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 POVI was massaging my nose bridge while biting my bottom lip. I'm inside my office in the company. I kept on thinking about what happened tomorrow. I was really planning to tell the truth to my wife but she got me with her courage of revealing the truth about her. She was so courageous and I wish I also have the courage to tell her now about my real identity. I badly want to tell her the truth but I'm scared and worried. Worried because she still have problems and I don't wanna put more pressure and burden on her. And I'm scared because I know she'll get mad at me because compared to her lies, my lies were heavier.I heaved a sigh and lifted my face when someone knocked on the door thrice. Zach entered after a few seconds. He immediately bowed to greet me and stood before my table."Sir, I already called the CEO's of the Companies that are in partnership with the Stone's family business. They're now contacting the family to terminate the partnership."A smirk curved in my li
