The night of the performance arrived like a storm wrapped in silk, electric, volatile and virtually impossible to ignore. The venue was sold out, every ticket snapped up the moment her name had been announced, as though the world itself had been waiting to see if Luna Reyes would rise or combust in front of their eyes.

The air outside the theater buzzed with anticipation, paparazzi crowding the barricades, their lenses hungry for a stumble, a crack, a flaw, anything she would let drop.

The headlines had already prewritten her downfall: Reyes on the Verge: Will She Survive the Spotlight Tonight?

The industry whispered that this performance would either make her or bury her.

Inside the penthouse, Luna stood in front of a mirror, her reflection staring back with unnerving clarity. No glittering gown, no elaborate styling, just a pair of black jeans, a silk camisole, and a leather jacket Adrian had left draped over her chair earlier that morning.

She was stripped down and raw. Exactly h

    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

  • Breaking The Spotlight   Chapter 142 - The Enemies Next Move

    The ovation still lingered in her bones. Luna had walked offstage the night before with her body trembling, not from nerves, but from release, the kind that came when a person poured every wound, every scar, every rebirth into a song that belonged to no one but them.The press was already calling it The Phoenix Performance. Clips had gone viral before she even left the theater. Raw, stripped down, unpolished in a way that cut deeper than any glossy single ever could. She hadn’t hidden behind the industry’s lights or the weight of production. She had simply stood there, with Adrian at her side, and dared the world to see her.And the world had bowed, but enemies didn’t bow, they recalculated.Luna sat curled on the sofa in Adrian’s penthouse the next morning, still wrapped in the adrenaline haze, scrolling through endless reactions.

    The city outside the penthouse was a blur of lights, speeding cars, and distant sirens, but inside, the world had contracted to a single pulse—the rhythm of Luna’s breathing. She stood at the edge of the balcony, shoulders tense, phone clutched in her hand, the latest barrage of notifications flashing endlessly across the screen. Every headline screamed the same narrative: her life dissected, her every move public property, her every thought open to interpretation.Luna Reyes: The Star Breaking Under Pressure?

    The morning sun hadn’t yet fully claimed Manhattan when Luna’s phone began to vibrate with an insistence that felt almost urgent. She glanced down at the screen, the name of a journalist flashing repeatedly, followed by a stream of notifications, messages, and social media alerts. Her stomach sank, and for a brief moment, a flicker of the old fear, the one Adrian had been dismantling piece by piece, threatened to surge, but this time, she didn’t shrink. She didn’t hide. She had walls now, a fortress, and a strategist who refused to let her be a pawn. She took a steadying breath, letting the anticipation rise and fall like a controlled tide, and swiped open the first message.Headlines.
