Chapter 2264
Diana never imagined that her perfectly orchestrated evening would crash and burn like this. Everything was going so smoothly. She had even managed to deal with that thorn in her side, Kael. Until she found herself bound hand and foot alongside him, completely
blindsided.
“Guess it’s true what they say, ‘play with fire, and you’re gonna get burned, huh?” Kael sneered with a mocking laugh as Diána glared at him furiously.
“Was it you? Did you rat me out? You backstabbing jerk!”
It wasn’t until now that she even noticed Kael’s presence in the lounge. Moments before, she had been flirting with Balfour, utterly oblivious to the average Joe sitting across the
room.
Especially when Kael saw that blush on her face, that look of a woman obsessed- something he had never been privy to. She probably would not have noticed his presence if he had not spoken up.
How pathetic.
This unrequited love had cost him his self-respect and his future.
“What does it matter if I did or did not rat you out? You’ve already made up your mind about me, haven’t you?” Kael knew Diana better than anyone. Even before he confirmed anything, she had already convicted him in her mind.
What good would his denial do? It would end the same way.
“You’re such a loser, can’t even handle a woman properly,” He cursed at himself inwardly.
“Ugh, loser, don’t ever tell people you like me!” Diana’s facade had crumbled, revealing a look of disdain and superiority.
Kael gave a bitter laugh and asked, “Did you ever feel anything for me, even for a second?” Colton shook his head, resigned.
Even now, Kael was hung up on a fantasy, seeking a happy ending that would never come. Diana scoffed at him, looking him up and down with contempt. “Look at yourself. I’m destined for the stars. My future’s bright. Why on Earth would I ever settle for a useless weakling like you?”
Though they had never really been together, no one knew each other better than they did. Their deepest cares and greatest hates were an open book to each other.
Had Diana never felt a flicker of emotion for him? Even she did not believe that.

Before she was signed, she had hustled from set to set, content with bit parts, confident that even a single scène could showcase her talent. But who would have guessed that her moment in the spotlight would draw the wrath of a queen bee actress?
Nobody knew, but after being humiliated, she swore she would rise above it all and pay back every insult.
Back then, Kael had been by her side, powerless but fierce, defending her honor by beating up the assistant of that actress, only to provoke a more brutal retaliation.
All for her.
From that day on, Diana refused to be humiliated again. She clawed her way to the top until the actress who once shamed her was now behind bars.
In this cutthroat industry, she trusted no one. The only man whom she trusted had no ambition.
Kael’s lack of drive had extinguished any spark Diana might have once felt for him.
