Only Till Forever CHAPTER 46: Arrested
CLARA'S POV I swung my hips along to the music booming loudly from the huge music box I'd brought along. My sister isn't much of a music person so I knew if I wasn't willing to die from boredom at her place, I'd better take my bestie with me. Yo! My bestie is my music box. Currently, what am I doing? Well, I'm dancing my way to the kitchen to get me a glance of milk. I smiled on seeing Adele's pretty photo on the wall before I danced off. The few days I'd been here, I must say I haven't heard Adele mentioned anything concerning her past relationship with Carlo. I've been the one teasing her about Arsenio who's clearly smitten by her or rather, in love with her since -who knows when- I don't know why she wouldn't give him a chance. He's a good guy by every standard possible. Also, I haven't told her that Carlo sent people to the house to ask of her whereabouts several times since three years after she left home. I'm yet to tell her because I don't know how she'll
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 47: What's my brother doing?
ADELE'S POV I suddenly felt the urge to cry as I stared after his retreating figure in shock.Carlo ignored me! But why am I bothered? Why do I feel so worthless? Isn't this what I've always wanted?! Don't I want him out of my life forever like I've screamed about?! Have I gotten used to having him around me in such a short while? Has my heart opened up to him again?!Jeez! This is just too much! I pursed my lips and blinked back the tears that had pooled at my eyes. I nodded slowly and turned around. "Isn't this a good thing?" I turned sideways to Arsenio. "He seemed to have given up. This is good." He smiled and I forced a smile too. "I mean, we won't have to pretend to be in a relationship because of him, we could make it real instead." I glared at him immediately and he started laughing. "Just look at your face. Hahahaha." "Sschh!" I scoffed and began walking towards the car park. "Come on, my friend's waiting for me." I said. "Aye aye captain." He chuckled, w
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 48: He's my elder brother
ADELE'S POV "C'mmon come off it already." Lu Cheng said after I'd explained what happened with Carlo today. As expected, Cheng was already at my company when Arsenio dropped me off. She was waiting at my office lobby. Mira was kind enough to serve her tea while she waited for me. Now we were in my office. "If he ignored you that's his business. We actually wanted him out since. Wasn't that the plan? Or, don't tell me you fell for him again." She said seriously and I hurriedly disagreed. "No. Not at all. I was just surprised he ignored me that easily. You know..." I shrugged and took a sip of my tea. "Well, just forget about him. Personally, I'm glad he didn't bother you again after that time. I wouldn't need to confront him again, as I'd thought of doing earlier." She said. "You were going to do that? No need for that Cheng. I think he'll stay away." I said and she nodded. "I heard there's a gala coming up soon in NYC. Are you attending?" Lu Cheng asked curiously
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 49: He took her photo
NARRATIVE Brenda leaned back on her seat as she listened to John give her all the information about her younger brother's activities these few days_what he was aware of though. "I can't believe he's risking it all for this girl yet she's not even responding positively. Do I have to intervene and scream it into her ears that Carlo has been saving and protecting both her and her company from reaching rock bottom ever since he saw her again?!" Brenda exclaimed the moment she heard what John said about Carlo helping Adele's fashion house find the culprits behind the recent attack. Brenda was even more stunned when she heard the woman behind this attack and the previous ones, was here in Ottawa. "You must make sure that woman is deported back to America and placed behind bars. I don't want any trouble for my brother in future." She said and John bowed slightly. "Yes, Ma'am." "You may leave now." Brenda said as she turned her attention to her laptop on the desk._____
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 50: Shocking revelations
NARRATIVE "Woah! This is huge! So beautiful." Clara gushed the moment she'd stepped out the car in the parking space of her sister's company. Adele chuckled as she closed the door after her and walked to Clara's side. Clara was gaping at the building which_surprisingly, had been fixed to the manner it used to be before the gangsters attack. Geraldine told her the workers insisted on finishing up the work earlier than usual so she let them, provided they used the right materials. "Come on, let's go in." Adele said and Clara nodded and walked with her towards the entrance door. The security guards at the gate immediately bowed slightly in greetings to her before they proceeded to make way for them to enter. As soon as the glass doors gave way and Clara was inside the first floor of the building, she was gaping again. The interior was even more exquisite than the exterior and it was a huge building. "Sis, this is impressive! You're impressive!" She said and Adele just
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 51: Carlo's truth
NARRATIVEArsenio stepped out of the commissioner's office just at the moment Adele was about walking in."Oh Adele," he smiled. "You're done?""Huh?" Adele removed her hand from her forehead and nodded enthusiastically at him. "Yeah. I feel better now that I've met her and gotten to know the reason why she hates my company so much.""Really? What was the reason?" Arsenio asked curiously."You would be surprised." Adele sighed as they began to walk down the corridor, in the direction of the elevator. "She was envious of my success in the fashion industry.""Sounds silly. Hope you didn't let it bother you?""Of course not. Thanks to her, I've learned a lot of lessons." She chuckled."I know right." Arsenio smiled. "Should we stop by a fancy restaurant for lunch?" "No Arsenio. I'd skip for today." Several thoughts flashed across Adele's mind that moment. "There's something I need to do." She said and he nodded."By the way, are you okay?" Adele raised her gaze to him questioningly. "I m
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 52: A new plan
NARRATIVE "Clara, don't give it much thoughts. I'm sure Adele would understand with you and wouldn't hold it against your family either." Cheng said with a reassuring smile at Clara. "You think so?" Clara sniffed as she wiped her tears with the wipe Lu Cheng gave her. "I know so, Clara. It was all to protect her, she'll understand." She gently touched Clara's arm reassuringly. "Alright. I'll believe in your words, sis Cheng. Thank you so much for today." Clara felt instantly relieved as though she'd been carrying a huge burden in her heart for a long time. "You're welcome, Clara." Cheng smiled. Although Lu Cheng still felt within her that something must have happened with Carlo years ago, which may be why he lingered to return for Adele. Lana would have an idea on what to do about this situation in other to help Adele. Cheng thought within her.____CANADA, OTTAWA Rhys paused on his attempt at knocking on the Chairwoman's office door when he found it to be sli
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 53: The invisible force
NARRATIVE "Geraldine, where's Mira?" Adele asked as she stepped out of her office, closing the door after her. Geraldine who was about to enter her's, paused on seeing Adele. "For some reasons, Mira had to sign off work earlier than usual today." She explained. "Oh, I see." Adele nodded slightly. "Ms. Rivera, is there anything you want her to do for you?" Geraldine curiously asked. "Not really, I was going to ask her to get someone to drive me to Relish Hotels_since my sister is yet to return with my car." "Oh, okay. I'd send someone to ready a car for you now." Geraldine quickly said and Adele smiled. "Thank you, Geraldine." Geraldine smiled and went on do as she'd said.CANADA, OTTAWABRENDA'S POV As much as I understand Rhys's reason for leaving was sincere, I couldn't stop the tears that kept rolling down my cheeks_especially after I got a text from a random stalker online. *At this rate, seems like you're likely to die single.* This was what that

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
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?" Carlo asked again, his eyes eagerly searching mine. I smiled through my tears and nodded vigorously at him. "Yes!" The flash of relief and joy I saw in Carlo's eyes when he heard me, made me feel like I was floating on air. "Yes please!!" I repeated v
