Solana's POV

After closing the store, I headed home, and upon arriving, I saw Allison again in her party outfit.

"No, I won't come with you, Allison," I said before she could even invite me.

"Fine, Solana," she responded, then stepped out of the house.

When Allison left, I headed towards the garden to look for Dad, and I was right, he was there, having his tea.

"Hi, Dad,"

I kissed him on the cheek and sat on the wooden bench in our garden.

"How's work?" he asked.

I let out a tired sigh as exhaustion surged through my body. 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.

    Solana's POVDays went by with the same routine that I have, and I thought it would end the same. However, I was wrong because upon closing my store and stepping out of A&S Mall, I saw Alton standing outside, leaning on his car with his hands in his pockets.I ignored him and walked towards my car, but he called me, and when I didn't look at him, he held my hand and made me face him.I stopped walking and faced him with a raised eyebrow."Do you need anything?" 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. I just want to see you," he said, locking gaze with me.I felt my heart beating erratically in my chest once again. I did my best to act like I was not affected by his words

It's still a bit early so maybe I can still buy her a gift.Kris will be mad at me if I forgot her birthday for sure."I'll come to your condo later," I said acting like I didn't forget her birthday at all."It will be held at a newly opened club. Neon Lights, Solana. I will pick you up at 9:00 PM," she said so I guess I have no choice.I don't want to do parties anymore but it's Kris's birthday and I can't just simply decline her invitation I am sure she will hold it against me if I do

I will let her do what she wants.You made a deal with her Alton so fucking stick with that. You have to give her the space that she needs, that's all she is asking so why can't you give her that?"Thank you for helping me," she said before she removed my hold and walked towards her store.I watched Solana as she talked to Briana.I clenched my fist tightly stopping myself from getting near her and from helping her.I need to control myself and keep my distance just like what she wants."Alton, can I talk to you please?"When I heard Olivia's voice I felt my blood boil.

Olivia was a big figure in the entertainment industry, the highest-paid model and actress at the time, making the news all the more shocking."I can't stop watching this video, Solana. Alton did a great job posting it," Kris said, laughing while watching the video where Olivia was interviewed about framing me.Olivia kept denying that she put the necklace in my bag, claiming the footage was somehow edited, but her lies were not believed by the public.All her movies and advertisements,

He stared at my face intently then raised his right eyebrow as he is waiting for my answer."Solana," Kris whispered in my ear which made me flinch so I immediately looked away and sat on the couch beside a man I didn't know."Hi," I greeted to divert my attention.The man smiled at me and offered a handshake. "Simon," he introduced himself so I took his hand and smiled at him, "Solana," I responded."Everyone knows you, Solana," he said so I just smiled awkwardly."I have been dying to meet you, I am such a huge fan," he added which added to the awkwardness that I am feeling. I am used to people telling me that they are my fan but I still feel awkward because I no longer work in the entertainment industry.I just politely nod my head and smiled at Simon. "Thank you," I said then turned my head to Kris who is pointing at Alton using her lips.When I turned my head to Alton I saw him looking at Simon darkly but when our eyes met, his ga

I reclined her seat and swiftly moved my body on top of hers."What are you doing?" she nervously asked, but she didn't push me away.I saw desire in her eyes, which made me smile playfully.I leaned in, making our faces a few inches away from each other. I could feel her hot breath on my face, and I could smell the liquor in her mouth."What the fuck are you doing, Alton?" she asked, anger evident in her tone, but it contradicts the desire that reflects in her eyes.Her breathing became heavy as I got closer to her."You feel guilty, right, for turning me on," I said without breaking off the gaze, "you should be held responsible, Solana, in calming it down," I whispered.She swallowed hard but didn't even attempt to push me away.I leaned in once again, making our lips touch. I didn't move nor claim her lips, I just let them touch."Push me away if you don't want this, Solana," I whispered while our lips were touching.She didn'
