CHAPTER 541. THE LAST CHRISTMAS BABY**EIGHT YEARS LATER.**The table was filled with food, but to be honest, it was hard to focus on dinner with all the kids playing and running around. The Keller siblings had gathered once again in Lucerne to celebrate Christmas with their parents. The house was decorated with twinkling lights, and a pleasant aroma of spices and pine filled the air. It was a special moment for the family, and although they saw each other often, each of the siblings eagerly anticipated the reunion during the holiday season.“We’ve really grown in number, haven’t we?” exclaimed Loan.“Remember when there were just seven of us?” Luana asked nostalgically, recalling her little kids.“And now we’re more than twenty-seven!” laughed Nikola. Time had put him back in his wheelchair, but he was happier than ever surrounded by so many grandchildren.“We’re glad to have made you happy, Dad,” said Noémi, hugging her father.“Hey, hey! I was the first one to make him happy!” Zack

CHAPTER 542. FIGHT FOR YOU. PREFACE**SYNOPSIS** For Adriana Keller, the world was her personal challenge; there was nothing she feared, and nothing she wasn’t willing to fight for, including the presidency of her father’s company. She’s ready for innovation and chaos, and fate is prepared to present her with her biggest challenge yet: Kyle Orlenko, “The King” Orlenko, the undisputed ruler of the underground fight cages. Impressed by his skills, Adriana makes it her personal mission to recruit him for a legitimate sports representation. But no one warned her that the King is, without a doubt, a tough nut to crack. Ghosts from the past. Secrets. Lies. Revenge. Intrigues that could either bind them together or tear them apart forever, unless they’re willing to fight beyond the cages… to fight for each other.**PREFACE**The music was so loud Adriana felt it thundering in her ears. She hated places like this, but it seemed that after a year of dating, her boyfriend was suddenly more

CHAPTER 543. FIGHT FOR YOU. An Angry ManKyle only felt a slight bump, but he knew it was minor only for him, so his hands instinctively reached out to steady the girl. He swore he’d felt her catch her breath, not even realizing how close they were. But, although he expected the irritated reaction typical of women who frequented places like this, the girl in front of him merely gave him a silent nod of thanks, which made him momentarily lost in her dark, deep eyes. A throat clearing beside him jolted him back to reality, and he quickly let go, hurrying after the girl who had brought him here. “You’re mad. You never think clearly when you’re mad,” grumbled Julie, pushing Kyle into one of the nearby booths. “Yeah, I am mad! And it sure doesn’t help to be dragged to a place like this!” he retorted. “This place is full of people waaay out of your league, trust me, and I don’t like you surrounding yourself with this kind of crowd!” Kyle looked around, crossing his arms as his little

CHAPTER 544. FIGHT FOR YOU. A Pair of StrangersHalf of it was nerves, and the other half anticipation, but honestly, there was also a bit of shock and disbelief. Because while it was all happening — the shouting and the blows — Adriana's mind could only focus on one thing: how could the man with the blue eyes hold her up against the wall with one arm while smashing Oscar's head against it with the other, as if neither of them weighed anything?The only thing that broke Kyle's concentration — but didn’t move him — was seeing that guy’s friend approach, ready to attack him. Then, there was just the dull sound of a chair, a body falling face-first, and a man’s cry of pain.Over Kyle's shoulder, Adriana glimpsed a young girl, almost like a child, pressing a pointed heel into the back of her boyfriend’s friend."Move, and I swear you’ll never walk again," Julie hissed. "Taking down sleazy lowlifes like you is my passion."And then it happened. Just like that. No one in that room could mov

CHAPTER 545. FIGHT FOR YOU. A Woman Ready to Unleash ChaosWas she furious? Extremely!But maybe anger wasn’t the right feeling at that moment. Those blue eyes had only looked at her for a second before he turned and walked away, and Adriana leaned over Oscar, grabbing him by the lapels of his bloody suit and slapping him to wake him up.“Get near my company again, and I’ll charge you with conspiracy to murder and anything else I can think of. Do you hear me, you miserable [expletive]? Stay away from my family and me — that’s the only friendly warning you’ll get!”She dropped him as if he were trash, or something filthy, and ran down the stairs, scanning the crowd, but all she saw were the tails of two identical McLarens leaving the parking lot. Something told her they could only belong to those two siblings.She took a deep breath, letting the night air fill her lungs, and had the good sense not to go home to her apartment that night. She sent a security alert for the company to lock

CHAPTER 546. FIGHT FOR YOU. CHAPTER 4. A Complete MadnessOne of the things Adriana loved most about Keller Enterprises was that she could walk through those hallways without being treated with excessive courtesy or deference just for being one of the owners. She felt like just another employee, one of the Vice Presidents, who was now walking into the office of the other Vice President, planting a kiss on his cheek because she loved him as much as any of her brothers."Ugh! How’s my beautiful girl today?" Mauro grinned, giving her a hug, and she raised her fists in a victory pose."Awesome! Single and ready to find another man.""Wow, that was fast!" Mauro joked. "But I’m glad. Want me to introduce you to one of my friends?""No, thanks. This man I’m looking for is special; he’s my strategy to fight for the presidency!" Adriana said, pounding her fist on the desk."Really? You already have an idea?" Mauro perked up. Since they were kids, they'd competed in everything, always in a way

CHAPTER 547. FIGHT FOR YOU. An Underground CageAdriana had attended countless sports events since she was a kid, including major UFC fights and boxing megashows in Europe, but she’d never seen anything as wildly charged as an underground cage fight.The man guiding her asked if she wanted to bet, and, clearly no fool, she opened her purse to show she was carrying plenty of cash."I’d like to see the first fights. How many are there tonight?" she asked as he raised his hand to order her a good drink."Fifteen, Miss...""Keller.""A pleasure to have you, Miss Keller. We’ll have fifteen fights tonight—eight in the preliminaries, four in the survivor rounds, two in sudden death, and then the final," he explained. Unfortunately, she didn’t understand any of those terms but nodded as if she did. "Many wait until the survivor rounds to bet, but if you want to make good money, you should start early."Adriana smiled, receiving her drink, and shook her head. "Money isn’t what I’m after tonigh

CHAPTER 548. FIGHT FOR YOU. An Unexpected ProposalThey weren’t butterflies; they were eagles tearing them apart—that’s what Adriana felt in her stomach. She got up from her chair and walked over to the event organizer she’d spoken to before, as they had about an hour before the rest of the fights would resume.“Where can I find Kyle Orlenko?” she asked with a smile, and before he could refuse, she slipped a few bills into his jacket pocket that were hard to say no to.“In the big house,” the organizer said, pointing to the large property where the event was being held. “Second floor, last room to the right of the staircase.”Adriana took a deep breath and headed toward the massive mansion, and no one dared to stop her or even ask who she was. Compared to the chaos outside, the inside was warm and quiet, so she just knocked a couple of times before hearing that voice telling her to come in.Kyle was by the window, removing the bloodied wraps from his hands, but just a glimpse out of t

CHAPTER 549. FIGHT FOR YOU. A Different Kind of CrazyKyle already knew exactly what to expect: the same reaction he got every time he rolled up his pant legs and revealed to someone that those were extremely realistic prosthetics, but they weren’t his real legs. He’d lost those in an accident as a child.People usually looked at him with pity, like he was still the poor, legless orphan instead of the fighter trained from a young age by one of the best in the world. He expected sadness, sympathy, pity… but when Adriana saw those prosthetics, the only thing in her eyes was sheer, uncontrollable curiosity.“No way!” she muttered, kneeling down without a care for her expensive dress, brushing her fingertips over the metal.“I can’t be one of your athletes because… well, I assume this isn’t what you came looking for,” he stated, but her hands just kept moving upward, tracing the robotic knee joint as well.“Holy crap, you’re like Robocop!” Adriana exclaimed, and Kyle’s laughter echoed in

CHAPTER 550. FIGHT FOR YOU. A Man with No Shame"ADRIAAAAAAAAANAAAAAAAAAAAA!"That shout echoed through the house just as Adriana was taking off one of her heels, wielding it threateningly in front of Kyle's door. A serious-looking older man raised his hands in an instant gesture of surrender."Let me guess," Adriana smirked. "Uncle Caleb, the one who brings him hookers between fights?"Caleb Orlenko's eyes widened, and he made a mock-pouting face of a clueless man."And that's a problem because...?""Because I’m his girlfriend, and you’ve managed to tick me off just a little tonight! So, I suggest you get back to the cage, because not even God can save him tonight!" she warned. After a moment of surprise, Caleb just grinned with satisfaction.He glanced at the clothes Adriana was holding in her arms, barely containing his laughter as he turned to leave."Well, it’s been a while since we’ve had a memorable family story, and I have a feeling this one’s going down in the books... And th
