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
CHAPTER 582. FIGHT FOR YOU. Kings Don’t KneelThe commentator’s voice boomed over even the crowd’s noise, but there was no sound louder than Adriana’s heartbeat pounding in her ears as she watched Kyle and his father circling each other inside the cage.They looked like two hungry predators, two fighting dogs eyeing the prize of victory like a bowl of food. There was no emotion there, only survival. And no one doubted it for a second the moment they attacked each other as if they were anything but family.Adriana covered her mouth with her hands, stunned by the ferocity of the fight—it was beyond anything she’d imagined. Training was a game, but those punches drew blood, and each metal part clashed with such force that sparks flew and the grating sound of tearing metal rang out as pieces broke or came loose.“THIS HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THIS IS INSANE!” the commentator yelled. “MODIFIED MEN! ENHANCED MEN! FURIOUS MEN! DAMN ENGINEERING IN A FULL-FRONTAL FIGHT
CHAPTER 583. FIGHT FOR YOU. Where Are We Going?Getting her out of there was like *Mission Impossible XII: For Lovers*, but there was nothing an Orlenko couldn’t pull off if he wanted to. They snuck out of the hotel, and Kyle drove to a small, remote lighthouse near the coast.“I’m so proud of what you achieved tonight,” Adriana smiled. “But if I’m honest, all I really want to know is that you’re okay… The fight got intense and—”Kyle leaned his seat back and pulled her to straddle him.“I’m more than fine,” he assured her, gazing into her eyes. “And I’m about to be even better.”Adriana leaned her body over his, her hands sliding down his back to his hips. Her lips brushed his ear before trailing down his neck, and her hand found its way under his shirt. She gasped softly as she felt him push her panties aside and brush against her bare skin.“You have no idea how much I need this,” he whispered, devouring her mouth, and in an instant, a spark set a fire raging between them.Adriana
CHAPTER 584. FIGHT FOR YOU. Rivals“Leave it for tomorrow.” Adriana’s reply was automatic and natural. “I need to hand over a bunch of clients, and now’s not a good time. I just came by to make sure everything’s in order and to rub my amazing pitch in Mauro’s face,” she laughed. “I’ll handle the rest tomorrow; today I’ve got something more urgent to do.”And that “urgent” thing was rushing home because that fighter had become like an addiction.Her assistant left the office and approached a tall, muscular man waiting outside.“Sorry, Miss Keller has… more important things to do,” she said, trying to hide her flirtatious tone, as he was definitely the kind of man who’d catch any woman’s attention. “Maybe she can see you tomorrow.”“I see.” The man smiled politely and walked toward his new office.Meanwhile, Adriana was heading home, fully aware she was probably being followed, even if she couldn’t see it. She stopped in the hallway of her building, unsure of which door to head toward,
CHAPTER 585. FIGHT FOR YOU. JealousyShe was stunning. The way Adriana moaned sent Kyle over the moon, to infinity and beyond. But the rest of Adriana Keller had the same effect on him. Watching her work at the computer, especially when she was giving orders... that just drove him wild.What he definitely didn’t enjoy, though, was the new guy who’d joined the company. He had to be about twelve years older. Not exactly old, but not a kid either, though he looked overly “polished,” like he put way too much effort into his appearance.Kyle had felt that unpleasant sensation from the moment they shook hands, as if his hands were too soft for a man’s. But he didn’t bring it up, not wanting to seem like the... well, slightly possessive, jealous type he actually was.“Hey babe… this Burgges guy… where did he come from?” he asked, setting down one of the plates he’d prepared for her as he watched her work.“From Human Resources,” Adriana replied with a shrug, closing her laptop and setting it
