NARRATIVE"Carlo Rodriguez!" Adele spat, her expression getting clouded by rage instantly. She made no attempt in covering her spite on seeing him again_the handsome man who once meant everything to her. Looking at him, she wouldn't deny he was more matured, more masculine and much more dreamy. But now, all her heart saw was a monster appearing before her. "How dare you show your face to me again!"Carlo couldn't help but smile sadly, even though she uttered his name in hate, he was strangely glad to hear her say it again. He was impressed by her moves just now against the gangster who wanted to molest her. She was no damsel in distress again and somehow, he knew he caused it. She had built a tough wall around her and wouldn't let anyone hurt her easily again. She saved herself before he even got to her side and that was something Carlo felt strangely uncomfortable about.He was glad she was able to defend herself but at same time, he was sad because she didn't give him the chance to
NARRATIVE "Yes, Ms. He's still unconscious although it's been a few days now." Alvin reported over the phone to Brenda while he stared at Carlo sleeping on his bed. "That's normal, at least he's not fallen unconscious for a week in a while now. This means, we're making progress. Please make sure to give him the drugs accordingly when he regains consciousness." "Yes, Ms." "Thank you Alvin, Please keep an eye on him, let me know when he wakes. I want to have a talk with him." Alvin was about to reply her when he saw Carlo stirred slightly before his eyes fluttered open. "He's awake Ma'am. I have to attend to him immediately so I'm hanging up now." He said, standing up from his chair, disconnecting the call and keeping the phone before he hurried to Carlo's side. "Boss," Carlo sits up the bed, leaning against the headboard as he looks around. "What time is it Alvin? How are things going with Claire Rock's issue?" Alvin who was slightly surprised to hear him say this after hi
NARRATIVE Adele looked between her friends, eager to know what's up. What was making them so edgy. "Actually, we recently found out about Carlo. He was alive unlike how we assumed." Lu Cheng finally announced as they keenly watch Adele's reaction to this news. Adele had a blank expression on her face such that they couldn't read what she was thinking. Adele finally let out a sigh, leaning backwards and running a hand through her hair. Her friends have been so sincere and had stayed true with her despite all the years but she was the one who hadn't been sincere. She didn't tell them about getting Carlo's packages or even meeting him. She couldn't bring herself to tell them again as she worried that she had troubled them a lot already with her issues. Also, she didn't consider it much of a big deal as she already told him off and it seemed he obeyed. How was she to start apologizing for her insincerity with them since several weeks now? However, Adele knew she had to star
NARRATIVEThe next day was a busy one for the employees of DeLa's Fashion House as they prepared to move the goods to the various locations they were needed.Adele had just got off phone with several of her clients and they were greatly pleased when they found out she'll be delivering the goods to them today. They sincerely commended her for a job well done_as they were amazed she could deliver within such a short time.Well, after the hired hands were done with their own part of the work, Adele had sent them away after paying them handsomely of course. She wasn't going to let outsiders see how her company finalizes the branding logo of the company's name in case of counterfeit issues. "Ms. Rivera," Adele turned her attention from her phone to her client who was checking out some of her designs in the shopping section of the company."Yes, Madame Georgina. Is there any to your liking in that section?" She walked up to the middle aged affluent lady. "Oh yes," the woman said enthusias
NARRATIVE In a black van speeding down the highway towards Washington DC, two young men_Claire Rock's subordinates, were singing loudly and vibing along to the pop music blasting from the van speakers totally oblivious of the black sedan car tailing them. Not long afterwards, they arrived at a checkpoint and on looking out the window, one of them sighted the police and almost panicked but his partner was quick to give him a warning glare. "Be cool! Remember what the boss had said. If we are found out, we'll be the ones going down not her. Do you understand?!" The second guy swallowed and hurriedly nodded, pushing his uneasiness aside and keeping a straight face. The car behind belonged to none other than Carlo's subordinates. They've been instructed to make sure things fall accordingly as they'd planned. Some minutes later, it was their turn to get inspected. The first guy lowered the glass of the Van's door. "Good day, officer." They greeted the policeman at the side of the
NARRATIVE~Few minutes earlier~Carlo was having a leisure afternoon swim in his swimming pool when a subordinate walked up to him."Boss, Claire Rock's subordinates aren't willing to comply with the authorities and confess who they work for." The young guard, dressed in the usual bodyguard outfit said with a slight bow.Carlo swam back to the edge of the pool and climbed out, his black hair sticking to his scalp as the liquid trickle down his face and drool-worthy body. He was shirtless and his well defined muscles and abs wasn't something the maids around could get their eyes off. Heck! Their boss was freaking hot!Even as one of them hurriedly gave him a towel to dry his body, she couldn't help but blush."Tell Alvin to get on with it." He smirked._____Alvin was in his computer lab_in a private section of his room even his sister didn't dare to enter. He just received the young CEO's order and was gleefully doing his part. He stared at the couple of videos and photos in his comp
ADELE'S POV "Seriously it was never my intention to do that. I'd never do something like that to you. It was a situation beyond my control. Please just hear me out Delly." He was on his knees, tears rolling down his cheeks as he begged me to forgive him, to give him another chance. I wipe the tears off my eyes as I stared at him, my heart clenching tightly against my chest.~~~~ "Yes, I do. I'll love and honor, cherish and support, care for and protect you with my all, only till forever. Until..." "Till death do us path," He smiled. His smile so bright, so peaceful and yet so breath taking. I couldn't take my eyes off him_finally, he's mine." A tear slid down my cheek the moment we ended the vows and were joined in Holy Matrimony.______ I sat up the bed instantly, my eyes so wide open I feared they'll fall out. My hands desperately searching the sheets for my ringing phone.What was that just now? What sort of crazy dream was that? Did he already succeeded in messing wi
ARSENIO'S POV I was driving along Adele's neighborhood on my way to her place. My plan was a perfect, weekend surprise visit. However, my joy was short lived the moment I looked out the window. My face turned sour immediately. She was standing and talking with an unfamiliar man along the pedestrian. On looking closer, I found it's none other than her ex fiance, the CEO of CR's Luxury, Carlo Rodriguez. I don't like this! I hate what I see now and I'm not going to sit back and do nothing while he crawls back into her heart. He disrespected, humiliated and broke her six years ago. He has no right over her again! I'll make sure of it. Pulling up at the side of the road, I hurriedly stepped out of my car and hastily but determinedly walked towards them just in time to hear her say; "Let go..." She said, although her voice sounded weak_as though she was considering his request. For her sake and my sake, I had to intervene. "I'm pretty sure the lady said you should let go!"
