Despite their instant attraction, their 10-year age gap and Mia's troubled past make her hesitant. As they ignite a forbidden romance, the media frenzy threatens to destroy Mia's reputation and career.

When Lucas is found dead, Mia becomes the prime suspect, and Andreas risks everything to clear her name. As they navigate their perilous quest for truth, they must also rescue Sofia, who's been kidnapped. Will Mia and Andreas overcome their past mistakes and find love and redemption, or will their secrets tear them apart?
View MoreChapter 59 Mia's night had shifted. It was no longer a hollow echo of Andreas's silence, but now something alive, something burning. The moment she ran into his arms, her body responded before her mind could catch up. His warmth swallowed her, strong arms lifting her as her legs instinctively wrapped around his waist. Her breath caught in her throat as he kissed the side of her neck, his hands firm beneath her thighs. "Shh... quiet," she whispered against his ear, her voice low and teasing. "Sofia's asleep." "Then I guess we better keep our voices down," he murmured, his grin pressed against her skin. He carried her inside like she weighed nothing, and Mia giggled softly, burying her face in his shoulder. The door clicked shut behind them, sealing their world off from everything outside. He set her down in the living room, but Mia didn’t let go of his hand. She held it tightly, eyes sparkling with intention.
Chapter 58The moonlight draped the streets in silver shadows as Mia pulled into her driveway, the quiet hum of the engine the only sound breaking the stillness of the night. She turned off the ignition and glanced at the passenger seat where Sofia, bundled in her favorite pink hoodie, dozed with her head tilted against the window. A soft smile curled on Mia’s lips. The day had been long, filled with laughter, running feet, spilled juice, and the warmth of old friendship. But it had also left a familiar ache in her chest. One she couldn't shake.Inside the house, she carried Sofia upstairs, her daughter’s weight warm and limp in her arms. She laid her gently on the bed, pulling the soccer field-patterned blanket up to her chin and brushing a curl from her forehead. The little girl murmured in her sleep, turning slightly, and Mia kissed her on the temple. “Goodnight, my love,” she whispered.The night air hung heavy with the scent of jas
Chapter 57The late afternoon sun bled gold through the gauzy curtains of Susan’s living room, casting soft patterns on the cream carpet beneath Mia’s feet. She stood by the large window, cradling her own silence as she watched the world outside it. Susan’s home. The smell of fresh coffee drifted from the open kitchen, blending with the faint scent of lavender from a nearby diffuser.Her eyes wandered to the lush, perfectly mowed lawn that stretched like a soft green painting outside the glass. On it, laughter danced freely. Shawn, Susan’s husband, barefoot and grinning, was tossing a worn-out soccer ball between Sofia and Nick, both children squealing with joy as they ran after it, arms flailing, giggles unrestrained. The kind of joy that belonged to a life untainted.“Susan!” Shawn called, turning slightly as the ball skidded past him. “Make that two cups, will you?”“I already am, you clown!” came Susan’s voice from the kitchen,
Chapter 56 Mia woke to the shrill ring of her phone before the sun had even risen, pale light filtering through her bedroom curtains. Her heart thudded in her chest when she saw Andreas’s name on the screen. “I… wanted to let you know,” his voice was gentle but strained, “Brian’s stable. He’s out of the ICU. They’re moving him to a regular pediatric ward this morning.” Mia exhaled, relief and guilt twinning in her throat. “Thank God,” she whispered. She'd been concerned since he told her last night about the child's condition. She was going to go to him, but it was already late in the night. “Do you want me to come?” she asked. Silence lengthened on the other end. Then he said, “Yes. Please…” “Okay…” Mia replied. “Sofia’s coming too,” she added before they ended the call. A few minutes later, Mia roused Sofia with sleepy kisses. “Come on, Sofia. W
Chapter 55 The fluorescent lights of Health Wise General Hospital stretched in an endless grid overhead, humming like a swarm of bees trapped behind a glass ceiling. Andreas burst through the revolving doors, his pulse thrumming so loudly he feared the echoes might give him away. Every polished tile underfoot gleamed with sterility and antiseptic scents that clashed with the knot of dread tightening in his gut. He scanned the reception desk. A weary nurse looked up, blinking at the late hour. He spoke first, “I'm here for a Brian Costa..” He said guessing the child's last name to be the same as Tania's. “Brian Costa?” The nurse asked as she browsed through the computer in front of her, taking longer than usual. Andreas then, cut straight to the point, voice rough with urgency. “Where is he?” The nurse pointed down a corridor lined with pediatric wards. “Room 312…” Her eyes, sympat
Chapter 54 The air was cool, heavy with the earthy scent of night blooming jasmine that curled around the edges of Mia’s elegant home like a whispered lullaby. Crickets played their song somewhere in the distance as Andreas stood by the side of the house, surrounded by glass and stillness, peering through the transparent walls into a home that he now felt comfortable in. Inside, warm amber light spilled over the polished wooden floors, catching the reflection of Sofia’s toys scattered near the couch and the empty wine glasses from dinner. The echo of laughter still danced in his ears, soft, innocent, and untainted. For the first time in what felt like forever, his chest wasn’t tight with anxiety or guilt. His pulse had slowed. His breath moved easy. This was what peace tasted like. He was still smiling when he heard the soft pad of bare feet approaching. Mia stepped out onto the stone pathway, her silhouette glow
Chapter 53 The aroma of roasted chicken and herbed potatoes wafted through the softly lit dining room, mingling with the low hum of evening jazz streaming from the speakers. It was warm inside Mia's home, the golden glow of pendant lights bouncing off the glass walls and illuminating the polished wood floors. Everything shimmered with quiet elegance yet the air was thick with anticipation. Andreas stepped through the front door, looking sharp in a navy button-down and dark jeans that hugged his lean frame. As Mia ushered him in, her perfume clung to the air, a soft trail of jasmine and citrus. Before she could say a word, a blur of excitement flew across the room. "Andreas!" Sofia shouted, leaping into his arms. He caught her effortlessly, a grin splitting his face. "Hey, little star…” “I'm glad you could make it.” Sofia cooed. And
Chapter 52The soft click of Mia’s heels echoed through the hallway as she walked down the stairs, like a countdown to a new beginning.Andreas stood at the edge of the hallway, one hand stretched out to Mia, the other tucked in his suit pocket. His tailored black designer tux clung to him perfectly, sharp lapels gleaming under the warm lighting. His gaze swept over Mia as she emerged in a midnight-blue silk gown that shimmered with her every breath. It hugged her curves and dipped low at her back, exposing skin he longed to kiss.He smiled. “You ready?”Mia met his gaze, her lips glossed in a dark berry hue. She gave a soft nod. “I am.”From the couch, Susan closed her tablet and stood. “Remember, there’s going to be a lot of attention on you guys. Paparazzi, tabloids, those obnoxious Twitter threads…”“We’re ready,” Mia said, slipping her arm into Andreas’s.“We deleted everything, Susan,” Andreas added
Chapter 51 The previous day. Tania stood outside Andreas’s modern villa, her fingers tightening around the envelope clutched in her hand. The late afternoon sun filtered through the clouds, casting long shadows across the polished stone steps. Her lips were painted a shade too red, her eyes too wild beneath heavy lashes. She wasn’t here to plead. She was here to win. She noticed the tight security, both men and gadgets, and she wondered if it was just because of the scandal or something else. As she walked through the gate, her mouth hung open shamelessly as she took in the ambiance of the house. Andreas has done well for himself, she thought. And she should be part of it. Enjoy it. If she wasn't swayed by that rundown rock star she'll be the queen of all these by now. But nonetheless, she was back and was going to take back what was rightfully hers. As she approached the main building, the door swung open before she could knock, and there stood Martin. Andreas’s ever-loyal
