Chapter 12

Mia's private jet touched down on the runway, sending a flurry of paparazzi into a frenzy. Mia's mere presence was a magnet, drawing in the gaze of everyone around her like a supernova exploding in the night sky.

Her eyes, like two glittering sapphires, sparkled with a mix of frustration and exhaustion. The weight of her fame, the constant scrutiny, and the relentless attention had taken its toll.

Despite the fact that Mia wore a full disguise, a black hoodie which she used to hide hair, a nose mask and a dark shade of glass to hide her face, her fans still recognized her.

As she stepped off the plane, a cacophony of camera shutters and screams of excitement assaulted her senses. As she walked down the airport Isle, she just waved and bowed politely at her enthusiastic fans as she hurried towards the waiting car.

Her security team swiftly ushered her toward the sleek, black Mercedes waiting to whisk her away to the luxurious resort that would be her home for the next w

  • FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR    Forbidden Desire

    Chapter 13 The darkness of the night enveloped Mia like a shroud, her exhaustion evident. She'd just stepped out of the shower, the warm water cascading down her skin like a gentle caress, when she saw him. Andreas was sitting on the sofa, his eyes fixed intently on her, his presence seeming to fill the entire room. Mia's heart skipped a beat as she felt a jolt of electricity run through her veins. She was naked, except for the towel wrapped around her, and Andreas's gaze seemed to burn with an inner fire. "What are you doing in my room?" she demanded, her voice husky with agitation. Andreas didn't respond, his eyes never leaving hers as he stood up and walked towards her. Mia's breath caught in her throat as he approached, his movements fluid and predatory. She backed away slowly, her eyes locked on his, until she felt the wall behind her. "I need you to leave my room. Now!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with emotion. But Andreas just smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement,

    Chapter 14The next morning, Mia and Andreas had a briefing with the photographer about the concept of their next shoot. Mia arrived, her game face firmly in place. But she was surprised to find Andreas was already there, sipping coffee and chatting with the crew. He flashed her a charming smile, but Mia's expression remained icy. "Good morning, Mia," he said, his voice dripping with charm. "I see you're as lovely as ever." Mia's eyes narrowed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Oh, good morning, Andreas. I see you're as punctual as ever." The crew tittered nervously, but Andreas just chuckled. "I see we're starting the day off on the right foot." Mia's eyes narrowed, her voice icy. "Let's just get this over with, shall we?" As they sat down, the assistant handed them the script and Mia's eyes scanned the revised script, her brow furrowing as she landed on the offending line. "This is ridiculous," she muttered, tossing the pages onto the conference table. Andreas, lounging in his

  • FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR    A Spark of Attraction

    Chapter 15Mia's point of view. After three days of continued shooting, we finally got a day off. In the previous days, Andreas had respected my decision and kept his distance from me. But I wondered why it still bothered me so much. Whenever the ladies would swarm around him, being at his beck and call I'd feel irritated. Even if I knew I had no right to be. Maybe it's because it has been long since I dated someone. It certainly wasn't because I was jealous. Right? But these past few days, Andreas showed impeccable professionalism, showing up to shoot location on time and leaving right after without teasing or passing any remarks my way. And If I'm honest, it bothered me. But maybe it's for the best. Like the day of our shoots with children models, Andreas showed such patience and understanding unlike I'd even see in any man. No wonder he was so sweet with Sofia. Today was finally our day off and I wondered what Andreas would be doing with his. I bet he'd be messing around

    Chapter 16Andreas's point of view. I stood at the window of my villa, gazing out at the endless expanse of turquoise water. My mind, however, was elsewhere - with Mia. As I paced around my villa, I wondered what she'd be doing right now. Just like she'd warned me some days back, I decided to give her some space. But I'm starting to think that was a bad idea. Also, I couldn't shake the feeling that I'd misjudged her, that there was more to her than met the eye. Her dedication to her daughter, Sofia, was admirable, and I found myself drawn to her strength and resilience. Though her estranged husband was a thorn in her flesh. I didn't think he'd be bothering her still. Guess I was wrong. During our shoots together, I noticed how she'd avoid contact with me even when we were clearly working together. Mia was a professional and she’d kept our relationship as such. She was friendly with everyone, including the crew members so, I was a little jealous that I was the only one she wasn't

    Chapter 17Mia's point of view. I'd been hiding in the comfort of my room, avoiding the world outside, and especially Andreas. The memory of our almost-kiss still lingered, making my skin prickle with unease. I can't believe I almost kissed him. Thankfully, the shoot had come to an end today and I wouldn't have to see him anymore. But for the dinner party organized to signify the end of the shoot tonight, which I was not going to attend.But Susan had other plans. She burst into my room, a determined glint in her eye, followed by a trail of crew members."Mia, what do you think you're doing?" she asked, her voice laced with exasperation. "Why are you still in those distasteful clothes?" Her eyes scanned my outfit, her nose wrinkling in distaste.I sighed, feeling a wave of guilt wash over me. I'd been unfair to Susan, especially after the Lucas issue. But she didn't seem to hold it against me, her determination to get me to the dinner party unwavering."Suzy, I've told you. I'm not

Who could have done this to her? My heart raced with the implications. As Mia rushed out of the hall, her pain and anguish evident. I quickly followed, my concern for her overwhelming. I pushed through the crowds, my eyes scanning the room for any sign of her. But she was already gone.The cool night air hit me like a slap in the face as I burst out of the hall, my eyes scanning the gardens for any sign of her.

    Chapter 19Mia's point of view. I returned to my room that night with a lot of mixed emotions. What was I thinking? Was it because of the drink I had on my way out of the hall. I'd gulped a few glasses of wine earlier. It had dulled my senses, making my thoughts hazy. I tried to push aside the guilt, but it only seemed to intensify as the night wore on. My heart had leapt in shock as I turned around, to find Andreas had followed me to the garden. The memories of Andreas's lips on mine still lingered, making my skin prickle with a mix of shame and desire. I shouldn't be doing this, I thought, not with him. He's so young, and I don't want to hurt him.Pushing aside my thoughts, I hurried to the bathroom ignoring the knocking sound on my door. I knew it was Susan trying to see if I was okay, but I didn't want to see anyone this night. Not now. As I stepped into the shower, I turned it on as I stepped in without taking off my clothes, I let the water wash down my pain and anxiety. The

    Chapter 20Mia's point of view.Despite my internal turmoil that threatened to overwhelm me, I still continued working unabated. The reviews for the foundation’s campaign that'd we'd done a week ago were in. It was mostly positive which made me so happy and fulfilled. The workload was something else but I was grateful for it.As I sorted through the bulky paperwork on my desk, I was grateful for the distraction. I hid behind my work to avoid letting my mind wander to Andreas, to worrying about if he was okay. The news about his injury had spread like wildfire. Being one of the most valuable players in the world, a lot of people were becoming anxious about his career. But up until now, there hasn't been an official statement on his wellbeing, which bothered me. Though I tried to pretend it didn't. I simply pushed those thoughts aside, using work as an escape. I was focused on my laptop, typing away as I sorted through paperwork work when my door suddenly slid open. I didn't bother
