CHAPTER 597. FIGHT FOR YOU. You're a Damn Danger!The plan was actually pretty basic: Climb onto the roof.Avoid breaking his neck rolling off the edge.Reach the chimney.Slide down it.Slowly tighten his grip around Adriana’s neck while kissing her hard, so she’d know he was punishing her.**Plan flaws:** His hands were frozen stiff from the damn cold.The cabin roof was covered in snow.The snow had hardened into a slippery sheet of ice.The smoke from the chimney made it impossible to see how far down he could slide.Adriana would probably kill him with a log—or something similar—if he even *thought* about kissing her right now, let alone passionately.**Conclusion?** He was bound to lose. But still, like any dashing knight, generous lover, and brutish, immature, barely functional man, Kyle Orlenko climbed up the side of the cabin, cursing under his breath as he tried not to slip on the ice, sweating beneath his hood despite the freezing temperatures. “I’ll kill her! I’ll kill
CHAPTER 598. FIGHT FOR YOU. Tell Me It’s Not Because of Me“You can’t do this…! Let me go!” Adriana growled, biting her lower lip so hard it bled. Still, Kyle’s tongue plunged into her mouth, his arms locking around her so tightly that for a moment, Adriana thought she might suffocate. She beat against his chest with all the strength she had, trying to push him away, but all it earned her was his hands gripping her face as he kissed her even more fiercely. His tongue was still dominant and unmistakable. His body was still hot and powerful, his instincts just as primal. The spark between them still burned, but Adriana wasn’t entirely sure she wanted it to reignite at that moment. Gradually, her resistance faded until Kyle could feel her stop struggling. He felt her stop resisting—but he didn’t feel her surrender. That difference between consent and indifference hit Kyle hard, and he pulled his mouth away from hers. “Adriana…” “Let me know when you’re done,” she murmured, staring u
CHAPTER 599. FIGHT FOR YOU. Esther KieganHe was furious. She was furious. Outside, the weather seemed worse than both of them combined, with gusts of wind battering the cabin’s walls as if they were solid objects. Kyle had accounted for everything before bringing Adriana here—everything except the weather. So, he sat back on the couch, completely relaxed, knowing no one in their right mind would come for them in this storm. The fire was crackling warmly, the cabin was cozy, and he knew the lingering effects of the pills he’d used to put her to sleep would knock Adriana out sooner than later. And he wasn’t wrong. An hour later, she was already curled up by the windowsill again. He resisted the urge to carry her to the bed, fighting against the gnawing suspicion that all of this was happening because of him. Maybe it was the noises outside—the creaking trees—or just his own confidence, but by the time the sound of breaking glass startled him, it was already too late. The windows ha
CHAPTER 600. FIGHT FOR YOU. PainKyle was dazed. The small, targeted explosion had destroyed his metal legs below the knees. Would it kill him? No. Did it hurt like hell? Absolutely. Because even though those legs were artificial, the way the base plates were connected to the nerve networks in his limbs made the pain feel infinite—and then some. He glared at Vance with concentrated hatred, and for one terrible second, he understood that he couldn’t stop him from taking Adriana. “Let her go now!” he hissed. “And maybe I’ll let you keep breathing…” “You know that’s not going to happen!” “Then make sure I don’t find you,” Kyle growled. “Because if you so much as harm a single hair on her head, I guarantee you’ll spend the rest of your sad, long, miserable life in a three-by-three-meter cell with me, tied to a chair as I tear you apart piece by piece. Got it?” The fury in his eyes made it impossible to misunderstand, but that wasn’t going to stop Burgges. “Well, who would’ve though
CHAPTER 601. FIGHT FOR YOU. Where is that Memory?The world spun strangely. He felt dizzy, uncomfortable, and a dull pain coursed through his body as if a truck had run him over. Opening his eyes and realizing he was bound only made his entire body react, trying to break free. “Calm down, calm down! It’s me, your uncle!” Caleb said quickly. Kyle breathed a small sigh of relief—until he noticed he was lying on what looked like a hospital table while a device scanned over his body. “Relax, I’m just making sure you don’t have any internal damage. Your legs are wrecked, so I want to ensure that damn blast didn’t mess up any organs.” Kyle pressed his lips together. Honestly, he wasn’t sure; everything hurt too much, starting with his legs. But he said nothing about that. “Did you bring others?” he asked, and they both knew what he meant. “Yes, I brought another pair of prosthetics. We’ll talk about that in a moment.” Caleb spent another five minutes ensuring everything was okay. The
CHAPTER 602. FIGHT FOR YOU . I Can’t Promise ThatKyle’s eyes shifted in disbelief toward the base plates connected to his body. Those were never changed except during surgical procedures and were completely independent of the prosthetics, which could be swapped out as needed. His uncle approached one of the plates and pointed to a tiny compartment, resembling a phone SIM slot. It was so small that no one would have noticed it. From it, he extracted a micro SD card that looked like a grain of black sand in the fighter’s large hand. “I need to know what’s on it,” Kyle stated firmly. “At this point, it doesn’t matter what the hell happens if we connect it. That guy has Adriana, and he’s a professional. If he knew my mother, he must’ve been MI6 or…” He paused, lost in thought, before glancing at the three men around him. “Or he’s just a pawn.” His father frowned, placing the memory card in Caleb’s hand as he asked, “Do you think someone else might be involved?” “Vance Burgges… he’s n
CHAPTER 603. FIGHT FOR YOU. An AdvantageIt hurt. God, it hurt—but Kyle wasn’t about to admit that right now! “You need to understand the risks…” Victor tried to reason with him while adjusting one of the prosthetics, watching his older brother let out a growl of pain. “You’re not my warranty provider, little brother. Save the lecture.” “Hey, knock it off! This could be dangerous for you!” Victor snapped. “You can’t just do whatever you want! If you ruin the base plates, you’ll need another surgery, you idiot!” “And you think I care about that?!” Kyle shot back in frustration. “Adriana’s in danger—because of me, you get that?! I can’t let anything happen to her!” Victor was about to argue when their father intervened. “That’s enough! You’re not solving anything by fighting. You—” he pointed at Victor, “—put the prosthetics on him. And you—” he turned to Kyle, “—accept the consequences and deal with them, whatever they may be.” Kyle gave a curt nod, and a few minutes later, he w
CHAPTER 604. FIGHT FOR YOU. First QuestionThey had thrown a jacket over her shoulders to help with the cold, but Adriana had no idea where she was. Vance Burgges had dragged her to this place, and after talking to Kyle, he blindfolded her before moving her again. She realized she wasn’t tied up, but every wall around her was padded and soft. She stood up abruptly and saw a man silhouetted against the dim pre-dawn light. “What is this?! Where are we?!” she demanded in fear as Vance threw several military-grade chem lights at her feet. Adriana grabbed one and snapped it, illuminating a small enclosed space about fifteen square meters in size. Apart from her and a water bottle, there was nothing else there. “Don’t worry. In a few hours, your boyfriend will give me what I want, and then he’ll have your location. Until then… try not to die,” Vance sneered mockingly. Adriana watched him shut the door behind him. She knew it would be pointless to pound on it or scream; she doubted any
