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 119: Ultimate Face-off
Chapter 119The moment Andreas stepped into the building, the smell of mildew and old rot hit him hard. The crumbling walls, the dim light barely seeping through broken windowpanes, and the eerie silence painted a haunting picture of neglect. But none of that mattered. Not when he believed Mia and Sofia were in here, somewhere, possibly barely holding on. Not when the weight of two million dollars now sat behind him in a duffel bag, exchanged for the only people in the world he couldn't bear to lose.Tania was already waiting for him, arms crossed, eyes sharp and cold. Her lips curled into an almost playful smirk as he entered."Welcome home, darling," she purred. Her smile was wide. And mad.He didn't respond to her greeting. If he could call it that. Instead, he asked. "Where are they?" Andreas demanded, his voice slicing through the stillness like a blade.But Tania cocked her head slightly, brushing the question off like it was an annoying gnat. "Where's the money I asked for?"Wi
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 118: A Mother's Unraveling
Chapter 118 Tania stood frozen in the dim hallway, her eyes wide with shock and betrayal. Brian’s piercing scream still echoed off the peeling walls. He was standing just beyond the doorway she had wanted him not to open, his trembling frame hunched protectively over Mia and Sofia. Brian turned slowly, his face pale with shock. "Mummy... you lied." The two women were lying against the cracked plaster wall, bruised and weak, their eyes barely able to focus. The air smelled of mold and damp decay, thick with the scent of something cruel and rotten. Her entire body tensed. “Brian!” Tania's voice thundered through the house, "What are you doing out of your room, Brian?! I told you to stay put!" Brian didn't back down. Though his voice wavered, there was steel in his words. "Why are Mia and Sofia here, Mum? Why are they like this?! This isn't right! Did you kidnap them?" She approached with a thunderous gait, but her words stumbled. She had no answer that would make sense to an in
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 117: The Truth in Innocence
Chapter 117As Andreas zipped the brown duffel bag shut with the final bundle of cash, his phone buzzed violently on the edge of the desk. He didn’t need to check who it was. Unknown number. The timing was too perfect. He grabbed the device and answered it in one smooth motion, his voice hard, impatient."I have the money," he barked, not waiting for a greeting.On the other end, Tania chuckled, her voice dripping with mock sweetness. Her excitement is evident. But she tried her best to mask it. "Ooh, eager little puppy, aren't we?"Andreas didn’t respond to her provocation. His pulse thundered in his ears."I’ll send you the address," she said, snapping back into her businesslike tone. "Follow it. Come alone. Remember, no police. You know the rules. Don't mess with me."The line went dead.Almost immediately, his phone pinged again. A message popped up. It was an address. A location buried deep on the outskirts of
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 116: By Her Rules
Chapter 116The phone call ended with a cruel finality that left Andreas staring blankly at the now-silent screen. Tania's cackling voice still echoed in his ears, the venom behind her words lodging deep in his chest like a knife. He didn’t need to imagine the smirk that must have curled on her lips as she made her threats. He knew it. He’d seen it too many times. But this time, she had crossed a line he couldn’t let stand.His fingers moved on instinct, dialing the hospital. The line connected almost instantly. “This is Andreas Leonardo. Do not let Tania take Brian. I repeat, do not let her take my son.”There was a pause, then a stunned, urgent reply. “Sir?”“She’s coming. She might already be there. Stop her. At all costs.”---Back at the hospital, the nurse had already called to inform the attending doctor about Tania’s sudden arrival and her insistence that Brian was to be discharged today. The doctor, reviewing Brian’s cha
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 115: Mother Knows Worst
Chapter 115Tania’s heels clicked softly against the smooth pavement as she stood in front of the pristine white hospital building, bathed in golden afternoon light. The air was thick with humidity, but she didn’t feel it. Her eyes were focused, dark, and gleaming with menace beneath long lashes. She had just ended the call with Andreas, her voice still lingering with venom in her own ears. She could still hear herself say it, like an echo from a much colder version of her soul: “One million dollars. For each of them.”She hung up with a wicked smirk curling her lips.Everything was coming together, finally. The plan. The money. Her long-awaited revenge.She exhaled slowly, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, then turned her attention to the hospital doors. She softened her expression instantly, letting a sugary smile bloom on her face like a polished performance mask.Her heels clicked louder now as she stepped through the glass doors into the sterile, chilled lobby of the
FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR 114: Echoes of a Madwoman
Chapter 114Andreas's office was a war zone of its own. Papers lay scattered like fallen soldiers on the mahogany floor, chairs pushed out of place, and tension gripped the air like a storm cloud refusing to break. The massive TV screen mounted on the far wall played the news on a loop. Every station carried it—the horrifying footage of Mia and Sofia being dragged by a towering brute and a woman in a hooded coat who looked disturbingly familiar. The video paused on Sofia's terrified face, and Andreas nearly hurled his phone across the room.His jaw clenched as he barked into his headset, pacing the length of the room like a man on the brink."How hard is it to find a woman and a teenager? Huh! I don’t care how much it costs. Double your men. Triple them! Just get me a location!"Across the room, half a dozen private investigators sat like scolded schoolboys, unable to meet his eyes.Andreas ran a trembling hand through his hair. He’d just finished his third emergency briefing with all
