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 CHAPTER 21: Cheer up, sunshine
NARRATIVE "One, two, three...yes. Give me another, that's good. Awesome." Arsenio said as he took shots of the model in his private studio. Some top clients wouldn't work with his agency except he's the one to take the shots of them. Few minutes later, he was done for the moment at least. "Let's take five, everyone." He said, giving the camera to an assistant while he collected his phone from another and walked out of the studio, placing a call to someone. "Hey beautiful. How's the work coming?" He asked smilingly, stopping and leaning against a pillar outside the studio. "You can pretty much guess that. It's overwhelming Arsenio but I'm quite sure we would be able to meet up with the demands, soon." Adele poutingly replied from her end, while working her hands through the material before her. Her phone pressed between her shoulder and her head. Arsenio smiled on hearing her words. "I know you can. How about hiring some more hands to aid in making the work a bit fast
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 22: Hired hands
NARRATIVE "Come on Alistair, you mean you don't recognize me again?" The man said and Alistair furrowed his brows in confusion, as he tried to search through his memory for any identification of the young but huge looking man who just appeared out of no where and even knows his name. Lana stared at both guys curiously, as she stepped out of Alistair's back to stand beside him while holding his hand. She had never seen the young man before. On seeing the other having a hard time recognizing him, the man couldn't delay further and immediately explained his identity. He wouldn't blame Alistair for not recognizing him_after all, it's been ages since they last met. "It's Steve, boy. I'm a bit disappointed though, how you can't recognize me again." He said with a playful frown, removing the black face cap he had on. Just then, Alistair began to put two and two in his memory and not long afterwards, a look of recognition appeared on his face as his eyes glisten brightly from sur
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 23: Unexpected confrontation
ADELE'S POVI stared at the brown leather wristwatch I had left on my vanity. I still had it wrapped up in the little box with the pink ribbon around it. After several attempts to discard it failed__as I felt bad to throw it away given how expensive it was, I finally made up my mind to give it to Mira, my sales manager.Dragging my feet away from the vanity, I walked to my closest and picked out a simple outfit to wear. I still have tons of work at the company and I'm not in the mood to be all dolled up when hundreds of halfmade designs are screaming my name and begging for my attention.About thirty minutes later, I drove myself to work. Given my personality, I love driving to work myself so I didn't bother hiring someone; except I'm attending a show, gala or the red carpet.The security at the gate of my company welcomed me respectfully as usual and I stepped out of my car the moment I drove in and instructed one of the guards to park it carefully. I have fleet of cars but of course,
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 24: No longer a damsel in distress
CARLO'S POVIt was silent in the car as Alvin drove me to her company, I wanted to see her as she gets off work. I just couldn't resist myself from meeting her now. I didn't care if it was the right time or not, what mattered most is that I'm going crazy with this want already. If I don't meet her today, I might as well lose my mind.A lot of disturbing thoughts came to mind as we approached the six storied castle-like building. How would she react to seeing me? Seeing she's ignored all the messages I've sent her thrice, would she ignore me today too? Does it mean she's removed me from her life? Well, I guess I'll be finding the answer soon."Boss, I don't think she's in." Alvin announced the moment the car approached the gate."Why do you say so?" I asked."Her car isn't in and from the look of things, they've closed for the day." He explained and I glance towards the entrance and nodded. He was right."Drive in the direction of her home, we might still catch up with her. If we don't
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 25: silent sufferings
NARRATIVE"Carlo Rodriguez!" Adele spat, her expression getting clouded by rage instantly. She made no attempt in covering her spite on seeing him again_the handsome man who once meant everything to her. Looking at him, she wouldn't deny he was more matured, more masculine and much more dreamy. But now, all her heart saw was a monster appearing before her. "How dare you show your face to me again!"Carlo couldn't help but smile sadly, even though she uttered his name in hate, he was strangely glad to hear her say it again. He was impressed by her moves just now against the gangster who wanted to molest her. She was no damsel in distress again and somehow, he knew he caused it. She had built a tough wall around her and wouldn't let anyone hurt her easily again. She saved herself before he even got to her side and that was something Carlo felt strangely uncomfortable about.He was glad she was able to defend herself but at same time, he was sad because she didn't give him the chance to
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 26: Producing counterfeits
NARRATIVE "Yes, Ms. He's still unconscious although it's been a few days now." Alvin reported over the phone to Brenda while he stared at Carlo sleeping on his bed. "That's normal, at least he's not fallen unconscious for a week in a while now. This means, we're making progress. Please make sure to give him the drugs accordingly when he regains consciousness." "Yes, Ms." "Thank you Alvin, Please keep an eye on him, let me know when he wakes. I want to have a talk with him." Alvin was about to reply her when he saw Carlo stirred slightly before his eyes fluttered open. "He's awake Ma'am. I have to attend to him immediately so I'm hanging up now." He said, standing up from his chair, disconnecting the call and keeping the phone before he hurried to Carlo's side. "Boss," Carlo sits up the bed, leaning against the headboard as he looks around. "What time is it Alvin? How are things going with Claire Rock's issue?" Alvin who was slightly surprised to hear him say this after hi
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 27: His feelings were Instant
NARRATIVE Adele looked between her friends, eager to know what's up. What was making them so edgy. "Actually, we recently found out about Carlo. He was alive unlike how we assumed." Lu Cheng finally announced as they keenly watch Adele's reaction to this news. Adele had a blank expression on her face such that they couldn't read what she was thinking. Adele finally let out a sigh, leaning backwards and running a hand through her hair. Her friends have been so sincere and had stayed true with her despite all the years but she was the one who hadn't been sincere. She didn't tell them about getting Carlo's packages or even meeting him. She couldn't bring herself to tell them again as she worried that she had troubled them a lot already with her issues. Also, she didn't consider it much of a big deal as she already told him off and it seemed he obeyed. How was she to start apologizing for her insincerity with them since several weeks now? However, Adele knew she had to star

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

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
CHAPTER 95NARRATIVE Smiling into each other's eyes as they ate in silence, Adele couldn't help but keep reminiscing over the events from few minutes ago. 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?"
