FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 10: The Unwanted Endorsement
Chapter 10 Three weeks had passed since Mia's electrifying performance, and her name was still on everyone's lips. She had catapulted to the top ten most talked-about celebrities, and for once, it was for all the right reasons. But amidst the chaos of her newfound fame, Mia's mind kept drifting back to Andreas. She had thought that maybe, just maybe, he had felt the same spark that she had. But as the days turned into weeks, and she heard nothing from him, Mia realized that she had been foolish to think that he had been interested in her. She'd immersed herself into her work to keep him from popping in and out of her thoughts but it was futile. “You're just stressed, Mia. It's nothing”. She muttered to herself as she sat in her office, staring blankly at her laptop screen, Mia couldn't shake off the feeling of disappointment that had settled in the pit of her stomach. As she scrolled through her laptop, she couldn't help herself as she typed up Andreas name. She later decid

Chapter 11 Andreas's career had never been better. His club had just renewed his contract, and he had accepted the offer, thanks to the unwavering faith Coach Hernandez had in him. The thrill of the game still pulsed through his veins, and the rush of adrenaline was addicting. Ever since their last win in previous match against the Golden Warriors, his team had gone on to win two other games. All which he scored at least one goal in each game. But despite his success, something was missing. Ever since his encounter with Mia, his childhood superstar crush, he hadn't been able to shake her off his mind. His encounter with Mia had awaken a feeling inside him which he didn't think was possible ever since his last failed attempt at love. At first he thought it was just his childhood fantasies returning but the feelings lingered so much so that he'd dreamt of her a couple of times. That night after their match, he was talking to Mia and was finally going to get a chance to con

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 n

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 amusem

Chapter 14 The 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

Chapter 15 Mia'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

Chapter 16 Andreas'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 w

Chapter 17 Mia'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

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
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 61: Where Loyalty Lies
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
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 59: Lyrics of Us
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
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 54: Between Two Worlds
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
