Only Till Forever CHAPTER 38: Falling for you.
ADELE'S POV "What's that just now? Was that Clara?" "Clara's here?" My friends simultaneously asked the moment I ended the conversation with my sister on phone. "I'm stunned myself. She's at the airport." I glance down at my phone which just beeped. Tapping on the screen, I found a message from Clara. She'd sent me a photo. "Girls, Clara ain't joking. She's really here. She sent me a photo, look." I said, as I stood up from my couch and walked close to show them the photo she'd sent. "Woah! Clara is heck crazy!" Cheng gasped. "I second that." Lana agreed. "She didn't say she was coming over. To think that we chatted yesterday and she didn't give me the slightest hint. Y'all keep surprising me of recent. First, it was you girls who showed up so sweetly without informing me, now it's Clara. Would I be wrong if I say y'all are bad influence to my sister?" I gushed, gasping dramatically at the end. Making them giggle like little kids. "We're good influence, girl."

Turning around, she saw Clara standing with such wide grin by her luggage as she waved gleefully at her. "Clara!"

Clara said smugly from Adele's shoulders, making her chuckle. "Come on now, Let's go to my place. We'll talk on the way." Adele said, slightly patting her back. "Sure," Clara grinned.____ Alvin who had stalked Adele to the airport immediately took a photo of Clara from his hideout.

The girl is her younger sister." "Okay, Boss."____CANADA, OTTAWABRENDA'S POV Hearing Rhys words result

He had called to let me know he'd be checking on me earlier and I didn't hesitate in letting him come to my place. "Hey Buddy!" I smiled as we hugged. "How are you doing dear?" He smiled at me. "Awesome. Come on in. There's someone I'd love you to meet." "Really?" He raised his brow and I chuckled. "Don't worry, you'll see for yourself." I said and motioned him inside. The moment we both stepped inside my living room, Arsenio's gaze landed on my sister and the words that came out of his mouth got everyone laughing. "Wow! You never mentioned you were a twin, Adele." "We look alike right?" Clara who was stroking Lily's fur on her laps at the moment, asked with a chuckle. "Yeah. So much. The only difference I see between you both is in your hair color. If I'd seen you elsewhere I'd have mistaken you for Adele with the thought that she'd dyed her hair." Arsenio continue

It was way past 7pm already, trust Clara to keep him up till this time. The moment Adele was outside, Arsenio's car drove inside her compound. She'd opened the gate from inside the house earlier. "Sis!" Clara who was already out of the car squealed, making Adele chuckle as she walked to them. "I wouldn't bother to ask if you had fun cuz I'm sure you did." "Oh, you have no idea. Your boyfriend is such a goal. He's gorgeous, sweet, caring and rich. What more can a girl ask for?" Clara said as she waved the leather bags she was holding so her sister could see. The moment Arsenio stepped out of his car, Clara

NARRATIVE Geraldine was just about to take the elevator upstairs from the first floor_where she'd gone to inspect some newly bought materials, when she heard the sounds of several bikes speeding in the direction of the company's building. DeLa's Fashion House was located not so far from the highway. The building exterior was partly made of glass but all the windows were made of glass. When Geraldine heard this sound, she paused on her attempt of using the elevator and immediately retraced her steps, walking in her pencil skirt business wear to take a look outside. Before she even reached midway towards the exit, several shots were heard in the air making everyone in the building tremble for fear_employees and clients alike. She immediately tried placing a call to the head security outside. "Hello Head Security, is everything alright outside?" "No Ms. It's beyond our control at the moment. These guys outnumber us and they are heavily armed too." "With guns?"
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 43: Who sent you?
NARRATIVE Alvin speed off in his car in pursuit of the bikers who were immediately taking off after fulfilling their purpose. Several meters down the highway, he brought out a small pistol from the cabinet of the car. With a hand on the steering wheel and the other wielding the weapon, he aimed it out the window at the tyre of the closest biker. His shot made the biker lose control of the bike and somersaulted several times to the floor, the bike laying several meters from him. The others sped off not bothering to check on their injured partner. Alvin immediately stopped his car the moment he was close to the guy. He hurriedly stepped out of the car and walked to the fallen man before he could even think of escaping again. Without a word, he gave him a hard kick across his stomach before he effortlessly pulled him up, taking off his helmet and dragging him to the car._____ "Sis! You're back early. How was work today?" Clara cheerfully asked as she walked down the sta

CARLO'S POV 'Seeing you here now makes me mad! I can't help but imagine how you're here at such a time, makes me think you might have a hand in this! I mean, if you could abandon the woman you claimed to love on the day of your matrimony, what other spiteful thing can you not do? Who knows, you might have staged this also so I can fall for your devious trap again!' Those words kept reverberating in my ears. I keep hearing her angry voice and hateful words in my head.Adele! How could you do this to me?!I raised the glass of beer to my mouth again and in one shot emptied its content. My eyes felt hot, tears blurred my vision as I poured beer again to my glass. I dropped the bottle and picked up the glass from the table, looking into the dark night from my rooftop patio. All I've ever done was love her sincerely, protected and cared for her. How is it that she won't even give me a chance to explain myself? "Hahaha! Hahahaha!!" I laughed out mirthlessly as tears roll
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 45: The culprits
NARRATIVE "Yes, I'm dressed to go to work already. I told you I was gonna tell you if I'd change my mind." Adele waved back at Clara as she walked out of the house. She was on a phone call with Lu Cheng. As she walked towards her car, another car drove to her building and stopped by the gate. "Alright Cheng, I'll see you later then." She said and hung up. She placed the phone inside her handbag and turned to the gate. Adele smiled and walked up to him when she finds it's Arsenio. He'd promised to check on her today. Trust him to fulfill his words. "Good morning." She smiled as she opened the gate for him to enter. "Good morning beautiful. How are doing? I'm sorry about the damages your company suffered yesterday. I hope to hear positively from the police today. "Thank you Arsenio." Adele smiled at him. "I see you're about going to work." Arsenio looked over her appearance and smiled.

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

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

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

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

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

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."

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?"
