Emily slapped him. Fury, fear, and shock were in her eyes.

The sound cracked through the silence, sharp and final.

Her hand trembled. She wished it didn’t, but she had to do it before she lost control. Before she would forget everything. Before, they could do something they would regret later.

‘No! This can’t happen!’ Her mind was shouting, forcefully awakened.

She then shoved Charles hard, breath catching in her throat. But Charles, unfazed by the sting of her slap, reached for her again. His

  • My Darling Superstar   Game of Push and Pull

    The next morning…Emily arrived late to the breakfast area, her steps slow, her body heavier than usual—as if the ache from last night had followed her into the daylight. The warm scent of coffee and freshly baked bread did little to settle her nausea. Her eyes were swollen, her face pale, and despite her attempt at a polite smile, the fatigue was carved into her expression like a bruise.Justin was already seated at the long table with a few others. The moment he saw her, he tilted his head with concern.“Whoa, Em…” he said softly, standing as she approached. “You okay? You look like you barely slept.”Emily froze for half a second before forcing a short laugh. “What? No—I’m fine.” She waved a hand, brushing it off too quickly. “Just a headache. Must’ve been the wine.”Justin narrowed his eyes, unconvinced. “You didn’t drink that much.”“I guess it hit me harder than I thought,” she said, slipping into the seat beside him and keeping her gaze fixed on the empty plate in front of her.

  • My Darling Superstar   Night With Him

    Emily was taken aback.She couldn't process his words—not clearly, not quickly. Maybe she had misheard him. Maybe the wine had blurred her senses, wrapped her thoughts in fantasy and made her hallucinate a truth she so desperately longed for.But his eyes…They were still on her. Sharp. Intense. Unwavering. And that look alone made her breath falter, made her nerves tremble beneath the weight of her own heartbeat.She didn’t know what he meant exactly. Not yet.But she wanted to believe something impossible…That he wanted her to stay away from Justin… not for Warren's sake, but for his own.That Charles was jealous.Because he wanted her.Her lips trembled as she finally found her voice, fragile and uncertain. “What… what do you mean?” she asked, almost breathless, as if her body feared her question more than his answer.Maybe she was imagining things.Maybe the wine was playing tricks on her sanity.Charles didn’t speak.He simply stared—taking in every inch of her face beneath him.

  • My Darling Superstar   Heart's Betrayal

    Emily sat beside Justin in the candlelit dining hall, trying to steady the rhythm of her breath beneath the elegant hum of cutlery and soft violin. It was a VIP lounge designed for the most exclusive individuals. No paparazzi, no fans, and noise. Though the decor shimmered and the food was plated like art, a quiet ache had nestled in her chest—and no amount of ambiance could mask it.Justin caught her gaze with a reassuring smile, his elbows resting casually on the table.“My dad made the call this morning,” he said, voice low and deliberate. “Your academic documents were secured. No more stonewalling. You’ll graduate.”Relief spilled into Emily’s features. “Seriously? Justin… I don’t know how to thank you.”“That’s nothing. Having you is already a good thing.”She hesitated, then glanced away. “But why would he help me?”Justin exhaled and reached for his drink. “It’s complicated.”She turned toward him, worried. “What’s the consequence?”He paused, then flashed a crooked grin. “Let’

    A faint red mark, just at the curve of her neck. Charles’ mouth from last night—his kisses, his rough sucking, left something.Charles saw it. Unbothered.He stared, and he seemed to find it attractive.His throat moved as he swallowed hard. His hand clenched subtly on the newspaper. Nancy didn’t notice.Emily’s cheeks flamed.Gosh. Not now. Not here.“ I… I burned myself,” she blurted, too fast. “With the curling iron. Yesterday.” She forced a laugh, brittle and false. “I’m so careless.”Nobody pressed further. They seemed to accept his words, and no one doubted.Except Charles.He was still looking. Still burning through her with that unreadable stare.You did this, she thought. You put me here. And now you sit there without a care.She cursed his name silently. Over and over.Before someone could ask her again, she quickly raised a question to Justin to change the topic. “Why are you here?”Justin suddenly leaned close again, voice low with teasing ease.He grinned.“Because I miss

  • My Darling Superstar   Sudden Shift

    The morning sunlight spilled through the curtains, warm and golden, but it felt cold against Emily’s skin.She stirred slowly, her body still wrapped in the heat of memory—his arms around her, his lips brushing her forehead, the weight of his breath soft against her hair. But the space beside her was empty. The sheets, once tangled between them, now lay flat. Untouched.He was gone.Emily blinked, disoriented. Her hand instinctively reached out to the cool linen. No warmth. No trace.A hollow ache bloomed in her chest. Sharp. Deep. Immediate.Last night came back to her in waves—his warm hands, his breathless kiss, the way he held her like she was the only thing anchoring him. But he didn’t take her, didn’t cross the final line. He had kissed her, touched her, clung to her like a drowning man—but he’d stopped before either of them fell too far. She saw him gulp hard, forcing himself to stop and roll beside her.He had pulled her close and simply held her.They were hugging to sleep, j

His arms wrapped around her with a desperation that stole the air from the room. And then—he kissed her. Again.This time, it was different. Softer. Slower. A kiss soaked in longing and remorse, not fire. Its warmth gave her nerves an electric shock. She felt millions of tingling sensations coursing wildly through her body. She could feel his lips savoring hers, sending a message that she couldn't figure out, and with a sensation impossible to ignore. His lips were very soft, giving her all the reas
