within a single day, the news that the school belle had turned into my personal lapdog had spread across the entire campus.A few people didn't believe it, until that afternoon, when I went to the broadcast room to do the announcements and Vivian burst straight in.She didn't notice the microp

Leon's whole body went rigid.Walter shoved him back into the crowd and barked an order for everyone to seize me and Kitty.That was when a deafening roar tore through the sky.Everyone looked up to find dozens of helicopters circling overhead. Half of them bore the Mercer family's emblem. The other half carried the crest of the Vandells, the wealthiest family in the capital.One of Kitty's bodyguards bowed respectfully. "Miss, Mrs. Mercer and Ms. Vandell are both worried for your safety. They've sent the world's finest bodyguards to protect you both."They ask that you bring Ms. Vandell's son, Mike, home as soon as possible."For a moment, everyone went dead silent.Walter muttered under his breath, "That's not possible. That can't be possible..."Leon's jaw dropped. "The Mercers' eldest daughter? Kitty Mercer? She's actually with a piece of trash like him?"I frowned. "Hit him."The Vandell bodyguards, fresh off the helicopters, closed the distance in a few strides, hauled

That photograph of young me was the only keepsake my mother had left. At first, Kitty's interest in tracking me down after she came back to the country had been nothing more than sympathy. Not knowing quite how else to help, she'd simply reached out through anonymous emails."But by now, my attention toward you doesn't feel like it's just about helping your mom anymore."Kitty, who'd grown up abroad, said it plainly. "Somewhere along the way, I fell for you, Mike. Your kindness, your resilience, that's what got to me. Will you be my boyfriend?"It was the first time anyone had ever confessed to me like that. Even Vivian, back when things were good between us, had only ever treated my presence as something owed to her. She'd never once said it outright.I'd frozen up at the time. Seeing that, Kitty had simply reassured me gently. "You don't have to decide right away. I know it'll take you time to move past everything."Pulled out of the memory, I looked at Vivian, who now stood

After a burst of screaming, silence fell over the room.On the floor, all that remained was Leon, bleeding and battered, blood pooling around him.A few steps away, Vivian stood frozen, a hand over her mouth, watching everything unfold."Mike, you've lost your mind! Don't forget, in Cantor City, there's no one who can protect you except me."I narrowed my eyes, utterly unafraid. "Is that so? Then I guess we'll see."For a moment, she seemed to see the boy I used to be as a kid, the one who'd never known fear even when he had nothing to back him up, long before she'd ever come along to save him."You lunatic! Hold him down. I'm going to teach him a lesson about pushing his luck!"There was nothing left in Vivian's eyes but fury and defiance.I'd never once imagined she could turn on me like this. And now here she was, hurting me for someone else's sake.Vivian never got her own hands dirty. She always had people to handle things for her. But today, for the first time, she raise
