Ryan’s POV

There was too much happening, and I was carrying far too many secrets — burying them so deep I sometimes wondered if they would suffocate me from within. I knew Damon was aware. He always was. He had a way of seeing through me, of waiting patiently for me to unravel and come to him for help. That’s what he did. That’s what he had always done.

Every time I screwed up, every time things spiraled out of control, Damon stepped in — even when I hadn’t asked. He cleaned up the mess, shield

  • Kiss Of A Fallen Star   CHAPTER: 11

    Ryan’s POVI had to escape the room after hearing Eva’s words. They cut deeper than any blade. I didn’t know how to answer her, how to make her believe otherwise. I had come early that morning with the intention of talking to her, but when I walked inside and saw her — stressed even in her sleep, a frown etched on her forehead, whimpering as she twisted and turned — I froze. Hearing her murmur, “Don’t take my kids…” pierced my heart.How much had she endured? How blind had I been? The truth was simple: I never cared enough.From the moment I entered the glamour industry and had my first break, my mother wanted me married to avoid all scandals, and wanted a son who could take Damon's place as the Williams family heir in the future. I did that. I thought my duty was done. When I learned I had a boy, I felt relieved, thinking now she couldn’t bother me anymore. But Eric wasn’t born out of love. He was an accident, a mistake born of a fling. And because of that, I never cared for Er

  • Kiss Of A Fallen Star   CHAPTER: 10

    Eva’s POVI didn’t realize how long I had slept. When I finally opened my eyes, it was already late afternoon. My body felt heavy, weak, as though the bed itself was holding me down. I remembered fragments — Eric climbing beside me, peppering my face with kisses, whispering words I couldn’t quite catch. Riva’s cries echoing faintly in the distance. But I had been too exhausted to move, too fragile to rise.What finally woke me was the aroma — herbs simmering and a soothing warmth drifting through the air. My lower stomach ached, itchy and tender, my back throbbed despite the comfort of the bed. My breasts felt swollen, heavy, but at least I had managed to pump enough milk last night and hand it to Alice. Riva was cared for. I didn’t have to wake for her.Slowly, I tried to sit. Every muscle protested, every stitch reminded me of the surgery. I wished Alice or Josephine — or even Garcia — would notice I was awake and come to help. But before I could call out, I felt someone supporting

  • Kiss Of A Fallen Star   CHAPTER: 09

    Eva’s POVCalling this place a house would be an insult — it was a mansion. Not as vast as the Williams residence in Beverly Hills or Ryan's family's estate in Atherton, but still breathtaking, still dreamy.A place that seemed plucked from someone else’s life, not mine. I had always longed for a home in a quiet neighborhood, somewhere peaceful, somewhere far from the suffocating walls of an apartment. And now, here it was — my dream fulfilled, though not by my own will.As soon as I entered, a man and woman in their late forties greeted us warmly. The woman had a wheelchair ready, insisting it wasn’t safe for me to walk after such a major surgery. She guided me gently into it, her care almost overwhelming. But it wasn’t her kindness that pierced me — it was Eric’s joy.My son’s happiness lit up the room, brighter than any chandelier. It was rare to see him act like a child, rare to see him jump around in wonder, his eyes wide with excitement. From the age of five, maybe even four, h

  • Kiss Of A Fallen Star   CHAPTER: 08

    Ryan’s POVThere was too much happening, and I was carrying far too many secrets — burying them so deep I sometimes wondered if they would suffocate me from within. I knew Damon was aware. He always was. He had a way of seeing through me, of waiting patiently for me to unravel and come to him for help. That’s what he did. That’s what he had always done.Every time I screwed up, every time things spiraled out of control, Damon stepped in — even when I hadn’t asked. He cleaned up the mess, shielded me from the fallout, and made sure the world never saw the cracks. But this time… this was different.This secret wasn’t something he could simply erase. Even the slightest whisper of gossip about it could destroy everything — my career, my family, my reputation. And worse, it could ruin the person involved.I couldn’t even predict how Eva would react if she ever found out. Especially now, seeing this new side of her — the defiance, the strength, the fire she had shown after years of humiliat

  • Kiss Of A Fallen Star   CHAPTER: 07

    Eva’s POVWhat was I even expecting from him? Just because Ryan spoke a few words in my favor doesn’t mean he loves me. I should have known better. If anything, he made it clear — without saying it outright — that he doesn’t want me, and he doesn’t want our children. He never once said he didn’t want a divorce. He never once asked about custody. Convenient, isn’t it? To wash his hands of responsibility without having to say the words.I thought, perhaps, he would stay back. I saw the flicker of surprise in Ryan’s eyes when I spoke Damon’s name, especially after he sent his parents away. I thought Ryan would ask me about Damon. Ask what Damon had said, or why I mentioned him. But no. Ryan.... he just left. Immediately. He didn’t even bother with my discharge papers, didn’t care about taking me or our newborn daughter home.And so, my daughter begins her life with the same fate as mine — no father to love or care for her, no father to cherish her. No luck in experiencing that p

  • Kiss Of A Fallen Star   CHAPTER: 06

    Ryan’s POV Astounded would be an understatement. This change in Eva… I had never seen anything like it. She was always the quiet, obedient one — never retorting, never arguing, never shouting. No matter how far someone pushed, she endured it. She never misbehaved, never talked back, especially not to my mother.If it had been anyone else in Eva’s place, they would have made my mom’s life — or Tessa’s life — hell, especially with the kind of support and soft spot Damon has for her. Both Tessa and my mom treated Eva miserably, yet she never once complained. That resilience, that patience… it was something I secretly admired about her.But today?Today was different. Tess ran away, yes, but that had more to do with her theatrics than Eva’s words. Still, I couldn’t ignore the look on my mother’s face — traumatized, shaken — after Eva’s outburst. I felt bad for Mom, but she was the one who brought up divorce and custody.The truth is, there was a time I wanted to get rid of Eva. What I ha

    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

  • Kiss Of A Fallen Star   CHAPTER: 01

    Eva's Pov:The first thing I felt was silence.The only sound that reached me was the steady, mechanical beeping of machines. My head throbbed, every inch of my body weighed down by a heaviness that felt more like chains than flesh, and beneath it all was a numbness that frightened me more than pai

    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

  • Kiss Of A Fallen Star   CHAPTER: 04

    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
