Lahat ng Kabanata ng Only Till Forever: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

NARRATIVE Geraldine was just about to take the elevator upstairs from the first floor_where she'd gone to inspect some newly bought materials, when she heard the sounds of several bikes speeding in the direction of the company's building. DeLa's Fashion House was located not so far from the highway. The building exterior was partly made of glass but all the windows were made of glass. When Geraldine heard this sound, she paused on her attempt of using the elevator and immediately retraced her steps, walking in her pencil skirt business wear to take a look outside. Before she even reached midway towards the exit, several shots were heard in the air making everyone in the building tremble for fear_employees and clients alike. She immediately tried placing a call to the head security outside. "Hello Head Security, is everything alright outside?" "No Ms. It's beyond our control at the moment. These guys outnumber us and they are heavily armed too." "With guns?"

CARLO'S POV 'Seeing you here now makes me mad! I can't help but imagine how you're here at such a time, makes me think you might have a hand in this! I mean, if you could abandon the woman you claimed to love on the day of your matrimony, what other spiteful thing can you not do? Who knows, you might have staged this also so I can fall for your devious trap again!' Those words kept reverberating in my ears. I keep hearing her angry voice and hateful words in my head.Adele! How could you do this to me?!I raised the glass of beer to my mouth again and in one shot emptied its content. My eyes felt hot, tears blurred my vision as I poured beer again to my glass. I dropped the bottle and picked up the glass from the table, looking into the dark night from my rooftop patio. All I've ever done was love her sincerely, protected and cared for her. How is it that she won't even give me a chance to explain myself? "Hahaha! Hahahaha!!" I laughed out mirthlessly as tears roll

CLARA'S POV I swung my hips along to the music booming loudly from the huge music box I'd brought along. My sister isn't much of a music person so I knew if I wasn't willing to die from boredom at her place, I'd better take my bestie with me. Yo! My bestie is my music box. Currently, what am I doing? Well, I'm dancing my way to the kitchen to get me a glance of milk. I smiled on seeing Adele's pretty photo on the wall before I danced off. The few days I'd been here, I must say I haven't heard Adele mentioned anything concerning her past relationship with Carlo. I've been the one teasing her about Arsenio who's clearly smitten by her or rather, in love with her since -who knows when- I don't know why she wouldn't give him a chance. He's a good guy by every standard possible. Also, I haven't told her that Carlo sent people to the house to ask of her whereabouts several times since three years after she left home. I'm yet to tell her because I don't know how she'll

ADELE'S POV "C'mmon come off it already." Lu Cheng said after I'd explained what happened with Carlo today. As expected, Cheng was already at my company when Arsenio dropped me off. She was waiting at my office lobby. Mira was kind enough to serve her tea while she waited for me. Now we were in my office. "If he ignored you that's his business. We actually wanted him out since. Wasn't that the plan? Or, don't tell me you fell for him again." She said seriously and I hurriedly disagreed. "No. Not at all. I was just surprised he ignored me that easily. You know..." I shrugged and took a sip of my tea. "Well, just forget about him. Personally, I'm glad he didn't bother you again after that time. I wouldn't need to confront him again, as I'd thought of doing earlier." She said. "You were going to do that? No need for that Cheng. I think he'll stay away." I said and she nodded. "I heard there's a gala coming up soon in NYC. Are you attending?" Lu Cheng asked curiously

NARRATIVE "Woah! This is huge! So beautiful." Clara gushed the moment she'd stepped out the car in the parking space of her sister's company. Adele chuckled as she closed the door after her and walked to Clara's side. Clara was gaping at the building which_surprisingly, had been fixed to the manner it used to be before the gangsters attack. Geraldine told her the workers insisted on finishing up the work earlier than usual so she let them, provided they used the right materials. "Come on, let's go in." Adele said and Clara nodded and walked with her towards the entrance door. The security guards at the gate immediately bowed slightly in greetings to her before they proceeded to make way for them to enter. As soon as the glass doors gave way and Clara was inside the first floor of the building, she was gaping again. The interior was even more exquisite than the exterior and it was a huge building. "Sis, this is impressive! You're impressive!" She said and Adele just
