Eva’s POV

“Mumma… are you okay? You didn’t eat anything even today. You barely even drink water… nowadays”

Eric’s voice reached me as though from a distant land, though he was right here, perched on my lap, his small hands caressing my face. His touch was warm, grounding, but I felt nothing.

I wasn’t crying anymore. The tears had dried, leaving behind a hollow numbness. I know crying doesn’t make me weak, but I was done crying. There was nothing left inside me to spill out.

I kept asking mysel

    Ryan’s POVIt had been weeks since that horrendous night. Damon hadn’t thrown me out immediately, but he made it clear I wasn’t welcome. He told me Eva wasn’t comfortable around me, that she didn’t want to see me, and, well, nobody wanted to see me, and Alex highlighted that I should give Eva time and space. But I knew — I had already lost my chance.I had wanted a fresh start.I truly did.Though I hate to admit the truth is, in the beginning, I only tried to revive my relationship with Eva to divert attention away from Chris. The controversy surrounding me and Chris — splashed across the media, whispered within my family — had created a storm I couldn’t control.But the more I got to know Chris, the sooner I realized the trap I had walked into. He was demanding, controlling, obsessive. When I couldn’t prioritize him over everything else, he turned Eva into the villain in his head. He wanted her gone, erased from my life completely.When he learned about Eric, and later Eva’s pregnan

  • Kiss Of A Fallen Star   CHAPTER: 21

    Eva’s POVThere was a knock on the door that startled me. I didn’t answer. The knock came again, louder this time. I knew immediately it wasn’t Alice or Josephine. My heart sank — I already suspected it was Jacob, probably with a staff member, trying to coax me into eating.I didn’t feel like eating. But I couldn’t keep refusing forever. If not for myself, then at least for Riva, I had to try.The door wasn’t locked. Whoever was outside must have realized it, because it opened slowly.It was Garcia.I was surprised, but also relieved — happy, even. I had barely spent a day with her, yet her warmth and care had melted something inside me. She reminded me of the housekeeper Shefali and I had when we first moved to New York, back in those fragile, hopeful university days.Garcia’s eyes were red, as if she had been crying, but she still managed to flash her radiant smile. She pushed in a food cart with a fruit platter and soup.“Hello, Garcia… you here?” I asked, my surprise evident, thou

    Eva’s POV“Mumma… are you okay? You didn’t eat anything even today. You barely even drink water… nowadays”Eric’s voice reached me as though from a distant land, though he was right here, perched on my lap, his small hands caressing my face. His touch was warm, grounding, but I felt nothing. I wasn’t crying anymore. The tears had dried, leaving behind a hollow numbness. I know crying doesn’t make me weak, but I was done crying. There was nothing left inside me to spill out.I kept asking myself — am I really that bad?Do I not deserve even a shred of normalcy?Maybe this is punishment. Maybe the universe is finally collecting the debts of my sins.I admit it — I’ve been thankless.When Shefali’s parents searched for her, I didn’t help. I didn’t put in any effort to find her. I didn’t visit Aunty Nat when Uncle Dav passed away, nor when she herself passed. I didn’t stand by Shefali when she needed me most. I only thought of myself. And now, perhaps, this is the price.Ever since the d

  • Kiss Of A Fallen Star   CHAPTER: 19

    Ryan’s POV:“Bro, you fucked up big time… and it’s irreversible.” Alex’s voice was heavy with disappointment, each word cutting into me like a blade.I sat there, trapped in the room, my head pounding, my chest tight. My phone was nowhere to be found, and outside, I could hear my mother tormenting Eva — because of me. The thought of facing Eva, of facing anyone, made my stomach twist. I didn’t even understand what had happened. Alex kept repeating that I had fucked up, that I had fucked Chris. What the hell did he mean? Did I literally…?“Alex, tell me. Or at least give me my phone,” I demanded, my voice cracking between desperation and rage.Alex sighed, long and weary, as though the weight of my sins had exhausted him too. He sat down, leaned forward, and spoke slowly, deliberately, like he was piecing together shards of a nightmare.“I don’t know every detail — I wasn’t there. I was stuck somewhere else, and only came when I heard the commotion. But from what I’ve gathered… let

  • Kiss Of A Fallen Star   CHAPTER: 18

    Ryan’s POVMy head was splitting open, every limb aching as though I had been run over by a truck. Opening my eyes felt like twenty thousand volts of light blasting into me after being locked in a pitch‑dark room for months. The pain was unbearable, but worse was the confusion.At first, everything was hazy. Voices blurred together, but then I caught one — my mother’s shrill shouting. My stomach twisted. Was she yelling at Eva? Damn it. I had just begun to win Eva’s heart back, to rebuild what I had destroyed. I couldn’t let my mother ruin it all again.At first, all of this had been for show — for survival, for appearances. But now… now Eva was different. This new Eva pulled me toward her like a magnet. She fascinated me, terrified me, made me want to be better. And I couldn’t lose her or my kids. Not again.My mother’s shouting continued, my father’s voice trying to calm her, but it was Alex’s mumble that cut through the noise. He was close.“Close the door… the noise…” I whisper

  • Kiss Of A Fallen Star   CHAPTER: 17

    Eva’s POVThe moment I stepped through the side entrance — the one reserved for family during celebrations at Knight Mansion — I knew Damon had lied to me. He had promised a small gathering, something intimate, something manageable. But the sight before me told a different story. The hustle and bustle, the sheer number of people, the heightened security — it didn’t look like a family event. It looked like an extravagant party, carefully orchestrated, and I couldn’t shake the suspicion that this was Damon’s planning… or perhaps Damon and Ryan’s combined scheme. But why? I had no idea.Still, with my children present, and so many eyes around us, I couldn’t afford to create a scene. So I stood quietly, speaking with Jacob, grateful for his familiar presence. When Jacob left to return to his duties, I was left alone — well, not entirely. My little man, Eric, who had been standing beside Ryan and trying to play with Riva, immediately rushed toward me. His eyes pleaded as he asked me to

    Eva's Pov:Honestly, “it broke my heart” was an understatement.I had just delivered a baby — His baby — was it wrong of me to expect my husband to be beside me?It had been almost half an hour since the nurse last checked on me, yet there was still no sign of Ryan.Tears slipped down my cheeks bef

    Eva's Pov:I sat quietly, watching Ryan and Caroline argue, their voices rising and falling like waves crashing against each other. To anyone else, it might have looked like a mother and son locked in a heated disagreement. But to me, it was something far more dangerous.A deep part of me whispered

    Eva's Pov:It was almost laughable — watching them all make decisions for my daughter. Yes, Ryan may be her father, but he had barely been present throughout my pregnancy. His projects, his production company, his endless pursuits kept him away. I tried not to blame him; after all, he was the bread

    Eva's Pov:And just like that, the room fell silent again — cold, sterile, heavy with the weight of everything unsaid. I could feel it in my gut, a warning that something bad was about to unfold. But exhaustion pressed down on me, and I had no strength left to dwell on it. I let my eyes close, hopi
