Alton's POV
I saw anger in Solana's eyes and after a while, a hard slap landed on my face.The side of my lips rose for a smirk. I massaged my left cheek where her slap landed. I looked at Solana intently."I don't have time to deal with your shits Alton," she said firmly in a tone filled with anger."Why are you so against the idea of fucking me when we are not even related by blood?" I asked while looking directly into her eyes."All my life all I want is to be loved by my mother and I will do everything to please her even if I have to force myself in the family they created so fuck someone else Alton because whether you like it or not, from now on I will see you as my brother nothing more," I saw tears on the corner of her eyes. I can feel pain in her voice and for a second I want to comfort her but I stopped myself from doing so.Solana looked at me intently and after a while, she walked away leaving me in her tent.I let out a deep breath and decided to leave.Guilt crept into my system when I saw that she is about to cry but her tears weren't enough to stop me from ruining the family that my father created.I went back to our mansion and the first thing I saw was Alicia removing our family portrait."Who gave you permission to remove that?" I asked as I walked towards her.Alicia signalled the maid to put the portrait down then she faced me."You're father gave me permission Alton do we have any problem with that?" she asked with a forced smile plastered on her face.A sarcastic smile appeared on my lips."You can't replace my mother Alicia. You can try all you want but you will always be my father's mistress," after saying those words a hard slap landed on my face.Like my mother, like daughter, I thought to myself.Alicia breathed heavily with her eyes filled with anger.After a while, my father stepped inside the living room, confused. His eyes landed on me and then on Alicia."What's happening here?" he asked.Alicia faced my father with a fake smile plastered on her lips."Nothing hon. Alton is just asking me why I am removing your family portrait," she sweetly responded.My father looked at me."There's no point in keeping that old family portrait Alton because that family no longer exists," he said.I looked at my father and I never thought that the man that I used to look up to when I was a child became a stranger that I loathe."Because you ruined it, Dad. You and your mistress ruined our family," after saying those words I fell on the floor holding my face.I tasted blood in my mouth. A sarcastic smile appeared on my lips then stood up and faced my father who is now fuming mad while looking at me."If you can't respect my decision then leave Alton. Leave just like what your mother did," he said with his voice filled with anger."And what? Let you live in a fairytale?" I sarcastically asked.I looked at my father intently with a clenched fist."I won't let your new family steal my place in this mansion. I am still your son Dad and I have every right to stay here." I uttered while looking directly into his eyes.When I can no longer bear looking at his face I headed towards my room and upon stepping inside I threw things on the wall.I heard knocks from the outside and Martha's voice asking me what is happening but I ignored her.After a while, I let out a deep breath and sat at the edge of my bed.I am panting while looking at my bloody fist.After a while, I reached for my phone and dialled, Sebastian's number."What's up man?" he asked. I can hear gunshots on the other line meaning he is currently at work."Do you have time?" I asked."Why? Something happened?" he asked. Sebastian knows about my family issue. He knows how fucked up my life is so whenever I am calling him he already knows that there is something wrong."Dad and I fought," I responded."I'm at the shooting ground, come here if you want to release some steam," he offered.I let out a deep breath and then grabbed my keys.I stepped out of my room but the moment I walked into the hallway I bumped into Solana.I'm not in the mood to play with her so I passed by her but before I could fully leave she spoke."Your hand it's bleeding...are you okay?" she asked with her voice laced with concern.I stopped walking and then faced her.Solana is looking at my hand then after a while, her gaze shifted to my face."You should clean your wounds," she suggested. I looked at her face intently. She looks deeply concerned."I'm fine," I was about to walk away when she took a step closer and held my wrist."Let me clean your wound. It won't take long I promised," she said then after that she climbed down the stairs and after a few minutes she came back holding a first aid kit.Solana held my wrist again then pulled me towards her room and made me sit on the edge of her bed.She sat beside me and then carefully placed my wounded hand on her lap."What happened?" she asked while gently pressing cotton with alcohol on the wound."Ouch," I flinched when she pressed it a little harder."Sorry," she apologized then blew some air to ease the sting.I looked at Solana and as I looked at her face intently I felt my heart start beating erratically."Does it hurt?" she asked then lift her head and looked me directly in the eyes.I swallowed hard at how close our faces are. I felt my body freeze in place and when I can no longer bear looking at her face, I look away and pulled my hand from her hold.I moved a little to create a space between us."I have to go," I said then stood up and walked out of her door but the moment I stepped out I saw Solana's mother standing in front of Solana's room."Why are you here?" she asked in a malicious tone.My lips rose for a smirk then looked at her intently."Two people, alone in a room, what do you think could happen, Alicia?" I asked while looking at her intently.Alicia looked at me fiery. I saw how she let out a deep breath as if she is trying to calm herself."I'm warning you, Alton, don't you ever use my daughter for whatever you are planning," she threatened but I simply smiled at her."I am not planning anything, Alicia. I just can't resist your daughter's charm. I guess it runs in your blood, both of you are good seducers," I uttered after saying those words she lift her hand in the air but I attentively held her wrist.I saw pain cross her face when I squeezed her wrist."What are you doing?" that question loosened my hold. I turned my head and I saw Solana looking at me with her eyes filled with judgement."I know you don't like me Alton and I understand but please give me a chance to be a mother to you," my forehead creased when I heard those words from Alicia.I looked at her completely confused.Solana's POVAlton looked at my mother with a creased forehead then after a while, his head turned to me before he let go of my mother's hand and completely walked away.My mother watched Alton as he leaves and when Alton is completely gone she looked at me."What's going on between you and Alton?" fear crept into my system when I heard that question. The night that we had together flashed in my mind.I swallowed hard then nervously shook my head."N-Nothing Mom," I responded stuttering.My mother looked at me intently then after a while she let out a deep breath."I allowed you to live here because Timothy suggested. Don't you dare do anything that will ruin this family Solana or I will disown you," she said firmly and I can tell that isn't joking.I nervously nod my head once again."Y-Yes Mom," I responded then smiled at her."Timothy wants us to live as a family. He sees you as his daughter so don't you dare do anything that will break his trust, do you understand?" she strictly a
Alton's POVI stayed in the mansion even though I can feel that my father don't want me to be there.I forced myself into a place where I no longer belong because this is the only thing that I can do for my mother. If my mother lives a miserable life then they should feel the same."You didn't tell me that Solana Reev is your step-sister," Sebastian uttered while his eyes is focus on Solana who is busy entertaining my father's guest.My eyebrows furrowed then looked at Sebastian."You know her?" I asked then shifted my gaze to Solana who is stealing glances in our direction but when I caught her she immediately looked away."Kris her manager is a friend of mine. I met her at the bar once," he responded so I simply nod my head and sip on the wine glass that I am holding."She's a total catch bro. Too bad she left early that night," he added."She's your type?" I asked then looked at Sebastian intently."Why? Do you plan on indulging yourself in forbidden romance?" he asked back followe
Solana's POVAlton remained true to his words because just like what he promised he stopped pissing me off and I don't know if I should be happy or not because sometimes I miss his presence.I let out a deep breath when his face crossed my mind again."You have a problem?" Kris asked while her eyes is fixated on her iPad probably busy checking all my schedules."Nothing," I responded as I stare at my reflection.Kris lift her head and then looked at me."You sure?" she asked so through the mirror I smiled at her and then nod my head."I'm just tired," I responded."I'm sorry my dear star but you can't rest yet, you still have a fan meeting at five pm," she responded then smiled at me sweetly.I felt exhausted but I can't ditch those people who continuously supports me. I know they are waiting for this event to happen.At exactly four-thirty we started driving towards the venue of my fan meeting.Upon arriving at the place flashes of the camera blinded my vision but I managed to smile
Alton's POVI stepped out of the bathroom with a towel hanging loosely on my waist.Upon stepping out I saw Olivia holding my phone."Someone called you. The name is registered as a brat, is that your friend?" she asked.I walked towards Olivia and then snatched the phone from her hold."No," I simply responded then sat on the bed while checking my call history."What did she say?" I asked.Olivia shrugged her shoulder."Nothing, she just dropped the call," she responded. I let out a deep breath and then put my phone on the side table.I continued drying my hair and then faced Olivia."It's already late won't you go back to your room?" I asked. Olivia smiled at me and then moved closer."Can I stay here?" she sweetly asked but I shook my head and then smiled at her."You know I don't do cuddles Olivia," I said. Dismay was written on her face. She rolled her eyes at me and then get off the bed."Let's eat breakfast together tomorrow at least," she uttered before stepping out of my room
Solana's POVI was scrolling through my feed when I saw Olivia Larkin's post.I felt bitterness surge in my system when I saw her picture with Alton. Olivia's head is resting on Alton's chest while Alton is in deep sleep.I swallowed hard and then forced myself to scroll but I kept on coming back to Olivia's post. I even zoomed the picture to check if it is Alton and when I realized that it was him my chest tightened."Are you okay?" my phone slipped from my hand when I heard Kris's question.Kris picked up my phone and then take a quick look before handing it to me."What's happening?" she asked looking at me with a raised eyebrow."Nothing," I responded then took the phone from her hold.Kris looked at me with furrowed eyebrows then after a while she let out a deep breath."Okay," she responded."The shoot will start in five minutes," she informed me so I nod my head.I looked at myself in the mirror and when I felt satisfied with my look I stepped out of my dressing room and then h
Alton's POVJust like I promised I accompanied them to the shop that Olivia is talking about.After an hour of driving we arrived.I have a different plan for my weekend but here I am now sitting on the couch while waiting for the girls to pick their dresses.I let out a deep breath and then took one of the magazines above the table.I started flipping pages and I swallowed hard when I saw Solana's picture holding a liquor topless and the only thing that covers her upper body is her arm."Does it look okay?" I immediately put the magazine down when I heard her voice.I steal some glances and when I saw her wearing a green gown that perfectly hugs her body I can't help but stare.Solana is busy staring at the mirror but after a while, she saw my reflection.Solana stared at my reflection intently and I did the same but our gazes wear tear off when Olivia spoke."Babe, what do you think of this one?" Olivia asked so I turned my head at her.Olivia looks beautiful in her blue gown but the
Solana's POVDinner came and I never thought that the conversation will revolve around me."Can I have your schedule, Solana?" Timothy asked.My forehead creased when I heard that question."I'm sorry, what for?" I politely asked."So we can schedule your training without comprising your work. I don't want to steal your life from you but you have to learn how to run our retail company, right Alicia?" Timothy looked at my mother and without any hesitation, my mother smiled at Timothy and nod her head."Give it to your Dad Solana," my mother uttered and she is not asking for a favour, it was more of a command."I'll ask Kris to send me a copy," I responded which made Timothy smile."Who will train me by the way?" I asked."Your brother, Alton," he responded which made my eyes widen."Don't you have other employees to train me?" I asked.Timothy looked at me completely confused and when I turned my head on my mother she looks at me with her right eyebrows slightly raised."Why? What's wr
Alton's POVJust like what I promised to my father I started training Solana. I pick her up during her free time and it was such a huge hassle for me but I have no choice. I need to do this."I'm sorry the shoot took longer than I expected," she apologized upon stepping inside my car."Fix your schedule so you won't waste my time," I responded before starting the engine."Okay. I'm sorry," she repeated but it was no longer sincere. It is more of a sarcastic type of apology.After that none of us dared to talk until we reached the company.Upon stepping inside the employees greeted us but I didn't bother to respond, Solana, on the other hand, smiled at them and even wave back."They are not your fans," I reminded her but she just rolled her eyes."I'm just being friendly Alton, I don't want to be rude like you," she responded, mocking me.I didn't bother to defend myself, she is right anyway.When we reach my mother's office I noticed some changes. Some of the furniture is new and they
