Seeing Eve run toward her, the emotions overflowing in Belle’s chest finally broke loose. Belle immediately threw her arms around Eve and burst into tears. Eve cried too, gently stroking Belle’s hair with affection.

“Thank God you’re okay,” Eve whispered.

Neither of them paid attention to the confused looks from the students passing by.

No one knew what had happened to Belle. Everything had been tightly covered up by the Felix family. Renee’s family also played a role, so Bastian wouldn’t be e

  • Owned by the Fighter   156. Hope Still Breathes

    Belle walked out of her room and saw Tobias finishing breakfast at the dining table. With heavy steps, she approached him.There was no warmth in Belle's eyes. Small talk was the last thing she wanted, but she needed to speak to Tobias this time."After class, I'm going to visit Nick," Belle said coldly."Do you want me to come with you?""No. I'm going with Eve."Tobias didn't answer right away. He calmly wiped the corner of his mouth with his napkin before setting it on the table. Then he looked directly at Belle."You do realize your situation still isn't completely safe, don't you, Belle?" Tobias said."What do you mean?"Tobias pushed back his chair and stood up. Now he was standing directly in front of Belle, looking composed, confident, and completely in control."If you keep meeting Bastian's friends, you'll only make yourself more suspicious, Belle. You should avoid giving Richard or Renee any opportunity to use something against you. Do you understand?" Tobias explained.Bel

  • Owned by the Fighter   155. The Escape That Never Happened

    The car sped down the highway toward the edge of the city. Throughout the drive, Belle remained silent. Her mind was a complete mess."Where are we going, Eve?" Belle asked."Out of town. To see Bastian.""What did you say?" Belle's eyes widened. "Bastian?""Yeah, Belle."Eve explained that Bastian had contacted her using a disposable phone number. He wanted to meet Belle and hand over the evidence exposing Renee's crimes."No. Turn the car around. We have to go back right now, Eve," Belle said suddenly."What? We're only an hour away from meeting Bastian. He already made sure it's safe, Belle.""I said stop. I don't want to see Bastian!" Belle cried.Eve pulled the car over to the side of the road. She took a deep breath before turning to face her friend. Worry filled her eyes."You don't want to see Bastian? You'd rather stay locked inside Tobias's golden cage?" Eve asked."You don't understand."Belle missed Bastian more than anything. She wanted nothing more than to run into his a

  • Owned by the Fighter   154. The Golden Cage

    Belle stared out the penthouse window, where the skyline of Eastbourne stretched before her. It felt as though she no longer recognized this city. Everything had changed, just like her own fate.She had become a bird trapped inside a gilded cage, no longer the free Sparrow she used to be."Do you like the view?" Tobias asked, already standing behind Belle.She glanced back at him. "Yeah. It's beautiful.""I hope you'll be comfortable staying here for a while. Before we move to the capital," Tobias said, stepping forward to stand beside her. "You'll stay in school, and you'll have the best of everything. I promise.""This is only an agreement, Tobias. I don't need anything else."Tobias frowned. "Belle, why would you say that?""Because what's the point? I don't have anything left to wish for. As long as Bastian gets his freedom, that's enough for me."Belle turned around, intending to walk back to her room. But Tobias immediately caught her by the arm."You're talking like you've alre

  • Owned by the Fighter   153. Nothing Left but Ruins

    In the living room, Mr. Watson sat with a gloomy expression. His eyes were swollen, and defeat was written all over his face. Sitting across from him were Belle and Tobias, side by side."Anthony... he really is beyond saving. How could he destroy this family because of his own selfishness?" Mr. Watson muttered.Belle only tightened her grip on the fabric of her dress."He ruined this family's reputation. He drove Renee out of this house. Anthony dragged us all into this because of his own foolish pride!""I'm sorry for everything that's happened, Mr. Watson," Tobias said."What are you apologizing for? You're the one who tried to save my family's reputation in front of the public.""I'll do everything I can to protect your family, especially Belle. None of you will have to worry about any more legal harassment."Mr. Watson looked at Tobias with weary eyes. He nodded in resignation."I don't even know how to thank you anymore, Tobias." Mr. Watson rubbed his face wearily. "You still ch

    BANG!A wooden crate exploded into splinters, scattering across the concrete floor of the warehouse on the northern coast.Bastian's breathing came in ragged gasps. The fierce light in his eyes had gone hollow after Tobias abruptly ended the phone call."You bastard, Tobias!" Bastian roared.Without a second thought, he swung his fist with all his strength at the wall in front of him.BAM!But Bastian seemed numb to the pain. He lifted his head again, ready to slam his fist into the wall once more, desperate to vent the agony crushing his chest."Bastian, stop!" Kyle shouted in panic, immediately lunging forward and locking both arms around Bastian from behind."Let me go, Kyle!! I have to get back to Eastbourne right now!!" Bastian struggled wildly.He fought so violently that Kyle was dragged across the floor with him. Peter rushed over, throwing himself forward to wrap both arms around Bastian's waist, using every ounce of strength to hold him back."Snap out of it, Bastian! If you

  • Owned by the Fighter   151. A Deal with Tobias

    The door to Mr. Leeds' bookstore closed behind Detective Miller as he walked out wearing a sour, irritated expression.Belle turned around. She didn't want to waste another second. Her eyes settled on Tobias, who stood calmly leaning against the edge of the checkout counter."Belle, we don't have much time," Tobias said, his voice urgent and unusually serious. "That detective will be back with an official detention order as soon as Richard Ward finds out he failed to bring you in today."Belle remained silent."And I've stalled them as long as I can, Belle. You won't be safe here much longer.""I need your help." Belle stepped closer, narrowing the distance between them. She lowered her voice to a whisper. "I have evidence linking Renee and Richard Ward."Tobias's eyes narrowed instantly. For the first time, his composure faltered."Where did you get information that specific, Belle?""That doesn't matter," Belle cut in quickly, refusing to mention Anthony or Bastian. "What matters is

    Bastian acted within seconds. Just before Renee’s shadow was about to cross the black partition, he grabbed Belle’s arm. Quickly, he pushed her—gently but firmly—toward the emergency door behind the refrigerator.“Go out through the back alley. Don’t run until you’re far away.”Bastian’s whisper wa

    “Oh my God…” Bastian exhaled in regret.In those five short minutes, Belle told him everything that had happened without holding anything back. It only made Bastian’s guilt heavier, because he hadn’t known Anthony had been pressured by his father.Out of everyone in his life, the last people Bastia

    The Eastborough pier wasn’t beautiful at night. The lighting was poor, relying only on a dying streetlamp flickering at the entrance. But for Belle, that only made her adrenaline spike.At least it was safe. And it offered one thing no other place did: privacy.Belle walked carefully, pulling her h

He remained standing there, beside the woman holding the chain to his freedom.And his silence hurt more than anything Renee had said.“Come on, Belle,” Anthony’s voice cut throug
