CHAPTER NINETY-NINE.When Adele went inside Grandma Devon’s bedroom holding the important papers in her hand, she sat on the ground and tried to take control over her fear without seeking anyone's help.The best way she thought was to not think about it at all by trying to focus on other happenings around her, by diverting her line of thinking and vision.Unfortunately, there was nothing interesting happening inside Grandma’s empty bedroom to take her attention, so she ended up just focusing on the dark brown closet and the flowery bed sheets while she tried to control her breathing as well.Within a couple of minutes, she had successfully managed to get rid of all her symptoms.The next step was to get out of Grandma’s bedroom andensure the servants and her bodyguards that she was okay because she didn't want Jamal to know about anything that happened, since she won't say a word the servants had to seal their mouths too.

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED.Eating with Grandma while experiencing an emotional post traumatic condition was the worst decision Adele made. Not for a single moment did Grandma spare her poor nerves and ears from hearing how the hit on Shannelle’s forehead could have been much more dangerous if it landed on her nose, her eyes, her mouth or her temporal bone.When Adele logically asked her what the hell was thistemporal bone, Grandma was more than eager to reply."The doctor said it's the part of the skull around the ear area. It is very fragile, she could have had a concussion!"Adele bet the doctor was so idle that he explained the whole freaking human head anatomy for them. It is either that or that the poor man was actually forced to explain the human anatomy because Grandma and her mother in-law fought at the hospital and got him involved and stuck between them.She spoke for a very long time and although Adele was initially hungry, she became full without eating much just hearing her

The previous night, she(Shannelle) had provoked her and only Jamal's intervention made her not burst into tears.Everyday of her life, she wondered what it was about her that caused her mother and sister-in-law to hate her so much. She wondered what she had done to make them despise her so much. No matter how much her husband loved and cared for her, no matter how much she tried to convince herself that his love and acceptance was enough for her, she knew deep down in her heart that she needed both Shannelle and Aliya's love before she'd ever feel welcomed into that family as a daughter-in-law."Tsss…" She sighed for the millionth time that morning with her eyes squeezed shut and her nostrils breathing out hot air.She was tired and wished eve

He was dressing up for work."It says Reid."Reid!The moment the name registered in Jamal's mind, he bolted out the closet and flew over to the bed to pick up the call. Adele was shocked."Reid!" He called the moment he swiped the green icon and pressed the phone against his ear."Jamal." The person on the other end of the phone called and Jamal smiled. "Do I still have a betrothed?" He asked calmly and Jamal chuckled lightly and looked up at the ceiling.He smiled hard and heaved out a heavy sigh. Confused, Adele could only stare and wonder what was going on."Yes, you do." Jamal finally replied to the person. "When are you coming?""I'll arrive on Sunday." The Reid guy replied and Jamal smiled even wider."I'm get
