CHAPTER 574. FIGHT FOR YOU. His Weight in GoldAdriana knew she had no right to react, whether positively or negatively, but knowing that and being able to hold back were two different things."Here's the lingerie you'll be modeling, Kyle," one of the stylists said, handing him a garment bag, and Adriana rolled her eyes at the overly sweet tone in her voice.He thanked her and disappeared for a few minutes, only to reappear wearing the black and gold Versace boxers, while everyone in the room stared in awe at his robotic legs—so sleek and metallic, yet elegant and muscular.“All right, move along, there’s nothing to see here, keep going!” Adriana grumbled before they could make him uncomfortable, and as if on cue, another voice chimed in.“I’ll apply the oil for the shoot!”Adriana huffed and rolled her eyes when she realized it was the same overly eager stylist, approaching with a bottle of body oil. But Kyle noticed Adriana’s murderous expression and grabbed the bottle from the woma
CHAPTER 575. FIGHT FOR YOU. Some Cute NicknamesAndrea Keller greeted them at the door with a radiant smile, her father right behind her, welcoming them in warmly. The aroma of dinner filled the house, and Adriana and Kyle exchanged a look as though they were walking into some sort of trap. It was clear Zack was the only one having a grand time here.Zack ushered them toward the table without much ceremony, and Adriana was relieved that none of her younger siblings were around; otherwise, the drama might have turned into Greek tragedy in seconds.“I heard you were a sensation in today’s ad shoot!” Zack exclaimed, fist-bumping Kyle. Adriana raised an eyebrow, a little wary of their budding camaraderie.“And I see you’re really interested in his contract, Dad,” she replied as she poured herself a glass of wine.“Well, I’m a bored old man since the new generation pushed me out, and I’ve got money to burn,” her father said with a shrug. “I need some good, clean entertainment, and if this
CHAPTER 576. FIGHT FOR YOU. A Man Back to His MemoriesAdriana and Kyle’s hearts pounded as they navigated through city traffic. Kyle’s hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white with each turn, dodging the car that seemed intent on getting closer.A black SUV with tinted windows followed closely, its headlights casting an eerie glow over their vehicle. Adriana’s breathing became uneven as she watched, realizing that no matter how Kyle maneuvered or turned, they couldn’t shake their pursuer, who kept getting closer whenever they tried to speed ahead.“Kyle, what are we going to do…?” she asked, her voice more angry than trembling. “Should I call the police?”Kyle’s jaw clenched as he focused on the road ahead.“Just stay calm,” he said, reaching for her hand for a brief second.His car took a sharp turn, tires squealing against the pavement, and he hit the gas as they sped forward, the engine roaring beneath them. The SUV tried to mirror his movements, but Ky
CHAPTER 577. FIGHT FOR YOU. In Each Other’s ArmsThe lights in the room were dim enough not to attract the attention of anyone watching at that hour, but bright enough for Adriana to see, in full force, the fury in the King’s eyes.Kyle’s fists were clenched in an effort to control the surge of adrenaline that threatened to overwhelm his composure. She could almost see his pulse, warm and strong, a steady rhythm matching his powerful, ragged breaths.“Look at me!” she demanded, knowing that what had just happened had stirred up too many painful memories for him to hold back.“Just do as I say…” Kyle’s voice was a low, rough growl, vibrating with the same tumultuous energy that she could feel echoing within herself. “Just listen to me, for once…”But Adriana stepped closer, gazing into those blue eyes that had turned into two dark, wild pools. Her hands brushed Kyle’s forearms, and he shivered at her touch. She could almost feel the air crackling between them, charged with the latent p
CHAPTER 578. FIGHT FOR YOU. A New StrategyWatching her sleep was one of the sweetest things he could imagine, but seeing her sleep naked on the floor of a cage, curled up against him, stirred feelings in Kyle Orlenko that he hadn’t known were there. She was the perfect woman for him. He wasn’t sure how he knew—it was just a certainty he felt deep inside.He pulled a blanket over them both, pressing a soft kiss to her hair as he held her in a possessive embrace. But the next morning, he awoke to the smell of freshly brewed coffee—and an empty cage.His heart raced, and he was about to call her name when he saw her step out of her room, freshly showered and dressed, placing a steaming cup of coffee in his hands."Hey," she whispered softly, standing on her toes to kiss him on the cheek. Kyle, still completely undressed, didn’t hesitate to hug her tightly and plant a possessive kiss on her hair."Hey, baby."The minutes that followed were a mix of awkward humor as they tried to decide w
CHAPTER 579. FIGHT FOR YOU. A Training SessionKyle was used to cages, to fights, but he had never imagined that Adriana’s marketing skills would go this far.She was like a busy little ant, arranging everything, and his father watched her with approval, as if this was exactly what he had wanted for his son."You can’t deny it; this girl has a natural intelligence, and she has an impressive knack for giving orders," Aaron chuckled. "Have you noticed how many people she managed to gather in such a short time? She has half of Monaco mobilized for a simple exhibition fight! I confess that back in my day, I had plenty of fights here, but no one ever drew a crowd like this."Kyle smiled to himself, knowing it was true. In the conference room of one of Monte Carlo’s most prestigious hotel chains, Adriana Keller had gathered journalists, TV network owners, investors, and representatives from numerous businesses and casinos in the city.Everyone wanted a spot in that fight; everyone wanted to
CHAPTER 580. FIGHT FOR YOU. Extermination!Bathed, perfumed, ready, clean, handsome, desirable, and downright delectable.With a bouquet of flowers he'd snatched from the first vase he’d passed in the hotel lobby and a box of chocolates that one of the event assistants had managed to fetch for him in record time, Kyle knocked on Adriana’s hotel room door. She opened it, looking frazzled and desperate, only to step aside and reveal the chaotic crowd that had arrived just minutes earlier.“What is all this?!” Kyle whispered, stunned.But before Adriana could answer, several hands were already tugging him inside, and the entire Keller family was hugging him, greeting him, bombarding him with questions as if they’d known him forever.It goes without saying that they’d arrived unannounced and all at once, like a pack. And it goes without saying that Kyle was graciously smiling at everyone. And it goes without saying that although his own family was large, nothing could compare to the regim
CHAPTER 581. FIGHT FOR YOU. Emphasis on “every day”The Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo had been prepared down to the last detail. Its doors were open not only to guests but to the public at large, and they’d had to hire over five hundred additional waitstaff to accommodate the sheer number of people arriving.There seemed to be no room for a single person more; it was utter madness. The corridors were packed, as were the lounges, the restaurants—even the gardens were brimming with people. Giant television screens were set up throughout the hotel and even in the outdoor areas, as access to the garden surrounding the cage match area required extra security and came with an added cost for those wanting to get close to the action.On every balcony, dozens of people gathered to watch, and thankfully, no one had yet discovered exactly which rooms the fighters were staying in!Adriana didn’t bother knocking; she slid her emergency keycard into the lock and slipped into Kyle’s room as quietly as
