THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE.
CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE.Adele bit her lips hard as she let his words sink in her brain. He was striking every nerve in her body and getting her extremely enraged with every word he said. The only thing she could feel for him at the time was hatred. She hated the fact that he had come back to her life, she hated the fact that he had the power and connections to do whatever he wanted at any time, she hated him for ruining her life.She loathed him with every fibre in her body and if she were to set eyes on him at that moment, she would give him two solid snacks on both his left and right cheeks, then maybe her anger would subside after that. "You are nothing but a sick bastard.""I am just an unfortunate man who married a very beautiful woman. A woman who looks pleasant in the eyes of every man. The most desired woman in the world. I have to protect her at all costs, otherwise hungry lions will devour her for me before I even realise it.""The only hungry lion devouring me right now is yo

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX.It took a while for Adele to calm down and stop herself from crying. Jamal was ruining her entire life for her and she hated it. He was making it impossible for her to do anything in life without him getting involved. First, she lost her unborn child, then later she found out that her chances of ever conceiving again were very slim and now Jamal had made sure she was fired from her work place. He had also made sure no publishing firm in the country was ever going to hire her again.He was like an evil shadow lurking in the corners, following her everywhere she went.An evil shadow that brought her nothing but bad luck."Damn!" She screamed in agony as she hit the steering wheel countless times, shaking her head, caring less about the fact that her hair was turning into a hot mess.She was angry and frustrated at the same time.The same man she had been avoiding for the past year was back in her life to torment her and there was sadly nothing she could do about it.

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN.Adele arrived at the conglomerate at exactly eight am. The moment she got out of the car, the valet showed up and she gave her car keys to him. She looked up at the mighty skyscraper standing before her and she didn't know whether to frown or smile. Jamal was definitely doing well for himself, but he was ruining her life in every possible way.She stepped into the lobby and was awed by how quiet and organized the place was. There were men dressed in black at every corner of the lobby. They were surely security personnels. She thanked her stars for having dressed properly that morning. Everyone looked glamorous and elegant. "Adele Mackenzie." She heard a female voice call her name and she immediately froze on her tracks and looked around, totally confused. Her heart was racing in her chest. "Behind you." The voice signaled. Adele turned around and her gaze fell on a well dressed woman, probably in her early forties who was staring at her with a blank expression.

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT.Three men and three women, including Grace, were standing before Adele with their heads bowed down. The others had no idea why they had been summoned, but Grace knew and she was trembling on her spot.Adele stood far beside the window while Jamal walked to the center of the office to meet them. "Grace, what was the instruction I gave yesterday concerning Miss. Mackenzie?" Jamal asked calmly but firmly and Grace raised her head up to look at him with the most sorrowful look in her eyes.At that moment, she wished she could rewind time and treat Adele properly. She was at the brink of losing her job just because she was jealous of Adele.She had no idea who Adele was but the moment she laid eyes on her, she felt Jealous of her and had sworn to give her a hard time and now that was going to cost her her job."You said to collect her CV and introduce her to the other colleagues." She replied with a tiny voice."And did you do that?" Jamal asked, looking at her intens

CHAPTER FORTY-NINE.Adele couldn't understand Jamal's sudden change in behaviour towards her. Ever since they lost their child, he had been treating her like she meant the world to him. Like she was the only person who mattered to him and that freaked her out a great deal.She had already made peace with the fact that he did not love or care about her and now that he was acting so differently, it scared her because she did not know what to think or how to handle the situation.The damage had been done and she wanted nothing to do with him, but he seemed to not be d'accord with that fact.The entire day went by with her laying at home. She slept for the better part of the day and by nightfall, she decided to watch a movie before going to pick out the outfit she was going to wear to work the next day.Now that she had seen that everyone at the company dressed elegantly, she was going to her best to dress well so that blending in will not be difficult. Her first experience was not a good

CHAPTER FIFTY.The next day at the conglomerate, Adele was welcomed by Grace yet again and this time around, the look on her face was even more deadly, but Adele couldn't care less. As long as she did not disrespect or humiliate her, they were going to be at peace with each other.Grace led her to the same tenth floor where her office was located, but this time around, they did not go into her office. She was taken to an office space which had over ten cubicles in it."This is where you will be working." Said Grace as they entered the office. Everyone else in the office rose to their feet on seeing her walk in and greeted her almost in unison."Good morning everyone." She responded to their greetings, still not smiling and Adele wondered if the woman ever smiled in her life.From the way everyone had stood up when she walked in and how composed they looked, Adele confirmed that she was doing a great job terrorizing the people below her and for that, she disliked the woman."This is Mi

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 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
