CHAPTER 614. FIGHT FOR YOU. Intensive MotivationThe key detail wasn’t that the property was enormous but what it offered. Zack, a retired athlete and one of the best in his field even with his years, had dealt with injuries his entire life and knew exactly what was needed for a long recovery.“Just so you know, this was a team effort,” Adriana teased with a wink as they were left alone, walking ahead to show him the house.Nearly everything was on the ground floor, so Kyle wouldn’t even need to worry about stairs. Yet as she explained how everything was within reach, Adriana noticed his face growing darker.She couldn’t fully grasp how hard it was for him to feel so limited again. But before that darkness could settle over him, she leaned in and captured his mouth in a playful, flirty kiss before opening the back door.“Don’t get too comfortable yet. The best part is coming,” she said, biting her lip. Kyle wheeled himself to see a massive black-glass structure in the backyard, like
CHAPTER 615. FIGHT FOR YOU. My Little Piece of HeavenShe was absolutely insane. But she was his insane, and Kyle felt his breath hitch as Adriana’s top slid down her skin, revealing nothing but a provocative, dangerous black lace bra that outlined the tantalizing curve of her breasts.“Adriana…” he tried to scold her, but the smile on her lips was far more than just an invitation.“You just have to make it here,” she whispered, sliding her thumbs between the waistband of her shorts and her skin. “It’s six steps… it’s going to hurt, I know… but if you make it here, I promise I’ll make you forget everything.”Kyle clenched his jaw in silent refusal, but there was something far more important than a semi-naked woman standing before him. What he saw was his woman—the one fighting alongside him despite his bad moods, his depression, and his urge to give up. What stood before him was a brave woman… and a scorching one, one he couldn’t disappoint anymore. He saw the infinite pride in her e
CHAPTER 616. FIGHT FOR YOU. I Love YouIt was impossible to describe. Simply having her with him was more than he could have dreamed of. It wasn’t just sex; it was that playful intimacy where kisses were the most important thing—every touch, every shared gasp, every small jolt of pleasure that coursed through them both at the same time.Adriana was that for him: an oasis of peace filled with pleasure, complicity, and laughter, where lust exploded anywhere—even on the floor of a fighting cage.He heard her stifle a moan as she slid down the mesh of the cage, taking him with her. It didn’t take much for her to feel the pressure of his erection against her sex. She was wet, her nipples hard little buttons in his mouth as Kyle savored and teased every inch of her breasts.He loved her with her eyes closed, simply feeling. He loved her with her fingers buried in his hair, trying to guide him. He loved her straddling him, moving slowly, as if she wanted to delay what was about to happen fo
CHAPTER 617. FIGHT FOR YOU. A DealKyle hadn’t wanted to ask, but he knew Vance Burgges had survived the freighter disaster—even though he had been the one to manipulate the crane, dropping the container in an attempt to kill them. He also knew that either his father or perhaps his grandmother was handling the situation, but he didn’t want to probe further. What truly worried him was whether he would ever be able to stand on his legs again.Now, however, he found himself in a truck with his father, heading to the airport.“We’re taking a quick trip. There and back,” Aaron informed him.“To Ukraine?” Kyle pressed.“Yeah, but don’t worry. The house will have top-notch security, and the walking weapon of mass destruction that is your sister will stay with Adriana until we return,” his father reassured him.“And in what universe is that supposed to calm me down, Dad? She’ll probably teach Adriana how to wield a frying pan! This is a disaster! Do you know if she brought her own, or are th
CHAPTER 618. FIGHT FOR YOU. The Right GirlAdriana had experienced nearly every mood Kyle had, from his best to his worst. But what she felt from him now wasn’t just anger—it was a dark, concentrated energy threatening to destroy everything around him unless he found a way to channel it.“I don’t remember much about her,” he murmured, pulling her hand and settling Adriana on his lap. “After the accident, my mind just… let her go. I don’t remember much about my mother’s face, but I do remember that I loved her. I remember she was important to me. I remember what it was like to lose her.”Adriana stroked his hair and wrapped her arms behind his neck, holding him close.“I’m so sorry. No child deserves to lose their parents. It must have been so hard for you,” she said softly in his ear.“It was. Until my father showed up, the world was a black hole for me. But the Orlenkos changed everything. My parents gave me a new family—the best family in the world. So eventually, it hurt less. But
CHAPTER 619. FIGHT FOR YOU. The First and Last Man StandingAlejandra Rivera belonged to a transitional generation. Aaron Orlenko was already over seventeen when Sammy and Diablo had their twins, so her age difference with Kyle was minimal. Yet, there wasn’t a soul on Earth who wasn’t terrified of her.Anyone might think Ángel, her twin, had inherited all of Diablo’s… violent talents, but it was actually Alejandra who had followed Darío Rivera into the cage and beyond. While she had never become a fighter herself, she was the most sought-after and feared trainer in the underground cage-fighting world.That’s why Adriana hadn’t hesitated for a second to call the best.“How could you do this to me?! You don’t love me!” Kyle sighed dramatically, pouting, but Alejandra simply threw an arm over his shoulders with a cheerful grin.“Don’t be a crybaby!” she scolded, setting a plate in front of him with a steak that looked like the entire cow. “Eat up—we’ve got a lot of training today.”Kyle
CHAPTER 620. FIGHT FOR YOU. Part of the TrainingThe last fighter in the history of underground cages to win an event as dangerous as The First and Last Man Standing had been Diablo Rivera.After him, Aaron Orlenko had been forced to participate once, but the intervention of a small yet dangerous mafia princess had put an end to that kind of extortion and secured his safety.Many had tried since, but the truth was there was no tournament as grueling as this one. A man would step into the cage and have to fight anyone daring enough to enter. The only rule was that no more than two contenders could be in the cage at the same time, but the challenger couldn’t refuse any number of opponents. If ten showed up, he had to fight ten; if it was twenty, then twenty. As long as someone was willing to walk through that cage door, the event wouldn’t end.Adriana felt her heart clench; she’d had enough time to fully grasp the risks of such a cage.“Kyle…” she murmured, standing up from her desk ch
CHAPTER 1. More than one way to break a heart**JANUARY SEATTLE**"How could you do this?!" Zack Keller's furious roar stopped his girlfriend right at the door as soon as he saw her arrive.Giselle saw a piece of paper in his hand and had no idea what he was talking about, but she had never seen him so upset as he was at that moment."I don't know what you're talking about...""Of course you do! You aborted my child! You lost it on purpose!" he accused her angrily. "Did you at least have the damn intention of telling me anything?!"The woman in front of him turned pale."How... how do you know...?"Zack threw the paper in her direction and looked at her with disappointment."Do you forget you're on my company's health insurance?" he spat, approaching her. "As soon as your last name appeared in the payment records, they notified me. Imagine my joy when I found out the insurance had paid for a pregnancy test and then for an ultrasound!"Giselle stepped away from him, her face red with e
