All Chapters of FALLING FOR THE FORBIDDEN STAR : Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Chapter 111From the second-floor window, Tania stood with her jaw clenched and arms folded, her eyes darting in every direction like a predator sniffing out Luke's betrayal. She hadn't blinked since the call came in. Her nostrils flared. "Find him," she ordered, turning from the window. "I don’t care how. Just don’t let that bastard get away."The two men she had hired moved with practiced aggression. One took off through the front, the other rounded the back, guns tucked inside their waistbands and eyes sharp. Tania's voice lingered in their minds: "I promise I’ll make him pay."Meanwhile, Luke was already running.The adrenaline pounding in his ears nearly drowned the crunch of his boots hitting gravel. His breath came out in harsh, erratic bursts as he sprinted through the back alley of the compound. He stole a glance behind him and cursed. One of the men was hot on his heels.He increased his pace then. He didn’t stop.Sweat drenched the back of his shirt as he reached the chain-

Chapter 113 Gunfire cracked through the empty house like firecrackers gone rogue. Sirens wailed in the distance, growing louder, closer, and urgent. Tania’s pulse pounded as she grabbed Mia by the arm and yanked her to her feet, her voice shrill. “Move it!” Mia’s breath caught in her throat, but she didn’t resist. Not with Sofia still in danger. The brute, Dante, hauled Sofia like a ragdoll, one thick arm wrapped around the girl's shoulders as he shoved her through the side door of the old building. Her cry pierced the air. “Mummy!” “I’m here!” Mia shouted, her voice breaking. “I’m not leaving you!” The four burst out into the open field in the back of the house just as flashlight beams cut across the walls behind them. The sharp pop of another bullet ricocheted off the hood of a rusted-out car nearby. Dante cursed and threw himself into the driver’s seat of the black SUV. “Get in the damn car!” he barked. Mia and Sofia were forced into the backseat. Tania slid in beside Dant

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

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

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
