Solana's POVI was sketching some designs while sitting on the bed and resting my back against the headboard of the bed. I smiled as I felt satisfaction with my design tonight. I was almost finished when the door swung open. Jordan entered while combing his hair. We're still not on good terms, but he's really doing everything to make it up to me. He's serving me everyday.He stopped combing his hair and left the comb in his hair after he saw me looking at him. He cleared his throat and dropped the comb on the vanity. He walked towards me without taking his eyes off of me."Can we talk?" He asked with hope.I looked away. I suddenly felt uncomfortable with his stares. I wasn't able to answer him."Are you done sketching?" He asked again.I shook my head and chewed my bottom lip. I looked at him and found him nodding and speaking… "Okay. I'll just wait for you."He sat on the bed while I stared at my sketchbook. It was so awkward. I know he wants to say something. Perhaps we wants us to
Jordan's POVI shook my head after putting a small wound plaster on my face, covering Solana's scratch. Damn. I heaved a sigh while staring at my own reflection in the mirror. Zach, sitting on the driver seat was watching me intently, so I turned to him and shot an eyebrow up."What?" I asked, irritated.He shook his head and fixed his eyes in front. We're in the parking area of the Muller Group. I have a meeting with the CEO of the Spring Leaf Jewels Company today for a project collaboration. If not for the project, I wouldn't have come to the office today. I'd rather stay at home, thinking about Solana and reflecting on my mistakes last night. Damn! The wound in my face is proof that I became a jackass."Sir, the meeting will start in fifteen minutes," Zach informed me.I just nodded and heaved a sigh. If not for the Chairman of the SLJ Company, I won't be here today. It's just that he personally requested me to attend the conference.I got out of the car and went to the private ele
Solana's POVI entered our unit while stretching my neck. I'm tired and starving and I smelled something delicious as soon as I entered the house. I blinked thrice and found Jordan in the kitchen. He's cooking steak and it smells so delicious.I stared at him. He's so busy cooking that failed to notice my presence immediately. If I didn't clear my throat, he wouldn't be informed about my arrival.He looked at me and smiled a little. "Hey! Have you eaten?"I shook my head and smiled. "Not yet."He nodded and I think my answer lightened up his mood since his smile became wide. "Sit down. I'm almost finished."Without answering, I went to the dining set to sit while waiting for him to finish his cooking."How's work?" He asked while preparing the table. I pulled myself up to help him, but he held my hand and shook his head. "You're tired, let me do this."I stared at his face. He looks tired too, but I just allowed him to do what he wants. He seemed to notice me staring at him and he mis
Solana's POVI looked at Jordan after he stopped kissing my face. He smiled at me and caressed my cheeks. "Do you like it?"I squinted my eyes at him. "Jordan, is this a real diamond? It cost a fortune. Did you spend all your savings in this?"He pressed his lips together and shook his head. He took the ring from the velvet box and slowly slipped the ring on my finger. "This isn't genuine, babe. Don't worry, I won't lose all my money."I heaved a sigh of relief. He, then, chuckled and kissed the ring on my finger and pulled me closer. He tilted his head to kiss my lips again. He pressed it for a series of seconds. He pressed it a lil hard. I thought he's gonna force me again but he didn't. He pulled away after he's content with the kiss and smiled at me."We're good now. We're gonna date again on Sunday, right?" He asked, staring at me so intensely.I chuckled at him. "We just missed one Sunday."He frowned as his forehead creased. "Even so. You always spend your Sunday with me. You s
Solana's POVI was sitting on my swivel chair while staring at the monitor of my computer, looking at the design I made. I don't know what's wrong with my design. Miss Wong said she likes it. I even saw her smile after she saw my design. Shun, Helena and Warren even praise me for being good, so I don't see any reason why the client rejected my design.I felt Helena's hand caressing my arm. "You okay, Sol?"Heaving a sigh, I looked at her and shook my head. "What's wrong with my design, Helena? Was it too much? Or does it lack something?"Helena frowned. "Don't think that way, Sol. The problem was the client. Not your design."I lifted my chin when Miss Wong rose from her seat after talking to someone over the phone. She walked towards mer, hands inside the pocket of her coat."Can you redesign it, Miss Stone?" She asked, obviously annoyed by something. I don't know if she's annoyed with me or what but that's not my problem anymore.I stared into her eyes. "Can you help me, Miss Wong?
Solana's POV"Is there an issue between you and Miss Agatha?" Miss Wong asked while we're inside the elevator.I heaved a sigh and slowly nodded at her. "Yes. She's my… uhm sister. We never get along, so yeah…"She stared at me for a series of seconds and then she nodded. "That explains your last names. She's so unprofessional, Solana. I pity you for having to endure her bitchy attitude."I chewed my bottom lip. I couldn't agree more. Agatha is just so annoying. She's so eager to ruin me that she's willing to do anything as she pleased. And that Mr. Carter. Damn! I hate him for being unprofessional.After we got out of the building, Miss Wong turned to me. "I need to meet another client. So, I'll just drop you off at the company."I quickly shook my head and smiled. "It's fine, ma'am. I can just take a cab."Her eyebrow shot up. I can still see her annoyance because of what happened inside.I nodded at her. "Yes, ma'am. I can manage."She just nodded and turned her back on me. I just
Solana's POVMiss Wong talked to me. She told me that we had no choice but to choose a different design. I understand it and I'm not mad. I'm just sad because of what happened. It's all because of Agatha.I watched Miss Wong walked towards Warren. She still have this intimidating aura but actually kind. I admire her too."Warren, come with me. Bring your design," Miss Wong said, shocking Warren.I saw Helena glanced at me. Even Shun stopped what he's printing after he heard that.Warren pulled himself up, still shocked. "But, Miss Wong. I thought you chose Sol's design?"Miss Wong's face went blank. "Just do what you are told, Warren. Let's go."Miss Wong left without looking at anyone of us. Warren then glanced at me as if asking for a permission. I nodded and smiled at him. He left, following Miss Wong after that and I just heaved a sigh.Shun and Helena went to me with a shock written on their faces."What was that, Sol? It should be your design, right?" Helena asked, frustrated.I
Scott's POV"Miss Agatha?" I called her again, raising an eyebrow. "So, what is your position in this company?"She slowly shook her head, feeling so awkward as she did everything to avoid my gaze. "I-I don't have a position."The corner of my lips rose as I nodded and stared at her face. "You don't have any position in this company, thus, that means you don't have any say in everything. You can't dictate anyone nor decide on which design should be used."Her face showed combined fury and shame. She angrily growled… "I will tell this to Rome!"So dumb! She's amusing me with her dumbness.I nodded and crossed my arms. "Go ahead and tell him, Miss Agatha. Tell him that I insulted you and I should be punished. I would wait gladly.""Screw you! I'll make sure to make you pay," she cursed and stormed out of the conference room angrily.I sat on the chair and looked at Alexandra and Warren. The latter was looking at me with amusement while Alexandra grinned at me. She sat across and shot an
Jordan's POV"Mr. President is here!"I looked at the woman who spoke and giggled. Her face was so red and she looked like she's about to pass out. I just shook my head and continued walking while carrying a box of pancakes. Solana texted me saying she wants pancakes, so here I am, being a good husband.I smiled but my smile faded when I noticed the people around watching me.This is crazy! I don't know when the truth about me spread all over the company but it's making me so annoyed. My employees are almost worshiping me.I stopped in front of the Design Team's office. I saw my wife working on her table. I told her not to work anymore but she's so stubborn"Hi, Mr. Evans!" Helena, Solana's friend in the team greeted me.I just nodded at her and entered the department. Alexandra grinned at me but I just ignored her. I went straight to my wife's place and kissed her cheek.She smiled at me. "Hey! Where's my pancake?"I put the paper bag on the table. "Here's your delivery, miss beautif
Jordan's POVI gently put Solana on the bed while kissing her lips passionately. I can stop looking at her beautiful face. I can't keep my distance from her. I can't live a day without her anymore. When she ran away from me that night in the hotel, I was broken. My world crashed. It was so painful seeing her running away from me. It was so painful to see her cry. It almost wrecked me. It was a nightmare and I don't wanna experience that kind of feeling again."You are so handsome," she whispered and caressed my cheek after our lips parted.I smiled at her and swiftly pressed my lips against hers again. "You're beautiful. We're even."She chuckled and wrapped her arms around my neck. I lay on the bed beside her. She's still wearing her wedding dress. Her flush face was so close to me and I can't resist her charms, I'm kissing her again."You're mine, Jordan. You're really mine. I'm so happy."I smiled and nodded. I am so happy too, my wife. You're like an impossible dream came true. Yo
Solana's POVThe night before our wedding, we reached the private island that Jordan rented for us. We rode a private chopper. We came here late, our friends came here first this afternoon using a yacht and now, I came here with my handsome husband. It's already 6PM. The night breeze was cold yet relaxing. I can feel the wind hugging my body as I was only wearing a sleeveless white long dress."OMG! They're so beautiful to watch!" It was Hershey who's watching us with our friends.Jordan is carrying me towards them. I was hugging my husband's nape while staring at his handsome face. My heart has been beating so loud and fast. I can't take my eyes off of him.Jordan kissed my temple before he put me down. I smiled at Hershey, Shun, Helena, Warren, Zach, Scott and Miss Wong. I didn't know Miss Wong was friends with Scott. It's really shocking as Miss Wong was cold towards everyone."How's everything?" Jordan asked Zach, who immediately took a step forward. He's so formal."Everything's
Solana's POV"So, partly, I pretended to be poor so my fiancèe would refuse to marry me," Jordan continued telling me his story.We're on the bed. He's leaning his back on the headboard, while I'm leaning my back on his chest. I was sitting between his parted legs, his arms wrapped around my waist while his hands were resting against my belly."My father's biological family can't accept me and my father can't do anything. In Fact, he's just like Robert Stone. He's like a puppet," he added.I heaved a sigh and started playing with the hair on his arms."Why won't you tell the world that you're the President of the Muller Group? Why are you hiding the fact that you're the son of a respectable businesswoman?" I asked in curiosity."My mom was hated by many for being a mistress, Solana," he answered and paused. "She doesn't want the people to treat me badly. She doesn't want them to look down on me just because she's a mistress. But my father's biological family found out. The only thing
Solana's POV"What took you so long? I'm so excited to dance!" Helena said after I arrived at our meeting place. I smiled at Shun and Hershey."Warren's in the bar already," Shun said, making me crease my forehead."Warren?"Hershey wrapped her arm around my arm. "Warren was the one who suggested a place. He said he's going there with his cousin. OMG, Sol! He said he's gonna introduce us to his guy friends."I just nodded. We rode two taxis to reach our destination. I stared at the newly opened bar while Helena was the one who's paying the taxi fares. I chewed my bottom lip and looked at the man who just entered the bar. He has the same hairstyle as Jordan so I got nervous for a second. Crazy!"Come on! Let's party!" Hershey screamed excitedly.I smiled as she dragged me inside the bar. Shun and Helena followed us.The loud music, disco lights and cigarette's smoke welcomed me. I'm not a party girl, but this place somehow made me smile. I never had the chance to enjoy my teenage life
Jordan's POVI begged Martha Dawson. She's watching me with pity in her eyes but I don't care. I've been searching for my wife for two days and I'm dying of pain and regrets for two consecutive days. I thought I could find her using my power and money, but I was wrong. Money will never work on something priceless.It's so painful. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about her. I can see her in every corner of our house and it's breaking me. It sounds so gay but I'd always end up shedding tears while staring at her spot in our bed.Martha Dawson heaved a sigh. She stared into my eyes. "Jordan, right?"I nodded and sniffed. Damn! I want to cry again. This is insane!She gently caressed my hair. "Jordan, Solana told me everything. She's hurt."I looked down. "I'm sorry.""Solana is a kind woman, Jordan. She must've lied to you but she did that to save me. I was the reason behind everything, so I'm sorry."I shook my head and smiled at her. Damn! She's just as kind as my wife. "You
Solana's POVI chewed my bottom lip. I want to deny the suspicions in my head. I don't wanna entertain Pierce's words. Hell, I don't even wanna think about it but I'm too scared and confused. I wanna believe Jordan but I haven't heard his side. I don't even know much about him and it scares me more."Sol?"I lifted my face and met Hershey's curious eyes. She immediately went to me. "Are you okay? Why are you still here?"It's already 7 PM and I stayed here in the company to write my resignation letter. I know it's impulsive but if I confirmed the suspicions in my mind and Pierce's words, I will leave. I will need time for myself.Hershey caressed my back. "Are you okay? Your eyes are swollen."I smiled at her and hugged her. "I need to go somewhere, Hershey."She nodded. "Do you want me to accompany you?"I shook my head. Hershey seemed worried but I don't wanna disturb her. I hailed a can to reach the luxurious hotel where Jordan wants to meet me. I kept on swallowing hard. I kept on
Solana's POVI was standing in front of Robert Stone who's kneeling before me. We're here in the police station to file a case against Lolita Stone and the two guys he paid to harm me. I was expecting Robert Stone to wake up from his senses but I just failed my own hopes. He will never change at all."Please, Sol. Please, please! Forgive your mom. She's still your mom."I looked away as tears pooled at the corner of my eyes. I saw Jordan watching me from afar. He's talking to the Captain but his eyes are on me."Sol…" Robert Stone squeezed my hands, still begging.I looked at him. I was used to hiding my emotions from them, but today, I couldn't hide it. I stared at him with nothing but pain and disappointment."D-Dad…" After so many years, I addressed him like that again and I felt him freeze as his lips parted.Oh, God! Why is it painful to call him that?I laughed without humor and shook my head. "I missed that."He caressed my hands again and kissed them. "I'm sorry… I'm sorry, So
Solana's POVI was watching Jordan as he prepared the bed. He's been taking care of me ever since I woke up last night in the hospital. He's not saying anything but I know something is going on inside his head. I know him very well. I know he's angry about what happened. Who wouldn't? Even I felt so angry and disgusted. I can still feel those dirty bastard's hands on my body. It's so traumatizing but I'm keeping my courage since I know that Jordan is affected. He must be so worried. Silly me! Of course, he's worried. He loves me. I know. He told me."Come here, Solana. You have to sleep early. Don't think of anything." Jordan's voice was sweet and soothing.I stared at him while I sat on the bed. He pulled the blanket and put it over my body. He sat beside me and looked at me. "Lay on the bed."I shook my head. "I'm not sleepy yet."He nodded and held my hand instead. He caressed them and kissed the back of it. "I'm sorry…""For what?""For coming late."Late. He wasn't late. He came
