All Chapters of Owned By the Man She Fears: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Inside a private room overlooking the arena, a young man stood silently behind a wall of glass.Below him, the stadium was already packed. Wealthy patrons filled the seats, their voices blending into a restless roar as they waited for the match to begin.This was not a basketball arena.Nor was it meant for professional boxing.This place existed for something far darker.An illegal underground ring where fights did not end with knockouts or referee counts. Victory came only when one fighter could no longer stand or breathe.Most of the audience consisted of powerful figures, businessmen, gang leaders, mafia representatives, and members of underground syndicates. Money flowed as freely as blood in this place.The young man watched calmly from the safety of the lounge, a glass of wine resting loosely in his hand as guests continued to arrive below.Then his gaze stopped.A young woman entered the arena alongside a middle-aged man and another younger escort. Fear was unmistakable on her

“Get up.”The young man’s voice was firm as he ordered her again.But the girl did not move.Irritation flickered across his face at her stubbornness. Without another word, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her up. His strength left her no choice but to stand.“Stop defying me, Ren,” he said coldly, pulling her closer. “You don’t have a choice. I already own you. I can do whatever I want with you.”Once she was steady on her feet, he drew her against him.“Looks like ten years of leniency wasn’t enough to tame you,” he continued, his tone low and dangerous. “You’re leaving me no choice. I suppose I’ll have to use force.”His fingers traced slowly along her soft arm.A chill ran through her body instantly. Goosebumps rose along her skin, fear creeping up the back of her neck.“I planned to wait until after the marriage,” he murmured, leaning closer. “But I guess----”SMACK.The sharp sound of a slap echoed throughout the arena.Every subordinate froze.Their eyes widened in disbelief at

“Mom---” Seren called softly.The woman heard her and froze mid-step.It was as if she had been struck by lightning the moment she saw Seren. A gentle smile bloomed on Seren’s lips as her eyes took in her mother’s face. Though she looked thinner now, deep wrinkles marking the years that had passed, Seren could still see the beauty she remembered in the face she had longed for all this time.When the guests noticed Lena had stopped moving, their attention shifted toward Seren. Her older brother and father also paused, their eyes landing on her… and on the bags she carried. Shock was evident on their faces.It wasn’t surprising. Anyone would be startled if a stranger suddenly appeared outside their home.“Well now,” one of the men beside her brother said, chuckling. “That’s quite a guest you have, Lena, Lucas. She looks like she came from a wealthy family.”Don’t they recognize me? Seren wondered. Then again, she had been only ten years old when she left this place. Seven years had pass

“Is it true? The fiancée of the new Head of De Luna is already studying here? And what’s more exciting, she’s in our department.”The words drifted across the cafeteria just as Seren stepped inside.She froze. She had heard it many times before from Rafael’s father himself. That he wanted her to marry Rafael. From the very first day she was brought into the De Luna estate.But it had never been discussed formally. Never confirmed.And yet, hearing it now, from strangers, it suddenly felt real.“I heard that too,” another girl chimed in. “But no one knows who she is. Her identity is completely hidden. No one even knows where she came from.”“Some say she might be from one of their business partners,” a third added. “But one thing’s clear, the young master of De Luna is no longer available. Just when I started fantasizing about him,” she sighed dramatica

“It’s a surprise to see you here. Do you need a new suit?” the woman asked Rafael, her eyes scanning him from head to toe. “I know exactly what you need.”She reached out, touching his arm.“It’s not for me,” Rafael said casually, brushing her hand off, then turning to glance at the girl standing behind him.Seren caught the subtle raise of the woman’s eyebrows the moment she saw her.“She is----?” the woman asked, curiosity flickering across her face. “You can’t be telling me she’s your sister, you’re an only child. If she were a cousin, maybe… but she doesn’t look like it.”Seren’s lips parted slightly.What’s wrong with my appearance? She thought, irritation flaring. She looked at Rafael, but his face gave nothing away, which only made her more frustrated.“Can you find something that will fit her?
