Alton's POVI stared at Solana's face intently. She remained silent and after a while, she looked away."I'm sorry," she said and for the nth time I received rejection once again but I am not mad at her... I can't be mad at her because I understand why she feels this way."I understand," I said then stood up and headed out.The tension inside her unit is too much and I needed to cool down. I need to calm myself.When I reached the parking lot I stepped inside my car but before starting the engine I took out my phone and texted Solana.To: SolanaI'll be back. Call me if you need anything.After hitting the send button I stared at the message that I sent but a few minutes have passed and I didn't receive a reply.I let out a deep breath and then headed towards the bar owned by Sebastian.Upon arriving I immediately headed to the counter where I usually see Sebastian.I saw him mixing some drinks. I occupied one of the bar stools on the counter and when Sebastian's eyes landed on mine h
Solana's POVI marched out of his office filled with irritation.I saw Alton's employees looking in my direction but I ignored them and continued marching towards the parking lot.I was about to step inside my car when I heard Alton calling my name.I let out a deep breath before facing him and upon turning around I saw Alton standing at the exit while catching his breath.He walked towards me and then held my hand."Are you mad?" he asked but instead of answering his question, I looked around to see if someone is looking at us.I brought my gaze back to Alton."I'm tired I want to rest," I said then removed his hold and he looks defeated when I did that."Let's go home then," he said then open the door of the passenger seat."What are you doing?" I asked."I will drive you home," he simply responded."Are you done with your work?" I asked and Alton confidently nod his head.I let out a deep breath and then stepped inside my car, Alton on the other hand walked towards the driver's sea
Alton's POVWhen I am done with work I headed to Solana's unit.When I arrived she is already there cooking dinner."Hi," I greeted her then hugged her from behind.I kissed her cheeks then rested my head on her shoulder."Hi," she greeted back. Solana is busy cooking steak while I stand behind her, hugging her tightly."What time is your dinner date?" I asked and upon asking that question I felt jealousy crept in my system."It's not a dinner date," she defended."Better not be," I responded which made her laugh."I'll leave at seven," she said so I let out a deep breath and then nod my head.When Solana was done cooking I helped her in preparing the table and after that, we started having dinner.Solana ate a little since she will have dinner with Hunter and his parents.At six she started preparing and when the clock strike seven she left the unit.I patiently waited for her. I watch a football match while having some beer.It's already nine but she isn't back yet.I checked my ph
Solana's POVMy body froze when I saw Alton barged in the kitchen. His eyes fixated on me and waiting for my response.I look at my mother and when our eyes meet her face is full of questions."Can't it wait Alton? Join us for lunch first," Timothy suggested.Alton looked at me intently then after a while he let out a deep breath then sat beside Hunter's parents across from Hunter."I think you owe Mr Sullivan an apology," Timothy added while looking at his son intently obviously not pleased with how he acted.Alton turned his head on Mr Sullivan, Hunter's father."I'm sorry for my behaviour Sir," he apologized.Mr Sullivan flashed a warm smile and simply nodded his head, not offended by how Hunter acted."It's fine Alton," he said then looked at Timothy to assure him that everything is fine.Mr Sullivan looked at me and then at Alton. I nervously smiled at him but Alton didn't seem to mind the glances that Mr. Sullivan threw.After a while, he turned his head to Timothy."Maybe we sh
Alton's POVWhen I woke up Solana was already gone.I looked for her in every corner of her unit but she was nowhere to be found and that's when I realized that she left...again.After a while, my phone vibrated and upon looking at my screen I saw my secretary's name flashed on the screen."Sir I am sorry but the board is asking for an emergency meeting and they are demanding you to be there," he said.I let out a deep breath."Tell them I will schedule a meeting next week," I said."Sir the business is going down. The company's profit decreased by 10%. Some of our investors want to pull out their investments. We are losing the company, Sir," he said. I frustratedly brushed my hair and then nod my head."I'll be there in an hour," I said then dropped the call.I headed to the bathroom and then took a quick bath.Luckily I have a spare suit from my car so I don't have to drive to the unit to get some clothes.When I am done I headed towards my company."Good morning Sir," my employees
Solana's POVUpon opening my eyes I saw an unfamiliar woman. She is looking at me with a huge smile plastered on her face."She's awake! She's awake!" she happily announced and after a while, I saw a man maybe in his mid-50s looking at me as well with a huge smile plastered on his face.My forehead creased while looking at them.Confusion filled me on how I ended up in this situation and that's when I remembered the plane crash.Panic filled me. I immediately held my belly. I am consumed by fear and I felt tears forming on the corner of my eyes.The woman must have noticed it so she held my hand. I looked at her, she smiled at me."Your baby is fine," she said she probably saw the fear plastered on my face.A tear fell from my eyes. I felt relieved and I ended up sobbing.The woman immediately hugged me and caressed my back to calm me down."You are both fine don't worry," she said as she calms down.We stayed in that position for a few minutes until my cry subsided.I wiped the tears
Alton's POVWhen I saw Solana at the restaurant I feel like I have been revived.My world starts revolving again but she looks at me with unfamiliarity and without any hint of longing as if she had already forgotten about me.When people told me that Solana is already dead and I should move on I refused to listen to their words because I know she isn't. I know Solana's alive and someday I will find her and I did...but she pushed me away. She may not say it but I can tell by the way she acts towards me, it tells that she doesn't want me around.When she left me at the restaurant I followed her but when I saw her standing next to a man whom she claimed as her husband I felt like being shattered into pieces.My eyes are directed at their son who is happily eating his ice cream. I looked at their son intently and I can't help but doubt Solana's words.Did she really lose our child or she is just saying that to push me away?Tears cascaded down my face while watching them. They look like
Alton's POVI stared at Solana's face intently.I didn't bother to take off my gaze so she was the one who decided to look away and turned her head on Kris."I'm sorry Kris for not telling you that I am alive," she said.I saw tears forming in Kris's eyes.After a while, she hug Solana once again, tightly as if it would disappear any moment."I know you have your reasons Solana, what is important now is you are alive," Kris uttered trying to suppress her sobs.After a while Kris broke off the hug and then turned her head to George who is standing next to Solana, silently watching us."Who is he?" Kris carefully asked shifting her gaze from Solana then to George.Solana turned her head to George and then to Kris."He is George..." Solana paused and threw a glance at my side before bringing her gaze back to Kris."my husband," she added and when I heard those words came out of her mouth I felt a pang on my chest."Oh!" Kris uttered, shocked when she heard Solana's response.Kris turned

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

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

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.

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

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.
