Chapter 85

Solana's POV

I stared intently at Alton's face, my gaze locking with his. A chill ran through my hands, making them grow cold. In his eyes, I could see anticipation, waiting for my answer.

"What are you doing there?" Allison's voice broke the tension. I immediately pushed Alton away and turned to face Allison.

"I'm sorry, I have an emergency," I hastily explained, stepping into my car and driving away without a proper goodbye.

As I drove towards Kris' unit, my anger boiled inside me. Arriving at her condominium building, I walked towards her door and stepped inside, my blood still simmering with frustration.

In the living room, Kris was engrossed in her favourite TV show. I sat beside her and snatched the beer from her grasp.

"Hey! That's mine," she complained, but I downed it in one gulp, glaring at the television.

"Are you okay?" Kris asked, concern lacing her voice.

I turned to her, taking deep breaths, and looked directly into her eyes.

"Alton was there," I said.

Confusion creased
