His unwanted wife, the world’s coveted genius by Derk Blaylock

Chapter 695:

But then, as if out of a dream, Lucas had appeared. 

At that moment, Lucas’s arrival had felt like salvation to Belinda, who had been drowning in hopelessness. His movements had been precise and efficient. With a few well-placed strikes, he had sent the thugs scattering in fear. Without hesitation, he had shrugged off his jacket and draped it over Belinda’s trembling frame. “Put this on,” he had said, his voice deep and raspy, leaving a lasting imprint on her heart.

Before she could gather herself enough to say something to Lucas, her classmates had arrived in a rush, and Lucas had turned on his heel and left.

Belinda had sat there in stunned silence for a while. By the time she snapped out of her daze and tried to find Lucas to thank him, he had already gone. But his image was etched permanently into her mind. Those three simple words he had said had become a melody that played in her dreams on countless nights.

From that moment on, Belinda’s world had shifted irrevocably. She had come to a stark realization—the more she cowered and allowed others to trample over her, the bolder they would become. If she wanted to survive, she had to fight back—harder, fiercer, and with no hesitation.
