Only Till Forever CHAPTER 71: Come to Canada, let's meet.
NARRATIVE "It's a pleasure you had invited us in for this purpose." The young female interviewer said with a smile as her colleague nodded in support. "Thanks for coming." Arsenio smiled before he leaned back on the couch. He invited them specifically to his penthouse because he wanted to clear the misunderstanding he created by kissing Adele and he also wanted to publicly apologize to her. "Alright, shall we begin?" "Sure," He smiled, rubbing his hands together.ADELE'S POV "Sis Adele, welcome. Your friends are already here." Clara said as she opened the door of my home for me. "Really? That was fast." I said as I stepped into the corridor. Immediately Lisa left my office, I had called the girls and asked them to meet up at my place. Over the phone, I already told them about my conversation with Lisa and we agreed to call her brother_Carlo's right hand man when I get home. "I'm home, you guys." I said excitedly as Clara and I walked in my living room. "
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 72: Chasing after him
NARRATIVE Adele felt something cold on her forehead and slowly, she opened her eyes, blinking her lashes severally to adjust to the brightness of the room. "Adele! Finally you're awake!" "Hey! How could you do such a thing to us?" "Sis, you have no idea how scared I was." Adele glanced around slowly at her friends and sister who had surrounded her bed and were panicky because of her. "This is the second time such a thing is happening. Remember, the first time was at the wedding." "Clara you didn't have to mention that, you ended up reminding her about the reason she fainted again." Lana chided Clara who immediately bit her lip regretfully. Hearing their words, Adele was instantly reminded of her current situation. Carlo... Canada! Instantly, she sat up the bed, tossing the duvet off and removing the wet towel from her head. "I'd...I'd go to him. I have to go to him." She muttered as she climbed off the bed. "What are you doing, Adele?" "You hav
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 73: All gone wrong
NARRATIVE "Mira, did Ms. Adele probably sent you a text?" Geraldine asked as she stepped into Mira's office. "Ah, yes." Mira replied, raising her gaze from her laptop to Geraldine. "Something about an emergency journey. Wait, let me see." She picked up her phone from the desk and tapped on it. "Found it!" She smiled. "I'd just read it out." "I'm going on an emergency journey and wouldn't be available for a while. In my absence, my sister would assist in running the company. Please take good care of her as you would to me. Don't forget what we've talked about the last time. I'd try to keep in touch." Mira read out loud. Glancing back at Geraldine who had her arms crossed beneath her chest, she asked. "Did she send something similar to you too?" "This is exactly what she sent. I just hope she's fine. I came to you because I thought she'd left you her location but she didn't." Geraldine replied as she cast a glance in the direction of the TV on the wall. "Ms. Adele's proba
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 74: An unfinished business/ Adele's arrival
NARRATIVE Mira quietly glanced around the exquisite and cozy office. Her eyes soon fell on the bouquet of red roses on the desk. Trailing her eyes back to Arsenio, she noticed how frustrated he looked. But of course, she can't meddle in his affairs when they're not so close. Somehow, she was glad Ms. Adele had assigned this new duty to her. "Take the bouquet away. It's such a waste anyway!" She heard him say to his PA. "Yes, sir." The other walked forward and took the bouquet off the desk. He bowed slightly before he exited the office. Now alone with him, Mira decided to say something else to at least distract him from his sour mood. "The portraits," she began, running her eyes over a section of his grand office, her eyes fixed on some paintings on the wall. Arsenio closed his eyes and took in a sharp breath before he turned around to her, accessing her looks fully for the first time. She was pretty, really pretty. But her looks got nothing to do with him at
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 75: Pathway to the truth
BRENDA'S POV "Rowan was here. Are you aware? Since when has he been out of prison?" I asked as I paced about the living area of my penthouse. He was silent for a while. "How comes he's out of prison? Why didn't you give me a hint all these while? Rowan is a cunning bastard who's not to be underestimated. Haven't you been keeping tabs on him since six years ago?" I went on to ask as I turned to him. "I'm sorry, Chairwoman. I recently found out he's been bailed out of prison because he was only an accomplice and because the victim's alive. I didn't want to bother you with this news because of the CEO's condition at the moment." John bowed his head in apology. "What! That's the main reason I should be aware so I'd know how well I'd be able to protect Carlo more. He was bailed?" I scoffed. "So because he was lucky enough to be pardoned he thinks the first thing he could do was show me his damned face? Well, I can make sure he's never able to feel the rays of the sun again.
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 76: I'm sorry
NARRATIVE As Adele followed Alvin's lead into the big family house, her eyes scanned the few family photos she could see hanging on the walls of the big, grand living room. This was the house Carlo grew up in as a child until_on his sister's request and after their parents burial, he had to stay back at his home country_Philippines, for a while. Under the care of a well trusted woman. His mother was a beautiful woman... She noted. "This way, Ms. Adele." She looked ahead at Alvin and found him beckoning her towards the flight of stairs nearby. "Uhm," she nodded slightly at him. Adele let her fingers clench at her coat for support, before she spared one more glance at the large old family photo, hanging high up the wall. Taking a deep breath in, she turned around and walked after Alvin. Moments later, they arrived at the door of Carlo's room and without hesitation, Alvin turned the knob and pushed the door open, ushering her inside. Adele paused briefly, taking a
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 77: Rhys's Identity
NARRATIVE With his head resting against his car's headrest, his eyes closed and a hand on the steering wheel, Rhys let his thoughts wander about for a while. His car was parked right outside CR's Luxury and he'd been here since Brenda's car drove out of the company. Seconds later, he removed his hand from the wheel, opening his eyes as he retrieved his phone from the phone holder. Tapping on the screen and staring at the wallpaper, his lips curled up into a smile at her photo he'd used as his phone's wallpaper. Gently, he rubbed his finger against the part of the screen that her face was as he let himself drift through memory lane of the first time he'd seen her.FLASHBACK ~six years ago. Atlanta, Georgia~ "Boss, the chairman found out you were at the nightclub yesterday. He sent someone over since you wouldn't pick his calls." His PA announced and the young man at the back seat of the car, smirked. He was already exhausted from having to attend this business conf
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 78: How it all began
NARRATIVE~Six years ago~Philippines, Quezon City. "I'm at the location now. You mustn't forget our deal. Do your part and I do mine. Never mention my name again as soon as this is over." Mayven said as she stared through her huge glasses at the entrance of the mall. "Sure. A deal is a deal, Mayven. I'm sure you're excited about your share of the money as well, that aside, you can also get your revenge. Or, do you like that he's going to get married to someone else today?" The man at the other end said mockingly. "You're such a loud mouth Rowan. It's sad that the poor chairwoman fell for a scumbag as you. Anyway, it's not my business. Tell the guys to be on standby and also, send a photo to him too. He's a stubborn person, he might not likely come with me." "Ignoring your previous remarks Mayven, we both know you're also doing this because of the benefits too. If he doesn't come with you, then you must go with the next plan. In all, today's mission must be successful. I

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!"
