Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games

Chapter 105

"Spill it, Kyle. I'm a big girl. I can handle it."

He played with my hand almost absentmindedly and couldn't look me in the eyes. "First," he began slowly, "since I didn't fight last night, Andon's challenge was moved up to tonight." He paused and let that sink in. "You have three potential challengers, Kels. And I have a potential for another five. All of them put in their request for consideration and extension, meaning they haven't formally issued the challenges, but have been granted the right to do so for the remaining challenge period despite the 72 hour warning issued."

"What the hell? Kyle that would be eight challenges for you. EIGHT?!?" Lily screeched with barely controlled hysterics.

"Lil, I can't think of that right now. I have to concentrate on just surviving the Andon challenge

tonight."

I hugged him, trying to hold back tears. I wasn't scared for myself. Something freed in me during the Christine challenge and I no longer had any doubt in my capabilities. But back to back challenges against Kyle were causing a lot of stress on both of us.

"Do you want me to help prepare you for your battle against Andon?" Patrick offered.

Kyle nodded, "That would be nice. I could use a solid sparring partner this afternoon. But for the remainder of this morning I do not wish to discuss or think about challenges any further. How about pancakes?" He winked at me and I knew he was just trying to put up a good front.

Still, I played along. "Only if you have bacon to go with them."

"You drive a tough bargain, mate."

We kept the remaining morning to a light banter, but there was a falseness to it, an evil lingered over us all. And when it was time for Kyle to begin preparations for the evening, he and I said our see ya laters. Never goodbye! And he and Patrick left in reverent silence.
