Solana's POVI touched my lip after I sent the message to my client. I'm asking for an extension of the deadline because I don't think I can finish the design on time. I need to visit Martha and work harder in the Muller Group since I still need to prepare for the Autumn and Winter Series Exhibition.Hugging myself, I squeezed my legs together. I still can feel the desire that Jordan ignited in my body. I can still feel his lips on mine. His palms on my body. I can still feel the wanton heat but no, I can't give in to him.I received the client's reply and my eyes widened as I read his message. He said he doesn't need to do the design anymore. It scared me. I don't wanna lose a good paying client. I need him.I panicked so I replied that I will finish the design but I may not reach the deadline. I was relieved when he replied again, saying I don't need to worry and he's giving me enough time to finish the design.Lying on the bed, I stared at the ceiling and remembered the incident in

Solana's POVI chewed my bottom lip while staring at my phone after my salary was transferred to my account. It's just enough to fully pay for Martha's renal transplantation. I need to find a way to make more money. The bags. Right! I will sell it.I went back to the department after washing my hands in the powder room. My teammates already left and I was left with Pierce who just rose from his seat after turning his computer off."Sol," Pierce called my name, so I looked at him and smiled.He pressed his lips together and walked towards me. He glanced at my bag. "Uhm… Do you have any plans tonight?"Plans for tonight? I texted Jordan not to fetch me tonight coz I need to go to the hospital and pay the remaining balance for Martha's renal transplantation, so yeah. I have plans. Nevertheless, I smiled at him. "Why?"He scratched the back of his head, as if hesitating. "Can I invite you for dinner? Tonight? In a restaurant. My treat."I pressed my lips together and stared at him. I just

Solana's POVAgatha smirked as soon as she stopped in front of our table. She's beside Pierce whose face was showing confusion. Probably because Agatha is looking at me with a mocking and sarcastic expression on her face.I felt anger washed over me as soon as I saw her face. I really don't like seeing her face. Her presence alone can ruin my mood."Hey there, sis. I see you're having fun after you get money from mom," she said with a hint of anger and mock.I lifted my chin and kept my face blank. I see she's trying to shame me here but she's so unlucky coz I won't let her embarrass me in any way. I bet she'll run away as soon as I hit her ego. I wanna know what her plan is and how she would embarrass me tonight.She glanced at Jordan and Pierce. She looked so eager to taint my image and ruin me in the eyes of the people around, especially to Pierce and Jordan."Gentlemen, my sister here seems to be enjoying your company. I bet you'd go straight to a hotel nearby. Are you excited, So

Solana's POV"It seems like you're so mad at them. Why?" He continued asking. Curiosity is very evident in his eyes.Of course, he'd be curious. He knows that Agatha was my sister and yet we're not acting like siblings at all. I understand. I just hope he won't ask too many questions as I don't know if I could answer him properly.I pressed my lips together and looked down. "They just owe me money, Jordan. And they're refusing to pay me back."That's the safest answer and that's the truth anyway. They owe me the money they promised.I looked at him again. He nodded and tucked some strands of my hair on my ear. "Okay. I won't ask more, but I have a favor to ask."A favor? I hope it's not much. I nodded and smiled. "Sure."He heaved a sigh and stared at me, so intensely as he spoke… "Tell your colleagues that you're married, so they'd stop hitting on you."What? Hitting on me? Who's hitting on me? Pierce Adams? I don't think he'll continue pursuing me since he already knows that I'm mar

Solana's POV"Did you sell it, Solana?" He asked again. He's now raising his voice because of anger. His neck and face are red. He's showing too many emotions in his eyes which I couldn't interpret. All I know is he's furious about the heirloom."F-cking answer me, Solana. Why did you sell the ring?"I stared at him. Startled and confused. I sold the ring? Why would I sell the ring and the ring is right here, in my finger. Is he blind? I showed him the ring with an annoyed expression on my face. I don't think I'm following him. He's talking about the ring that's actually on his face."I have the ring, Jordan. Can't you see?" I asked back, annoyed.He took the ring off my finger and examined it. He gasped and looked at me again. His jaws even clenched. "This? This is a counterfeit, Solana. How could you try to fool me?"My eyes widened and my lips parted. Counterfeit? "What?" That's impossible. I think he's wrong.He gritted his teeth. "The ring I gave you has my mother's initials. Thi
