This actually evolved in the Montefalco counsins' cool relationship. They would go out of town and explore the adventures that only those who can afford can experience. They were the most awesome cousins I've ever read in wattpad. I mean, the way they treat each other was something that is seldom found in the what relationships we nowadays have.
I will enumerate them all, just so I won't forget:
MONTEFALCOs
JUSTIN - YASMIN - ELIJAH
RAFAEL - DAMON (EBA)
KNOXX - AZRAEL - CLAUDETTE
ERIN - CHANEL - JOSIAH
KLARE - CHARLES
TYs
HENDRIX - PIERRE - KLARE
Also, I was actually expecting that this was a love story of Klare and Eion. But as I read on, I found out that it was about forbidden love at its most cruel state. It's Klare and Elijah's story. They were cousins, originally, because they were raised as such. They tried to divert their attentions to other distractions when they noticed that they were feeling something different for each other.
They tried their best not to fall. Because firstly, it's a taboo. I mean, who would fall in love with one's cousin, right? It was incest. And discomforting. However, I continued reading and witnessed all the suppression and complications and I could say their love for each other was strong.
The problem however arose when their families found out about their relationship. Klare chose to let Elijah go for their family. So Elijah went to New York to forget about Klare. But like in so many love stories, the love never dies regardless of distance.
UNTIL HE RETURNED
From the title itself, you can deduce that it's about Elijah's return to the Philippines after discovering that Klare wasn't a Montefalco afterall, instead a Ty. Elijah needed to bring with him a girlfriend so he used one girl to make it look like he has already moved on. He wasn't permitted to return in the Philippines unless he found a girlfriend, until he has completely forgotten about Klare.
Klare changed her surname to Ty and had become close to her hot brothers: Hendrix and Pierre. I honesly thought what they already have in life was okay. Elijah has moved on. Klare has recovered and was on the process of letting go. But hearts could be so stubborn at times. Despite all their efforts to conceal what they felt for each other, it is still impossible. It's like what their love just grew and grew until it couldn't be contained anymore - until they exploded.
The second book contains lots and lots of jealousy moments. And it was really funny and amusing at the same time. Their relationship was not accepted - even by their cousins. As I have already emphasized, this is a story about FORBIDDEN LOVE AT ITS MOST CRUEL STATE.
It ended when Klare ran away and went to Davao to ask her biological father to help them figure out what they should do. It was after Elijah left home to make a point - that he was willing to surrender anything, everything, everyone just to fight for Klare. Their cousins went to Davao too to show their support. Elijah's departure woke them up.
What more could I say? The rational part of me may still consider what they have incest. But witnessing how they tried to stop it and failed, how they never wavered when they were given the second chance, how they trusted each other, how their love endured all that has tried to destroy what they have, made me realize that they deserve each other. All the other doubts were just disregarded.
I admire both of them. AND I LOVE ELIJAH RILEY FREAKING MONTEFALCO!!! And all the other Montefalcos and Tys really. LOL
UNTIL FOREVER
The last book started with Elijah's flashback.
Still, it was about forbidden love. Klare's family, except his stepmom, father and brothers, couldn't accept her. The Montefalcos still aren't totally up to it - but their love for both Klare and Elijah made them accept it afterwards.
The problem of the third book was about a video and a picture posted on facebook, displaying the intimacy of Elijah and his ex-girlfriend from US, Selena, who happened to be Klare's second-degree cousin. Klare thought it was recent, so she was hurt and all that. Elijah was also angry because Klare didn't mention about her fixed marriage (supposed-to-be) with some Chinese guy. Yet another misunderstanding, that could be fatal to relationships. Regardless, they figured out the truth afterwards, explained themselves, and reconciled.
The Tys still couldn't accept Klare. The Montefalcos are cool with them. The story ended with Elijah proposing to Klare in the most unexpected circumstance (Klare's biological grandmother's birthday). There was still this uncertainty at the end of the story, whether or not the people of the society and all the others will accept their relationship.
What this series taught me is that, you could fall for the most unexpected person in the most unexpected time. It's gonna be tough to fight for that forbidden love - but rest assured that it's gonna be worth it.
Read it and be mesmerized by the Montefalcos and they fought for their family and for love.
