Solana's POVAlton looked at me intently with amusement written on his face.The side of his lips rose, smiling at me and the longer I looked at him the more I realized that what I am doing is such an embarrassment.Before I could even speak I heard Olivia's voice and when I turned my head I saw her walking confidently towards us.When her eyes shifted on me her smile faded then rolled her eyes before bringing back her attention to Alton.When she reached our table she kissed Alton on the cheeks."Sorry to keep you waiting babe," she sweetly said then sat beside Alton and gave me a judgemental look.
Solana's POVI stand in front of Olivia and Alton, frozen, unable to walk away.Embarrassment filled me if I would see myself right now my face is probably red because of shame.I swallowed hard and I was about to excuse myself when I felt a gentle hand resting on the side of my waist."Is there something wrong Solana?" I heard Hunter's voice and I thank the heaven above when I felt his presence.I looked at Hunter then flashed a sweet smile."No, I just said hi to my step-brother, Alton and his girlfriend, Olivia," I introduced them like we are on good terms.Hunter smiled at them and then extended his hand."Hunter Sullivan, it is nice finally meeting you, Alton. Uncle Timothy always mentions you," Hunter casually said.Alton smiled at him and then simply nod his head."I hope he used some good words," Alton said with a playful smile plastered on his face."He is proud of you. He always tells us how you build an empire without his help," Hunter said and when I looked at Alton I saw
Solana's POVAlton looked at Hunter intently then after a while he let out a deep breath and flashed an awkward smile."I never expected him to say that," he said with disbelief still written on his face."He is proud of you Alton," Hunter repeated with a genuine smile on his face.When I turned my head on Alton once again I saw happiness in his eyes though he tries to suppress his smile his eyes tell everything."T-Thank you," he said unsure if those are the right words to say."It's nothing," Hunter simply replied then turned his head on me then back to Alton."Are we interrupting something?" he asked after a while."No, it's fine. You can join us if you want?" Olivia offered smiling at us sweetly but I can still see her bitchy attitude.I can tell those smiles meant something.Hunter who is clueless about what is going on between me and Olivia looked at me with all smiles asking for my opinion he looks happy at the idea of having lunch with Olivia and Alton so I have no choice but
Solana's POVWe are still sharing the same table eating our lunch and everything felt heavy or is it just me because Hunter and Olivia seem fine and the only problem is me and Alton and the way he looks at me?I looked away instead of looking at Alton. I did my best to ignore him but my eyes always betrayed me. I can't help but take a glance at his side and he always caught me looking.When I can no longer take it I gather my courage to excuse myself."Excuse me I will just use the powder room," I said. Hunter nods his head while Olivia doesn't care and continued telling Hunter something related to business.I leave the table and headed towards the hallway heading to the powder room.It took me a few minutes to find it and when I saw it I immediately stepped inside and stared at the mirror.I slapped myself a few times trying to forget how Alton looked at me.I retouched my make-up and put some powder on my face because I am getting sweaty feeling all the tension.When I am satisfied
Solana's POVI looked at him intently then after a while I let out a deep breath."I don't think it is part of your business Alton," I said and walked away but he didn't allow me to leave.Alton grabbed my wrist and made me face him.He looked at me directly in the eyes. I saw irritation on his face."Don't meet Hunter again," he said and upon hearing those words my forehead creased."Who are you to decide for me?" I asked a bit annoyed that he is getting on my way again.I thought we have talked about this. That he will stop meddling with my private life...and he will stop pursuing me just to get what he wants."I don't want to see you with another man," he said and upon hearing those words I can't help but laugh."Stop acting like you are fucking in love with me when all you want is thrill and excitement," I said while looking at him straight in the eyes."We already talk about this Alton. Stop using me for fun, I have too much going on with my life right now, so please if you have
Solana's POVOlivia surely knows when to show up and I have no idea if I should be thankful for that or not."I thought you will make a phone call?" she asked completely confused while looking at Alton then shifted her eyes to me.Alton let out a deep breath and then looked at Olivia."What are you doing here?" he asked and I can sense irritation in his tone."Retouch?" Olivia responded completely confused."How about you? What are you doing here?" she asked."That is none of your business, Olivia," Alton firmly responded then looked at me again. I forcefully removed his hold and took a step away but I halted when Olivia speak."What do you think will happen if I revealed this to the public? The name that you built for half of your life will be tainted Solana and your Mom whom you wanted to please so bad will loathe you or worse disown you," Olivia uttered and I know those would be possible once she created a story out of this issue.I let out a deep breath and then faced her. I looked
Solana's POVUpon stepping inside my car I let out a deep breath before starting my engine.When I gather all my courage I started manoeuvring my car and drive away.I headed back to the studio since I still have a shoot and I have to practice my script for my upcoming movie.When I reached the studio I saw Kris busy talking to the photographer probably regarding the photos that we took earlier.When Kris noticed me she kissed me on the cheeks and then pulled me towards the monitor where my photos are flashed."This one looks a bit off, right? Your smile looks forced," she commented so I simply nod my head unable to think of anything or to criticize my picture because my mind is flying somewhere else."This one looks good though right Solana? Your eyes look sultry here," she said and I nod my head once again.Kris looked at me intently then stood up straight and rested her hand on the side of her waist.She stared at my face intently and that made me a bit uncomfortable."Why?" I aske
Solana's POVWhen I stepped out of my room I bumped into Alton in the hallway.I don't know what I should do so I ignored him and acted like I didn't see him at all.I headed towards the kitchen and I felt him following me but I keep on ignoring him.When I stepped inside the kitchen Timothy and my Mom is already sitting on the table so I greeted them by kissing their cheeks.I sat beside Mom while Alton sat across from me."So how's your date with Hunter, Solana?" Timothy asked the moment I sat at the table."It's fine Dad. We plan to meet again," I responded then simply smiled.Timothy nods his head and he looks pleased by my answer."That's good," he said."Hunter is a good man and he knows a lot about business I am sure he can help you. I think Alton is busy in his newly opened business so he can no longer teach you Solana," he said so I simply nod my head and take a glance on Alton's side who is already looking at me but he immediately looked away when our eyes met.I wanted to s
