THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE."Adele." Jamal called as he gave a gentle tap on Adele's arm. One of the chefs just called to inform him that dinner was ready and he wanted Adele to go down with him since they had both had nothing to eat yet.Adele, who heard the call and felt the tap, opened her eyes and her mood immediately turned sour when she saw Jamal standing before her. She quickly turned her face to the other side of the bed in an attempt to ignore him."Dinner is ready, let's go downstairs and join the others." Jamal announced and at the mention of the word dinner, Adele's intestines grumbled. She was extremely mad at Jamal and did not want to talk to or look at his face, but the idea of going down for dinner very much pleased her. She was famished and needed to eat something, especially in her condition."Adele." Jamal called yet again and this time around, Adele sat up from the bed and stepped down, not even sparing Jamal a single glance. She was about to walk away from his presence

CHAPTER TWENTY~FOURDays passed and Adele still did not tell Jamal about her pregnancy and she was getting worried. Her fevers were getting more frequent and morning sickness was taking a toll on her. She needed to find a way to tell him because he needed to know. All the times she had made up her mind to tell him, a fight had broken out between them which led to her not saying anything in the end.Her mother and sister-in-law kept taunting her whenever they got the opportunity and Danielle made sure to come home everyday looking for Jamal.She was tired, but there was nothing she could do.That afternoon, she was seated in her office, lost in thought when her supervisor walked in with a worried look. She heaved out a heavy sigh because he knew he was there to ask her to do something which was not her job. That was the face he kept every time he wanted her to do something out of her scope.“Adele.” Mr. Frank called and Adele looked up at him with tiredness written all over her face. S

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE.As Adele made her way to the road, she sent a quick test to her supervisor, telling him she was on her way back home because she wasn’t feeling too well. She knew he was going to try to make her stay, but she wasn’t going to do that. She needed to get away from Jamal and Danielle.She was about to call a cab, a Rolls Royce stopped before her and when the door opened, she rolled her eyes hard when she saw Jamal step out of the car to stand before her.“What do you want, Jamal?” “To take you home.”“You don’t have to worry about me, I’m about to call an Uber. Just go in there and have a great time with your darling Danielle.” She spoke almost in a whisper, but Jamal could feel the bitterness in her voice. He couldn’t help but stare at her stomach.Ever since he heard that Adele was pregnant, his mind had been in total chaos. He was excited and scared at the same time. Having a child had never crossed his mind before, but now that it was about to happen , he was hap

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX.“I have an important meeting to attend at the office, I can’t go with you to the hospital for your check up. Let me know what the doctor says.” Jamal’s words rang in Adele’s mind as she sat in the doctor’s office. The previous night, they had been cool. They took a warm bath together, ate dinner together and Jamal cuddled her in his arms all night. He seemed very happy about the fact that she was pregnant. She had thought that was the beginning of him fixing things like he had promised, but that didn’t seem to be the case. He had quickly dismissed her request to have him accompany her to the hospital that morning.He only knew that she was pregnant, but he had no idea that she had a difficult pregnancy and stood the risk of having a miscarriage if anything should happen to her. She wanted him to hear that part of the story from the doctor, but it seemed she was finally the one to tell him.After the check up, she left the doctor’s office. On her way out of the hos

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN.SIX MONTHS LATER.Things did not get better between Adele and Jamal even after all the promises Jamal had made to her. He still kept late nights, travelled for business trips that lasted weeks and above all, he still kept meeting with Danielle very often. At that point in time, the entire country was buzzing with rumours about the fact that Danielle and Jamal were dating.Adele was devastated, but Jamal didn’t care. He had made her quit her job and all she did was stay at home and do nothing. He never accompanied her for hospital appointments, she attended all her check ups alone and Jamal hardly had the time to listen to updates about her pregnancy.Grandma who had returned home and witnessed all that was going on, tried talking to Jamal to no avail. His mind was made up.Meanwhile, Aliya and Shannelle were beyond grateful at that moment. Aliya made sure to fuel the rumour about Danielle and Jamal’s affair and it satisfied her that Adele was heartbroken, despite

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT.The moment Jamal and his driver arrived at the hospital, almost every hospital staff came to attend to him. Adele was immediately taken into the emergency ward while he walked helter-shelter around the corridor, tears flowing down his eyes like a waterfall.His hands and t-shirt were completely stained with blood, but that was the least of his problems at that moment. Adele was in a critical condition. Both her life and that of their baby’s was in grave danger.He tried to recall what could have made her fall and then it finally occurred to him what had made her fall. The time he seized his hand from her hold and pushed her away to get out of the room. That’s when she fell to the ground but he didn’t realize because he walked out of the bedroom and closed the door behind him, not even sparing her a glance.“Oh my God!” Jamal cried as he slumped to the floor, his heart almost ripping his chest with its powerful beats. The guards standing around were confused, but

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE.Ever since Jamal heard the news of Adele's miscarriage, he has not been able to stop tears from flowing down his cheeks. He had gone into the toilet several times to bawl out his eyes. He had been in the hospital all night, but he had not set his eyes on Adele because he was scared of how she was going to react when she set her eyes on him. He was the reason why she had lost their child and he knew she must hate him very much, coupled with the fact that he had not been the most caring husband for the past months.Guilt.Regret.Pity.Angst and many other negative emotions were all mixed in his heart and he didn't even know how to feel.He hated his father for putting him in a mess which had to make him work like a slave and not look after his pregnant wife.He hated Danielle for having the solution to his problem, but refused to give him because of her selfish love for him.And above all, he hated himself for not being able to protect his home."His cell phone ran

CHAPTER THIRTY.The rest of the week went by with Adele not seeing Jamal like she had requested. She stayed in the hospital to be monitored, while Jamal continued with his work. He only came to see her when she was fast asleep so she wouldn't see him and get upset. One day, when he had gone to see her, the doctor called into his office and told him about Adele's situation. He had said that Adele had injured her uterus as a result of the miscarriage and it was almost impossible for her to conceive again. When Jamal got home that night, he didn't sleep. He kept thinking about Adele and how much she would hate him even more when she heard the news herself.He felt guilty for the things he had done to her and he wanted to take responsibility by making things right between them, but he knew Adele also needed time to heal from what she was going through, so he was going to give her time.He told his parents and sister about the miscarriage. His father expressed his sympathy and even visi

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. She un

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

He was no longer at his father's mercy, his wife had forgiven him for maltreating her and losing their child and now the world knew who she was, his younger sister was about to get married to one of the most eligible in the country. His business was booming, everything was fine. There were two more things he had to settle, the first was Danielle's issue and the second would be discussed later.After making Owen Co go bankrupt, Jamal had no idea what Danielle had been up to, but he was sure that she was going through a tough time.He knew no matter what, he owed Danielle because she was the one who brought him to the light about his father's plans and stole the documents that could implicate him. For that one reason, Jamal had forgiven her for trying to get his sister raped and he had made up his mind to bring her back to her feet.Danielle, who had received a call from a private number came out of her
