Alton's POVCold breeze.Sound of waves.Beautiful sunset.And Solana.I wouldn't complain if I would spend the rest of my life here...as long as she's with me.We can build a family here.I am tired of living in the city anyway. I want peace."Let's live here?" I asked while gently caressing her hair.Solana turned her gaze at me and looked at me directly in the eyes. "Are you sure?" she asked.I smiled at her and nodded my head. "Let's raise our kids here. We'll watch them play at the beach. Creating sand castles while we are having our morning coffee and when night comes we can have a bonfire,"Her soft laughter filled my ear. "You plan everything out?" she asked.I smiled at her and gently held her hand. "It's has been my dream when I met you,"I planted a soft kiss on her lips before turning my gaze back to the ocean.After a while, Mary called us for dinner.We walked towards their house and upon seeing their table I couldn't help but be amazed at all the food they had prepared.
Solana's POVI watched her as she walked towards us.I can't believe she's here."Why are you here?" I asked not because I didn't want her here but because I was shocked that she managed to go to Massachusetts without telling me."I want to see you bitch," she said then pulled me into a tight hug.When Kris broke off the hug she stared at my face intently. "I'm happy for you," she said with tears forming in the corner of her eyes.I know she is. She has seen how much I suffered when I tried to hide my relationship with Alton.She held my hand and gently squeezed it before turning her head on Alton. "I'm happy for you too Alton," Alton nodded his head and smiled at Kris. I know Kris witnessed how Alton suffered when I went missing for five years.She was there to help Alton cope. She became our anchor during the worst times.She was there to help Alton find me and to make Alton feel that he wasn't alone in believing that I was still alive."It happened so suddenly and I didn't get th
Solana's POVHappiness. Contentment. Love.That's what I felt as I walked down the aisle.A smile is formed on my lips while tears are about to fall from my eyes.I can feel my heart swell in happiness. Everything looks perfect.Everyone close to our hearts is here witnessing how we will be finally joined in front of God.It was no longer forbidden. We no longer have to hide. We finally found our freedom to love each other without any limitations.It took us everything to get here.I lost my career when I allowed myself to be drawn to the fire of our forbidden love.My mother whom I tried to please my whole life disown me.I lost my friends.My fame.My money.My success.But I found myself.I found peace.I found happiness.When I lost everything and I was on my downfall I thought I was being punished but little did I know God was redirecting me. He is making me realize what I want in life.It's not other people's attention nor the blinding spotlight but peace and a life filled with
Alton's POVI still feel like I am living in a dream.Everything feels too good to be true.I just imagined this to happen and now that it finally came true I feel the happiest.Waking up every morning and being greeted by my wife's beautiful face always put a smile on my face.She looks angelic to look at and I will never get tired of staring at her.The sun is already shining brightly but I am still lying on our bed waiting for Solana to wake up.When I saw her slowly open her eyes my smile grew wider."Good morning," I greeted the moment her eyes met mine.She smiled back at me and stared at my face for quite some time."Good morning," she greeted back.I gently caressed her face and kissed her lips softly."What do you want for breakfast?" I asked.She paused and thought for a while before her lips rose for a smile. She must have thought of something she had been craving to eat."I want avocado toast with lots of strawberries,"I looked at her in disbelief but I guess I need to ge
Solana's POVI felt a cold breeze brush my skin as I walked on the shore.The wind brushed my hair and every time I felt its soft embrace I was at peace.It was the usual morning.Crystal blue water.Cold breeze.Fresh air.And them. My family.When I saw my daughter waving her hands at me I waved back and walked towards them a smile never left my lips."Hi Mommy," she happily uttered when I sat beside her father.I opened my arms and the moment I did that she immediately sat on my lap leaving her father."You little traitor," Alton uttered as he playfully pinched Aisha's nose.Her giggles filled our ears. I hugged her tightly and showered her with kisses."Mommy it tickles," she said while laughing so I stopped and made her face me.I stared at her face and brushed off the strands of hair that covered her face."Are you ready to go to school?" I asked.She pouted her lips which made me smile.I can see that she is not yet ready to attend school but she's already four years old so she
Solana's POVThey always say that I have everything.My life is close to perfect but little did they know behind this mask the ugly truth hides.I have the beauty that everyone envies. A luxurious life that people dream to have...but they are wrong if they thought that I have everything because, behind this pretentious perfection, a woman who longs to be loved by her mother lies."I heard you are getting married," I uttered while looking at my mother who is busy fixing her make-up in front of the mirror."Yes," she responded without looking at me."Can I meet him?" I carefully asked and upon hearing my question she put her lipstick down and looked at me with irritation on her face."What for?" she asked. I shrugged my shoulder and then smiled at her."I just want to see the man you'll spend the rest of your life with," I simply responded. She scoffed then picked up her lipstick once again."Just attend my wedding. You don't have to meet him," she uttered and those words stab me in the
Alton's POV I stared at her face intently and I think I saw this face before.After a few minutes, I finally realized who she is. Solana Reev, daughter of Alicia Reev, the woman that my father fancied. The reason why my mother is removed from the picture.This woman must have gotten her mother's desperation."Who are you?" I asked acting clueless that I haven't had her background check. I know her too well."Solana Reev," she confidently uttered then extended her hand."Your place or mine?" I asked after hearing her name.I can imagine my father's horrified look once he found out that I slept with my soon-to-be step-sister."Your place," she responded without any hesitation so I nod my head and then threw the cigarette on the floor before walking towards my car.I opened the door on the driver's seat and then stepped inside. Solana on the other hand occupied the shotgun seat."Are you sure about this?" I asked before starting the engine. I looked at her intently and after a while, she
Solana's POVI felt my knees getting weak. One more step and my mother would see us but we are still standing close to each other, a few inches away and our lips would meet."Please..."I pleaded in a weak voice. I saw how he smirk but after a while, he loosened his hold before my mother could enter the kitchen.I immediately pushed him and faced my mother. I flashed a forced smile when our eyes met."I-I'll get going Mom," I uttered stuttering.My mother looked at me intently then shifted her gaze to Alton and when she did that I felt like my heart is coming off my chest."Have you properly introduced yourself to Alton?" she asked. I looked at Alton and then back at her. I slowly nod my head."Yes Mom," I responded."Good," she responded then looked at Alton smiling."I am glad that you are finally back. I heard what happened to your mother just tell me if you need any help I'll do anything to help you find her," my mother offered in a soft voice. Upon hearing my mother's words my mind
