They moved into the beach house on a Tuesday morning when the fog hadn’t yet burned off the Pacific. The movers came at dawn, all soft footsteps and cardboard boxes stacked like towers in the glass-walled living room. By ten, it was just them: Celeste barefoot on the polished concrete floors, Damien in rolled-up sleeves, sleeves dusted with salt air and sunlight.

The house perched above the surf, built into the cliff the way Celeste sometimes imagined she’d been built into Damien, raw edges, solid foundations, waves pounding at the walls but never pulling it loose. Floor-to-ceiling windows. Pale wood and steel beams that felt both modern and timeless. A promise of permanence in an industry where everything else slipped like sand through fingers.

It was Damien’s vision, his gift to her, though he’d never called it that. He’d bought the lot while she was halfway across the world shooting Afterlight, long before the Veronica scandal detonated her life, long before they’d found their way

  • Breaking The Spotlight   Chapter 149 - Fault Lines

    The headlines hadn’t stopped since the leak. Luna’s single wasbraw, stripped, bleeding with truth and it had detonated like a bomb in the industry. The world couldn’t look away. Fans, journalists, even people who had never cared about her before were dissecting every lyric, every crack in her voice, every scream that bled into the recording. It was survival dressed as music, and it hit harder than anything she had ever done before.But success had its own price.Luna stood in their penthouse kitchen, staring at her phone where another alert lit up. Breaking: Reyes’ single dominates global charts, Day 5 at #1. Her chest should’ve swelled with pride, with relief. Instead, her throat tightened. She didn’t feel free. She felt trapped.“You’re not eating,” Adrian’s voice cut through from behind her.She flinched before she could stop herself. “I will. Later.”His eyes narrowed. He’d already loosened his tie, rolled his shirtsleeves back to the elbows, but he still radiated command like a m

  • Breaking The Spotlight   Chapter 148 - Stripped Bare

    The sun hadn’t even broken the horizon when Luna’s phone started buzzing. At first, she ignored it. The night had left her drained, body aching, throat raw, the memory of Adrian’s touch lingering in every nerve. She wanted nothing more than to curl deeper into the sheets, into the warmth of his body sprawled beside her, and pretend the world didn’t exist, but the buzzing didn’t stop. It grew louder, longer, until finally she reached for the phone on the nightstand, squinting at the flood of notifications. Mentions. Shares. Headlines. Trending hashtags stacked one after the other.Her chest tightened. The title of the thread at the top nearly made her drop the device.LUNA REYES STRIPS BARE IN NEW SONG — FANS IN TEARSShe sat bolt upright, heart hammering. Her thumb trembled as she clicked one of the links, and the studio demo, the one she had recorded hours ago, the one raw and unfinished, the one she had poured her soul into, poured through the tiny speaker.The unpolished, raw, unpr

  • Breaking The Spotlight   Chapter 147 - The Song Of Survival

    The studio lights were low, the kind of warm glow that seemed to melt into the walls, soft enough to blur the sharp edges of memory. Midnight wrapped itself around the city outside, but inside, the air was thick with silence, the kind that presses against your chest before something monumental happens.Luna stood in the vocal booth barefoot, headphones cupping her ears, eyes closed. Her hands trembled at her sides, but her voice, when it came, was steady, not polished, not rehearsed, but naturally raw.This wasn’t the pop princess the world remembered. This wasn’t the carefully packaged Luna Reyes who smiled on red carpets and sang songs written by executives who thought they knew what people wanted, this was her marrow, her pain and her defiance.Adrian sat in the control room, alone except for the engineer who had been sworn to silence and signed half a dozen NDAs before stepping foot inside. His gaze didn’t leave her. Every flicker of her mouth, every shift in her shoulders, every

  • Breaking The Spotlight   Chapter 146 - Crossfire Strategy

    The penthouse was still heavy with the echoes of what they’d shared hours ago. The sheets smelled like sex and sweat and of a promise carved into skin, but mornings never allowed luxury for long. By the time sunlight fractured across the glass walls, the war outside had already sharpened its teeth.Adrian was awake before her, as always. Luna stirred to the low cadence of his voice, sharp and clipped, carrying the weight of empires. He stood at the end of the bed in nothing but dark slacks, his body taut, the phone glued to his ear as if the world would crumble if he let go.“Kill the piece before it circulates again. No, I don’t care if Vega’s lawyers threatened a lawsuit, file three in return. Find out who fed him those contracts, and if anyone else so much as whispers his narrative, blacklist them. Permanently.”He ended the call with a snap, his jaw a cut of granite, eyes burning like the city skyline behind him.“Morning,” Luna croaked, her voice raw.His head turned. In an insta

  • Breaking The Spotlight   Chapter 145 - When The Music Stops

    The rehearsal room, in their home, was silent except for the low hum of the air conditioning and the faint echo of instruments warming up. Luna stood at the center of the stage, microphone in hand, but her voice wouldn’t come. Her throat felt clogged with something heavier than nerves, something darker. She opened her mouth, inhaled, and nothing, not a note, not a breath, just a hollow ache that had been building all day and hadn’t let her go.She sank onto the edge of the stage, legs dangling, shoulders trembling. The lights above her felt like a spotlight on her failure. Every headline, every smear, every whisper from Daniel’s venomous words pressed down on her chest. She had faced press attacks before, industry betrayal, public scrutiny, but this… this was something new. Her body refused to cooperate. Her voice refused to obey.Adrian arrived without warning, moving across the rehearsal space silently until he was at her side. His hand brushed her shoulder, firm and grounding.“Lun

  • Breaking The Spotlight   Chapter 144 - A New Empire Rises

    The attack came on a Tuesday morning. Luna had barely rolled out of bed when her phone buzzed itself into a fit of hysteria. Hundreds of notifications stacked like dominos, spilling across the screen, mentions, tags, messages. She didn’t have to click to know. She could feel the storm brewing before she even opened a single post.Adrian was already standing at the floor-to-ceiling windows of their penthouse, his shirt sleeves rolled, jaw locked tight, his phone pressed to his ear. His entire body was a wall of cold, controlled fury, the kind that promised disaster for anyone stupid enough to provoke him.“Pull the article. Now. No, I don’t give a damn about your advertisers. If you run with Daniel Vega’s statement again, you’ll regret it. Don’t test me.”He ended the call without a goodbye, his phone clattering onto the marble counter as his hands raked through his hair.“Luna.” His voice softened when he turned toward her. That was how she knew it was bad, Adrian only lowered his gua
