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
Solana's POVAlton stared at me intently."Can't you just take it Solana?" he asked."Daddy!" Atlas shouted before I could even respond and I saw him running towards George's car.George stepped out of his car and then carried Atlas on his arm.I don't know what got into George but he agreed on pretending as my husband and Atlas' father.I have no idea how to repay his kindness.George walked towards us carrying Atlas. He smiled at me and then planted a kiss on my cheeks."Hi Love," he greeted.I smiled at him then turned his head to Alton who is looking at us coldly.He swallowed hard then hid the toy truck on his back then flashed a small smile."I have to go," he said. He was about to leave when Atlas called him."Won't you give me the truck Sir?" Atlas politely asked.I want to cover his mouth when he said those.Alton turned around and then looked at Atlas with a smile plastered on his face.He nod his head and then handed the toy truck to Atlas."What will you say to Uncle Alton
Alton's POVSolana looked at me intently then after a while she smiled at me."Let's sleep," she said then closed her eyes so I have no choice but to stare at her face confused.I felt I am slowly having a grasp on the truth but it feels like I am just making things up to make me feel better.I want to ask her if Atlas is my son but I can't bring myself to ask it because of fear that she might answer the same. That our child is dead. That she lost it from the accident and hearing it from her once again felt like being stabbed multiple times.I let out a deep breath and contented myself by staring at them.I looked at Solana's face intently then turned my head on Atlas.Whenever I am looking at Atlas I can feel happiness surge in my system but at the same time, I felt pain and longing because I can see my child in him.I planted a soft kiss on Atlas' forehead."I wish you are my son," I whispered wiping the tears that fell from my eyes.I looked at them once again before I decided to s
Solana's POVAlton claimed my lips and after a while, I felt his kisses going down.I giggled when he started sucking the skin on my neck but I pushed him away when I remembered that I saw him with a woman a few days ago."Why?" he asked completely confused.I folded my arms around my chest and then looked at him directly in the eyes."Tell me do you have a girlfriend?" I asked looking at him with raised eyebrows.Alton looked at me with a creased forehead."I don't have a girlfriend, Solana," he said."I saw you at the market with a woman," I said.He looked at me as if he was thinking who am I talking about after a while a laugh escaped from his lips."You mean Allison?" he asked.Alton looked at me with a smile plastered on his face finding this funny."She is an engineer, Solana. I hired her to build my hotel, she's not my girlfriend," he said then reached for my hand and planted a soft kiss on it."When I met you I can't see myself loving someone else Solana," he said while looki
Alton's POVI sat on the sand while watching the sunrise.I am still carrying the guilt that I felt earlier when I saw my son slowly losing his breath.I feel lost.I have no idea what I should do. I want to be near my son. I want to wrap him in my arms but I am afraid that if I do that he might get mad and cry. He might end up in that situation again and I don't want to witness that. It was such torture watching my son lose his breath because of me.While I am peacefully sitting at the shore I felt someone's presence and upon turning my head I saw Arthur.He smiled at me so I smiled back. After that, he turned his head on the vast sea and I did the same."Atlas is a good kid," he started.I looked at him but his eyes is fixated on the sea."I can see that," I responded.Arthur turned his head on me and then stared at my face intently."You are his father, right?" he asked. I nod my head without any hesitation."Atlas looks exactly like you," he added which made me smile."Atlas alwa
Solana's POVFear succumbed to me when I heard his question."Do I have to?" I asked filled with hesitation.Alton reached for my hand and then gave me an assuring smile."I know what you are worried about Solana. I'll talk to Mom first and when everything is settled you can meet her...once you are ready," he said. I let out a deep breath and then nod my head.Alton smiled at me then turned his head to our son who is looking at us listening to our conversation.Alton smiled at Atlas."Do you want to meet your grandma, son?" he asked.Atlas looked at me as if he is asking for my help to answer that question. I smiled at him and then held his hand.Atlas looked at his father once again."Is she a good Grandma, like Grandma Mary?" he innocently asked.Alton smiled at Atlas and then nod his head."She's the sweetest. I'm sure she will love you," he said.Atlas smiled a little then nod his head before he continue eating his pancake.After eating breakfast I helped Atlas to get ready for sc
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
Solana's POVHappiness. Contentment. Love.That's what I felt as I walked down the aisle.A smile is formed on my lips while tears are about to fall from my eyes.I can feel my heart swell in happiness. 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
