Alton's POVJust like I promised I accompanied them to the shop that Olivia is talking about.After an hour of driving we arrived.I have a different plan for my weekend but here I am now sitting on the couch while waiting for the girls to pick their dresses.I let out a deep breath and then took one of the magazines above the table.I started flipping pages and I swallowed hard when I saw Solana's picture holding a liquor topless and the only thing that covers her upper body is her arm."Does it look okay?" I immediately put the magazine down when I heard her voice.I steal some glances and when I saw her wearing a green gown that perfectly hugs her body I can't help but stare.Solana is busy staring at the mirror but after a while, she saw my reflection.Solana stared at my reflection intently and I did the same but our gazes wear tear off when Olivia spoke."Babe, what do you think of this one?" Olivia asked so I turned my head at her.Olivia looks beautiful in her blue gown but the
Solana's POVDinner came and I never thought that the conversation will revolve around me."Can I have your schedule, Solana?" Timothy asked.My forehead creased when I heard that question."I'm sorry, what for?" I politely asked."So we can schedule your training without comprising your work. I don't want to steal your life from you but you have to learn how to run our retail company, right Alicia?" Timothy looked at my mother and without any hesitation, my mother smiled at Timothy and nod her head."Give it to your Dad Solana," my mother uttered and she is not asking for a favour, it was more of a command."I'll ask Kris to send me a copy," I responded which made Timothy smile."Who will train me by the way?" I asked."Your brother, Alton," he responded which made my eyes widen."Don't you have other employees to train me?" I asked.Timothy looked at me completely confused and when I turned my head on my mother she looks at me with her right eyebrows slightly raised."Why? What's wr
Alton's POVJust like what I promised to my father I started training Solana. I pick her up during her free time and it was such a huge hassle for me but I have no choice. I need to do this."I'm sorry the shoot took longer than I expected," she apologized upon stepping inside my car."Fix your schedule so you won't waste my time," I responded before starting the engine."Okay. I'm sorry," she repeated but it was no longer sincere. It is more of a sarcastic type of apology.After that none of us dared to talk until we reached the company.Upon stepping inside the employees greeted us but I didn't bother to respond, Solana, on the other hand, smiled at them and even wave back."They are not your fans," I reminded her but she just rolled her eyes."I'm just being friendly Alton, I don't want to be rude like you," she responded, mocking me.I didn't bother to defend myself, she is right anyway.When we reach my mother's office I noticed some changes. Some of the furniture is new and they
Solana's POV Morning came and upon stepping out of my room I bumped into Alton in the hallway."Good morning," I awkwardly Alton."Good morning Solana," Timothy greeted me as well when he saw me.I smiled at him and then nod my head."Good morning Dad," I greeted back."Where's Mom?" I asked when I didn't see her at the table."She left early to meet her friends," he responded so I simply nod my head and occupied the seat across from Alton."How's your training Solana?" he asked so I lift my head and look at him."Alton is a great teacher Dad. He explained everything clearly," I responded then turned my head to Alton who is already looking at me. I smiled at him but he looked away and focus his attention on his food."Alton is a great businessman Solana. He started from scratch. He built his company without my help and looked at him now, he became the most successful hotelier," Alton lift his head and then looked at his father. I saw happiness in his eyes. Timothy on the other hand
Alton's POVI patiently waited for her response. She looks torn while shifting her head on me and then to Jeremiah.After a while, she decided to speak."Why don't we have lunch together?" she suggested and I already hate that idea."That's fine with me," Jeremiah responded so I have no choice but to agree.We stepped out of the studio and even though I can't see my face I know it can't be painted."You don't have to bring your car Solana, I will give you a ride," Jeremiah offered. I looked at Solana and before she gave her answer she looked at me. I raised my eyebrows while looking her directly in the eyes."Thank you, Jeremiah but I'll bring my car," she responded and I can help but smile hearing her response.The irritation that I am feeling earlier subsided when I heard her rejecting Jeremiah's offer.Before I stepped inside my car I looked at Jeremiah."You okay?" I asked obviously to tease him.Jeremiah scoff and then glared at me."You are getting in my way bro," he responded b
Solana's POVAfter dinner, we headed home. I thought Mom and Timothy are already asleep but when we arrived we saw them in the living room watching a TV show.I walked towards them and then kissed their cheeks to greet them. Alton on the other hand simply nods his head."It's already late where have you been?" Timothy asked looking at me and then at Alton."We decided to have dinner before heading home Dad," I responded.Timothy nod his head and then looked at Alton."I am glad you are finally getting close," he said and I can hear the happiness in his tone."I want both of you to have a sibling bond. Alton grew up as an only child, I can still remember him asking for a little sister, I hope I am not late in fulfilling your wish son," Timothy uttered while looking at his son with a genuine smile plastered on his face.Alton simply nods his head."You should rest, you look tired," Timothy added so Alton excused himself and headed towards his room.I was about to leave as well when my m
Alton's POVIt's been two hours but Solana and Olivia are still in the middle of choosing their dresses.I looked at my wrist watch and it is already 5 PM."How long do you plan to stay here?" I asked. Olivia looked at me and then flashed a sweet smile."Five minutes babe," she said then stepped inside the fitting room.I let out a deep breath and then turned my head on Solana who is already looking at me but when I caught her she immediately looked away then stepped inside the fitting room."Solana is a great person Alton," Kris uttered out of nowhere that caught my attention so I looked at her completely confused."She always put others before herself. She is too kind. Too fragile," she added looking at me directly in the eyes with a genuine smile plastered on her face."Why are you telling me this?" I asked because I can't fully understand where this conversation is going."So you won't hurt her, she has suffered enough Alton," she uttered then focused her eyes on the dressing room
Solana's POVI knew he planned this.The way he holds his smile while his index finger brushes his lower lip. The way he swiftly turns the steering wheel using his one hand.He looks extremely in a good mood and it made everything suspicious.When he turned his head to my side he raised his eyebrow."What?" he asked still suppressing his smile."You told our driver to bring my car to an auto repair shop right?" I asked even though I already knew the answer."Yes, what is wrong with that?" he asked. I looked at him in disbelief."I just have it checked this morning," I said but he just shrugged his shoulder."I didn't know," he cooly responded and it irritates me even more."I know that was intentional," I said but he just shrugged his shoulder again."I fucking hate you, Alton," I said in an irritated tone but he just chuckled.We are always like this, sometimes we are on good terms but most of the time we fight.After a few minutes, the car stopped and upon looking outside I saw a h
