THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR.
CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR.Adele arrived at the work office where she shared with three other editors and she was shocked to see that Chase had not come to work yet. He was always the first to arrive at the office and he was always made fun of by the male colleagues.She greeted the others who were already present and walked over to her cubicle, but with her gaze focused on Chase's. She noticed it was totally empty. His laptop and desktop were gone. Paperwork and stick notes were nowhere to be found. It was as if the place wasn't occupied by any human at all."What… what happened to Chase's cubicle." She asked the girl close to her and she sighed heavily."Well, no one knows. We've been asking ourselves the same thing since we got in. Chase is an early bird, it's shocking that he isn't here already and it's even more shocking that his cubicle looks deserted. Maybe he has been fired.""Fired!" Adele screamed, getting the attention of the others."Who has been fired?" One other guy asked as he
THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE.
CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE.Adele bit her lips hard as she let his words sink in her brain. He was striking every nerve in her body and getting her extremely enraged with every word he said. The only thing she could feel for him at the time was hatred. She hated the fact that he had come back to her life, she hated the fact that he had the power and connections to do whatever he wanted at any time, she hated him for ruining her life.She loathed him with every fibre in her body and if she were to set eyes on him at that moment, she would give him two solid snacks on both his left and right cheeks, then maybe her anger would subside after that. "You are nothing but a sick bastard.""I am just an unfortunate man who married a very beautiful woman. A woman who looks pleasant in the eyes of every man. The most desired woman in the world. I have to protect her at all costs, otherwise hungry lions will devour her for me before I even realise it.""The only hungry lion devouring me right now is yo
THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE CHAPTER FORTY-SIX

He was making it impossible for her to do anything in life without him getting involved. First, she lost her unborn child, then later she found out that her chances of ever conceiving again were very slim and now Jamal had made sure she was fired from her work place. He had also made sure no publishing firm in the country was ever going to hire her again.He was like an evil shadow lurking in the corners, following her everywhere she went.An evil shadow that brought her nothing but bad luck."Damn!" She screamed in agony as she hit the steering wheel countless times, shaking her head, caring less about the fact that her hair was turning into a hot mess.She was angry and frustrated at the same time.The same man she had been avoiding for the past year was back in her life to torment her and there was sadly nothing she could do about it.
THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN
CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN.Adele arrived at the conglomerate at exactly eight am. The moment she got out of the car, the valet showed up and she gave her car keys to him. She looked up at the mighty skyscraper standing before her and she didn't know whether to frown or smile. Jamal was definitely doing well for himself, but he was ruining her life in every possible way.She stepped into the lobby and was awed by how quiet and organized the place was. There were men dressed in black at every corner of the lobby. They were surely security personnels. She thanked her stars for having dressed properly that morning. Everyone looked glamorous and elegant. "Adele Mackenzie." She heard a female voice call her name and she immediately froze on her tracks and looked around, totally confused. Her heart was racing in her chest. "Behind you." The voice signaled. Adele turned around and her gaze fell on a well dressed woman, probably in her early forties who was staring at her with a blank expression.
THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT
CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT.Three men and three women, including Grace, were standing before Adele with their heads bowed down. The others had no idea why they had been summoned, but Grace knew and she was trembling on her spot.Adele stood far beside the window while Jamal walked to the center of the office to meet them. "Grace, what was the instruction I gave yesterday concerning Miss. Mackenzie?" Jamal asked calmly but firmly and Grace raised her head up to look at him with the most sorrowful look in her eyes.At that moment, she wished she could rewind time and treat Adele properly. She was at the brink of losing her job just because she was jealous of Adele.She had no idea who Adele was but the moment she laid eyes on her, she felt Jealous of her and had sworn to give her a hard time and now that was going to cost her her job."You said to collect her CV and introduce her to the other colleagues." She replied with a tiny voice."And did you do that?" Jamal asked, looking at her intens
THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE CHAPTER FORTY-NINE
CHAPTER FORTY-NINE.Adele couldn't understand Jamal's sudden change in behaviour towards her. Ever since they lost their child, he had been treating her like she meant the world to him. Like she was the only person who mattered to him and that freaked her out a great deal.She had already made peace with the fact that he did not love or care about her and now that he was acting so differently, it scared her because she did not know what to think or how to handle the situation.The damage had been done and she wanted nothing to do with him, but he seemed to not be d'accord with that fact.The entire day went by with her laying at home. She slept for the better part of the day and by nightfall, she decided to watch a movie before going to pick out the outfit she was going to wear to work the next day.Now that she had seen that everyone at the company dressed elegantly, she was going to her best to dress well so that blending in will not be difficult. Her first experience was not a good
THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE CHAPTER FIFTY
CHAPTER FIFTY.The next day at the conglomerate, Adele was welcomed by Grace yet again and this time around, the look on her face was even more deadly, but Adele couldn't care less. As long as she did not disrespect or humiliate her, they were going to be at peace with each other.Grace led her to the same tenth floor where her office was located, but this time around, they did not go into her office. She was taken to an office space which had over ten cubicles in it."This is where you will be working." Said Grace as they entered the office. Everyone else in the office rose to their feet on seeing her walk in and greeted her almost in unison."Good morning everyone." She responded to their greetings, still not smiling and Adele wondered if the woman ever smiled in her life.From the way everyone had stood up when she walked in and how composed they looked, Adele confirmed that she was doing a great job terrorizing the people below her and for that, she disliked the woman."This is Mi
THE BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE
CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE."What the hell!" Cole exclaimed in shock as he eyed Adele from head to toe before his gaze settled on her ring finger. He got even more confused when he didn't see any ring on it."But…but…" he stammered as he looked from her face to the ring finger and back to her face. "But there's no ring on your finger." He pointed out."Ah… that…" Adele chuckled. "There is an explanation for that and no I cannot give you that explanation. It's complicated." She blabbered and the guy just shrugged his shoulders."Well, I… I still don't believe the fact that you are married, but… if you say you are then fine, even though I see no reason for your husband to be mad that you have a coworker's number.""Male coworker." Adele emphasised and the guy nodded."Right!""Like I said, he is nonsensically possessive and I don't want to get into trouble." She said smiling and the guy lifted both hands up as a sign of him surrendering."Fine. No number then.""Thank you for understanding. I ha
