Owned by the Fighter 49. Love Under Ultimatum
Smack!A hard slap landed on Belle’s cheek, snapping her head to the side. It was completely unexpected—even for Bastian—and Belle took it full force.The sight instantly sent a surge of fury through Bastian. He stepped forward at once, shielding Belle behind his back. His eyes blazed with anger.“Don’t you dare touch her!” Bastian’s voice was low, dangerous.Even Mr. Watson flinched at the terrifying shift in Bastian’s demeanor. It looked as if Bastian was ready to attack anyone who dared hurt Belle. Anthony realized things could spiral out of control if he didn’t intervene immediately. He grabbed Bastian’s arm, urging him to step back. But Bastian stood firm, like a soldier prepared to die where he stood.“How dare you threaten me, Bastian! You’ve got some nerve!” Mr. Watson finally mustered the courage to point accusingly at him. “You’ve been living under my roof! I feed you, I let you sleep in my house! Have you forgotten everything I’ve done for you?”Bastian had never forgotten

“Is it wrong for a younger sister to remind her older brother?” Belle said, not looking at Anthony at all.She took a breath, then continued with difficulty. “Bastian is already like a brother to me. Like you.”“Well, yeah. Honestly, Bastian fits the role of your brother more than me,” Anthony chuckled softly.The car pulled over in front of the house, and both siblings saw Mrs. Watson pacing anxiously on the porch. Belle and Anthony got out immediately and hurried toward their mother.“Belle! Anthony!” Mrs. Watson hugged them one by one. “Oh, this is really terrible.”“Mom, what happened?” Anthony asked, confused.“Your father went to the hospital. You heard that Renee, Mr. Carlyle’s daughter, was admitted, right? I don’t know what Carlyle said on the phone, but it sounded dire,” Mrs. Watson said, clearly frightened.Belle and Anthony exchanged looks. It was strange. Why would Renee’s father suddenly contact their father? There was no connection between them at all.“Then your father
Owned by the Fighter 47. Blood Isn’t Proof of Love
Belle’s feelings were torn apart. On one hand, she was deeply moved by Bastian’s struggle. But on the other hand, her logic kept pressing down on her. Was she really willing to watch Bastian get beaten bloody just to chase happiness with her?It was already clear that Bastian would marry Renee, that he had a future perfectly laid out for him. He would be happier living a more settled life.So what exactly was Bastian fighting for because of Belle?Nothing but suffering on his side; more pain, more wounds. Belle was not worth being fought for with sweat and blood. She didn’t want to hurt Bastian any further.“No,” Belle whispered softly.She pulled away from him quickly, even though it felt unbearably heavy. Belle shook her head weakly, swallowing the bitterness in her throat. What she was about to ask would hurt even more.“Go home, Bastian. Stop fighting. End it here,” Belle said.Bastian froze. He hadn’t expected those words from her. Hadn’t they promised to fight for each other, no
Owned by the Fighter 46. What He Fights For
A message came in on Belle’s phone. She had just been about to go to sleep when she turned the light back on. Belle reached for her phone on the nightstand, unlocked the screen, and saw a message from Eve.“Did you know Bastian is fighting tonight?” Another message followed almost immediately.“He’s lost his mind. Won’t that cause trouble with his girlfriend?”Seeing the word girlfriend made Belle sink again. Whatever was going on between Bastian and Renee was not Belle’s concern, no matter how anxious she felt about him doing something this reckless.“That’s their problem,” Belle replied.“Yeah, you’re right. I don’t even know why I sent such a cringe message. You’ve both moved on with your own lives.”Belle sent back a thumbs-up emoji and placed the phone back on the nightstand. But her thoughts didn’t stop there. Anxiety crept in, making her restless.“Ah, damn it,” Belle muttered.She pushed the blanket aside and hurried to the wardrobe. Belle changed out of her pajamas and start
Owned by the Fighter 45. Debt That Feels Like Prison
Bastian let out a long breath as he stood in front of the grand apartment building. Starting that day, he would be moving into Renee’s apartment and living the normal life Renee and her family wanted for him.The day after tomorrow, Bastian would begin working as a new employee at Renee’s father’s company. He did not even know what position he would hold yet. All he knew was that he would be working, and that fact alone made him feel even more uneasy.It felt as if Bastian had signed a forced agreement. Renee had saved him from the threat of prison, but now it felt no different. He had walked out of one set of iron bars only to step into another kind of confinement.“Bastian?”Renee’s voice snapped him out of his thoughts.“Yeah?” Bastian turned around.“Come on, let’s bring your things inside. I’ll ask the security guards to help with the rest.”“No need. I can handle it myself.”Bastian did not have much to bring anyway. Just one suitcase and three medium-sized boxes. There was no p

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’
