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
Rome's POVI grabbed and pulled my hair in frustration. Agatha just told me that she had an argument with the Vice President of the Muller Group and it's making me so f-cking scared. I have no power against him as he was the second hand of the powerful and ruthless tycoon.I jumped in shock after my phone rang. I cursed under my breath as I saw the name of the Chairman on the screen. F-ck! This is Agatha's fault."Hon…"I ignored Agatha and answered the Chairman's call. "Hello, Mr. Chairman?"[Did you or did you not let your girlfriend step into our business with the Muller Group?]I swallowed hard in shock. I let Agatha intervene and hold the decision about the project so she can be happy but I didn't know that it would reach the Chairman. He scolded me for being unreliable. He even demoted me which shocked me to the point that I was unable to defend myself until he dropped the call."Hon…" Agatha called my name and tried to touch me but I pushed her to the floor with a furious face.
Solana's POV"Your hair is so soft," Jordan commented while he's blow drying my hair. I was drying my hair when he offered to help and I allowed him. I've been watching him through the mirror the whole time. He really looked so serious with what he's doing. I smiled and chewed my bottom lip while watching him. He's just so caring. Should I tell him about my secret now? I don't wanna lie to him anymore.I heaved a sigh when I remembered what happened to me. I was kicked out from the project. It really hurts. I have so many problems."You should smile, Solana," Jordan whispered to my ear after he leaned towards me. "I like your smile."He squatted beside me and picked a lipstick. He then gently grabbed my jaw and made me face him. He stared at my lips. "Let me do this."I laughed, causing him to freeze. He stared at me with a creased forehead. "What?"I grinned. "I feel like you're a beautician."He frowned and glared at me. "I'm too manly to be a beautician. Look at my large frame. It
Scott's POVI started coughing after I realized what she just said. Wow! She was looking down at me while I continued coughing, gripping on my table. I feel like I'm dying now. I can feel my blood rushing through my veins and my neck feels so hot. F-ck!Thankfully, I was able to recover from my cough before I die here. I lifted my face and stared back at Solana. "What?""Do you like me?"I gasped and cursed in my head. She really asked again. Damn! Jordan will kill me. That lunatic will think that I'm seducing his wife. It's so hard to be so handsome.I heaved a sigh and massaged my temple. Clearing my throat, I looked at her again. "What… made you think that I'm interested in you? Don't get me wrong. It's just so… So, what gives you an idea of that thought?"She shook her head. "You've been favoring me, sir."I sucked my breath and slowly nodded. Okay! That's reasonable. She would really think that I like her 'cause I've been interfering with her life. But hey! That's because her lun
Solana's POVI was staring at the air while sitting on my chair. Now that I have calmed down, I realized what I have done. I just suspected the Vice President of the Muller Group and accused him of wanting me secretly. Gosh! I must've gone insane! What if he fires me? No! I need to save my dignity. I need to apologize for what I did. Why am I so careless and impulsive?"Sol!"I lifted my face and saw Helena looking at me. Behind her was Hershey, who's grinning from ear to ear. What? Did they hear what I did?I swallowed hard and turned to Shun and Warren. They're all looking at me."Come on! You're gonna treat us tonight," Helena excitedly exclaimed while giggling.Oh! That was it? I thought they heard about what I did. But… Did I agree to treat them tonight? I can't remember. I need to save money, so I think I'll have to refuse tonight.Scratching the back of my head, I looked at them. "Uh… Can we postpone it? I promise I'll treat you next time. We can even have a drink."Helena squi
Solana's POVI was slapping my cheeks, waking myself up. I spent three days working on my design for the project collaboration with the SLJ Company. I was unable to sleep properly, nor eat. I don't even have time to do the house chores. It was always Jordan, who's doing everything in the house."What happened to your eyes?"I looked at Shun, who put a cup of coffee on my table. I smiled at him. "Thanks for the coffee."He nodded and sat on his chair which was across from me. He cocked an eyebrow. "You have dark circles around your eyes, Sol. Have you been working overnight?""Kind of. I need to work hard since this is my first project."He nodded and smiled. "You're one hell of a designer, Sol. I believe you'd be one of the top designers this year. I won't even doubt if you get promoted within a year of working here," he paused and chuckled. "… You can replace Miss Wong."My eyes widened and I looked around. He laughed hard and I just shook my head in disbelief. This guy!Miss Wong ca
Solana's POVI angrily rolled my eyes after I blocked Hans' number on my phone. He keeps on calling me and it's irritating the hell out of me. He cheated on me. He betrayed me and he doesn't have the right to ask me for another chance. He won't be needing another chance if he didn't break my heart. He was the reason behind our break up and he can't just do what he wants.Dropping my phone on the kitchen sink, I thought of the days I spent with Jordan. He helped me. He unknowingly helped me move on and I owe him big time for that.I glanced at the wall clock and heaved a sigh, realizing it's already midnight and Jordan hasn't home yet. He called me three hours ago saying he'd come home late.I smiled as I continued baking cookies. I missed Jordan. We haven't talked for a while now. I've been very busy with the project and I want to make it up to him.A few minutes later, the door swung open. Jordan entered and he immediately went to me. He hugged me from the back and kissed my cheek as
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
