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 exposed as a criminal. The case was shut down immediately.

But the trauma inside Belle would linger forever. And now her heart shattered even more after hearing that Bastian was getting married.

“I heard everything, Belle. This is so messed up.” Eve took a deep breath, tears already pooling in the corners of her eyes. “I’m sorry you had to go through all this.”

“I don’t know what to do,” Belle sobbed helplessly.

“It’s okay, Belle. Everything will be alright. What matters is you’re healthy and not

  • Owned by the Fighter   44. The Child He Called a Failure

    A surge of desperate longing washed over Belle and Bastian, making them forget about time entirely. They ignored everything that stood in their way. Their kisses grew wilder, hotter, tangled with hunger and need.Bastian’s hands roamed over Belle’s body, squeezing her in the most sensitive places, pulling soft moans of pleasure from her. But it still wasn’t enough. They both wanted more—until the sound of a door opening downstairs sliced through the moment.Belle and Bastian jolted apart. Bastian rushed to his feet and tugged Belle up onto the bed. Belle’s hands flew to her messy hair, trying to tame it.“Bastian?” Anthony’s voice echoed from below.Then came the sound of footsteps climbing the stairs, growing louder until Belle’s older brother appeared at the doorway. Anthony froze, startled to see Belle there.“What are you doing here?” Anthony asked, not suspicious, but concerned. “You could get into trouble if Dad finds out you came here, Belle.”Belle stared blankly at him. “You’

    Eve shook her head more firmly this time as soon as Belle stepped out of her car.“Don’t tell Anthony anything. You will ruin a decade-long friendship, Belle. Remember that,” Eve warned.Belle nodded. “Okay, I won’t say anything.”“If Bastian isn’t there, you should go home right away. You could get in trouble again if you go against your father.”“I understand, Eve.” Belle nodded again. “Thank you for the ride.”After saying goodbye, Eve drove off from the front of Anthony’s shop. She actually wanted to stay and keep Belle company, but she held herself back. Eve didn’t want Belle to be even more restricted by Mr. Watson.At the very least, Eve wanted the situation to cool down. It was not wise to stir up water that was already muddy.Standing at the side of the road, Belle kept watching Eve’s car as it moved farther and farther away. Once it turned and disappeared from sight, Belle finally stepped into Anthony’s shop. The sign on the window said “Closed,” but the door wasn’t locked.

  • Owned by the Fighter   41. A Visit That Changed Everything

    A long, shaky breath slipped from Renee’s lips as she stood in front of the bars. She looked at Bastian, who was sitting on the cot, lost in thought, not even seeming to notice her presence. Renee bit her bottom lip, then cleared her throat softly.Bastian turned, startled. “Renee?”He quickly stood and walked toward the bars. Strangely, he didn’t reach out to hug Renee or show the slightest spark of longing. Renee immediately felt the distance he was putting between them. Her eyes searched his for even a hint of love, but it wasn’t there.Disappointment and sadness washed over her. “Are you okay?” Renee asked, trying to push aside her own feelings.“At least they didn’t leave me out in the rain.”Renee exhaled. “Please, Bastian. What you’re facing is serious. You could go to prison for years because of what you did.”Bastian didn’t answer right away, but he looked… ready. Ready to face whatever happened. As if he wasn’t afraid of the storm coming at all—not if it was for Belle. The

  • Owned by the Fighter   40. Love in the Holding Cell

    Belle insisted on going with her father to the police station, since Anthony and the others would be released that day. Everyone was being let go except Bastian. The charges had already been forwarded to the prosecutor’s office.Belle’s father refused to help Bastian at all. Even though Belle had explained again and again that Bastian was only trying to protect her, Mr. Watson wouldn’t budge. In his eyes, Bastian’s actions were intolerable—barbaric, wild, completely uncivilized.Once everyone else was released from the holding cell, Belle found a chance to speak to one of the officers while her father was busy lecturing Anthony and the others.“Excuse me, sir,” Belle said politely, giving a slight nod. “May I see Bastian? Just for a moment, please.”Before the officer could reply, Mr. Watson suddenly yanked Belle’s arm hard from behind. His face flushed with restrained fury.“Where do you think you’re going?” he hissed.“I just want to see Bastian, Dad. He’s Anthony’s friend too! I ne

  • Owned by the Fighter   39. Renee’s Desperate Bargain

    “Bastian is being held in jail because of what happened with Felix. It was actually Felix’s fault for hitting Belle. Now I’m here with Bastian, Nick, Kyle, and Pooh—we’re all being detained. But we’ll be released tomorrow, except for Bastian. Felix’s family has already filed charges.”Renee exhaled sharply after reading Anthony’s long message on her phone. Her face went pale, but her jaw tightened. The news about Bastian being detained for defending Belle made her chest feel unbearably tight.“What were you thinking, Bastian? Why? Why would you go this far…” Renee whispered, holding back tears.She replied to Anthony:“None of you could stop him? And how did it even get to the point of violence? God, Anthony. What is wrong with all of you?”Not long after, another message from Anthony came in:“I’ll explain later. I can’t be on my phone long. If you can help Bastian, I’m begging you.”And just like that, Renee found herself dragged into the mess too.She didn’t understand how Bastian
