Solana's POVAfter a few moments, Mom joined us for dinner and just like Timothy she asked how the lunch date with Hunter went."Hunter seems like a good man based on Timothy's story, I like him for you Solana," she said so I simply smiled and nod my head."Timothy and I have been talking about your marriage with him," she said and my forehead creased upon hearing that.I almost spit the food inside my mouth.I immediately grab the tissue then wiped the side of my lips and faced them."Are you two serious?" I asked looking at them completely confused."Yes, why Solana?" my mother asked.I looked at her in disbelief.I mastered controlling my emotions whenever I am talking to her. I trained myself in saying yes to everything she will say but this time it is different.I can't take this."Mom I am not marrying Hunter," I firmly uttered."That is ridiculous. I just met him yesterday and now you are asking me to marry him?" I asked. I can no longer hide my annoyance."Solana you are of ag
Alton's POVI stayed quiet during the whole argument and when Solana leave the table I decided to leave as well.I thought I could step out of the kitchen but my father spoke."Can help us convince your sister to marry Hunter?" he asked. I let out a deep breath and then faced him."Don't involve me in your mess Dad. Besides Solana is old enough to decide for herself so why are forcing her to marry someone she doesn't like?" I asked looking at him with annoyance."Hunter is a good man beside if Solana marries Hunter then she can learn so much in business and she can have a stable life," he reasoned. I looked at him in disbelief."I can teach Solana everything about business if that's all you care about and mind you Dad Solana has a career and she can support herself without your help," I said. My father looked at me in disbelief as if I betrayed him or something."Solana will marry Hunter, Alton. You can leave if you don't want to help," Solana's mother butted in and I felt anger surge
Solana's POVWhen I got home I can still feel the same tension we had this morning.The moment I saw Timothy and my mother sitting on the couch in the living room I let out a deep breath and ignored them.I headed towards my room but before I could fully leave my mother spoke."Where are your manners Solana?" she asked which made me stopped from walking and faced them."You won't even greet me and your Dad?" she asked with raised eyebrows.I let out a deep breath once again before walking towards them.I kissed Mom on the cheeks and even Timothy.I thought they will let me go after that but I was wrong because my mother spoke again."You won't say sorry to us for how you acted this morning?" she said while looking at me directly in the eyes."I won't apologize for defending myself Mom," I firmly uttered without breaking off the gaze.My mother looked at me in disbelief as if she isn't expecting me to say those words.She stood up and faced me."How dare you disrespect me again?!" she
Alton's POVWhen I got home I saw Solana and her mother in the living room hugging each other while my father is watching them with a smile on his face.When my father's eyes landed on me he immediately acknowledge my presence."You're late," he said so I simply nod my head and walked towards them.I sat on the couch across from my father then poured some wine on a glass before leaning my back on the couch."We had an emergency meeting," I said then sipped on the wine.Solana and her mother looked at me so I simply nod my head at them."What's happening?" I curiously asked."It seems like you comprised," I commented upon witnessing their emotional hug earlier."Solana agreed on marrying Hunter," Solana's mother uttered. I looked at Solana and she looked shocked hearing her mother's words but she smiled anyway."I am still thinking about it Mom," Solana politely uttered."I am sure Hunter can convince you, Solana," her mother confidently uttered which made her fall silent.I looked at
Solana's POVAfter barging into Alton's office I called Kris to inform her that I will be heading home.I am done with my shoot anyways and I want to spend the rest of my day lying on my bed rather than stressing myself on my issue spreading on the internet.They are making a big deal out of that note. They are acting as if I am engaging in an incest relationship.Yes, Alton and I are somehow siblings but we aren't related by blood. I am not suggesting we can have a romantic relationship or something all I am saying is we didn't commit some sort of crime for them to judge me harshly.I am used to my bashers calling me names but now it feels different because Alton is involved. They make it look as if I am offering myself to Alton. They made me look like I am a whore and I am obsessed with him something that I cannot accept.When I stepped inside my room I immediately dived into my bed and then closed my eyes hoping I could rest but I failed."I fucking hate him," I curse while killing
Solana's POVJust like what I promised to Anna I dropped by at her place.I pressed the doorbell and the moment her door opened she pulled me into a tight hug and then looked at me with excitement plastered on her face."I'm glad you came!" she happily uttered then widened the opening of her door, inviting me to step inside.Upon stepping inside her unit I saw some models that I once work with but I am having a hard time remembering their names. There are also a bunch of strangers busy playing beer pong."Guys Solana Reev's here," Anna happily announced.Everyone turned their head in our direction so I flashed a sweet smile."Hi," I greeted."Hi, my name's Thomas," a man with blonde hair stepped forward.He extended his hand asking for a handshake so I held his hand and smiled at him."Nice to meet you, Thomas," I replied."Come on join us," he said then pulled me towards his friends who are busy playing beer pong."You are Solana Reev?" a woman with shoulder-length hair asked so I lo
Alton's POVSolana looks traumatized.The police are asking her questions but she remained quiet.She is looking at the wall blankly without any emotion at all.I held her hand and gently caressed it."Solana," I called her name but it seems like she cannot hear me."Solana?" I called her once again and this time she looked at me completely confused."What?" she asked with her eyes filled with fear.I smiled at her and then looked at the police officer."I'm sorry I don't think she can give a statement today, we will just send our family lawyer to handle this case," I said.The police officer let out a deep breath and then nod his head."Okay, Sir we understand," one police officer responded and after that, we leave the place.During the whole time, Solana keeps on spacing out.Before pulling my car off the parking lot I looked at her."Do you want to go home?" I asked.Solana looked at me and then shook her head."I want to stay at my condo unit," she said so I nod my head."Where is
Solana's POVAt exactly 6:00 PM Alton left my unit I thought he won't come back but after an hour I heard my doorbell ring and upon opening the door I saw Alton standing in front of my unit wearing casual clothes while carrying a black backpack."Why are you here?" I asked completely confused."I will sleep here," he simply uttered.My forehead creased upon looking at him."What?" I asked even though I heard him."I will spend a night here, don't worry I will sleep on your couch," he said then stepped inside my unit without even asking for my permission."Did you eat your dinner?" he asked then sat on the couch. I slowly nod my head while looking at him still confused.Alton put his bag on the centre table and then took out his laptop."Do you want to watch TV?" he asked like he owns this unit.I nod my head once again. Alton turned on the TV and then handed me the remote.I am still completely confused about what he is planning to do that is why I can't function properly."I'm fine h
Solana's POVI felt a cold breeze brush my skin as I walked on the shore.The wind brushed my hair and every time I felt its soft embrace I was at peace.It was the usual morning.Crystal blue water.Cold breeze.Fresh air.And them. My family.When I saw my daughter waving her hands at me I waved back and walked towards them a smile never left my lips."Hi Mommy," she happily uttered when I sat beside her father.I opened my arms and the moment I did that she immediately sat on my lap leaving her father."You little traitor," Alton uttered as he playfully pinched Aisha's nose.Her giggles filled our ears. I hugged her tightly and showered her with kisses."Mommy it tickles," she said while laughing so I stopped and made her face me.I stared at her face and brushed off the strands of hair that covered her face."Are you ready to go to school?" I asked.She pouted her lips which made me smile.I can see that she is not yet ready to attend school but she's already four years old so she
Alton's POVI still feel like I am living in a dream.Everything feels too good to be true.I just imagined this to happen and now that it finally came true I feel the happiest.Waking up every morning and being greeted by my wife's beautiful face always put a smile on my face.She looks angelic to look at and I will never get tired of staring at her.The sun is already shining brightly but I am still lying on our bed waiting for Solana to wake up.When I saw her slowly open her eyes my smile grew wider."Good morning," I greeted the moment her eyes met mine.She smiled back at me and stared at my face for quite some time."Good morning," she greeted back.I gently caressed her face and kissed her lips softly."What do you want for breakfast?" I asked.She paused and thought for a while before her lips rose for a smile. She must have thought of something she had been craving to eat."I want avocado toast with lots of strawberries,"I looked at her in disbelief but I guess I need to ge

Everything looks perfect.Everyone close to our hearts is here witnessing how we will be finally joined in front of God.It was no longer forbidden. We no longer have to hide. We finally found our freedom to love each other without any limitations.It took us everything to get here.I lost my career when I allowed myself to be drawn to the fire of our forbidden love.My mother whom I tried to please my whole life disown me.I lost my friends.My fame.My money.My success.But I found myself.I found peace.I found happiness.When I lost everything and I was on my downfall I thought I was being punished but little did I know God was redirecting me. He is making me realize what I want in life.It's not other people's attention nor the blinding spotlight but peace and a life filled with
Solana's POVI watched her as she walked towards us.I can't believe she's here."Why are you here?" I asked not because I didn't want her here but because I was shocked that she managed to go to Massachusetts without telling me."I want to see you bitch," she said then pulled me into a tight hug.When Kris broke off the hug she stared at my face intently. "I'm happy for you," she said with tears forming in the corner of her eyes.I know she is. She has seen how much I suffered when I tried to hide my relationship with Alton.She held my hand and gently squeezed it before turning her head on Alton. "I'm happy for you too Alton," Alton nodded his head and smiled at Kris. I know Kris witnessed how Alton suffered when I went missing for five years.She was there to help Alton cope. She became our anchor during the worst times.She was there to help Alton find me and to make Alton feel that he wasn't alone in believing that I was still alive."It happened so suddenly and I didn't get th
Alton's POVCold breeze.Sound of waves.Beautiful sunset.And Solana.I wouldn't complain if I would spend the rest of my life here...as long as she's with me.We can build a family here.I am tired of living in the city anyway. I want peace."Let's live here?" I asked while gently caressing her hair.Solana turned her gaze at me and looked at me directly in the eyes. "Are you sure?" she asked.I smiled at her and nodded my head. "Let's raise our kids here. We'll watch them play at the beach. Creating sand castles while we are having our morning coffee and when night comes we can have a bonfire,"Her soft laughter filled my ear. "You plan everything out?" she asked.I smiled at her and gently held her hand. "It's has been my dream when I met you,"I planted a soft kiss on her lips before turning my gaze back to the ocean.After a while, Mary called us for dinner.We walked towards their house and upon seeing their table I couldn't help but be amazed at all the food they had prepared.
Solana's POVThe morning breeze brushed my skin.I haven't opened my eyes yet but I already know where I am upon smelling the fresh air.A smile grace on my lips as I listen to the sound of the waves and my smile grew wider when I felt his warm lips on mine."Good morning," he greeted me the moment I opened my eyes.I stared at his face. I'll never get tired of looking at him. "Good morning," I replied."Let's have breakfast?" I got off the bed and walked towards the glass window where I could see the beautiful sunrise and crystal clear beach."How long had you been awake?" Alton held my waist and hugged me from behind. He rested his chin on my shoulder and buried his face on my neck.I giggled when he started planting soft kisses on my weakest spot. "You smell good," he said as he sniffed my neck."I just woke up,"He's exaggerating it. I know he just said those words to make me smile and it worked."I love your natural scent,"He continued kissing my neck while I softly caressed h
Alton's POVA smile slowly crept on my lips when I heard her say those words.When I could no longer contain my happiness I pulled her into a tight hug."I am not sure yet Alton," she said worry evident in her tone.I broke off the hug and stared at her face."Let's buy a pregnancy test then," I suggested.Fear crossed her eyes so I held her hand and gently caressed it."I won't get mad whatever the result will be, we will just check it,"She let out a deep breath and then after a while nodded her head agreeing to my suggestion.While driving I held her hand. It felt cold so I caress it.I know she's scared to disappoint me. We are ready to have a baby. We are eager to have another child and we always pray for it to happen but if we are not yet meant to welcome another blessing then it's fine, we will just patiently wait for our angel to arrive.After buying the pregnancy test I drove towards the condominium building where we are currently staying.The moment we stepped inside the uni
Solana's POVDays passed and I felt the happiest. I feel free now that I am with Alton.I no longer hide what I truly felt about him."Let's have dinner later," he said before I stepped out of the car.I smiled at him and nodded my head. "Okay," I gave him a quick kiss and I thought that was enough for him but he cupped my face and claimed my lips once again, this time longer.I slapped his chest when I was out of breath. I glared at him...panting. "That's too much," I complained but his smile erased the irritation that I was feeling.He caressed my face and stared at my eyes. "I'm sorry Love I can't help it," he reasoned out then gave me a quick kiss."I'll pick you up later," he reminded me before I stepped out of his car.I waved my hands as I watched him drive away. When his car disappeared I headed inside the mall so I could help Brianna in opening the store.When I reached the store Brianna was already there and a teasing smile was already present when she saw me."What?" I ask
Alton's POVI helped Solana pack her things.It took us an hour before we finished and once done we stepped out of her room carrying her luggage.When we reached the living room I saw Beatrice and Allison waiting for us.They immediately pulled Solana into a tight hug and to give them privacy I stepped out of the house and put all the things that we had packed inside my car.After a few minutes of waiting, I saw them stepping out of the house.Beatrice smiled at me and gently held my hand the moment she got closer."Take care of her," she said so I smiled and nodded my head. "I will,""Don't you dare hurt my sister, Alton," Allison added which made me chuckle.I looked at her and held Solana's waist."I won't do that," After bidding goodbye we drove towards my unit. "Where do you want to build our house?"Solana turned her head on me and stared at my face intently. "I want to live in Massachusetts," she said.I smiled at her and nodded my head. I reached for her hand and planted a
