CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE."What the hell!" Cole exclaimed in shock as he eyed Adele from head to toe before his gaze settled on her ring finger. He got even more confused when he didn't see any ring on it."But…but…" he stammered as he looked from her face to the ring finger and back to her face. "But there's no ring on your finger." He pointed out."Ah… that…" Adele chuckled. "There is an explanation for that and no I cannot give you that explanation. It's complicated." She blabbered and the guy just shrugged his shoulders."Well, I… I still don't believe the fact that you are married, but… if you say you are then fine, even though I see no reason for your husband to be mad that you have a coworker's number.""Male coworker." Adele emphasised and the guy nodded."Right!""Like I said, he is nonsensically possessive and I don't want to get into trouble." She said smiling and the guy lifted both hands up as a sign of him surrendering."Fine. No number then.""Thank you for understanding. I ha

CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO.The time on Adele's wrist watch read five pm, which was her closing time and she couldn't be any happier. Her first day of work had been a very hectic one. Her office colleagues had been nothing but nice and understanding towards her the entire time, but Grace did not fail to show her disdain for her everytime they had an encounter, but Adele cared less. All she wanted to do was do her work and leave the office when her time was due."Alright Adele, see you tomorrow." Said Kelly as she waved and exited the office. Adele just smiled and rode on with packing her stuff.When she was done, she stepped out of the office to the hallway and her cell phone chimed in her bag. She took it out to check who had texted and her heart began racing when she saw that the text was from Jamal. She quickly unlocked the phone and went on to read the message."Follow the guy dressed in a black suit at the far end of the hallway you are currently standing in. He's going to lead you to my

CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE.Adele and Jamal fought almost all day, but still stayed together in that same ward. The nurses and doctors checked on Adele from time to time as per Jamal’s instructions and it was finally evening."Doctor, are you sure she is strong enough to go home? Don't you think she should stay the night so she can be monitored?" Asked Jamal as the doctor took out the cannula from Adele's hand. Her drip was finished and the other nurses had already helped her put on her own clothes"What?" She asked aghast, giving Jamal a fierce gaze. "What did you just say?""I was talking to the doctor, not you, Adele.""But you were most definitely talking about me and that's a cause for concern!" She scolded and the doctor looked at her in awe. He was petrified at the fact that she was raising her voice at Jamal.He was her boss!"Doctor, I asked you a question." Jamal turned back to the doctor who swallowed hard before looking at him."Miss Mackenzie is still stable and like we said, she

Grace had asked her to report to work the next day unfailingly and she had accepted.When she parked her car in the driveway, she checked her purse to make sure that her credit card and shopping list was intact. She wanted to shop for groceries so that the next time Jamal came to her house, she would be the one to cook for him."Cook for him?" She voiced out her thoughts and scoffed! "I am not supposed to be anticipating something like that! Why am I even welcoming the thought of bringing him to my house again?" She asked furiously. "He hurt me, I hate him and we are never going to be together again. Period!" She said to herself as she opened the car door and stepped out of it. She then closed it and swung her hand bag on her left arm and walked into the grocery store.She went straight to the chicken section and began looking

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.

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.

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
