She was in an elevator with Danielle, heading to the top floor of the building."That's where his penthouse is located." Danielle replied, referring to Henry."He lives in a penthouse?" Shannelle asked surprised and Danielle nodded in agreement. "Does he own it?'"Uh-huh!""Impressive!" She pouted. She knew the guy wasn't prolly half as rich as her elder brother, but from how Danielle had described him, he was well to do and she was comfortable with that fact.When they finally arrived at the top floor, Danielle took her to a door where she rang the bell and stepped back, waiting for it to be opened."I'm friggin' nervous right now." Cried Shannelle and Danielle waved her off."You don't have to be, Henry is a really cool guy. Relax.""If you say so." Shannelle smiled.Soon, the door swung open, revealing a very tall shirtless guy, who smiled down at them."Dani

Her ex-boyfriend tried to rape his sister, he had every right to be furious."Are we allowed to see Henry? I don't know how procedures go in jail, but we're not his relatives nor hisattorney, it must be very hard to get an approval, isn't it?"

In fact they were longpass the duration they were allowed to stay inside thatroom, but no one dared to say a thing.As for Adele, she was just sitting calmly on her chair, thinking about how she should react to what she had just heard.Not only had she found out that her main rival was the brain behind all that charade, but also that her current husband was probably the reason behind her separation from her previous boyfriend.She calmly turned to Jamal who was still standing behind her and she just sighed when she noticed he was already looking at her with a pale face.She immediately decided not to overreact.

All what Jamal just told her a while ago was taking a toll on her and she didn’t know what to think or do.Everything had been planned from the start without her knowledge and her Grandmother whom she trusted very much had been an accomplice."Grandma, is it true?" She asked the moment she opened the door and saw her grandmother lying on the bed."Adele." Grandma Devon called as she quickly stepped down from the bed and walked over to Adele who had now closed the door and was standing at the center of the bedroom. "Why are you in tears, what happened?" Grandma Devon panicked and Adele kept looking at her in awe.She had known everything.From coming back home, to getting a job, the mysterious phone which she had encouraged her to use when she hesitated and then the sudden marriage. Jamal had been the brain behind all of that and she had known, but she decided to hide it from her."Why?" Adele as more

CHAPTER NINETY.“Baby.” Jamal called once he stepped into the bedroom and didn’t find Adele in it. He closed the door behind and walked over to the bathroom to look for her and there she was, trying to run the bath to prolly take her bath.“Baby.” He called again and she turned to look at him. The stern look she had in her eyes a while ago was gone and all he saw was her beautiful ocean blue eyes that were sparkling. “Hmmm” she answered and Jamal walked over to where she was standing.“I didn’t do all those things for myself. I did it for you and I and even though things turned out to be pretty rough, all I wanted was the best for you, for us. Because I was in love with you. I still am.”“You always get everything you want, don’t you?” She asked with a blank look.“I always want very few things, Adele, that’s why I do all I can to get them. I’m sorry.”“It’s okay.”Her response shocked him.“Really?” He asked in surprise and she nodded with a smile.“I mean, it has happened and you w

When he got there, he met his father already waiting for him."Good morning father." He greeted as he took a seat on the couch opposite that which his father was occupying."Good morning Jamal, how are you doing?""I'm doing just fine, father." He answered for formality because he knew his father was not the least concerned for him even though he had asked."Good. Your sister told me what happened to her.""Of course she did.""What have you done to the bastard?" Mr. Dominick asked in fury."I've had him locked up. He's going to be in there for a very long time." He explained. Mr. Dominick let out a satisfactory smile before posing another question."What about Danielle? Why haven't you put her b

CHAPTER NINETY-TWO.Jamal walked into his bedroom and found Adele seated on the bed, completely lost in thought. He creased his brows and watched her intensely as he went to meet her. He noticed her eyes didn't blink even for a second. "Adele." He calmly calmly and Adele shook as she turned to look at him."Hmmm." She answered in surprise."Hmmm?" Jamal asked with creased brows, sitting by her side. "Why were you lost in thought?" He asked, concerned and Adele sighed."Well… the thing is, lately, I've been thinking about Shannelle." She told him and he bit his lips."What about her?""I'm… I'm… just like, you know… after what happened, she's obviously no longer friends with Danielle and that was her only friend. She must be feeling sad and lonely right now. I would like to talk to her, try to comfort her, but I know she hates me so much, that's why I don't want to go near her, but… I still feel like I should do something.""Then do it." Jamal urged her."Should I go talk to her?" She
