Solana's POVI feel my knees getting weak as I stared at his face.The warmth of his hand that is resting on the side of my waist crawl to my whole body and made my heart beat erratically."W-What are you doing here?" I asked nervously.Alton's eyebrows furrowed while looking at my face intently as if he is mad or something."I should be the one asking you that. After rejecting me I will find you here having fun, you have your ways of insulting me Solana," he said without breaking off the gaze."It wasn't my plan to go here. Allison convinced me to party with her" I said explaining to him why I am at the club even though I didn't even owe him any explanation.I didn't need to ask for his permission to come here, so why am I explaining?"Allison forced you to come here?" he asked then removed the strands of my hair that covers my face and tucked it behind my ears."She convinced me to come here," I said.I can feel my breathing getting heavy as I felt his touch on my face."Why did you

Solana's POVAfter closing the store, I headed home, and upon arriving, I saw Allison again in her party outfit."No, I won't come with you, Allison," I said before she could even invite me."Fine, Solana," she responded, then stepped out of the house.When Allison left, I headed towards the garden to look for Dad, and I was right, he was there, having his tea."Hi, Dad,"I kissed him on the cheek and sat on the wooden bench in our garden."How's work?" he asked.I let out a tired sigh as exhaustion surged through my body. I was happy that we had many customers, but it meant my whole body would ache because I stood all afternoon attending to their needs and entertaining them."Tiring," I replied, leaning my head on his shoulder like a child.Dad's hand stroked my hair, and I felt comforted. My eyes automatically closed, and I took a quick rest."Remember to take a rest, Solana. You should take care of your body," he reminded me, making me smile.We stayed in that position for quite so

Solana's POVDays went by doing the same routine every day.Waking up. Going to store. Going home. Sleeping. Waking up again.My days revolve around that same routine but I am not complaining.Yes, I admit sometimes it feels lonely but at least it is peaceful.I am slowly healing the pain and heaviness inside my heart."You're coming right?"My forehead creased when I heard Kris's question until I realized that it was her birthday today."Yes of course!"I feel guilty that I almost forgot her birthday. It's still a bit early so maybe I can still buy her a gift.Kris will be mad at me if I forgot her birthday for sure."I'll come to your condo later," I said acting like I didn't forget her birthday at all."It will be held at a newly opened club. Neon Lights, Solana. I will pick you up at 9:00 PM," she said so I guess I have no choice.I don't want to do parties anymore but it's Kris's birthday and I can't just simply decline her invitation I am sure she will hold it against me if I do

Solana's POVDays passed, and after Alton's thorough investigation, it was proven that Olivia indeed framed me for stealing that necklace.The CCTV footage clearly showed her placing the necklace in my bag.The issue became public knowledge because Alton himself ordered the A&S Mall manager to upload the video, letting everyone know that such acts weren't tolerated, even if the people involved were prominent figures.The video spread across the internet and was broadcasted worldwide, shocking everyone. Olivia was a big figure in the entertainment industry, the highest-paid model and actress at the time, making the news all the more shocking."I can't stop watching this video, Solana. Alton did a great job posting it," Kris said, laughing while watching the video where Olivia was interviewed about framing me.Olivia kept denying that she put the necklace in my bag, claiming the footage was somehow edited, but her lies were not believed by the public.All her movies and advertisements,

Alton's POVShe fell silent, looking like a lost kitten. I reclined her seat and swiftly moved my body on top of hers."What are you doing?" she nervously asked, but she didn't push me away.I saw desire in her eyes, which made me smile playfully.I leaned in, making our faces a few inches away from each other. I could feel her hot breath on my face, and I could smell the liquor in her mouth."What the fuck are you doing, Alton?" she asked, anger evident in her tone, but it contradicts the desire that reflects in her eyes.Her breathing became heavy as I got closer to her."You feel guilty, right, for turning me on," I said without breaking off the gaze, "you should be held responsible, Solana, in calming it down," I whispered.She swallowed hard but didn't even attempt to push me away.I leaned in once again, making our lips touch. I didn't move nor claim her lips, I just let them touch."Push me away if you don't want this, Solana," I whispered while our lips were touching.She didn'
