CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED.Eating with Grandma while experiencing an emotional post traumatic condition was the worst decision Adele made. Not for a single moment did Grandma spare her poor nerves and ears from hearing how the hit on Shannelle’s forehead could have been much more dangerous if it landed on her nose, her eyes, her mouth or her temporal bone.When Adele logically asked her what the hell was thistemporal bone, Grandma was more than eager to reply."The doctor said it's the part of the skull around the ear area. It is very fragile, she could have had a concussion!"Adele bet the doctor was so idle that he explained the whole freaking human head anatomy for them. It is either that or that the poor man was actually forced to explain the human anatomy because Grandma and her mother in-law fought at the hospital and got him involved and stuck between them.She spoke for a very long time and although Adele was initially hungry, she became full without eating much just hearing her

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ONEAdele was seated in her cubicle in the joined office, completely lost in thought. She was thinking about a lot of things, especially about the fact that Shannelle couldn't just be nice to her even for a single second. The previous night, she(Shannelle) had provoked her and only Jamal's intervention made her not burst into tears.Everyday of her life, she wondered what it was about her that caused her mother and sister-in-law to hate her so much. She wondered what she had done to make them despise her so much. No matter how much her husband loved and cared for her, no matter how much she tried to convince herself that his love and acceptance was enough for her, she knew deep down in her heart that she needed both Shannelle and Aliya's love before she'd ever feel welcomed into that family as a daughter-in-law."Tsss…" She sighed for the millionth time that morning with her eyes squeezed shut and her nostrils breathing out hot air.She was tired and wished eve

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWO."Jamal, don't you think you should come take this call already? It might be important." Said Adele from the bedroom as she looked at the ringing phone on the bed."Can you please read out the name on the caller ID?" Jamal asked from the closet. He was dressing up for work."It says Reid."Reid!The moment the name registered in Jamal's mind, he bolted out the closet and flew over to the bed to pick up the call. Adele was shocked."Reid!" He called the moment he swiped the green icon and pressed the phone against his ear."Jamal." The person on the other end of the phone called and Jamal smiled. "Do I still have a betrothed?" He asked calmly and Jamal chuckled lightly and looked up at the ceiling.He smiled hard and heaved out a heavy sigh. Confused, Adele could only stare and wonder what was going on."Yes, you do." Jamal finally replied to the person. "When are you coming?""I'll arrive on Sunday." The Reid guy replied and Jamal smiled even wider."I'm get

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THREE.Adele couldn't help but think all day about the arranged marriage between Shannelle and Jamal's friend. Thinking about it brought her back to how she felt when her marriage to Adele was announced by their grandma that fateful night, two years ago.She had been shocked to the point where she choked on her own saliva.

He knew Grandma Devon was very Dear to Adele and she (Adele) would never say no to her, that's why he decided to use Grandma Devon to request for an arranged marriage with the woman he loved.That was the same thing they were doing to Shannelle. Reid Bradfords was in love with Shannelle, h

Before leaving the mansion that morning, she had spoken about it with Jamal and he had instructed her not to tell their parents the name of the man or disclose any information about him.He said so because he knew his parents would get furious and come to confront him. He wanted to tell them himself."Shannelle, I am very disappointed in you for deciding to live with your brother. You are supposed to be living here with your father and I!" Aliya scolded and Shan

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE."Christine, please report to my office." Jamal instructed over the fixed phone and placed it down. A few moments later, his office door opened up and the secretary walked in."Mr. King, you called.""Here, take this." He said stretching out a brown envelope towards her which she immediately took and waited for the instructions that would follow. "I want that published on all social media platforms by tonight. It should be on the evening news as well and in the newspapers by tomorrow morning. Christine, I was exactly what was in that envelope published. No more, no less. I repeat, no more, no less. Is that understood?" He asked carefully."Yes, Mr. King." "You can get to work now." "Thank you Sir." She exited the office.Jamal, once alone, stretched his arms in the air and yawned tiredly.In about two hours, the entire country would be completely shaken by what would be published. The thought of that made him smile.**************************************

Except Adele, no one else knew that he had gathered them all to introduce them to Reid Bradfords, Shannelle's betrothed.Aliya was getting impatient and the fact that she was sitting in the same bedroom with Adele made her stomach churn. She hated the girl and hated being anywhere around her."Jamal, we have been sitting here for over thirty minutes! What is…""Ten minutes mother, ten minutes." Jamal rudely cut her off with a correction. "And by the way, he is here." Said Jamal as he averted his gaze from his wrist watch to the door."Who is h…""Oh my God!" Shannelle screamed in excitement when she followed her brother's gaze to the door and saw Reid standing by it. She quickly rose to her feet and looked from her brother to Reid in excitement.She was confused about what to do. Reid opened his arms for he

TOGETHER.They were accompanied by a convoy and when they arrived at the building, guards dressed in black suits and sunglasses surrounded their car while some stood on a line at the entrance into the building. Everyone around was alerted and we're ready to greet the CEO and his wife.Jamal had told Adele about that protocol before they left the house and had promised her it was only for that day because she looked very terrified."Baby." Jamal called calmly as he placed his hand on hers. "Are you sure you don't want to go back home and think about this? Are you sure you are ready to deal with all the attention?" He asked, concerned. They were both seated in the back seat of the car. Adele stared blankly into space for a while before turning to look at him with a reassuring smile on her face.She understood what he was tal

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

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN.Aliya’s mind was in turmoil the entire day. When she had asked her son why he was not on good terms with his father, he had only smiled and asked her husband so he could tell her all what he did to her. 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. He was always closer to his father than he was close to her and that sometimes made her jealous, but a few years ago, she discovered that the bond between father and son had been broken. When Jamal just started working at the conglomerate, he adored his father and he did everything his father had asked him to do, but a few years later, everything fell apart. Jamal lost all respect for his father and had even kicked his father out of the company.At first, she had thought Adele was the cause of all what happened, but after realising herself, she knew there was something bigger and she needed to find out.

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
