Solana's POVAs morning arrived, Arthur and Mary accompanied me to the airport. The weight of leaving behind the place that had been my home for the past five years hit me hard, and tears welled up in my eyes as soon as I stepped onto the plane. This was the place where I had raised my son and where his memories lingered.Once the plane took off, I wiped away my tears, leaned back against the seat, and tightly closed my eyes, mentally preparing myself for the new life that awaited me in New York. Kris had no idea about my plans to fly there, but I knew I could count on her. I needed her help for a fresh start—a place to stay. She was the only person I knew in New York, and I hoped she would be willing to offer me shelter while I searched for a job and began rebuilding my life.After a few hours in the air, the plane finally touched down, and I took a deep breath, mustering the courage to step out into the bustling streets of New York.Carrying my luggage, I exited the plane and scann

Alton's POVI buried myself in work, hoping it would serve as a distraction, but it proved futile.I feigned strength, putting on a facade that I could handle everything, but deep down, I am on the edge of giving up with each passing day.During breakfast, my mother spoke up, breaking the uneasy silence."I attended Atlas's funeral the other day..." she began.I looked at her, eager for more details."His ashes were brought to Solana's house," she added.I nodded, acknowledging that Solana deserved to keep our son's remains."Son..." she hesitated, reaching out for my hand.I could sense that she struggled to express something."Solana came here the day you and Allison flew to New York..." her voice wavered as she started.I stared at her, waiting for her to continue."She pleaded with me to see you..." she finally confessed.My grip on the utensils tightened.I regarded her with a furrowed brow, confusion clouding my thoughts."What did you do, Mom?" I asked, my anger rising.I could

Solana's POVAs Kris saw me, she immediately pulled me into a tight embrace, her eyes brimming with excitement and joy."Are you alone? Where is Atlas?" she inquired, and at the mention of my son's name, the sorrow I had been suppressing surged through me.I mustered a sad smile. "He died," I managed to say, my voice breaking, and the tears I had held back began to stream down my cheeks."Oh my God," Kris exclaimed, panic evident in her eyes. She held me tightly, comforting me with gentle caresses.After a while, we broke the embrace, and I surveyed our surroundings. All eyes were on us."Let's go to your unit," I urged Kris, gesturing towards the elevator. She nodded without hesitation.Together, we pulled my luggage, making our way to her unit. As we entered her unit, Kris guided me to the couch.She disappeared into the kitchen and returned with a glass of water. Taking a seat beside me, she handed it to me, and I mustered a grateful smile before taking a sip.Setting the glass o

Alton's POVI glanced away abruptly when I spotted Solana, not expecting to see her there. The desire to approach her and talk to her overwhelmed me, but I held myself back. I couldn't risk approaching her because I knew I wouldn't be able to stop myself from begging her to take me back. So, I settled for stolen glances.A genuine smile adorned Solana's face as she conversed with a child seating beside her. He appeared to be the same age as our son, Atlas, which explained Solana's fondness for him. My chest tightened as I imagined Atlas in the child's place. I could sense that Solana felt the same way, for I saw longing in her eyes as she looked at the child.After some time, a man joined their table. Solana lifted her head, and our eyes met once again, causing me to quickly avert my gaze. "Are you okay, Mr. Sanders?" Mr Lim inquired.I looked at him and nodded, pretending that everything was fine."You seem preoccupied. Is something bothering you?" he asked, concerned.I shook my

Solana's POVWorking at a coffee shop for a year helped me save enough money to open a physical store in the A & S shopping centre. The mall had recently opened, so the rent was affordable, allowing me to slowly achieve my dream.I decided to quit my job at the café and dedicate all my attention to my newly opened store. On the opening day, Kris volunteered to help me. She had done me so many favours, and I had no idea how to repay her kindness."Do you think I can sell at least one item today?" I asked Kris, my voice tinged with fear.Kris walked towards me, placing her hand on my shoulder. She made me look directly into her eyes and gave me an assuring smile."If no one buys anything, which I highly doubt, I'll buy a piece for you as your avid fan and customer," she said, making me laugh."Thank you," I said, tears welling up in the corners of my eyes."Just make sure you give me a discount," she added playfully.I nodded my head and smiled at her.Kris continued to check the rack

Alton's POVAs I stepped into Sebastian's bar, I accidentally bumped into Allison at the entrance, leaving me with no choice but to walk alongside her. We made our way towards the bar counter, and I took a seat on a bar stool while she settled beside me."It's great to see you again, Alton. It's been years, right?" she asked, her face beaming with a bright smile as if our last encounter had been a pleasant one.I glanced at her and simply nodded. I don't have the energy to engage in conversation, so instead, I ordered my usual drink, scanning the bar for any sign of Sebastian."Where's Sebastian?" I asked, turning to one of the bartenders when I couldn't spot him."He's in the VIP room, sir, on the right wing," he replied. I nodded when I heard his response and patiently waited for my drink before making my way towards the VIP room. Allison followed me, despite my complete indifference towards her.Upon entering the VIP room, I saw Sebastian enjoying drinks with our college buddies

Solana's POVI walked towards the car, sliding into the seat and exhaling deeply. Glancing at the back seat, I checked on Kris before turning my attention to George."Let's go," I said, mustering a smile.George studied me intently as if trying to decipher my true emotions."Are you okay?" he asked, concern lacing his voice.I smiled again, attempting to assure him that everything was fine, but deep down, I knew my smile was forced, masking the turmoil within.I felt foolish for hoping that Alton and Allison weren't together, but overhearing Alton's friend refer to her as his girlfriend had caused a pang in my chest. My heart sank, realising that I shouldn't hold onto such hopes.I had told myself countless times that I would forget about Alton and move on, but it was easier said than done. Letting go isn't easy when a glimmer of hope still lingers in your heart.George continued to gaze at me, clearly unsatisfied with my response. I smiled at him once more, attempting to reassure hi

Alton's POVI felt my strength fade as she walked away from me. My voice seemed to vanish, and I stood outside the building, frozen, unable to stop her from leaving.I want to run to her and hold her tightly in my arms, but her words cut me deep, leaving me unable to chase after her.Tears streamed down my face as Solana vanished from my sight, once again slipping through my fingers.With a shattered heart and fading hope, I left the building and made my way to my unit.Entering my room, I collapsed onto the bed and stared at the ceiling, clutching the necklace tightly in my hand."What am I supposed to do, buddy? Turns out your Mom still despises me," I whispered, tears continuing to flow, the dampness drying on my skin."I still love her, but if all she feels towards me is hatred, what can I do?" I asked, my voice filled with anguish.I yearned to pursue her once more, waiting for the right moment, waiting for her to heal. However, when she confessed that she still hated me, even the

Solana's POVI 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

Solana's POVI spent my day buried in work, but Solana's face kept crossing my mind. The way she looked at me that night... I saw anger and jealousy. I recognized that look because I used to glare that way at men who tried to get near her."Sir, here's the financial report you asked for," my secretary pulled me out of my thoughts about Solana.I looked at him and nodded, then took the folder from his hand."Thank you," I said.Glancing at my wristwatch, I realized it was already nine in the evening."You can go," I told him."What about you, Sir?" he asked, concern evident on his face, perhaps because I was working late again."I'll leave once I'm done reviewing this," I assured him, raising the folder he had handed me."Thank you, Sir," he said before stepping out of my office.Once he was gone, I began reviewing the financial report and funds from last month. It took me an hour to finish studying the data. When I was done, I stretched for a few minutes before stepping out of my o
