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!"

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

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?"

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.
