He didn't want to go, but Adele urged him to do so and he had no choice but to agree.They were to meet at one of the private suits he owned in the city. When he got there, he met his father already waiting for him."Good morning father." He greeted as he took a seat on the couch opposite that which his father was occupying."Good morning Jamal, how are you doing?""I'm doing just fine, father." He answered for formality because he knew his father was not the least concerned for him even though he had asked."Good. Your sister told me what happened to her.""Of course she did.""What have you done to the bastard?" Mr. Dominick asked in fury."I've had him locked up. He's going to be in there for a very long time." He explained. Mr. Dominick let out a satisfactory smile before posing another question."What about Danielle? Why haven't you put her b

CHAPTER NINETY-TWO.Jamal walked into his bedroom and found Adele seated on the bed, completely lost in thought. He creased his brows and watched her intensely as he went to meet her. He noticed her eyes didn't blink even for a second. "Adele." He calmly calmly and Adele shook as she turned to look at him."Hmmm." She answered in surprise."Hmmm?" Jamal asked with creased brows, sitting by her side. "Why were you lost in thought?" He asked, concerned and Adele sighed."Well… the thing is, lately, I've been thinking about Shannelle." She told him and he bit his lips."What about her?""I'm… I'm… just like, you know… after what happened, she's obviously no longer friends with Danielle and that was her only friend. She must be feeling sad and lonely right now. I would like to talk to her, try to comfort her, but I know she hates me so much, that's why I don't want to go near her, but… I still feel like I should do something.""Then do it." Jamal urged her."Should I go talk to her?" She

CHAPTER NINETY-THREE.Adele barged into their bedroom, fuming in anger and banged the door hard behind her."Adele." Called Jamal, frightened, but she did not answer him. She just stood on her the spot, breathing hard and violently threading her hands through her hair as hot tears spilled down her cheeks.She was angry. She was furious and she was hurt by all the things Shannelle had said to her."Don't you dare deny it!" Shannelle’s warning echoed in her mind. "What normal woman in her right senses will accept a man who hurt her so much back into her life without an ulterior motive? You're back to get your revenge against him aren't you?" The words sounded in her mind and she began pacing helter-skelter around the bedroom. By that time, Jamal had stepped down from the bed and he was watching her pace around in awe. "I need you to tell me the truth now, why are you back in my brother's life? Are you here to bring him down? Are you here to avenge the child he made you lose? Are you he

CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR.Adele and Jamal returned home quite late from the walk. They enjoyed a great time, eating random roadside foods, and ice cream, and playing roadside games as well. It was fun and Adele forgot about her talk with Shannelle.When they returned home, he waited for Adele to fall asleep before going to his bedroom to talk with his very stubborn sister. He let out a heavy sigh once he got to her room door. He couldn't believe he was going to go in there to talk to her. The last time he ever got into Shannelle's bedroom was more than fifteen years ago. He has no business with her room so he never got in there."Go away!" Shannelle replied when he knocked on the door. He took a step closer and leaned towards the door."Shannelle, let me in.""So you can scold me for telling your wife the truth? No way! Just go back to her!""I give you to the count of three to open this door Shannelle, if not you'll regret it. One!" He started the countdown."Jamal I don't want to talk t

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN.ONE MONTH LATER.“Baby, are you alright?” Jamal asked, concerned when he noticed that Adele was feeling uncomfortable on her seat. They were at Shannelle’s wedding reception. The day had been a very hectic one for both of them as they had to make sure everything was going on smoothly. Adele, who had been Shannelle’s maid of honor, was exhausted and her husband could see it in her eyes.“Yeah, I'm good. Why asked?”“You're really exhausted. The formalities are over, we can go home now.”“No we can’t. Shannelle will feel betrayed.” Adele protested, but Jamal did not listen to her. He quietly rose to his feet and went over to the high table where Shannelle and her husband were seated. He engaged in a short, quiet conversation with them before returning to his seat to meet Adele.“Let's get going.” He instructed as he took her hand. She did not object because she was tired and needed to go home and rest but she did not want to go because she felt that Sha

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN.The morning went smoothly at the office with Adele and her colleagues. Everyone did the work apportioned to them by their supervisor, Grace and by lunch time, they were all exhausted and ready to take a break.Adele sat behind her cubicle, contemplating whether to call Jamal and ask if they could eat lunch together. The man was her husband, but she understood the kind of busy person he was and sometimes, when making requests, she feared that she was being a bother or a distraction to him. After a long moment of contemplating whether to call or not, she finally decided not to. She calmly placed her phone on her table and let out a tired sigh.It was as if she was never going to fully get used to her own husband.“Adele!” Kelly whispered harshly and Adele trembled on her spot as she snapped out of her thoughts.“Whoa, whoa whoa…” Kelly explained when she noticed her reaction. “What’s going on? You’ve been lost in thought for a while now and you shook a g

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN“Cole!” Adele called when she spotted Cole walking into their office at the conglomerate. When Cole heard her call, he instantly halted on his tracks and turned to face her. A few weeks ago, he would have walked over to her and given her a casual hug and even pecked her cheeks, but after finding out that she was the wife of Jamal King Dominick, his boss, he could even dare to get too close to her.“Mrs. King.” He called with a smile and Adele frowned in disappointment as she approached him.“I thought we already had this talk, Cole. Please, don’t address me as Mrs King, it makes me feel very old.” Adele lamented and Cole chuckled, shaking his head.“You don’t get it, do you? If your husband hears me calling you by your first name, he’s going to have me fired. I love my job.”“You honestly think Jamal is that petty, don’t you?” Adele asked with a serious look."I did not hear you just address my big boss by his first name. I swear I did not hear that.”

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN.“Good morning Mr. King.” Christine, Jamal's main secretary, greeted as he approached her table.“Good morning, Christine.” Jamal replied with a smile.“Mr. King, there’s someone waiting for you in your office.” Christine announced and Jamal halted on his tracks and turned to face her with a curious frown on his face.He wasn’t expecting anyone that morning and he knew that if Christine had let whoever it was wait for him in his office, then he or she was an important person.“And, who is that?” He asked.“Your father, Mr, dominick.” She deciphered and Jamal’s heart fell into his abdomen. That was the last name he was expecting to hear. He closed his eyes and silently exhaled and straightened up his tuxedo before going into his office to face his father.He had no idea why the man had come to his office so early in the morning. The last time they met to have a one on one discussion, they had separated on a bad foot so he had no idea how the talk that m

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE.It was dinner time at the mansion and Adele, Jamal and Grandma were having dinner at the dining table. Shannelle was not with them because she was spending the night at her fiancé’s house. Something that did not sit well with Jamal. He had been grumbling about it ever since she told him.“She never listens to me!” He mumbled under his breath as Adele served him some hot sauce.“Who never listens to you?” She asked and took her seat. Jamal looked at her and sighed heavily. He creased his forehead with his fingers and sighed yet again before looking at Adele again who was patiently waiting for him to tell her what she wanted to hear.“I guess I'm never going to stop wanting to protect her.” He lamented.“Who are you talking about?” Asked, Grandma.“Shannelle. I’m talking about Shannelle.” “What about her?” Adele questioned as she took in a scoop of her soup, her eyes not leaving Jamal's worried face.“A few hours ago, she called to inform me that she wou

She was worried.She was extremely worried because she had no idea what to expect. Jamal and his father had always had a very close relationship.

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TEN.Adele went straight home after her visit to the Dominick residence. She still didn't know what to make out of everything Aliya had told her. Yes, she accepted her apology and Aliya even hugged her for the first time in her life, but she was still in shock. All day long, she kept wondering what Shannelle could have possibly told her mother to change her heart as such.The hatred Aliya always showed Adele had made her understand that there was nothing in the world that could make Aliya like and accept her as her daughter-in-law, but she had done just that."Baby." Jamal called when he entered the bedroom. Adele was sitting on one of the sofas in the sitting area, totally lost in in thought but when she heard her name, she snapped out and smiled at her husband who sat by her side."Hey…" she greeted calmly and kissed him. Jamal could tell from her looks that everything was not okay."I was told you left work early today, is everything alright? Do you feel si

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND NINE.Shannelle got a call from her mother in the morning to come meet her immediately and she had no idea what that was about. As the obedient daughter she was, she hastily got herself ready and went over to her parents house to hear what her mother had to tell her."Mum." She called once she got into the living room. The television was on, meaning her mother was somewhere around. "Mum." She called, looking around."Shannelle." Aliya called from the staircase. Shannelle looked up and saw her mother descending that staircase with an eternal frown masked on her face. Shannelle could help but wonder why her mother was so furious early in the morning."Mum, you called. Is everything alright?" She was concerned and her mother scowled at her. She was confused."I heard you hung out with Adele yesterday. She accompanied you to your dress fitting. Is that true?" Her mother asked as she stood before her and that was when it dawned on Shannelle. Her mother had called he
