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 CHAPTER 79: Sign the papers or she die
NARRATIVE~Six years ago~Philippines, Quezon City. Staring at Mayven in shock, Carlo was lost for words. He never felt more betrayed than now. What was his offense to her? Only because he broke up with her a long time ago because she cheated on him severally, extorted money from him on numerous occasions and her character made him fall out of love with her. Now she has blackmailed him and not only that, she's working with people to threaten the life of his woman and on such a day as this. Thinking through his options at hand, Carlo knew that if he didn't go, they might harm Adele for real. If he retreats now and call the police, he'd be doing more harm than good because either ways, Adele could still be hurt_Mayven still has the sex tape. He didn't care about his situation or what happened to him. He just wanted to make sure Adele was fine and wouldn't come to any harm. "Fine!" He finally said and Mayven's eyes glistened excitedly. "You've made the right choice.
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 80: How it happened
PRESENTLY~New York City~NARRATIVE "Here you go. It's okay." Brenda said, passing another pack of tissue to Adele. All three packs were already used by her yet, she still had tears running out her eyes. "T...thank you." Adele sobbed as she wiped her nose and eyes. "I really...I really had no idea such a thing happened. How hard must it have been for him..." She said, glancing at Carlo's direction. "If I were in such a situation too, I wonder if I'd be able to give up my family's properties because of him. I had no either how much he suffered, yet I went on hating him for seve...several years. I really deserved to be punished." She cried. "Oh Adele, it's okay. That's in the past, I'm telling you all this now in place of Carlo. He searched for you for long immediately he was out of his coma. He wanted to tell you he didn't abandoned you. It was partly my fault too. I should have reached out to your family too as soon as it happened. But I didn't think it through, I was more co
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 81: Someone else took him
PRESENTLY,~New York City~NARRATIVE "Indeed, it's because of me." Adele sighed, sniffing back her tears as she wiped her nose. No matter how she tried to hold back her tears, she just couldn't. She knew she'd be hating herself for a long time. "Because of me, he was in that situation. How terrified he must have felt..." "He slipped into coma due to immerse shock and he developed heart failure at that moment." Brenda said as she took a sip from her teacup, pausing momentarily before she continued. "Carlo thought it was over immediately he signed the documents, he didn't know Konstantin and his men had other plans for him. They didn't plan to let him live at all. Thankfully, we got there just in time before they ran their car over him in his unconscious state. Today, Konstantin and his cohorts are still in jail. But recently...ah, never mind." Brenda smiled, deciding not to bother Adele about Rowan's presence at this moment. She placed her teacup back on the table and s
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 82: Don't search for Rowan
ADELE'S POV The rays of the morning sun coming from the open windows in Carlo's room, seemed to be shining directly on my face, making me blink my lashes several times before my eyes adjusted completely to the brightness. Slowly, I raised my head up from his bed and glanced at him. He was still the same, no improvement yet. I had stayed up the previous night, wishing he'd at least move a finger miraculously or open his eyes. While watching him, I must have fallen asleep with my head on his bed. "Good morning Carlo. Can you hear me?" I began, reaching my hands to his. "I know that no amount of words I'd say would make up for the pains I'd caused you. That's why you should wake up quickly and punish me as you deem fit." I said as I brush my thumb on his hand gently. "I've been so stubborn, so unyielding and so unforgiving to you whereas it should have been the other way around, since I was the cause of your misery. I'm sincerely sorry. I hope you can wake up soon and talk to me.
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 83: Promise me
BRENDA'S POV I stared at him in shock, my jaw almost dropping to the floor. Blinking my eyelashes several times, I instantly retrieved my hand from his and took two steps backwards. "How...how did you know about Rowan, Rhys? How did you know I was searching for him? What do you mean by I won't find him?" I asked, my eyes not leaving his. Yes of course, he's my PA but I've never discussed Rowan or my past relationships with him. Neither did I tell anyone other than John and some of our underlings about Rowan. I mean, this only happened yesterday and I've been so discreet about it so how did he know? Rhys sighed and pushed a hand through his hair. "Brenda, actually there's something I have to tell you." He said. "But first, I'd need you to sit down and listen to me." "Sure, of course. I'd listen." I hurriedly affirmed, walking to sit on one of the chairs in his office. I'm curious about how much of me he knows already and also what he meant by me not finding Rowan e

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
