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 CHAPTER 84: Please let me apologize
~Few weeks later ~NARRATIVE The past few weeks has gone down smoothly for Adele. It was a break from work and stress which was well deserved. Everyday, she sat by Carlo's bedside, talking to him about random things in the evening and reading out books to him in the morning. There's still no certainty yet, to confirm he'd be regaining consciousness anytime soon. As usual, Brenda had long gone to work, Alvin was out and except for the chief butler and few other in-house workers, Adele was alone once again. It's not something she felt though, as she's always been the indoor kinda woman. Also, having to see Carlo daily, waking up by his side on many occasions, talking and reading to him, aided greatly in healing her one-time broken heart completely. It's a lovely Wednesday morning, Adele was reading Carlo a book again and she wondered if he was really hearing her as it's often said about coma patients. "...then Bernie leaned up to face Luca and grinned toothily. 'Of co
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 85: Arsenio's apology_He moved his fingers
ADELE'S POV I walked into the cafe and scanned around for Arsenio. Soon enough, my eyes fell on him. His table was at the far end of the restaurant, his back was turned to me and his head was bowed slightly, probably he's anxious. I noticed he had his hair up in a bun and as usual, he was dressed casually_though his outfits are expensive. I took off my huge dark shades, putting it in my handbag and pulled the scarf I had on, down my face before I walked up to him. "Hey," I said as I walked past his side to the chair opposite him. Immediately Arsenio saw me, he stood up abrubtly. "Hi...Ad...Adele," He stuttered nervously. I smiled lopsidedly as I sat down on the chair and dropped my bag on the table. "It's been a while, Arsenio." I said and he nodded slowly. "Thank you for coming, Adele." He said after a brief silence. "Do you mind if I order a drink for you?" "Not a bad idea." I replied and he nodded, immediately turning to beckon a waiter over. Minutes l
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 86: He regained consciousness
BRENDA'S POV I stepped out of the car and nodded to my driver. He bowed his head slightly before turning around and walking to the driver side of the car. Soon, he drove out of the compound and I was left alone at the quiet park. I was about placing a call to Rhys when I heard his voice behind me. "Here," I turned around and smiled. "Hey," I ran my eyes over his outfit and my smile deepened. I think this is the first time I'm seeing him on casual outfit unlike the business suit or tuxedo he always wears at the company. "You look dashing still, even outta the tuxedo." "Really?" He smiled and I nodded, walking closer to him. He was leaning by his car, dressed in dark jean and tight white top which revealed much of his drool worthy, perfectly chiseled muscles and white canvas. A small but lovely silver necklace, hung on his neck and his hands were initially tucked in his jean pockets. "Why does this feel like we're on a date?" Rhys said suggestively as he leaned away

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
