She asked the moment she opened the door and saw her grandmother lying on the bed."Adele."

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."

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

CHAPTER NINETY-THREE.Adele barged into their bedroom, fuming in anger and banged the door hard behind her."Adele." Called Jamal, frightened, but she did not answer him. She just stood on her the spot, breathing hard and violently threading her hands through her hair as hot tears spilled down her cheeks.She was angry. She was furious and she was hurt by all the things Shannelle had said to her."Don't you dare deny it!" Shannelle’s warning echoed in her mind. "What normal woman in her right senses will accept a man who hurt her so much back into her life without an ulterior motive? You're back to get your revenge against him aren't you?" The words sounded in her mind and she began pacing helter-skelter around the bedroom. By that time, Jamal had stepped down from the bed and he was watching her pace around in awe. "I need you to tell me the truth now, why are you back in my brother's life? Are you here to bring him down? Are you here to avenge the child he made you lose? Are you he

It was fun and Adele forgot about her talk with Shannelle.When they returned home, he waited for Adele to fall asleep before going to his bedroom to talk with his very stubborn sister. He let out a heavy sigh once he got to her room door. He couldn't believe he was going to go in there to talk to her. The last time he ever got into Shannelle's bedroom was more than fifteen years ago. He has no business with her room so he never got in there."Go away!" Shannelle replied when he knocked on the door. He took a step closer and leaned towards the door."Shannelle, let me in.""So you can scold me for telling your wife the truth? No way! Just go back to her!""I give you to the count of three to open this door Shannelle, if not you'll regret it. One!" He started the countdown."Jamal I don't want to talk t
