Love in the Limelight novel Chapter 503

The killer was naively optimistic, believing he could easily take down Astrid.

But in a flash, Elio, who had been lying next to her, bolted upright!

He kicked out, his foot crashing down on the killer's wrist. Before the killer could even process what was happening, his dagger was snatched away by Elio, and the next second, it was buried in his chest.

Astrid sprang to her feet and with a swift kick, sent the killer tumbling to the ground.

The commotion roused the others, and Naylor woke up with a start!

Taking in the scene, Naylor quickly grasped the situation and picked up a baseball bat from beside his bed. He strode over to stand in front of Elio and Astrid. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

Realizing the gig was up, the killers dropped all pretense.

It would take time for the production crew to notice something was amiss, and they had already taken out the surrounding bodyguards.

“Back off if you know what’s good for you,” one of the killers snarled, “We’re only after these two. Turn a blind eye, and we'll let you walk away!”

“You think I'm going to let you mess with my friends and just play dumb?” Naylor stepped in front of Astrid, shielding her. “Fighting is a man's game. You better step back, sweetheart, wouldn't want you getting dirty with all the blood that's about to fly.”

Astrid paused, slightly taken aback.
