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.

Chapter 2Andreas 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.

FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR Temptation by the Sea
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
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
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR Beyond the Facade
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 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,
