Only Till Forever CHAPTER 13: The contest
NARRATIVE "My Rodriguez, it's a pleasure to have you here. Please come with me." The middle aged CEO of the Relish Industries said as he led the way through the gathering crowd towards the reserved VVIP section of the large hall where the Relish Fashion Contest, was holding. Carlo who was on a disguise_as he had dark sunglasses over his eyes and a mask over his nose and mouth, nodded slightly in acknowledgement to the older man while his eyes roamed searchingly, over the already filled up hall. Alvin was right beside him and several security guards escorted them until he got to his seat and they retired slightly at a corner behind him. The moment he was seated in his private VVIP section of the hall, his eyes still scanned around, looking to see if he'd find her. At this moment, Adele and her team were just arriving, Lana and Lu Cheng, her best friends, didn't fail to come too. While they walked in, Adele had to pause and exchange pleasantries severally with some business
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 14: Winning among winners
CARLO'S POV I smiled slightly when my eyes finally found her in the midst of other renowned designers, high ranking societal people, contesting designers and other high class individuals from all parts of the world. But my smile easily changed into a frown the moment I found she wasn't alone. That guy, what did Alvin call his name again? Something with the Ar...whatever, sitting beside her and whispering something to her. Of course, I was jealous, really jealous. But she didn't see me, because she can't. My section of the hall was private as I'm a special guest of the occasion and I had also requested to be a bit hidden from the rest of the spectators with the excuse of wanting to keep my identity and attendance to this occasion, anonymous for personal reasons. Good for me, the CEO of Relish Industries, easily agreed. I'm one of their top partners afterall. I didn't know what he said to her and I'm not concerned about him that much because I've discovered he and her are no
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 15: A scheming opponent
NARRATIVE While Adele and her team prep for the next fashion contest in their private dressing room at the sixth floor of the building where the event was holding, Carlo was in a bad mood as he stood at the balcony of the top floor of the building. Immediately after the first round of the fashion contest had ended, he was greatly pleased that her design was selected amongst the winners of the first round and with great joy in his heart, he looked forward to sharing in her joy even though from a distance. While he secretly tailed after her immediately she'd walked out, he watched her exchange congratulatory greetings with several colleagues and was smiling gleefully even as he watched her walk along the hallway of the sixth floor with her team members but his mood turned sour the moment he had seen the handsome Italian guy walk up to her. His facial expression turned even more sour when he heard her praised the other guy and hugged him. He got real hurt instantly, the moment he s
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 16: An unexpected twist
NARRATIVE "I'm glad you won again. My efforts weren't in vain." Carlo muttered to himself as he smiled from his elevated spot he was in, watching her. She was happy and he was glad he get's to see her smile even though he knew she might never smile like that in his presence. He was going to imprint this moment in his heart and memory for a long time. Alvin smiled as he watch his Boss smiling so brightly for the first time since he knew him. He felt pleased to have aided in making his boss smile this way and would be willing to give his all to make the young CEO, whose life that had been nothing but sadness for the past three years since he met him, smile again like this. This woman was the only medicine that could cure the wound in his Boss life and he'll keep trying to help him get this rare medicine.FLASHBACKALVIN'S POV Right after Boss asked me to go look after Miss Adele, I was walking down the hallway towards the elevator when I caught sight of none other than my sist
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 17: Forcefully taking the dress at gunpoint
NARRATIVE Mayven smirked in pleasure on seeing the result her appearance at the stage sparked. Yes! She deserved this! She deserved their praise. This was her spot and Adele was sick in the head if she had thought she'll just give it away as easily as that. Sheila must be stupid too if she'd thought she'll continue letting her take all the glory.FLASHBACKMAYVEN'S POV I watch her admire herself on the lengthy mirror, through the peephole on the mahogany door. Sheila how dare you steal my spot?! Even though I hate the bitch that designed this wears, it was my opportunity to come into the limelight and showcase my 'goodness' to all who had eyes to know good stuff.Nope! I let her model all through to the second stage because I initially doubt that the wench's design would be able to make it to the second stage, talk more of the grand finale. Well, this was an opportunity, too good to lose. "Get rid of the CCTV." I said to one of the three guards with me. Well, befor
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 18: When Karma comes knocking
ADELE'S POV Angry?! I've never felt this amount of rage in such a short while. How could she do that?! How dare her do that?!Mayven, it seems you're begging me to end you huh? I was shaking my foot in the dressing room, visibly vibrating from rage after Sheila explained everything to me. Lu Cheng and Lana were really pissed as well but not as much as myself. They tried to calm me down a little because they know how bad I get when really angry. Everything was going on perfect until the bitch had to show up. Even if I win the grand finale, my joy wouldn't be as pure as it ought to be because of her. How brazen of her to attack my security guards, lock them up in a restroom, slap Sheila and humiliate her in the presence of those scrawny individuals she called guards?! It wouldn't be bad if I teach her a grand lesson right?! For goodness sake, she's ruined this occasion for me! I shouldn't have left Sheila alone. To think that Mayven insulted my dress, yet she had the aud
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 19: Getting his package again/Another plot
ADELE'S STANDPOINT I stared at the gold trophy amongst several of my other collections, with a small smile. I did it afterall. I won yet again_even though Mayven almost ruined it for me. For the first time in six years, I felt extremely satisfied with what I did to her. I finally got to have my revenge, how won't I feel great? After getting Carlo's mystery package, I was already feeling edgy and then the bitch had to show up. I'm so pleased at myself with the manner I'd dealt with her. Of course Mayven had successfully ruined the CCTV she could see but what she didn't know was that, there were several other hidden cameras that the company had fixed at almost every aspect of the Hotel. Yes, the building where the event was hosted was one of Relish Industries' famous hotel. But good for me, I had connections with the general manager of the company. So immediately I'd found out what Mayven did from Sheila, it took only a minute call to the general manager and then I had the h
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 20: A last warning
NARRATIVE Adele was busy designing a piece on her computer, when her office door suddenly flung open. The action startled her as she raised her gaze from her work and stared in shock to see the source of the noise running in. "Ma'am, there's been a trouble!" Geraldine announced pantingly. "What?! How do you mean? What's going on?" Adele panicked, already off her seat. "I heard from Mira just now, the delivery truck on the way to Washington DC encountered an irrevocable mishap and..." "And?" Adele urged on, already expecting the worst. "The goods got ruined in the accident. The clients at Washington DC are calling as it is." "How in the world did this happened Geraldine? It's not the first time we're transporting these items down there. Tell me, what exactly happened?"______ Lana was in her apartment, lazilly watching and listening to the news report on TV while her husband gently massaged her baby bump, when the announcer's words and the background display she

Only Till Forever Epilogue
EPILOGUE~Five Years Later~ Someone was tapping her gently, trying to wake her up. Adele frowned in her sleep and pulled the duvet even more, over her face. "Bebeeee!" She groaned. "Just one more hour. It's soooo cold." Carlo smiled and pulled down the duvet once more. He stared down at her pouting lips and chuckled. "Come on now, otherwise Kerrin wouldn't spare us if she's unable to attend Celestine's 6th birthday party. You know how persistent she gets." He tried to coax her using their three year old daughter and his plan pulled through successfully. Adele sat up with a start at the mention of their daughter. Kerrin was just as persistent as Carlo. Not only that, she also shows great personality similarities with Maddy, Adele's Mom. The only thing the cute little one got from her was her appearance. Kerrin has pretty hazel eyes __which she obviously got from her Dad, Adele's smile and her facial features but her black hair was also from her Dad. She's so cute a
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 100: Cheers to forever, Bebe
FINAL CHAPTERADELE'S POV Some hours later, our plane landed at the 'Ninoy Aquino International Airport' and the moment we stepped out of the terminal, some escort cars were already waiting for us. Moments after I'd stopped on my tracks and inhaled the scent of the country I've not stepped foot in for many years, I exhaled sharply and nodded slightly to Clara. Without wasting time or much words, we both stepped in the car and the thirty minutes drive to Quezon City began. "Clara, not much have changed in this city over the years. It still looked as exactly as I could remember..." I said with my gaze out the window and a small smile on my lips while I stared through the streets as our car drove past. "Oh, look at that stall Ma always sent us to get her beverages. I guess she still shops here." "Yeah, she still does. Although Willy does most of the shopping these days." Clara said beside me and I chuckled. "I thought as much."They'd be so surprised to see me again after
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 99: Lisa's blind date
NARRATIVE "I'm sorry okay? I promise you Lisa, this is the last Elaine and I would set you up on a blind date. Okay?" "Wasn't that what you said the last time too?" Lisa frowned as she stared at hers and Rosy's reflection on her full length vanity mirror. "No seriously, this is different. If at the end of it you still don't like him, you're free to cut me off for one month...oh no, one week.." Lisa smirked as she picked up the red lipstick on her vanity. "One month. You said it yourself. If he really turns out the same as the others or maybe even worse than the last, you'd have to keep to your word, sweetheart." She said. Rosy scratched her neck somewhat reluctantly. "Can we just make it one week? You know I can't keep off from you for even a day." She whinned and Lisa rolled her eyes. "Since you know it, why did you bother? It was your suggestion and I like it even more." She chuckled. "Why? Aren't you certain anymore that I'd like this dude?" "Oh gosh! This girl
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 98: Leaving for the Philippines, Meeting Ms Anonymous
NARRATIVE~Five days later~Trixie!The name's of Latin origin, meaning the bringer of joy.And that's what they named her; Trixie Raya Henry. Lana's and Alistair's pretty sunshine. Adele smiled as the memories of the past five days replayed in her head. She leaned further into her seat and closed her eyes, pulling down the black sleeping eye mask over her eyes. Beside her in the luxury first class compartment of the plane, Clara had huge dark shades on and she's deeply engrossed in a novel with Lily __ Adele's cute white poodle, on her laps. During these five days, Adele had taken care of some important matters in her company and had left the company under the care of her PA and sales manager. The news of her engagement to Carlo Rodriguez, hasn't hit the public yet. They had decided it was best not to announce it to the world for now until issues with her family's been sorted out. Thus, Adele refrained from sharing her joy publicly even when she badly wanted to. For now, the
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 97: A new name for a surprise princess
NARRATIVE "A baby girl?" The girls chorused in their surprise. "Yes." The Doctor nodded. "Yesss!!!" Alistair squealed. "I got me a princess! A mini Lana!" He gushed and wasted no time in hurrying inside. Adele and Clara couldn't help but stare at the Doctor in confusion. Noticing this, the middle aged Doctor smiled and went ahead to explain the misunderstandings to them. "Ah, it seems you were all expecting a baby boy huh?" He chuckled. "The fault is from the hospital she had gotten a scan at, in the Philippines. They made a mistake in her scan result, probably an issue of swapped files. And she's not gotten another scan for the sex of the child since then." He nodded at them before he walked off. The sisters stared after his retreating figure in wonder. It seems he had no idea how the situation turned out like this too. "Ah, forget it. Let's go see Lana." Adele smiled, pulling Clara along. She wondered what the girls have to say to this, especially Lu Cheng
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 96: Congratulations, it's a baby girl
NARRATIVEPRESENTLY She leaned up and placed a quick kiss on his lips. "Don't worry, I'll call you." Adele smiled at Carlo and he sighed, finally letting go his hold on her waist. "I know. But are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" He asked for the umpteenth time since he escorted her down here to the rooftop of CR'S Luxury, where his private jet was waiting. "Come on Bebe. We've talked about this already. I can't let you leave the company now, when you've been absent for a long while. In as much as I'd appreciate your company, I can't let you come with me now. Brenda needs you by her side. The company needs you too. I'd definitely keep in touch before traveling to the Philippines as we've discussed. Okay?" She caressed his cheeks with her thumbs, her lips pursed and he slowly nodded. "Okay." He smiled. "You should go in now." He stared behind her at the waiting Jet. "Alright. See you soon." Adele nodded as she turned to leave. However, Carlo caught her hand b
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 95: Change of plans

Immediately she'd said 'Yes' and Carlo had swept her off her feet, both had shared an intimate moment with their lips before they were interrupted by the staff members that'd helped Carlo organize the event. They congratulated the couple on their new journey together, and had taken photos with them also before they quietly dispersed and left the couple to themselves. Carlo had then brought her to the luxurious and romantic dinner table the staff already prepared for them __ based on his earlier instructions. "Once a romantic, always a romantic." Adele said as she stared at the diamond ring in her ring-finger, while Carlo chuckled over her words. "You've always wanted to go on a yacht date, under the sunset and although it took several years, I just granted your wish." He smiled. "Right." She nodded. "In the most
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 94: Lana's water broke
ADELES'S POV I understand Carlo had proposed to me about six years and some months ago. As I stare at him now through my teary eyes, I can't help but remember the proposal at the beach. But comparing both now, this was the most romantic thing I'd ever witnessed. Words can't describe perfectly, how I'm feeling at this moment. I was certain when I had said 'yes' to marrying him several years ago. But this time, I was even more certain that I can't spend the rest of my life without this man in it. I was sure and even more willing to walk through forever with him. He's my soulmate and there's never gonna be anything changing that.Let's do this, Adele!Let's say 'yes' to a promising forever again. "Will you marry me, Adele?" Carlo asked again, his eyes eagerly searching mine. I smiled through my tears and nodded vigorously at him. "Yes!"
