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 CHAPTER 54: The fault of her parents
NARRATIVE "Sis Adele," Adele heard Clara called as she knocked on her room door. Adele's eyes were wide open and she had some eyebags due to lack of sleep. She couldn't sleep for hours since she returned from the company yesternight. Forcing herself to sit up her bed, she pushed the duvet off upper body as she leaned against her bed's headboard and stared at her room door. "Come in, Clara." She said. The door opened and Clara gasped when she saw her sister's face. "Sis? What's happened? You didn't sleep, did you?" Adele smiled slightly and shake her head. "Don't worry Clara, I slept a bit. With the recent events surrounding my company I've just been so stressed out and had a lot to think of." She raised a hand to her face and pushed off the strands of hair on her face. Clara nodded slightly, even though she didn't buy her sister's response. "That's why you should take a break off work today and sleep to your heart's content. Rest your mind from the trou
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 55: Adele's fears
ARSENIO'S POV I walked out of my office as I dialed Adele's number. Since we had lunch at a restaurant in town together and coincidentally met her ex on the way out, she's been acting really different_somehow distant. Although the guy hasn't showed up again since then, I can't understand this feeling of uneasiness that seems to envelop me of recent. Walking through the glass doors that led to my private studio, I listened to the call tune from her end. It's ringing but she's not picking up. Is she alright? I wondered. "Mr. Alessandro. It's a good thing you're here. I was about to send someone for the second time to get you here." Vera_one of my top clients, said the moment I walked in the large studio room. "I'm sorry about the delay." I apologized, beckoning an assistant over and placing my phone in his care. "It's fine. You must have been having a conversation with your girlfriend." She suggestively stated. "Ah," I gave her a cryptic smile. "Let's get to w
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 56: Fix me in
NARRATIVE "Adele, I really don't know what to say at this point." Clara admitted, as she stared at her sister concernedly. "The only solution to everything now, is to find a way to meet with Carlo ASAP! The heavens must really want you to be together, seeing the circumstances surrounding your relationship even after six years." Lana sighed. "I agree, Adele. Even though you might still feel horrible, now isn't the time to let those feelings overwhelm you anymore. Now is the time you have to talk it out with Carlo no matter what. I still think there's really something about his sudden disappearance six years ago he wants to tell you. I just hope the reason is sincere." Cheng stated. "It has to be, seeing his consistency even after our parents never granted him audience." Clara said. "Sis, I just hope when all these is finally over, you can find true happiness again. You deserve every bit of it!" Adele smiled over their words. "Thank you girls. You've been supportive a
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 57: Becoming a Villain
ARSENIO'S POV "Arsenio," I stopped on my track on seeing Adele standing just outside my private studio. "Hey, good morning. Why didn't you come in? Hope you've not been waiting for long?" I smiled as I stepped closer to her. "I'm just arriving actually. You seem busy..." "No I'm not. I just wrapped things up." I interrupted and she nodded slightly. "Okay." I glance over her simple dressing and smiled. "Hope you've been resting fine? You seem a bit unusual." I stated and she smiled warmly. "I'm fine. Don't worry." "Alright, come with me." I said as we began to walk down the corridor, towards the elevator that'll lead us to my private penthouse at the top floor.ADELE'S POV I sipped from my cup of Italian coffee absentmindedly. I was sitting across from Arsenio, watching him work on his laptop_although my thoughts were long gone from him. All through the drive down here, I'd imagined and hoped Carlo would suddenly show up like he's done in the past. I wish
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 58: The mix up
NARRATIVE "What are you doing Mira?" Mira looked up from the small pile of colored cards and rose flowers_some drying off already, that was laying on her desk. She turned around and smiled warmly at Geraldine who was standing by her office door. "I'm about getting rid of these packages that has been coming in for Ms. Adele since she says not to send them to her again. Why?" She explained and Geraldine stepped inside the office fully. "Don't trash them. Send them to my office if you're uncomfortable with it piling here." Mira narrowed her eyes at her. "Why can't I trash them? Ms. Adele clearly instructed not to have them sent to her again." "My instinct says not to trash them yet. I feel she'll need it soon." Geraldine insisted and Mira nodded. "Oh, okay. If you say so." ____ Adele walked back into the living area of Arsenio's penthouse and found him standing and looking so disturbed as he waited for her to come back. The moment he turned and saw her, Arsen
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 59: At the gala 1
NARRATIVE "This is amazing Sis Cheng. I mean, I've never been to a fashion gala_actually I've never been to a gala before." Clara gushed right beside Lana and Cheng as they walked into the grand hall. The girls smiled as they took their seats at the round table amongst others in the grand hall. They didn't bother exchanging pleasantries with people because they weren't familiar with many there. They only came because of Adele and also, to socialize if necessary, to broaden their knowledge about the fashion industry and to get familiar with the identities of the most affluential people in New York City. The gala was just starting, several top designers and models in New York City already arrived, showing off their diverse, colorful and exquisite designs as they walked the red carpet and up the stairs. The paparazzi in their distinguished 'black-theme' wears, stood by either side of the red carpet, taking photos and filming the events with their cameras and phones. Whil
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 60: The man she loves
NARRATIVE Arsenio stared at Adele silently as he watched the diverse emotions reflecting on her face. At first she was smiling, then suddenly she looked nervous and now she looked really shocked to the extent she'd dropped her phone on the floor. What could it be? He swallowed nothing as he watched her for a while, trying to calm his thoughts before he'll say or do something that'll piss her off again. Especially since they are fast approaching the hotel at this moment. "Adele, is everything alright? Are you okay?" He asked, leaning closer to her. "Huh?" Adele looked up from her fallen phone and into Arsenio's searching eyes. Fearing his naturally compelling eyes would make her spill, she blinked severally, closed her parted lips and hurriedly retrieved her phone from the floor. "What is it? Are you okay? Did anyone threaten you? Why do you look so stunned?" "It's nothing, Arsenio. I'm fine." She briskly said as she immediately kept her phone in her purse bag. "Adele, you'r

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?" Carlo asked again, his eyes eagerly searching mine. I smiled through my tears and nodded vigorously at him. "Yes!"
