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
Solana's POV"What happened?" Jordan asked while staring into my eyes. He's obviously worried and he was waiting for me in front of our apartment building.I swallowed hard the same time I poured my courage into words. "I want you to come with me, Jordan. I will tell you something."He nodded as his eyes softened even more. "You're worrying me so much, Solana."I pointed at his motorcycle. "Let's ride your motorcycle. Let's go to the Stone's mansion.""Why?""Just do what I want, Jordan," I said with desperation. I need to teach Lolita a lesson. They f-cking need to realize that I'm not gonna let her or them aggrieve me again.Jordan sighed heavily and nodded. "Wait here. I'll just get the key and the helmets."I played with my fingers while waiting for him. I'm so nervous now. He might get angry but I don't have a choice, besides, telling him the truth will set me free. I don't have to pretend anymore. I can finally say or do whatever I want, freely, without considering acting like A
Solana's POVI kept on glancing at Jordan while we were entering our apartment. He locked the door and faced me, making me look away.I cleared my throat. "I-I'm sorry…"He stared at my face, completely silent. I don't know what he's thinking but there's only way I can make up with him. I looked at him and spoke again. "I-I'll leave after I pack my things. J-Just send me the d-divorce papers—""What made you think I'll divorce you?" He asked, irritation is visible in his voice.My lips parted and I swallowed hard. "I l-lied to you."He heaved a sigh and walked towards me. I was moved when he closed the distance between us. He hugged me tight, so tight while kissing my head. I ended up shedding tears again.He caressed my hair softly and whispered… "As long as you want to stay with me, we won't divorce.""W-What?" My breathing hitched."The decision is yours, Solana. If you still want me, nothing will change."My heart raced because of what he said. I hugged him back. I hugged him tigh
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
