Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 211: 'I have you now... I'll do even better.'
KEITHENI couldn't believe my ears. ‘A villain’s role?!’ I slammed both hands on the CEO’s desk. ‘What happened to the male lead? I'm the Best Rookie of the year, Goddess blast it!’‘Best Rookie?’ Good ol' Dan stared back with aghast, steamed up like a volcano. A fat finger shot out like a gun aimed at my forehead. ‘You son of a bitch put my ass out there to dry!’ Saliva pewed like hot rocks. ‘Do you have any idea what you've caused me? All the endorsements. Not to mention all the loss that comes with it! If you weren’t the nephew of a king, you wouldn’t be standing here talking to me!’The lump of embarrassment in my throat thickened. But I need to suck this up and go, or I'll lose Rose to some wannabe asshole! Gritting my teeth, head hanging like a wilted flower, I said, ‘Okay, I'm sorry I left without notice.’‘Goddamn right you did.’ The old geezer slumped defeated in his bosschair, but his knuckles were hard and white against the edge of his desk like a deathly reminder to not
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 212: 'He asked for you specifically, Rose'
ROSEThe strong grip around my wrist, and then two round, brown eyes of a handsome face stared back like a frightened deer. ‘Where are you going?’ asked Richard, his voice softer than usual but slightly nervous. ‘To get coffee,’ I replied without hesitation. And the grip loosened. He was smiling again. ‘I-I thought you were leaving me.’ I chuckled to dispel the awkwardness. I've never met a celebrity this clingy. ‘Technically, I am. There’s no coffee machine. So I thought to pop out for a cuppa,’ I said as my fingers nimbly adjusted his black collared shirt and smiled. ‘Do you want one?’ He nodded. ‘Latte with flower print and vanilla syrup.’ Is that he… pouting?‘Gotcha.’ I paused and looked down—he was holding my hands again—both, this time. ‘Err, you need to let me go first, Richard.’ Reluctantly, he let go. ‘Come back quick, okay?’ Err, okay? I nodded cautiously. Then, I patted his shoulder in reassurance. He flashed his charming boyish smile before returning apologetica
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 213: Those Unmistakable Blue Eyes
ROSE‘That’s who it was!’ Joy shrieked, jolting closer as the chocolate chip ice cream melted nicely across my tongue. ‘For a moment, I thought it was Ru—.’ Her smile froze like the first witness of a car crash and then she hastily said, ‘Rambo.’‘Rambo? As in Stallone?’ I laughed knowingly and knowingly added, ‘Doesn’t he look more like Rum?’ Joy scooped from her bucket of vanilla ice cream and put it in her mouth, refusing to meet my gaze. ‘Anyway the guy’s pretty nice for a celebrity, isn’t he? Virtus Talent’s definitely better than B.A.---. That darn company you worked for the last time.’ ‘You mean B.A.D? Rum’s company?’ Another scoop of ice cream went into her mouth, then a smile touched my own lips.‘You can say his name, you know.’ I licked my spoon. And she smiled with a weak chuckle. ‘That was dumb of me.’ ‘You were being considerate. I know. That’s why I love you very much, Joy.’ I beamed at her, to reassure her that I was truly alright. I am. The dreams have stopped.
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 214: I'll Protect What's Mine
ROSE‘What are you doing here?’ I snapped. Why did I? Angry. Yes, I’m angry. But why? Because his appearance reminded me of the Moon Goddess, and all the stupid shit she’s put me through. Most importantly, he reminded me of how silly I had been, clinging onto something I thought was precious. It was precious because Rum—one who’s least likely to love me back—actually loved me as much as I did. Silly. Stupid. I had been played like a fucking fool, thinking that I was in love. It was just fulfilling a fucking prophecy—the deity’s fucking prophecy. He looked around to make sure that I was talking to him and then casually replied, ‘Taking a piss?’ Is he annoyed? What right does he have? I should be the one who’s pissed!Arms crossed, I lifted the tip of my nose and snorted, ‘Running away again, huh?’ Those same handsome brows raised in surprise, and that blue gaze bore through me, as though telling me: what’s it to you? What’s it to me?! I stepped forward, pushing my face to his and
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 215: 'Is this guilt too?... Why, Rose?'
ROSE So it's been four days since the start of the shoot for the TV series….And Richard's been a complete pain in the back of my neck, whining like a kid each time he was given a break. I get it.The entire production team is made up A-listers: the director, the writer, the female lead, the supporting casts. Even the second male lead is a super sexy and charming, multi-talented award-winning actor. But, like I've told him, a million times, and I truly believe it, Richard has his strengths and he will shine! Goddamn it. How the hell do I make him believe that? If his sour face persists, we can forget about hitting any headlines by the time the shooting ends! I must do something about it. But what can I do? Stick to your job. The deep silky voice barked from the back of my mind. Argh! That damn Rum. Did he come back to ruin me? It must be! Why else did he show up now? Now when I'm about the hit the jackpot!‘Damn you, Rum!’ Hmm? That was my curse. But it wasn't my voice. So
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 216: The New--Hot--Neighbour
KEITHEN Goddess damn it…. My head dropped between my knees. I need to grab something or the pounding inside my chest would literally kill me. ‘Ha, ha….’ Fingers combed through my hair, scraping hard to get a sensation from my numbed scalp, so I could tell myself this is real. It was all real. The way her lips quivered when I first touched them, and how they bounced back curving naturally to mine. That sweet taste of tangerine and nectar around her tongue—. I rubbed my face. Once. Twice. Thrice. Calm down…. My hands were trembling as they grabbed the back of my head, clutching fistfuls of hair, gripping tightly as though the clenching would eliminate the roaring waves of desire storming through me—and the shitty feeling of disappointment that came with it. I missed her more than I thought. Waves were slamming against my ribcage. Thrashing about. And the answer slapped my jaw. I need to get even closer. As long as she’s around me, I think I can get through another da
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 217: News of the Harem
KEITHEN‘Shut up, R.’ I pushed myself off the door and stalked towards the kitchen. ‘How the fuck did you even get in here?’ Closing the fridge door with a bottle of cold water in hand, I caught a glimpse of the living room window—the curtains flirting carelessly with the cold night wind blowing through the gap and a hole in the glass. Below them, on the wooden floor, were shards from a broken glass. ‘Damn it!’ I shoved the bottle angrily at them. ‘You mutts broke my window! Do you have any idea how much it’ll cost to fix that?!’ Erasmos rolled his eyes as Rora exclaimed, ‘You told us that you’ll be back every night to catch up on things! Three nights, Kee! Not a sight or sound of you? What do you expect us to do—not panic? What if the dark whims—?’ I slammed the bottle on the counter and exhaled after a huge gulp of water. ‘The dark whims aren’t coming back—I thought I’d made it very clear when I explained my special ability.’ ‘Forgive us, Kee.’ The bodybuilder asshole stood an
Starstruck by the Alpha Chapter 218: The Alpha's Slippery Fingers
ROSE‘What proof do you have, huh?’ I stared at the girl from the trio I saw the other day, her eyes fiercely challenging, refusing to take back what she had just said about Rum, and I felt completely powerless. What can I say? That I was Rum’s fiance? That all those women had gone to him for favours and sex was the currency? That Rum didn't want to sleep with them? One jar of worms isn’t enough and I need to open another?My panicked eyes darted around to search for Keithen, hoping that he wasn’t around to hear the nasty things that people were saying about him, when a dry chuckle hit the air. ‘I bet she’s one of his darling fans.’ Laughed the other girl, the make-up artist of one of the actresses in the secondary cast. ‘Does he still have them?’ sniggered the guy, the make-up artist of Roy—the actor playing the boss of Richard’s character. And they all laughed. Arms crossed, the first girl stepped closer tauntingly. ‘You should stop fawning over him too. He’s not worth it.’
