Solana's POVI walked towards Jordan and tiptoed to kiss his cheek. He just stared at me with nothing on his expression."Sorry, I came home late," I whispered as I watched him stare at my face. Is he jealous? Probably, but there's nothing to feel jealous about."Why are you so late? It's almost midnight." His voice was cold and he's obviously pissed.I heaved a sigh and caressed his cheek. I tiptoed again and kissed him on the lips as I whispered. "Are you jealous? He's Pierce Adams, my workmate. He offered to give me a ride since it's yeah…it's almost midnight."I chewed my bottom lip as I watched his expression soften. "So, why did you come home so late?""Something happened," I started as we walked upstairs. "I almost got arrested because of shoplifting. Luckily, the truth has been revealed."He stopped and faced me. "Shoplifting?""Yeah. My ex workmate put something very expensive in my bag and I was accused of shoplifting."He clenched his jaws as his expression darkened again.
Solana's POVI chewed my bottom lip while staring at the letter and the invitation that Mr. Muller gave me. Miss Wong handed it to me, saying Mr. Muller wants me to attend a masquerade themed business party later. I'm shocked and nervous, so I decided to go home and invite Jordan to come with me since Miss Wong reminded me that I can bring someone as my date. She even gave me a mask for male and female which I can use to attend the party.When I entered the unit, the bathroom door swung open at the same time. My lips parted after I saw Jordan step out of the bathroom. A black towel was wrapped around his waist while he's drying his wet hair using another towel. His well-built body was exposed so as his v-line.I gasped as my gaze fixed to his sexy body. His abs. His hard chest. His muscles are in the right places. He looked like a sculpture."Babe."I choked and coughed after he called my name. He walked towards me and searched for my eyes. His forehead was creased as he stared at my
Solana's POVWe stopped in front of a fancy hotel building. I lifted my face and stared at the tall building in front. It was huge. It was a beautiful building. I felt Jordan's hand held mine. In the middle of the night, under the moonlight, we stood in front of the skyscraper.Jordan pointed at the top floor of the building. "Do you wanna go there?"There? At the top floor? I want that too but I don't think we will be given the privilege to do so. Besides, we can't even afford the lowest cost hotel room in this fancy hotel.I looked at Jordan and laughed. "It's not like we will be given a chance do that."He shrugged his shoulder. "That's not impossible."My lips parted as I imagined us sneaking onto the rooftop of the hotel building in the middle of the night. Us together, it will be extra romantic.I chewed my bottom lip and shrugged the thought off of my mind. I slapped his arm. "Silly. Let's go."We entered the hotel and a female staff welcomed us in the lobby. She assisted us un
Jordan's POVI was intently watching Solana while Scott was introducing her to a group of famous designers. I told him to brag about Solana's skills and incredible sense of design not to show them that Muller Group has someone like her, but to build her name in this world. She deserves the best. She deserves everything and I will give it to her.Sipping on my drinks, I was standing at the corner of the hall, still wearing my mask as I can't risk getting caught. People here might recognize me, so I'd endure this irritating mask from Alexandra Wong."Hi."Someone approached me. I looked at the woman with a very revealing dress. She's also wearing a half mask and she's smiling seductively. What?"From what company are you? I'm from Glamora Designs."I stared at her, refusing to answer. She's obviously hitting on me and I don't like it.She chuckled and offered a handshake. "My name's Elvira."I just nodded at her and looked at Solana's direction again. My lips parted after I caught her s
Solana's POV"Drag her out!" It was Mr. Merlin who ordered the guards to drag Agatha out. Everything was a mess now but I wasn't paying attention as my gaze were fixed to Jordan. He was gently wiping my shoulders and neck using a black handkerchief."Let me go!"I looked at Agatha who's struggling to free herself. She was glaring at me."Let me go! F-ck you, ugly bastards!"I just shook my head. She's hopeless. I guess, she deserves what Jordan did to her.Jordan's jaw clenched as he wiped my cheek and met my eyes. "Let's go."Jordan held my hand and was about to pull me way but Mr. Merlin stopped us."Wait!"I faced Mr. Merlin as Jordan squeezed my hand. I smiled at him apologetically. "Sorry about that."Mr. Merlin shook his head. "I'll call someone to assist you. You need to change, Miss Stone."I pressed my lips together and pulled Jordan's suit to squeeze my body. I shook my head. "No, sir. We will go home.""Please?" Mr. Merlin glanced at Jordan. "You have to enjoy the night, Mi
Solana's POV"Whoa!" My lips formed an O after we reached the rooftop. I can almost see the whole town. The buildings are so fascinating to stare at. The lights are beautiful.I run to the side and put my elbow on the railing. I rested my chin on my palms as I watched the beautiful scenery. I was right. Being in a place like this is amazing. I would love to live at the highest floor of a building so I can see this kind of view everyday.I felt Jordan's presence behind me. He put his coat over my shoulder and hugged me from behind, protecting me from the cold breeze of the night.Smiling, I rested the back of my head against his chest. He, then, rested his chin on my right shoulder, hugging me tighter."Magnificent," he whispered as he nuzzled his nose in the side of my neck."What?""Having you in my arms. It's so magnificent and I'm so honored to hold you like this," he answered while sniffing my neck.I tilted my head. What he's doing is tickling me, so I forced to face him even and
Solana's POV"Keep it."My jaw almost dropped after I read Mr. Muller's response. I exert so much effort to compose a long message convincing him to take the gifts back but that is his response. His effortless reply made me frown.I typed in another message insisting to return the gifts but my eyes widened when he sent me an angry emoji. What the… After the emoji, a message followed saying… 'It's a gift. Accept it, Solana. And if you ever encounter another problem or anything, don't hesitate to tell me. I'll help you.'I was unable to reply anymore. What he said got me tongue-tied. I don't understand why my eyes couldn't leave my name on his message. Why do I feel something unexplainable? Why do I feel like him calling my name seems so familiar even if it's just through a message?I shook my head and shrugged the thought off of my mind. Mr. Muller is confusing me."Hey, Sol!"I quickly closed the tab and faced Helena. She's smiling from ear to ear. "Guess what?"I smiled. "What?""I'm
Solana's POVI got a call from the hospital saying they found a matching liver for Martha. I'm so happy and excited but scared at the same time. She's going to have the operation but my money is still not enough. If I can get the money that the Stone family promised me, Martha can do the transplant today."You can't enter, ma'am. I'm sorry."I glared at the maid who's blocking my way. "Get out of my way or I'll punch you right on your face. You choose."She shook her head, scared. "But, ma'am…""Go away!" I growled at her and she stepped back like a scared animal.I rolled my eyes and successfully entered the mansion but Lolita welcomed me with a slap. She glared at me and shouted. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE AGAIN? I ALREADY GAVE YOU MONEY!"I laughed sarcastically. "It's not enough and the bags you gave me are fakes. Now, give me the remaining amount you promised and I will leave.""No!" She exclaimed and angrily pointed at the door. "Leave before I drag you out!"I shook my head and c
