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
CHAPTER 553. FIGHT FOR YOU. Bring Him Down!Cage fights were wild, but nothing was crazier than seeing two fighters go at it outside the cage—especially if one of them was none other than the Dutchman. This guy had a reputation for being ruthless; few left a fight with him still conscious.However, the man standing in front of him didn’t seem the least bit fazed.As the Dutchman got to his feet, Kyle’s hand closed around Adriana’s wrist, pulling her behind him. His peripheral vision caught sight of his father approaching, and he spoke to him without taking his eyes off his opponent.“Get her out of here,” he ordered. “And we’ll settle things later, sweetheart,” he muttered, making it clear that last threat was for her.“Stand back, everyone! Make way for THE KING because tonight, it doesn’t matter if there’s a cage or rules! This night… THE DUTCHMAN ATTACKS WITHOUT WARNING! HE’S DRIVING THE KING INTO THE MESH AND HE’S ABOUT TO SWING—WAIT, WHERE DID THAT ELBOW COME FROM?! THE KING LAN
CHAPTER 554. FIGHT FOR YOU. A Crazy FamilyKyle couldn’t quite explain it: this woman stirred something in him, and it wasn’t the usual attraction one felt for a woman. He’d been with other women before, some clingier than others, but none had ever exasperated him or made him feel this vulnerable in such a short time.He kept his gaze on Adriana’s eyes in the middle of the crowd, thinking how beautiful she was. Her eyes had been soft and gentle the first time he’d seen them, and in less than twenty-four hours, he’d watched them reflect every emotion. But he didn’t approach her after the referee released his hand and the crowd smothered him with congratulations and pats on the back. He was slow to show his emotions, obviously, so Adriana just watched as he slipped away toward the mansion as soon as he broke free of the crowd."And you’re coming with us!" said a mischievous voice beside her, and Adriana turned to see Julie doing a victory dance behind her."Excuse me?" Adriana murmured
CHAPTER 555. FIGHT FOR YOU. The Bright SideAdriana couldn’t even explain exactly how she felt. It was as if she had taken a direct hit to the chest from that professional fighter herself, not the Dutchman. Her eyes filled with tears instantly, and just for a moment, she looked into those piercing blue eyes, watching his pupils widen as he realized what he had just said.The silence was overwhelming, but they only saw her take a step back and look away, nodding."You’re right," she said, blinking quickly to ward off the betraying tears."No, Adriana… wait…" Kyle tried to reach for her hand, but she pulled it away."You’re right. You made yourself very clear. I’m sorry for being so persistent; I already told you it’s not one of my best qualities," she replied, turning to the family. "I think I’d better go. Thank you so much for inviting me, but I don’t want to intrude.""Hey, no, wait! You’re not intruding!" Julie called after her. "This guy’s a certified idiot—don’t listen to him, sta
CHAPTER 556. FIGHT FOR YOU. A Smart WomanAnyone might have said it was just a sports car, but to Kyle, that McLaren felt like an extension of his soul in that moment. As he pressed the accelerator to the floor, his mind was stuck on the stupid comment he’d blurted out in front of everyone.The problem was that he hadn’t been raised to hold back the truth... or to have much tact, he had to admit. His sister was often right when she said he didn’t think much when he was angry; he just blurted out whatever came to mind.His eyes scanned the road intently, but he couldn’t see that car anywhere.“Damn it! She only left a few minutes before me. Just how fast is she driving?!” he growled in frustration and pressed a button on the dashboard to make a call.Caleb didn’t take long to pick up, and a second later Kyle was peppering him with questions.“Did you find her yet? Where is she? Am I far from her?” On the other end, there was an awkward silence followed by a laugh. “Uncle!”“Alright, al
CHAPTER 557. FIGHT FOR YOU. A Desperate ManKyle knew exactly who he was. The guy with the bandage on his forehead, rat-like face, and the password to Adriana's apartment… Kyle was sure of who he was, and he was just as certain that this man didn’t have good intentions.His phone kept dialing Adriana’s number over and over, but she wasn’t answering. His only hope was that she had gotten so drunk the previous night that she hadn’t even woken up yet."Tell me her car’s still in Brissago! For God’s sake, tell me her car’s still in Brissago!" Kyle exclaimed, turning to his uncle, who quickly typed on the tablet to pull up a different screen.The blinking dot made the fighter’s heart pound harder than ever in his life, even more than before a cage fight, because the red dot representing Adriana’s car was moving down the road toward Lucerne."Damn it!" he shouted, trying to call her again, but there was no answer. "Her phone’s dead!"They both watched as the man continued trashing her apart
