The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 2261

Sitting across from Kael, who was flanked by watchful guards, Colton couldn’t help but exhale a heavy sigh. “So, this is where we’re at, huh? Any regrets?”

Kael gave a wry smile. His hands were tangled in his hair, head bowed, avoiding eye contact. “What’s the use of talking about regrets now? I’ve done what I’ve done.”

This nonchalant attitude infuriated the producer, who stood up abruptly, “Is that all you’ve got to say? Do you still fancy yourself some kind of tragic hero, sacrificing it all for love?”

Kael looked up, his eyes bloodshot and weary, “What else do you expect me to do now? Tell me!”

Balfour, uninterested in their personal squabbles and growing tired of their bickering, cut to the chase, “Who’s pulling the strings? Give them up, and you might just lessen your own charges.”

His voice was so cold it sent a shiver through Kael.

“Don’t bother playing games with me. If you don’t talk, I have other ways to find out about the woman you’re protecting.”

Diana’s name was on the tip of his tongue, and even without Kael spilling it, Colton and the producer knew that only she could drive Kael to such lengths.
