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

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 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 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 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 Adele heaved out a heavy sigh as she stepped out of her black Audi and gazed up at the villa standing tall before her. That was the residence of the Dominicks, who happened to be the wealthiest family in the nation. They owned the largest business conglomerate in the country named Dominick Co. Adele had been adopted by the mother of the man, Mr. Michael Dominick, who owned this company when she was five years old and she was raised by that woman even though in a different country.
