"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.

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

Not long afterwards, they arrived at a checkpoint and on looking out the window, one of them sighted the police and almost panicked but his partner was quick to give him a warning glare. "Be cool! Remember what the boss had said. If we are found out, we'll be the ones going down not her. Do you understand?!"

    ARSENIO'S POV I was driving along Adele's neighborhood on my way to her place. My plan was a perfect, weekend surprise visit. However, my joy was short lived the moment I looked out the window. My face turned sour immediately. She was standing and talking with an unfamiliar man along the pedestrian. On looking closer, I found it's none other than her ex fiance, the CEO of CR's Luxury, Carlo Rodriguez. I don't like this! I hate what I see now and I'm not going to sit back and do nothing while he crawls back into her heart. He disrespected, humiliated and broke her six years ago. He has no right over her again! I'll make sure of it. Pulling up at the side of the road, I hurriedly stepped out of my car and hastily but determinedly walked towards them just in time to hear her say; "Let go..." She said, although her voice sounded weak_as though she was considering his request. For her sake and my sake, I had to intervene. "I'm pretty sure the lady said you should let go!"

    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

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

    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

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

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.

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."
