Chapter 2 Andreas sat crossed legged on his grey coloured sofa tapping away furiously on the gamepad he was holding. Besides him was a tray of snacks and wrappers of empty ones littered all across his exquisitely furnished living room. His sharp brown eyes were focused solely on the TV screen as his athletic shoulder moved up and down inside the blue tank top he was wearing. Shouting loud curses at the screen when he missed an important pass. “Andreas. How stupid. You did it again, didn't you?” He muttered sadly to himself. The raw pain was evident in his voice. Then, he ended the game. Reaching for the remote control, he switched to a news channel and the voice of the reporter filled his spacious living room. ‘And on sports news,” the reporter began. “Andreas Martinez, the 24 year old striker for the Super Championship football club, was seen getting physical with another young man at the club yesterday. According to an eyewitness report…’ Andreas rolled his eyes as he groan

Chapter 3 “Mummy, we're back!” Mia was in her little garden watering her flowers when she heard Sofia's excited voice. She chuckled as she turned around, seeing her hopping towards her, with Susan trailing behind carrying some shopping bags as they entered the exquisite oasis.

Chapter 4 Andreas arrived at the private airport in Spain in his jet, only to be hurled by tons of reporters. As his security personnel tried to shield him and navigate a part for him through the crowd, he was bombarded with lots of questions like. “Andreas do you think you'll be part of coach Hernandez’s lineup your first game?”, “Andreas, is coach Hernandez finally terminating your contract?” Or “Andreas, what can you say about the viral videos of you making rounds on social media?” All these questions only angered him. He wanted to respond but he knew better. So, he just kept muttering “No comments” continually through gritted teeth until they were safely past them. He was accompanied to his hotel room, where he rested in preparation for training tomorrow morning. Then the next day arrived and he was picked up by the team's luxurious air-conditioned deluxe team bus. As they arrived at the stadium, there were already fans waiting at every corner to catch a glimpse of the

Chapter 5 The day for the champions world cup opening ceremony finally arrived. Mia was in her trailer at the back of the stadium with her crew members in sight. Everyone was busy and occupied with their task to make sure the ceremony was a success. Sofia and Susan were also with her. Although Susan was busy shouting orders and making sure everything was done right, she still made time to check on Sofia after Mia told her everything that she'd discovered. “Suzy, please do not let Sofia out of your sight. I can't let her meet that disgusting idol of hers”. Suzy was skeptical but she knew she couldn't win against Mia in an argument. “I promise to keep an eye on her. But you know you've already promised her. Who's gonna sign her jersey?” “I know Suzy. I'll sort it out. Just keep her busy until after my performance”. Mia pleaded. “You got it, boss!” Susan replied with a mock bow as they continued with the preparations. Outside her van, the stage was being set in the middle of o

Chapter 6 As the stadium's bright lights cast a golden glow on the lush green field, Andreas's turbulent emotions threatened to upend his entire world. He felt his will to succeed leave him. His morale drained from him. And for the first time in his career, he didn't want to be part of a game because he wasn't confident of winning. Their opposing team are two times world champions and current continental champions. Based on all odds, his team didn't stand a chance. In the dressing room, Andreas had been the subject of ridicule among his teammates. "Hey guys, guess who's performing in the opening ceremony?" one of the players asked, and the room erupted in mocking laughter. "It's our boy's sugar mummy!" another player yelled, making the others laugh even louder. "He thinks he's got a shot! I don't blame him though. I mean... she's hot!" Nico interjected, shooting Andreas a dangerous glare. Andreas couldn't take it anymore, so he threw down the towel he was holding and walk

Chapter 7 Mia trotted back to her van, her heart still racing from the encounter. As she stepped into the van, she was greeted by the concerned faces of her team. "Where's Sofia?" She asked immediately, and was informed that she had locked herself in her section of the van and refused to come out. Mia sighed warily as she plopped down on her small cushion. She'd always wanted to bring her daughter along. She wanted her daughter to watch her perform on the biggest stage of her career. But she'd ruined it. Her heart felt heavy, and she let the tears flow freely. "Oh, no! You're ruining your makeup, Mia." Susan's agitated voice called out. "Guys, come over here. We need to fix her makeup. Again." Susan pulled out a box of tissues, handing them to Mia. As Mia's team worked to repair her makeup, Susan tried to reassure her. "Mia, just let Sofia have what she wants. You brought her here to spend time with you, and not so you two could bicker." Mia was unable to say anything, but

Chapter 8 Andreas watched from the pitch as Mia's powerful voice filled the stadium. His eyes fixed on her with a mixture of admiration and longing. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he watched her command the stage with her presence. As Mia's performance reached its climax, Andreas found himself drawn to her, his feet moving of their own accord and he found himself singing to all the classics he'd enjoyed as a teenager up until now. Andreas stood confidently on the field, his chiseled features and piercing blue eyes gleaming. The warm glow of the setting sun cast a golden light on his broad shoulders, accentuating the powerful muscles that rippled beneath his sleek jersey. He stood there surrounded by his teammates and their child mascot. Looking down at his entwined hands with Sofia, Mia’s daughter, he could feel her excitement. Just as his gaze returned to Mia, her eyes met his, and for a moment, they just stared at each other. The air was electric with tension

Chapter 63If the devil wore perfume, she imagined it would smell like hers, the notes of oud and amber coiling through the air like subtle poison. Tania checked her reflection in the rearview mirror one final time, admiring the silk blouse cinched at her waist, the designer sunglasses that veiled the madness behind her eyes, and the dark lipstick she applied like war paint. No one would question her intentions today. She didn’t look like the type who came bearing vengeance. She looked just like an influential mother who'd just come to enroll her three-year-old son. Brian sat quietly in the back seat of the car she'd borrowed from her doctor buddy Luke. He sat in his booster behind her, clutching a juice box, his legs swinging gently. He had no idea what the day meant. What it cost.“Ready, baby?” she asked sweetly, stepping out of the car and rounding it with practiced elegance. The click of her heels was confident and precise as she unbuckled him and took his tiny hand in hers.The
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 62: Where it Hurts.
Chapter 62The door slammed shut behind her like a final verdict.Tania’s heels clicked with frantic rhythm on the battered laminate floor as she stormed into the apartment, a raging storm of anger bubbling in her very being. She barely registered her environment as arms tightened around Brian, who was starting to squirm, and with a huff of frustration, she dropped him onto the lumpy old couch.He fussed immediately, whimpering, kicking, and rubbing his eyes with tiny balled fists, but she was already pacing, clawed hands dragging through her sweat-damp blonde hair. Her skin prickled. Her teeth ground together. Her ears buzzed with the echo of Andreas’s voice, still rattling around her skull like shrapnel.“Full custody,” she spat, venom thick on her tongue. “He said he wants full custody. He's crazy if he thinks, even for one second that I'll agree to give up my child without a fight!”Brian’s cries grew louder as he heard Tania's a

Chapter 61The words settled like a rock in Mia's chest."I'm fighting to get full custody of my son, Brian" Andreas whispered into the quiet of her room, his breath still warm against her collarbone.Mia stiffened in his arms, pulling back just enough to meet his eyes. The air between them crackled but not with the heat from moments before, but with the weight of something heavier, denser. Her lips parted, but the question came out as barely more than a breath."What?"Andreas’s hands slid to her waist, grounding her, steadying her as though he could sense the shift happening inside her. He didn’t repeat himself. He didn’t have to.The room felt suddenly colder, shadows stretching longer against the walls, and the humming silence that followed was almost unbearable.Mia stepped back, folding her arms over her chest as if she could shield herself from the storm that was gathering within. "You want to take him away f
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 60: Last Strand
Chapter 60The late afternoon sun bled golden streaks across the sky, casting long shadows over the city park. Laughter rang in the air with children squealing in delight, parents chatting, and the occasional bark of a dog as it chased after a ball. To any outsider, it looked like a perfect family outing. But for Tania, every cheerful note in the air grated against her nerves. As her eyes landed on Andreas, she noticed the tension emanating from his body and he looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here. She watched from the bench as Andreas stood by the side of the play area, his hands in the pockets of his charcoal hoodie, eyes fixed on the small boy laughing inside the ball pit. Brian’s curls bounced as he flailed through the rainbow-colored plastic, his face lit up in wonder and glee. Occasionally, he’d look up, searching for his mother or Andreas. Whenever his gaze landed on Andreas, he’d wave shyly. And Andreas, sweetly and patiently, would

Chapter 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.
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 58: Midnight Bloom
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
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 57: A Taste of Something Missing
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,
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 56: Not Welcome Here
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
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 55: Fatherhood's Edge
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
