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 CHAPTER 87: Letting her go
NARRATIVE She raced up the stairs, her excitement almost consuming her. Her younger brother had amazingly and miraculously, regained consciousness within a month of coma. Nothing else mattered more to her, than meeting him now. Rhys was right at her heels as she pushed the door to Carlo's room open and speedily entered the room. "Carlo!" Brenda called in joy and relief as she hurried to his bed side, ignoring everyone else in the room. "You're welcome, Chairwoman." Doctor Simon said with a slight bow of his head. Alvin stood at the side, watching the scene just as Rhys walked into the room too. Adele was standing beside Carlo's bed too, occasional stealing glances at him. The oxygen mask had been removed and he'd already recovered greatly to the amazement of everyone. Only that, he's yet to say a word. For some seconds, he'd stared at everyone, blankly on seeing them. "Carlo, you stubborn boy." Brenda sobbed, leaning down his side and holding his hand in hers as tears
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 88: Our kiss of ecstasy
~One week later~ADELE'S POV I walked out of the kitchen, drying my slightly wet hand on the pink apron I had on. It's been an amazing experience here since the day Carlo regained consciousness. I mean, my time devoted to taking care of him felt like a travel down memory lane for both of us. It made me realize how much I've missed being in his company and it felt as though we were married. The girls are aware that he's out of coma now. Their reaction to the news was priceless. Lana's delivery date was fast approaching and I hope Carlo's fully recovered before then. There's been remarkable progress in his recovery rate in the past one week. He was talking fine again. "Hey Adele, good morning." I stopped on my track in the living room, raising my gaze towards the stairs only to see Brenda, hurrying down the stairs excitedly. She looked really beautiful in her elegant business jumpsuit and her dyed blonde hair.was held up in a low chignon. "Good morning Brenda." I gri
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 89: Wedding guests_The white dress
NARRATIVE Adele sat on her vanity, staring with a smile at the exquisite wristwatch glistening on the glass. She was glad she didn't give it to Mira anymore. Now as she tried it on her wrist, it fitted perfectly. This was CR's Luxury product. This design was something Carlo had made a long time ago and she was glad he accomplished his goals. Humming softly, she stared at her reflection in the mirror and her fingers gently touched her lips, making her recall the passionate moment she and Carlo just shared and she giggled. For a while she sat there, relishing in the moment before she decided to go have her bath.___NEW YORK CITY Arsenio walked into the private cafeteria to find Mira waiting for him. He smiled and walked to her side. "Hello, Mr Alessandro." She greeted immediately she saw him coming. "Hello." He said, pulling out a chair and sitting down. Mira placed a file on the table and pushed it towards him. "These are the files I've compiled like you reque
Only Till Forever CHAPTER 90: Officially a couple
ADELE'S POV I stared with widened eyes at Carlo. What does this mean? What does he mean? 'I've been thinking, Adele. Would you mind wearing the white dress again?' His words repeated in my head, emphasis on the second sentence. OMG! Is this what I'm thinking it is? A proposal?... For some seconds, I was silent while my heart kept leaping joyously within me. "Ah, I mean the dress you had on few days ago. It does suit you well." He said with a somewhat nervous chuckle while I felt as though I'd been waken to reality from a really enthralling dream. "Oh the dress...ah, I see." I managed a smile to cover my disappointment. "You must really like it. I'd wear it again for you." I said and he smiled. "Thank you." He grinned, unaware of the damages his previous unharmful sentence has caused me. I forced a smile and went back to my phone. Right! There's no need to get ahead of myself... I mean, we have all the time in the world to get married someday, right? Don't 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
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!"
