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
CHAPTER 551. FIGHT FOR YOU. "Anything Goes"Pale, furious pink, killer red, tightly controlled hysteria, and a guaranteed headache. Kyle could read all that in the gaze of the woman before him, and still, deep down, he was smiling."Do you want to put it on me, or should I put it on myself?" he asked with a flirtatious smile, only for her to respond with another one."If I put it on you, doll, you'd end up with a very different kind of prosthetic, so don’t push your luck," Adriana replied. "Make sure you win, because two embarrassments in one night would be too much."Kyle flinched in surprise when she slapped his backside, turning with a theatrical flair that sent half her hair whipping across his face."Your trainer?" the commentator asked as Kyle was getting dressed, and a shout came from outside the cage."In your dreams!"Kyle made a threatening gesture at his uncle Caleb, especially when he saw Adriana pass by him and bump his fist, but before she could head up to her box, a sma
CHAPTER 552. FIGHT FOR YOU. How Angry Do You Want Him, and at Whom?*Anything goes?*Adriana didn’t really know what that meant, so Aaron Orlenko gestured for her to follow him back to the cage.“These fights don’t follow the normal rules of sports events. Weight, preparation, even the type of fighting style doesn’t matter. You could be a circus clown—as long as you know how to knock the other guy out, you can participate,” he explained.“I get it… if you’re afraid of the fight, don’t step into the ring… or the cage, in this case,” she muttered thoughtfully.“That’s right. But here, ‘anything goes’ means the cage is a little more extreme. It has to be when you’re talking about a guy with a muscle mass over 220 pounds, like the Dutchman…”“That’s useless!” Adriana grumbled. “It’s just size, not skill. It’s like saying a concrete wall is a better fighter than you are just because it’ll smash your head if you run into it headfirst.”“I know, but the fact that the guy’s built like a concr
