FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 171: A Breathe of Peace
Chapter 171 Relief came. Slowly… like air returning to lungs that had forgotten how to breathe. For the first time in what felt like forever, Andreas and Mia could finally exhale. The nightmare was over. Or at least, that was what they told themselves. --- Justice moved swiftly. With the weight of evidence stacked heavily against Don Carlos and his men, they stood no chance. His empire which had been built on blood, manipulation, and fear, crumbled under the scrutiny of the law. The courtroom had been silent that day. With a tense and expectant atmosphere. Andreas sat upright beside his lawyer. He'd come alone to the hearing. Now that Mia was already showing, he didn't want her to go through any more trauma. His expression remained calm but his hands were clenched tightly in his lap. Every muscle in his body was coiled with restrained anticipation. Across the room, Don Carlos stood with his men. Still. Composed. But Andreas could tell he was struggling to keep the faca
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 170: A Fight of Their Lives
Chapter 170The loud crash tore through the house like a gunshot.Mia froze mid-step. For a fraction of a second, everything inside her went still, and then instinct took over.Something was wrong. She knew it. Terribly wrong.“Brian… Sophia…” she whispered, already moving.Then she ran.Her heartbeat thundered in her ears as she sprinted down the hallway, her bare feet slamming against the polished floor. The sound of shattering glass still echoed faintly, mixing with the muffled voices of strangers.She reached the children’s room and burst through the door, and stopped dead.Two men were there. Dressed in black. Armed.The broken window and the scattered shards of the glass revealed how they'd gotten in. One of the men had Sophia gripped tightly by the wrist. The other held Brian, his small shoulder pinned under a rough hand.“Mummy!” Sophia cried, her voice breaking as tears streamed down her face.Brian’s lower lip trembled, his eyes wide with terror.“Mum…” he whimpered.The si
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 169: The Night They Came
Chapter 169 “It's okay, baby. Just listen to Mummy, alright.” Mia’s voice was calm, but the tension in the air betrayed the storm raging inside her chest. She crouched in front of her daughter, her hands gently holding Sophia’s shoulders. The dim lights of the living room cast long shadows across the marble floor, and somewhere outside the house, the crunch of footsteps on gravel echoed like distant thunder. Sophia nodded, her wide eyes shimmering with fear. Mia forced a reassuring smile. “Take your brother, go to your room. Lock the door and don't come out until your dad or I come to you. Do you hear me?” “Yes, Mum,” Sophia replied, her voice small but obedient. “Come on. Go now.” Sophia quickly grabbed Brian’s hand. The little boy looked confused, clutching his toy tightly, but he followed her without protest. Their hurried footsteps faded up the staircase as they disappeared down the hallway. Only then did the silence grow heavier. Andreas stepped away from the front door
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 168: The Locket
Chapter 168"It’s gone!" Andreas shouted, frustration bubbling in his voice as Cross appeared in the doorway.Cross exhaled heavily. "They beat us to it."But then there was something else. His eyes widened in realization. If they'd gone through all of her belongings to get the locket, it only means they had more information than they needed. Especially about Brian. His family wasn't safe. Hurrying up on his feet, Andreas announced. “We have to leave. Now!” Detective Cross stood confused. “Is something wrong?” he asked. Andreas paced then. “Yes. Everything is wrong. Those guys just got more information about Brian. And my family probably. We have to get to them. Before they do.” Detective Cross nodded. Agreeing with him. “Alright. Let's go.” Before evening, they were back at the villa. The sun had dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the driveway.Andreas entered through the front door, breathless. Mia stood from the couch where she’d been folding some of Brian’
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 167: Too Late
Chapter 167 The morning sun filtered softly through the gauzy curtains, casting golden stripes across the hardwood floor of the villa. It should have been a peaceful morning, birds chirping in the distance, the scent of brewing coffee wafting from the kitchen, but a palpable tension hung like a taut wire. Mia stood by the window in the living room, one hand resting gently on her growing belly, the other gripping her coffee cup, which had gone cold from disuse. Her eyes were fixed on the gravel driveway where Andreas and Detective Cross stood by the car, double-checking their plan. She couldn’t shake the unease curling in her gut. Andreas walked in just then, fastening the buttons of his charcoal jacket, his eyes immediately finding hers. “We’re heading out now,” he said, his voice gentle but laced with urgency. “You're sure I can't come with you?” Mia asked, her voice firmer than even she expected. She turned to face him, her posture rigid. “I can’t just sit here and wait whi
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 166: Echoes of Danger
Chapter 166 Despite the enhanced security presence, the mood inside was anything but safe. Every creak, every rustle of wind against the windows made hearts pound. The morning after the unsettling delivery, the villa was cloaked in an eerie silence. Even the birds seemed to chirp more cautiously, as though they too sensed something sinister lingering in the air. Mia sat at the kitchen island, stirring a cup of tea she hadn’t taken a sip of. Her eyes, bloodshot and rimmed with dark circles, were fixed on the box now sealed inside an evidence bag, sitting on the granite counter. The mannequin head and the crude message had left their mark, not just as a threat, but as a sign. A sign that whoever was behind this wasn’t just watching. They were close. Andreas walked in, adjusting his wristwatch. His expression was tense, but he tried to keep his voice steady. "Cross said he’s bringing a forensic specialist today. They might find something. A fingerprint, a fiber, anything." Mia l
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 107: No Way Back
Chapter 107"There's no time to waste. Get her!" Tania had ordered him over the phone. Apparently, after Sofia had escaped, she'd called Tania, telling her she'd go to jail. That was a wrong move because Tania's sharp sense picked up on where she thinks Sofia might be. "She should be somewhere a

Chapter 112The barrel of the gun trembled slightly in Tania’s blood-smeared hand as she kept it trained on Luke. Her pupils dilated, her chest rising and falling like crashing waves. She was a woman on the edge, her skin taut with fury, her knuckles white from gripping the weapon too tightly. Acro

Chapter 98That night, the sky outside the airport was the color of cold steel, and the wind howled like it had lost something. Tania gripped the steering wheel of Andreas's black sports car so tightly her knuckles turned white. Her foot was still on the brake, the engine idling beneath her like a

Chapter 101The door creaked open with a tension-soaked slowness. Tania's pulse thundered in her ears. Her bloodied hand gripped the knife tightly, heart hammering, ready for anything, except this."What have you gotten yourself into this time?"Luke stood in the doorway, a brow arched, disdain and
