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

Belinda had sat there in stunned silence for a while. By the tshe 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 beca melody that played in her dreams on countless nights.
From that moment on, Belinda’s world had shifted irrevocably. She had cto 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.
She had reported the thugs to the police, ensuring their actions would not go unpunished. But she hadn't
stopped there. She had stormed into the hof the girl who had orchestrated the attack. Grabbing her by the
collar, she had shoved the girl halfway out of the window.
The girl's terrified screams and pleas for mercy had filled the room, and she had sworn never to cross her again.

The very next day, Belinda had begun taking boxing lessons. At first, people still tried to test her limits. But this
wasn’t the sBelinda anymore. She fought back, making sure every action carried a consequence. If
someone dared to strike her, she responded with twice the force.
As her skills sharpened, her reputation grew. Eventually, her presence alone becenough to deter anyone
from bothering her. People went out of their way to avoid her wrath.
Her transformation hadn’t ended with self-defense. She poured every ounce of her energy into her studies, her
resolve unshakable. She also committed herself to losing weight, shedding the insecurities that had weighed her
down for years.

She had done all that because the boy who had saved her was so extraordinary. She wanted to close that gap.
She wanted to be someone worthy of standing by his side.
Even though she didn’t know if their paths would ever cross again, she made a silent promise to herself—if fate
ever brought them together, she would no longer be the helpless girl he had once rescued. She wanted to face
him as someone entirely transformed.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Lucas was the one who had changed the course of her life.
The next tshe saw Lucas, she had already returned to the Wright family. Carola had taken her and Kylee to
visit the Clark family.
When her eyes landed on Lucas again, she froze, stunned by his presence. At that moment, she felt an
overwhelming sense of gratitude—grateful for a second chance to see him.
