Love in the Limelight

Chapter 18

The second son of the Brooke family said, ‘Star. You might as well give up: you can’t win. It’s clearly written in the agreement, only if you win the Best Actress on your own without exposing your real identity and without using any resources from our family, that counts as a win You’ve got no background, no connections, and no capital, how are you going to make a splash in the entertainment industry? If you surrender now, Ill fly over and pick you up right away!“]

Maybe the next time she went back home, he would already be gone.

Thinking of this, Astrid felt great, threw her phone, and headed straight for the bathroom.
