Chapter 2251
Kael had always thought of catching Thalia to be as easy as squashing a bug, but now she
was proving to be more like a wild cat-small, unremarkable in appearance, darting in and
out of shadows between the buildings.
His patience, initially abundant, was now running thin.
“Thalia? That’s your name, right? If I were you, I’d come out now. Play nice, and maybe
just maybe I might let you off the hook. But if you keep hiding, sweetheart, it’s gonna be a

out, his voice a blend of mock concern and barely concealed threat.
Huddled next to a dingy dumpster, Thalia trembled uncontrollably, biting her lip to stifle
the shakes. The man hunting her, Kael, had done unspeakable things under Diana’s
command, and now he was hell-bent on silencing her for good.
However, Thalia was determined not to go down without a fight.
“Margot, please hurry,” she thought to herself, “I don’t think I can hold out much longer.”
For Balfour, everything had fallen into place with surprising ease. It had only been two
days since Diana had grown impatient and ordered another hit on someone who knew too
much. It was baffling how someone so hasty had previously been overlooked by Colton
and the producer as a suspect.
Now, they all were coming to grips with the extent of the threat Diana posed to their film
crew. A series of tragic accidents hinted at the handiwork of someone as ruthless as
Diana.
The crew was racing toward Thalia, praying they weren’t too late.
Diana set down her wine glass with an air of nonchalance, her fingers rhythmically tapping

she’d make sure to eliminate them without a trace.
Sweat beaded on Kael’s forehead as he crouched like a lone wolf, sniffing for a scent. The
small, unassuming Thalia was proving to be a real pain to find. With mounting frustration,
he realized he had to wrap this up soon or risk exposing himself.
If he couldn’t finish Thalia off, Diana would surely have a field day mocking him. And while
being the butt of a joke was one thing, Diana was the type to kick someone when they
were down-something Kael feared even though he knew she was the one who should be
worried.
Like a trapped beast, Kael’s temper flared. “Where are you? Come out, come out,
wherever you are!” he bellowed into the darkening cityscape.
