THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE 105
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. The thought of that made him smile.**************************************

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIX.All members of the Dominick family were seated in the grand living room at the mansion, waiting for the big announcement that had to be made by Jamal. 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

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN.For the first time, Adele and Jamal drove to work in the same car and they planned to use the main entrance to get into the building. 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

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT.Jamal had dealt with the major issues he had in life. 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

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

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 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 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
