Chapter 151 - Shattered Glass

last update Last Updated: 2025-09-23 17:48:50

The fallout came faster than either of them expected. By morning, Luna’s collapse wasn’t just a trending topic, it was the story. Every entertainment network looped the footage of her on her knees outside the studio, hoodie slipping, tears cutting through her makeup like cracks in porcelain. Headlines screamed variations of the same theme: Fallen Star, Fragile Icon, Breakdown on the Sidewalk.

Brands that had once clamored to be tied to her image suddenly paused their sponsorships. Emails trickled into Adrian’s office like polite daggers: We’re temporarily suspending the campaign until this situation is clarified. Translation: they didn’t want her fragility on their billboards.

On social media, the divide was brutal. Fans defended her, called her brave, called her human, but trolls, the kind that lurked in shadows until blood was in the water, feasted.

Weak.

Drama queen.

She begged? Of course she did.

Guess the survivor narrative sells records, huh?

  • Breaking The Spotlight   Chapter 150 - The First Collapse

    The morning air outside the recording studio was deceptively calm, the kind of pale sunlight that softened steel and glass, making even the city seem harmless. Luna pulled her hoodie up, tightened the strings, and told herself she could make it to the waiting car in under thirty seconds if she kept her head down.She should’ve known better. The moment the studio doors opened, the world erupted.“Luna! Luna, over here!”“Did Adrian Cross leak your single to manipulate the narrative?”“Were you really abused, or is this just another PR stunt?”The shouts collided like crashing waves. Cameras flashed, microphones shoved forward like spears. Luna froze for half a heartbeat, long enough for the pack to close in.Questions slashed at her from every direction.“Is it true Daniel Vega paid for your early demos? Did you use him to get famous?”“Fans are calling you a survivor, what exactly did you survive, Luna?”Her chest constricted. The air grew thick, unbreathable. She pushed forward, but

    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

    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

    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
