Emily’s wrists ached beneath the zip ties as the blindfold bit into her skin, the rough fabric smelling faintly of dust and leather. Every bump of the car sent a jolt through her body. She kept her breathing steady, forcing herself to memorize the turns, the stops, the slight tilts that told her they were climbing or descending.

But the men…

They were statues.

No shifting, no muttering. Even their breathing seemed swallowed by the darkness. She could almost hear her own heartbeat louder than an

  • My Darling Superstar   Bleeding Heart

    The basement air was thick with tension, heavy and suffocating. Emily’s heart pounded violently in her chest as the two men inched forward, ready to strike. Her body tensed, every instinct screaming to flee but there was nowhere to run.“Warren is coming back,” Emily said quickly, desperation sharpening her voice. “How are you guys going to explain if he sees me wounded, Nancy? And I will tell him it’s all because of you.” Her eyes flicked to Nancy’s, searching for any hesitation.For the first time, Emily saw it. Nancy’s perfectly controlled expression wavered. Her lips tightened. Her hands stilled for a brief moment on the armrests of her chair. Her brow furrowed slightly, a flicker of uncertainty flashing in her cold eyes. Emily smirked just enough to notice it.“Look, Nancy,” Emily continued, her tone steady, calculating. “If you can sway the Old Man, Warren would be different. My word against yours, who do you think he will listen to?” Emily’s mind raced. She knew this leverage.

  • My Darling Superstar   The Spot She Needs To Remove

    The convoy passed through the massive iron gates of the mansion.The cars rolled slowly along the long driveway, their headlights cutting across the quiet gardens and towering marble pillars.Emily did not lift her head.Her eyes were swollen from crying. Her body felt numb. The words of the old man still echoed in her mind like chains tightening around her chest.The car finally stopped.One of the men beside her opened the door.“Out.”Emily did not resist.She stepped out slowly.Cold night air brushed against her face, but she barely noticed it.The two men immediately grabbed her arms and began dragging her toward the mansion.The grand doors opened.Bright lights flooded the entrance hall. No one was there. The mansion was emptied intentionally.She was dragged deeper into the mansion.Past the marble staircase.Past the long corridors she once walked through every day.But something felt wrong.They were not going upstairs.They were not taking her to her room.Instead, they tu

  • My Darling Superstar   A Cage She Could Not Break

    The car fell silent again.Old Master Frederick did not speak.But Emily knew he was listening.She could almost feel his attention sharpen.He was thinking.Calculating.Emily gave a quiet, bitter laugh.“Don’t you want to know who helped me escape from prison?” she asked.Her voice carried a trace of mockery.The old man finally turned his head slightly.Not fully.Just enough to show he was interested.Emily leaned her head back against the seat and let out a dry laugh.“Huh.”Then she looked straight at him.“Do not play with me, little girl,” he said coldly.“The last person who tried to trick me is nowhere to be found now.”His voice lowered.“The person capable of deceiving me has not been born yet.”Emily shook her head slowly.“I don’t dare trick you.”She wiped her tears again, though they kept falling.“I wasn’t the one who fooled you.”Her eyes sharpened.“It was Nancy.”The name hung inside the car like a sudden crack of thunder.“Nancy Davis,” Emily said clearly.“She wa

  • My Darling Superstar   Barely Breathing

    BANG!!!The car jerked violently.Something slammed hard into their side.Emily screamed as the impact shoved their car across the road. The tires screeched against the asphalt as Justin fought to control the wheel.“Hold on!”Another shove.Metal groaned.For a second Emily thought the car would flip.Then suddenly another vehicle surged forward from behind Justin’s car.It swerved sharply and blocked the attacking car, forcing it away.Justin managed to steer their car toward the shoulder.The engine coughed.Then everything stopped.Thick smoke poured from the front of the car, curling into the cold night air.Emily’s ears rang from the crash.“Justin… are you okay?” she asked quickly, turning toward him.This was the thing she hated the most.Dragging someone else into her trouble.Justin pushed the door open, wincing slightly.“I’m… I’m fine,” he said.Emily stepped out of the car as well, the smell of burning rubber filling the air.Through the smoke, several black vehicles slow

  • My Darling Superstar   Running Away

    The man continued in a colder tone.“Don’t worry. As planned, we’ll divert the flight to the Sub, where all our men are waiting to execute it.”A brief pause followed.“I understand it’s too risky to do it here. The Adams would find out sooner or later, and the crime would be pinned on you.”Emily’s blood ran cold. Her fingers slowly tightened at her side.Then the man spoke again, his voice low and careful, as if making sure every detail was clear.“Don’t worry. Our people already erased the footage of you going to the station. The paid officer will take the blame for her escape. Everything is settled.”Another pause.Then he added quietly,“Don’t worry, boss. We’ll do our job clean.”Emily’s breath caught in her throat.Her body went completely still.She did not move.She could not.She did not even dare breathe loudly.For several seconds she stood there, hidden behind the thin curtain separating the aisle from the cockpit.Her heart pounded so violently she was afraid the man wou

  • My Darling Superstar   Nancy's Plan

    Emily turned away from the glass.She did not pause.She did not look back.If she did, she knew she would not have the strength to leave.Her footsteps were quiet against the polished hospital floor as she walked past Nancy.Nancy was standing a few steps away, arms folded, her lips curved in a slow, satisfied smile. The expression of someone who had already won.Emily did not acknowledge it.She simply kept walking.But inside, her chest felt like it was being torn apart.It was not only Charles.It was everything.Her future.Her graduation.Her friend Lizzy.Her cat that always waited for her by the door.Justin.The one person who had was the man version of her.The decision had come too suddenly. Too abrupt. She had been thinking of ways to escape the prison cell, ways to clear her name, ways to survive.But she had never imagined Nancy would appear.Never imagined her offer. Her signature for her freedom.Emily tightened her grip on the folder in her hands.The divorce papers f

  • My Darling Superstar   Alive Again

    Emily stood barefoot beside the car, the warm sand curling between her toes. The salty breeze tousled her hair as she looked out at the endless blue, her eyes wide with wonder. She inhaled deeply, the scent of the ocean wrapping around her like a memory.Then she turned to Charles.He stood there,

  • My Darling Superstar   Perfect Match

    The drive back to the Adam estate was quiet, but not the kind of silence that weighed. It was the kind that lingered after laughter, after kisses, after something real had been shared. Emily leaned her head against the window, her fingers still tingling from where they’d laced with Charles’s in the

    Charles sat alone in his room, the lights dimmed low, the silence pressing in like a second skin. The door was locked. The world outside—Nancy was sleeping in the guest room.In his hand was a glass of whiskey, half-melted ice clinking softly as he swirled it. He hadn’t touched it in minutes.His m

  • My Darling Superstar   Note And Confession

    Emily sat on the edge of her bed, the photo still burned into her mind. The intimacy of it. The precision. The timing. Someone had been close—too close. And they hadn’t just stumbled upon her and Charles. They had waited. Watched. Captured.But who?Her thoughts spiraled.Could it be someone from W
