Belle felt like the air in her room was suffocating her. She stared at her phone screen, still without replying. Instead, Anthony’s expression replayed in her mind—hurt and disappointed. Then it shifted to her father’s anger and the shadow of Renee’s threat.

Belle took a long breath. The walls of her house suddenly felt like a prison.

Her fingers moved quickly across the screen as she replied to Bastian. “Yes, Renee came here.”

  • Owned by the Fighter   74. She’s Watching You

    Anthony’s reply came almost instantly.“Stay there. I’m coming to get you.”Belle waited inside the library anxiously. She tried to act normal, even though her heart was pounding. Every now and then, she peeked out the window, staring at that familiar SUV.But the driver—or the man from yesterday—was nowhere to be seen. Maybe he was watching from inside the car, waiting to make a move if Belle stepped out of the library. Belle was still a newbie in boxing; she was far too scared to fight him.While waiting for Anthony, Belle looked outside again. Across the street, next to the car, stood a man wearing a denim jacket and a baseball cap. His build was different from that of the man he had seen yesterday.This one was slimmer, and he had stepped out of the car while smoking. But his position allowed him to see anyone entering or leaving the library.Belle felt like she was choking; this was no longer just complicated relationship drama, but planned intimidation.Renee wasn’t attacking di

  • Owned by the Fighter   73. Nowhere Feels Safe

    Belle turned to look around the parking lot. There were plenty of students walking back and forth, but her eyes locked onto a dark gray SUV with heavily tinted windows, parked in the far corner facing her car. The engine was running, but there was no sign that the car was about to leave.Belle quickly got into her car, locked the doors, and started the engine. “It’s nothing, it’s nothing,” she muttered to herself.She drove out of the campus area, merging into fairly heavy traffic since it was already rush hour. After ten minutes of driving, she glanced at the rearview mirror. The dark gray SUV was behind her, separated by only one white sedan.Belle’s heart began to beat faster. She tried to think rationally. This was a main road; it was normal for cars to be heading in the same direction.To test her suspicion, Belle turned on her signal and made a sharp right turn, entering a quiet residential area that wasn’t her usual route home. She looked at the rearview mirror again.The gray

    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 was almost soundless against Belle’s ear, his eyes delivering an absolute command. Belle nodded, holding her breath. She moved quickly, slowly turning the metal knob and slipping outside.Just as Belle moved, Bastian pressed a quick kiss to her lips, then the door closed. Belle immediately slipped out to the side. She could hear Renee’s voice from inside the studio, louder now.“Hello? Earth to Bastian? Did you lose your voice or something? You can’t even answer me?”Renee sounded extremely annoyed.“What are you doing here? Are you hiding something from me?”Belle peeked through a small crack in the window. She saw Bastian standing casually, grabbing his black T-shirt from the chair.“Looking

    “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 Bastian ever wanted to see hurt were Belle and Anthony. But because of Renee’s jealousy, Anthony was slowly being destroyed.Bastian was ready to be Anthony’s shield, even if it meant sacrificing himself.And if Renee ever dared to touch Belle…“Say no, Belle,” Bastian said. “Turn down Renee’s request.”Belle shook her head. “How could I possibly do that?”Tears began to slide down her cheeks. A dark thought crept into Belle’s mind. She didn’t know if she could stand beside Renee as her bridesmaid, while the groom was the man Belle loved.If Belle refused, people would start asking questions. Renee’s suspicion would only sharpen… and eventually she’d find out the truth, branding Belle as the homew

The walls of her house suddenly felt like a prison.Her fingers moved quickly across the screen as she replied to Bastian. “Yes, Renee came here.”“Can we meet tonight? Not at Anthony’s place. Somewhere, a friend of mine knows.”Not long after, Bastian sent his current location. Belle sat there for a moment, confused about how she could possibly leave the house. Mr. Watson would definitely be watching her more closely after everything that happened.Without thinking any further, Belle finally replied. “Okay. Ten.”After that, Belle deleted Bastian’s messages since she had already memorized the location he sent. She dropped onto her bed, her mind in complete chaos. Her emotions were swirling—confusion, sad

    “What kind of question is that?” Mr. Watson roared, his face flushed bright red. “Because of your thug behavior, the harbor project is on the verge of falling apart! Mr. Carlyle is about to pull their investment because your name is being dragged through the mud in this town!”Anthony’s eyes went wide. “What?”“Useless son!” Mr. Watson spat.“Wait, Dad! I have nothing to do with your business! I already moved out of this house!”Anthony shot back just as loudly, his hands clenched into fists. Meanwhile, Belle stood frozen not far from the two men she loved most. She had no idea what to do. Even their mother, who came hurrying out of the kitchen, fell silent the moment she arrived.“But you still carry the Watson name, you idiot!” Mr. Watson pointed a finger right at his eldest son’s face. “All this time I let you play around pretending to be some street punk because I thought you’d come to your senses eventually.”“Street punk? I have a business! Are you joking?”Mrs. Watson stepped f

    “Pottery?” Eve burst out laughing, even though Belle was crying inside the car. Belle couldn’t help but smile, too. “My brother and his friends… they went to college for art majors,” Belle sniffled. “That’s why Anthony owns a tattoo shop. And, well, I don’t know if Bastian ever kept up with his a
