Alton's POV

The entire shoot felt like torture, being forced to be close to Olivia irritated the hell out of me.

When the shoot with her finally ended, I thought I could finally get away from her, but she kept following me.

"Let's have lunch together, Alton," she said.

I let out a deep breath to calm myself, refusing to lash out in front of everyone. But deep down, my patience was wearing thin, and any minute now I might say something that would hurt her.

"I'll have lunch with Solana," I stated firmly, then fixated my eyes on Solana, who was posing for the camera.

Every time she smiles, I couldn't help but be mesmerized by her beauty. No wonder I fell for her...hard. And I had no plans of stopping.

I walked with Alton since he volunteered to give me a ride, and I chose to accept his offer because I didn't bring my car with me."Just drop me off at A&S Mall," I said.Alton nodded his head and started the engine, then drove off.I thought he would just simply drop me off, but he even opened the door for me and walked with me as I headed towards my store. But before I could reach it, I turned to face him."Don't you have work?" I asked, looking at him."I do, Solana. That's why I am here. I own this Mall, remember? I am here to check the sales," he said, and that somehow made me feel embarrassed.Alton looked at me in

I've fallen deeply, and I have no idea how to get over her. So, the only thing left for me is to try and try until she finally gives in," I explained.Jacob smiled and stared intently at me, making me feel slightly uncomfortable."You really love her, I can see that," he remarked.I nodded without hesitation."I do," I said firmly.He let out a deep breath and looked into my eyes."I really hope you two end up together. I really like you for Solana. I hope I get lucky and attend your wedding. You should move faster, Alton," he teased, but I sensed some truth behind the jest."I really hope you can attend our wedding," I played along."What wed

Taking a deep breath, I stepped out of the vehicle.As I walked inside, I found my way to Mom's tomb after a short walk."Hi, Mom," I greeted, smiling softly at her tomb as I sat on the grass, not minding the dirt that clung to my pants."I'm confused," I confessed, letting out a soft laugh. "I don't know what to do with my life anymore. Fear has consumed me, and I feel so lost. I have no idea where I'm heading or if I'm ready to accept him into my life. I know I love him. What I felt towards him didn't change, but fear is consuming me, and I can't figure out what I want.

I asked nervously.Alton's eyebrows furrowed while looking at my face intently as if he is mad or something."I should be the one asking you that. After rejecting me I will find you here having fun, you have your ways of insulting me Solana," he said without breaking off the gaze."It wasn't my plan to go here. Allison convinced me to party with her" I said explaining to him why I am at the club even though I didn't even owe him any explanation.I didn't need to ask for his permission to come here, so why am I explaining?"Allison forced you to come here?" he asked then removed the strands of my hair that covers my face and tucked it behind my ears."She convinced me to come here," I said.I can feel my breathing getting heavy as I felt his touch on my face."Why did you

I immediately pushed him away, and he fell on the bed."Shit!" he cursed, glaring at me while massaging his back."Why did you do that?" he asked, looking at me with furrowed eyebrows and a pained expression."Is someone there?!"Panic surged through me as I heard Kris' voice. I looked at Alton, but he seemed unfazed."Kris is here," I said."So?" he asked nonchalantly."Hide under the bed," I said in a panic, attempting to push him under, but he refused. Before I could hide him, the door swung open, revealing Kris.Kris rolled her eyes at the sight of us and put down the ladle she was holding."I thought some thief got in," she said."Why are you treati

I was happy that we had many customers, but it meant my whole body would ache because I stood all afternoon attending to their needs and entertaining them."Tiring," I replied, leaning my head on his shoulder like a child.Dad's hand stroked my hair, and I felt comforted. My eyes automatically closed, and I took a quick rest."Remember to take a rest, Solana. You should take care of your body," he reminded me, making me smile.We stayed in that position for quite so

I asked, and when he heard that, he held his chest as if my words had hurt him."You are hurting me, Love," he said, which made my furrowed brow crease even more.I removed his hold on my hand and looked at him intently."Do you need anything?" I repeated, raising my eyebrows as I waited for his answer.Alton shook his head and then smiled at me."Nothing.
