THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX.
CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX.Jamal drove straight home from Adele's apartment. He was still greatly shaken by the divorce papers she had sent to him. His heart was still palpating hard in his chest.He had known she would think of filing for a divorce, but he didn't know it would be so soon. The fact that Adele was so mad at him to the extent that she wanted to divorce him left him completely devastated.He loved Adele and he wanted to be with her. He knew he had made a lot of fatal errors, but he was ready to change his ways and do all he could to amend things between them. All he needed from Adele was a second chance and he was going to make sure she did not regret it.When he stepped out of his car, he handed over his keys to the parking caker and walked into the house. He was exhausted after that very intense argument with Adele. That was the second time they were raising their voices at each other and he didn't like it, but he couldn't help it."Jamal!" He heard his mother call the moment

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN.Adele had her last hospital appointment at the hospital that morning. The doctor told her she was totally healed and could go on with her physical activities. She was very happy to get the news. She was already sick and tired of coming to that hospital especially as Jamal was the one responsible for paying her medical bills. After her check up sessions, they never asked her for any money, the total bills were always forwarded to Jamal who would pay without any hesitation.As she exited the hospital lobby, her cell phone rang in her bag and she quickly fished it out to see who it was. A smile flashed on her face when she saw Linda's name on the caller ID and she instantly answered the call."Hello girl." She greeted as age pressed the phone over her ear."Adele, hello, hope you are doing alright." Linda's joyous voice sounded over the phone, making her smile even more."I'm doing just fine and you?""I'm alright. I just called to inform you that Wendy and I will b

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT.After a long day of attending meetings, signing documents and making sure everything in the conglomerate was going on well, it was finally closing time and Jamal couldn't wait to get out of his office. He was feeling tired, so he didn't drive himself. He let his driver and a guard take him home.As they hit the road, he thought of going to see Adele, but on a second thought, he decided to dismiss the idea. They had separated that morning on a very bad foot and he didn't want to get her anymore upset that day. When she told him she was going to spend time with friends, he was happy. He had no idea she had any friends. But he was also worried that she would let the issue of their marriage slip and that would cause a lot of damage.Nevertheless, he trusted Adele. He knew she was never going to do anything that would implicate him, no matter how much she was mad at him. That was how kind she was.When the driver parked in the driveway of the mansion, one of the guards

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE.Adele's work at the publishing agency was no different from what she used to do back at her first job site. She had her office and was in charge of editing and reviewing articles before they were published to the media.She loved her job and her new colleagues. They warmly welcomed her and most of them fell in love with her rich British accent. Sometimes, they asked her questions just so she could talk to them so they could hear her beautiful accent.She loved everything about the workplace and looked forward to helping them grow. Even her pay and benefits that came along with it were good.In less than no time, she was going to be able to get herself a car. Jamal once sent a car over for her, but she sent the driver back with the car, saying she didn't need anything from him and she was serious. She had no plans of ever receiving anything from him!That evening, she was frying pancakes to have for dinner when her doorbell rang. She quickly turned off the fire ben

CHAPTER FORTY.Jamal was in his study that evening, signing a few documents when he heard a knock on his office door. He wasn't in the mood to talk to or see anyone and so wanted to ignore, but the thought of that being his grandmother who had come with good news crossed his mind and he decided against his decision."Come in." He said out loud and immediately, the door creaked open. He looked up, expecting to see his grandmother, but a wave of disappointment washed through him when he saw his sister, Shannelle, walk into the office with a smile plastered on her face."Hello." She greeted calmly as she closed the door behind her and stood it.She could not remember the last time she was in that office. That was about five years ago."What do you want, Shannelle?" Jamal asked in disappointment as he returned to what he was doing."I… I just want us to talk." "I'm busy right now, I can't talk to you. Leave!" He ordered, but Shannel did not obey. Instead, she walked over to his office tab

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE."Interesting." Adele murmured to herself as she stepped out of the elevator with her eyes focused on her watch. The time read eight pm and she was just returning from work.There was so much work at the office and they all had to work overtime. The good thing was that the next day was Saturday, weekend and she did not have to go to work. All she wanted to do at that moment was go into her apartment and sleep from that time till the next morning because she was very exhausted.As she approached her door, she took out her key from her bag and swiped it on the lock for the door to open up. She stepped into the house and the first thing she did was take off her shoes and put on the fluffy slippers she always put in her little corridor before heading to the living room.When she stepped in, she froze on her tracks when she saw Jamal comfortably seated on one of her sofas in the living room. His tux jacket was resting on another sofa and he was watching a football match

CHAPTER FORTY TWO.ONE YEAR LATER."Adele!" A voice called from behind as Adele was heading towards the elevator. She immediately stopped on her tracks and turned around to see who it was. A wide smile spread on her face when she saw her colleague, Chase, walking towards her, smiling as well. Chase was a senior editor at the publishing firm himself and he was employed one month after she had been employed.Since they worked together on many projects, they had gotten quite close and many people in the firm thought they were having an affair.Chase himself had been making advances towards her, but she had done her best to keep her distance as she wanted nothing to do with him."Hey, Chase. What's good?""Everything, I guess." He replied, shrugging his shoulders as he came to a halt before her. Chase was a very cute guy, the kind of guy who was almost as beautiful as a girl and most girls in the firm threw themselves at him, but he didn't like it.He was always very neat and his outfit w

CHAPTER FORTY-THREE."Adele." The voice came through again after several minutes of silence. Adele, who was exhausted at that time, found a nearby seat and slumped on it. From the very overwhelming conversation with the doctor and now a call from Jamal. The men were definitely bent on making her lose her sanity that afternoon."Jamal." She finally whispered. "Why are you calling me?" Her voice was shaky. It had been one year since she heard from him, but he had suddenly shown up again and she had no idea what he wanted."It's been one year since we last saw or spoke to each other, Adele… don't you miss me?" His voice was calm and if Adele didn't know the man who was taking over the phone all too well, she would say his words were genuine, but knowing Jamal to be a beast who had no interest in her, she knew he was lying, she just didn't know why he was lying to her."I don't." She simply replied."I highly doubt that.""That's your problem, not mine. What do you want, Jamal?" She aske

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
