THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE 101
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

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. What terrified her the most was the fact that Jamal agreed to the marriage. By then, she had no idea it had all been his plan from the very beginning.He was in love with her. He wanted to be with her, but they were strangers to each other so the only means he could use was his grandmother because he knew his grandmother had a lot of influence over Adele. 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.

She was elated and her reconciliation with Adele made her feel like a heavy weight had been lifted off of her shoulders.She went over to her parents house to announce the news of her marriage but when she got there, her father wasn't at home, so she had to tell just her mother. 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.

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
