Solana's POVAgatha smirked as soon as she stopped in front of our table. She's beside Pierce whose face was showing confusion. Probably because Agatha is looking at me with a mocking and sarcastic expression on her face.I felt anger washed over me as soon as I saw her face. I really don't like seeing her face. Her presence alone can ruin my mood."Hey there, sis. I see you're having fun after you get money from mom," she said with a hint of anger and mock.I lifted my chin and kept my face blank. I see she's trying to shame me here but she's so unlucky coz I won't let her embarrass me in any way. I bet she'll run away as soon as I hit her ego. I wanna know what her plan is and how she would embarrass me tonight.She glanced at Jordan and Pierce. She looked so eager to taint my image and ruin me in the eyes of the people around, especially to Pierce and Jordan."Gentlemen, my sister here seems to be enjoying your company. I bet you'd go straight to a hotel nearby. Are you excited, So
Solana's POVShe attempted to snatch the bag back, but I lifted my arm, moving it away from her reach. Her face turned red. She's now furios because of what I did. She roamed her eyes around, looking at the people watching us."Shut up, Solana!" She growled at me.I frowned at her. "Now, you want me to shut up? Why don't you tell yourself to back off and never dare to interfere with me again?"She tried to insult me by laughing sarcastically but I rolled my eyes at her. She has reached the peak of my limit. It's time for her to shut her loud mouth.I shot an eyebrow up. "What can you say about my suggestion, Agatha?She fell in silence. She obviously wanted to pull my hair now, but she's too humiliated to even argue. She really can't take humiliation, huh?"You'll pay for this!" She whispered angrily and I just grinned.I advanced to her once again. "How much?"She's now really furious. She snatched the money and the bag from me. She's trembling in so much anger and red as hell. After
Solana's POV"It seems like you're so mad at them. Why?" He continued asking. Curiosity is very evident in his eyes.Of course, he'd be curious. He knows that Agatha was my sister and yet we're not acting like siblings at all. I understand. I just hope he won't ask too many questions as I don't know if I could answer him properly.I pressed my lips together and looked down. "They just owe me money, Jordan. And they're refusing to pay me back."That's the safest answer and that's the truth anyway. They owe me the money they promised.I looked at him again. He nodded and tucked some strands of my hair on my ear. "Okay. I won't ask more, but I have a favor to ask."A favor? I hope it's not much. I nodded and smiled. "Sure."He heaved a sigh and stared at me, so intensely as he spoke… "Tell your colleagues that you're married, so they'd stop hitting on you."What? Hitting on me? Who's hitting on me? Pierce Adams? I don't think he'll continue pursuing me since he already knows that I'm mar
Solana's POVI hid my hand, hiding the ring from the pawnshop owner. Based on his expression, he wants the ring and I won't let him get this. I shook my head. "I'm not selling this ring, sir."He looked into my eyes and smiled. "I could pay 2 million for that ring alone."I gasped. 2 million? That's more than enough for Martha's renal transplantation. I can even buy our apartment with that money. But… No! Jordan gave me this ring, and I don't want to disappoint him.I shook my head again. "I'm sorry, sir. I'll just sell the bracelet and nothing more."He pressed his lips together and scratched his temple. "Let's make it 2.5 million."My forehead creased. What's so special about this ring that he's willing to pay that much?"I'm sorry, sir. But I'm not selling my ring. My husband gave it to me and I never thought about selling this."I looked at the staff and she gave me the money for the sold bracelet. Just when I'm about to leave, the pawnshop owner blocked my way. "Then, I can offer
Solana's POV"Did you sell it, Solana?" He asked again. He's now raising his voice because of anger. His neck and face are red. He's showing too many emotions in his eyes which I couldn't interpret. All I know is he's furious about the heirloom."F-cking answer me, Solana. Why did you sell the ring?"I stared at him. Startled and confused. I sold the ring? Why would I sell the ring and the ring is right here, in my finger. Is he blind? I showed him the ring with an annoyed expression on my face. I don't think I'm following him. He's talking about the ring that's actually on his face."I have the ring, Jordan. Can't you see?" I asked back, annoyed.He took the ring off my finger and examined it. He gasped and looked at me again. His jaws even clenched. "This? This is a counterfeit, Solana. How could you try to fool me?"My eyes widened and my lips parted. Counterfeit? "What?" That's impossible. I think he's wrong.He gritted his teeth. "The ring I gave you has my mother's initials. Thi
Jordan's POVI rolled my tongue over my lips and stared at the closed door. Solana left in anger and I sucked my breath as I realized what I did. I remembered her face. Her face showed pain and disappointment. My lips parted as I recalled how she said the last words she threw at me. She sounds so… f-ck!I messed up my hair and rushed out to follow her. I almost tripped on the stairs in combined rushed and anger. When I saw her walking along the sidewalk, I followed her silently.Where is she going? I bit my bottom lip as I watched her walk. Her steps are heavy as if it's so hard for her to carry herself. I swallowed hard, realizing how stupid I was to throw hurtful words at her when she's obviously tired. I saw it in her eyes. She's tired, but she still cooked our breakfast. I cursed under my breath.My forehead creased when I realized she entered a pawnshop. I clenched my jaws. Did she really sell the ring?I walked closer not to show up, but to hear what her intention was. I wanna k
Solana's POVI stared at Jordan while my lips were trembling. I felt his hand reaching mine. It's sending electrifying sensations in my body that I want to cry because I can feel his care but remember how he talked to me a while ago. He was almost shouting. He didn't allow me to explain.Pain crept in my heart as I took my hand back. He looked at me because of that.I looked at him before walking past him and stormed out of the pawnshop. I heard him calling my name, but I didn't look back. I'll just come back to get the ring. I just need to leave 'cause I don't think I can stand the anger and pain I felt because of Jordan.***Jordan's POVI watched Solana as she left. For the second time tonight, she turned her back on me and left. It's making my heart clenched.After I heard the conversation between her and the pawnshop owner, I realized my mistakes. I was so stupid. I judged her. I didn't let her explain. I wasn't even interested in her explanation. I just proceed with the judgment
Jordan's POVI sat on the chair in front of a woman. I'm certain my expression was hard and terrifying 'cause I saw fear in her eyes. I crossed my legs and arms. My jaws are constantly clenching as I glanced at Wayne behind her."Sir, she's the shop manager," Wayne informed me.I looked at the woman again and shot an eyebrow up. "Who replaced the ring? Was it you or the owner of the pawnshop?"She swallowed hard and looked away. "I d-don't know what you're talking about."I laughed without humor. "The sapphire ring, miss. My wife owns that ring and you brought it to an auction."She gasped and looked at me. Fear was very evident in her eyes. Yes! Fear me 'cause I won't let this slide. I wronged my wife because of this craziness."W-We bought it from your wife, sir."I clenched my jaws and my expression hardened. I'm losing my patience. Bought it from my wife? If I didn't hear my wife arguing with the pawnshop owner, I would believe this woman but no. She wouldn't be here in the first
