FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

Chapter 102 “Sofia? Sofia… oh my God!” Mia screamed into the phone as she stepped hard on the car accelerator. Tears already steaming down her eyes she wondered what was happening to Sofia. Terrified of what the answer might be she said a soft prayer. The car roared beneath her, tires screeching against the asphalt as Mia Martinez hurtled down the road, her hands trembling against the steering wheel. Her chest rose and fell with rapid, shallow breaths, and her heart slammed against her ribs like it was trying to claw its way out. “Please be safe, Sofia. I'm coming, baby,” she whispered, voice cracking as tears streamed down her cheeks. The dashboard lit up with an incoming call. She was going to ignore it until she saw his name. It was Andreas. She didn’t hesitate anymore. With a shaky hand, she pressed the answer button. “Andreas, something is wrong!” she cried. “I think Sofia's in danger.” There was a pause on the other end before Andreas responded, his voice low and stea

Chapter 104The world had turned into a battlefield, and Mia Martinez was at the center of the storm.News of her arrest spread like wildfire across every screen, hashtag, and airwave. Her face plastered on every blog and breaking news bulletin, the headlines screamed accusations she hadn’t even fully come to terms with herself."Superstar Mia Martinez Arrested for Murder of Ex-Husband!""From Chart-topper to Convict? Fans Divided Over Mia's Shocking Fall."Every click stoked the flames. People online weren’t just reacting, they were dissecting, speculating, and convicting. Some called her a cold-blooded killer. Others called her a woman pushed too far. But none of them really knew.In the shadows of the media inferno, those closest to Mia scrambled to hold everything in place.Susan was already in high gear. Her phone never stopped ringing, her inbox overflowing with both support and hate. She fielded interview requests and fought back against smear campaigns, but the tides of public

Chapter 106The iron chair crashed to the floor with a sharp clatter as Mia lurched to her feet, eyes wide in disbelief. Her breath caught in her throat, heart hammering like a drum in her chest.“Lucas?” she whispered, voice raw with fear. “H...how are you alive? What are you doing here?”Lucas stood across the cold interrogation room, his figure washed in flickering fluorescent light. He didn’t speak at first. Just slowly stepped forward, holding photographs in his hands—pictures of Sofia. His face was pale, his eyes glassy and red-rimmed, filled with something unreadable. Desperation? Regret?He moved his lips, but Mia couldn’t hear the words. It was like the world around her had gone on mute. Panic bloomed inside her. It bothered her and confused her at the same time. “Lucas, what are you saying? I can’t hear you,” she cried, backing up as his steps quickened.The more Mia asked the questions, the more Lucas walked forward with the pictures of Sofia in his hands.Lucas thrust the

Chapter 105 The Sun spilled over the windshield in bright golden hues, glistening sheets as Luke gripped the steering wheel with tense fingers. The other motorist made it hard for him to smoothly navigate the lanes but his eyes remained fixed on the rearview mirror. The dark sedan behind him hadn't changed lanes for a few miles. Every turn he took, it followed. Every speed change was mimicked. "Shit," he muttered under his breath, sparing a glance at Sofia curled up in the backseat, her knees hugged to her chest, her face stained with silent tears. She was watching him now, alert, she sensed something was off. Luke took a sharp left onto a side road, then a right, weaving through traffic like a needle through thread. The sedan stayed close, but not too close, and whoever was behind the wheel knew what they were doing. His pulse quickened. He knew he couldn’t afford to lead them to the drop site. It would implicate both he and Tania. Luke scanned ahead and spotted a multi-level par

Chapter 109Rain streaked the windshield of the black SUV as it moved steadily through the quiet city streets. Thunder rumbled in the distance, but it was the storm raging inside Mia that threatened to split her apart. Her hands gripped the steering wheel with such force her knuckles turned pale, but still she didn’t slow. Time was her enemy. Sofia was out there. Alone. Maybe afraid. And Mia was nearing the edge of unraveling.They had split up hours ago. Andreas had taken one route; she had taken another. It was their best chance at covering more ground. Every possible location. Every contact. Every alleyway. Susan rode beside her, fingers tapping furiously on her phone, refreshing tracker maps and sending out queries to the handful of investigators they’d hired in desperation. Mia's mother, Mrs. Angela, sat silently in the backseat, her rosary wound tightly around her fingers, whispering prayers with fervent urgency.Mia had barely slept. She'd barely eaten. There was only Sofia now
