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
CHAPTER 558. FIGHT FOR YOU. An Unexpected IntrusionNever in her life had Adriana Keller heard a tone like that, nor had anyone ever dared to treat her with that kind of violence. But really, what else could she expect from a guy who was only with her for her father’s money and had even considered hurting her cousin?“Let go of me, you idiot!” she growled, clutching the hand that was gripping her hair. “Let go of me!”But it seemed Oskar had no such intention. He roughly turned her around and shoved her into the office, where everything was similarly wrecked, with the safe in plain sight.“Open it!” he shouted, teetering on the edge of hysteria.In the last forty-eight hours, he’d gotten his face bashed in, his golden goose had left him, he’d been thrown out of the company with nothing but a meager severance, and HR had kindly suggested he’d better move to another city… actually, another country, if he wanted any chance of finding work again.“Open the damn safe, Adriana!”“And for wh
CHAPTER 559. FIGHT FOR YOU. Who Is He and What Does He Want?Aside from a cut on her lip and a small wound on her forehead, Adriana didn’t seem to have any other injuries, but even that was enough to make the blood boil in the two men watching her.“I’m fine, Dad, just… I don’t want this to turn into a scandal. I don’t want this to affect the family…” she murmured, trying to steady herself as her father finally hugged her.“Adriana, for God’s sake, I don’t care who this affects! I don’t care about a scandal; that bastard needs to pay for this, and…”“No.” Kyle’s dry, sharp voice cut him off, and Zack noticed the way he and Adriana looked at each other. As a father, he was furious, but Kyle understood that she didn’t want the added shame and scandal. “There’s no need to handle this publicly, Mr. Keller,” he stated firmly. “There’s no reason to give someone like this more attention than he deserves.”Zack opened his mouth to respond, but Adriana simply tugged at his jacket with a silent
CHAPTER 560. FIGHT FOR YOU. I’ve Got ThisIt was an unknown number, and Zack Keller knew very well that his personal phone was private enough that no one outside his family should be calling him. But with five kids, he couldn’t afford to ignore a call without first making sure it wasn’t from one of them.However, the urgent voice on the other end was completely unfamiliar."Am I speaking with Mr. Keller?" Kyle asked urgently, and Zack frowned.“Who is this?” he growled.“It doesn’t matter who I am. You don’t know me. I’m calling because someone broke into Adriana’s apartment, she isn’t answering her phone, and I’m on my way there right now.”“What do you mean someone broke into her…?”“Mr. Keller, listen! Adriana is in danger! This guy completely trashed her apartment, and I don’t know what he might do to her! Understand? I’m trying to get there, but I’m not going to make it in time. You need to get to her apartment, you need to get there, NOW!”Cursing, Zack didn’t even bother grabbi
CHAPTER 561. FIGHT FOR YOU. Boys with PermissionHe wasn’t a man prone to impulsiveness... or so he believed, but when it came to Adriana, it was as if all his self-control vanished in an instant. He took his leave from Mr. Keller with a casual two-fingered salute, military-style, and made his way into the house with all the confidence of someone who owned it.He knocked twice on the door and peeked inside to find Adriana wrapped in a soft unicorn pajama set that stirred more primal instincts in him than any sexy lingerie ever could.Normally, she was strong and decisive, but right then, she looked like a little princess in need of a dragon to guard her. And if there was one thing Kyle knew, it was that he was perfectly capable of breathing fire.“What...?! What are you doing here, Kyle? How did you get in?” she asked, stammering slightly, but a second later, she unconsciously stepped back as she watched him approach with that hungry, predatory stride.The few minutes he’d spent in he
CHAPTER 562. FIGHT FOR YOU. Whatever Will Be, Will Be!Adriana was speechless. Her apartment was completely different, and if she were honest, there wasn’t a single thing left that could bring up a memory.“Kyle, what is all this...? Did you... did you have the whole place redecorated? In a day?”“I’m a man with plenty of resources,” he replied, closing the door with a smile—one that quickly faded the moment she turned, her questioning gaze taking on an accusatory tone.“Enough resources to know what was going to happen?” she challenged. “Is that why you came all the way to Lucerne?”“What did you expect me to do?” he tried to defend himself. “I got tired of calling you when we saw that guy was in your apartment, but you didn’t answer because your phone was off, and...”“And how did you know Oskar was in my apartment, Kyle? *How*...?” She took a deep breath, feeling dizzy, and for the first time that day, she regretted not going to the hospital when her father had tried to take her. “
CHAPTER 563. FIGHT FOR YOU. A Difficult WomanIt was warm... No, not just warm—hot.Adriana felt soft breathing behind her neck and realized she was wrapped in a pair of strong arms. She stifled a startled gasp and was about to move when she felt something metallic pressing against her calves. She didn’t even need to turn around to know who it was.Because it was him! The cyborg was spooning her, all cozy and very... close."Rey!" she grumbled, and she saw him jolt awake."What? What happened?" he asked, suddenly alert as if ready for battle. She half-turned to look at those sleepy blue eyes. "Did you sleep well?" Kyle murmured, as if that were the most natural question to ask at this hour, and he watched her sigh."Well, I can’t complain about the ‘sleeping’ part. What I don’t understand is how I woke up with your hand on my boob and something pressing against my backside that I really hope is your knee."“Shit!” he exclaimed, trying to pull back, but he couldn’t, since the couch bac
CHAPTER 564. FIGHT FOR YOU. The BestAdriana looked at him like he was an alien straight off a spaceship."What? What’s wrong?" he asked, genuinely curious, as if being there were the most normal thing in the world.She frowned, got up from her desk, and moved around it to lean against it from the other side."Kyle... what are you doing?" she asked, trying to keep her cool."I told you, I’m here for a sports representation. You offered, and I decided to take it.""And I don’t believe it," she replied. "You said no. You were pretty clear about that...""Clear enough to hurt you," he murmured, remembering the stupid thing he’d said that day."And I got the message," she assured him. "I understood you weren’t interested, and I told you I wouldn’t bother you again. So whatever this is... please don’t continue. I’m really not in the mood today."She tried to move, but Kyle suddenly got up from his chair and stepped toward her, confidently, even a bit possessively, pressing her against the
