CHAPTER FIFTEEN.Days passed and neither Adele nor Jamal addressed the issue they had. Jamal kept late nights as usual and Adele chose to pretend like he did not exist. Their marriage was a catastrophe.It was the weekend and as usual, everyone was at home, relaxing. Jamal on the other hand was in his study room, working as usual. Danielle had even come to visit and she was seated in the living room with Shannelle. Adele made sure to stay on the third floor of the house all day. The last thing she wanted was to go downstairs and meet Shannelle and Danielle who never missed the chance to taunt her.Her strained relationship with her husband had reached their ears and she knew they were waiting for the slightest chance to finish her off.That afternoon, Adele was randomly walking past Jamal’s study room in the corridor when she noticed that her dear husband was not there alone. Instead, He was in the company of Danielle. Initially, Adele thought of just ignoring them both and contin
CHAPTER SIXTEEN.“You are Welcome, Mrs. King.” Kain, the butler greeted as he took Adele’s winter coat.“Thank you very much, Kain.” She responded with a sweet smile before heading for the staircase. All she wanted at that moment was to go into her bedroom and have a long rest. She had had a very hectic day at the office and barely had anything to eat as well.Her plans however, were ruined when she heard the voice of her mother in law calling her name.“Adele!” Her name came through again and she stopped on her tracks and rolled her eyes hard before turning to face the woman who was calling her like she was deaf.“Yes mother. Good afternoon.”“Keep your stinking greeting to yourself!” Aliya retorted bitterly. At that moment, Adele was confused because she had no idea what she had done to make the woman so furious. “How dare you!”“I… I don’t think I understand.”“You published an article today about a very good friend of mine and it was shown in the news. Do you have any idea how muc
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Adele’s face turned red when she walked into the bedroom and saw Jamal already lying on the bed with just a pair of shorts on, probably waiting for her. She had purposely put on a see-through nightgown which had beneath it, just a lingerie, no bra. With a smile plastered on her face, she seductively walked over to the bed to meet Jamal and the moment she lay on it, he captured her lips in an intense kiss. As he kissed her deeply, he let his fingertips trail down her long, slender throat, to the shelf of her collarbone, and then a little lower to the top swell of her breast. He felt her suck in a gasp of air as he touched the space between her breasts, which was exactly the width of his middle finger.The room was intensely silent. All he could hear was her breath, and his own heartbeat. Gently, he traced the shape of her breast, letting her fingers dip down the front of her dress.She wasn’t wearing a bra. His thumb passed over her nipple, which was stiff, standin
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN.Adele shook on the bed and snapped her eyes open when her very loud alarm sounded. Letting out an exasperated sigh, she picked up her cell phone and quickly turned off the alarm. It was six am in the morning and she needed to wake up and prepare for work. When she turned back to the other side of the bed, she noticed that Jamal was nowhere to be found. She weakly sat upright to scan around the room, thinking he would be sitting around somewhere, but he wasn’t. The room was void of any form of Jamal. “No, he did not!” She whispered as she took off the sheets from her naked body and stepped down from the bed. She winced when she felt the soreness between her thighs and that’s when the memories of last night flooded her mind. She recalled how Jamal ate her in and out. How he made her scream and above all, how he made her cum.That was her first night with a man and he had made it an incredible one for her. He was gentle with her as if he knew she had been a virgin. Jus
CHAPTER NINETEEN.It was already Friday and Adele was excited because Jamal was coming home the next day, which was Saturday. Throughout the week, she had been counting the days, hours, minutes and seconds left for his return and now that it was just a matter of hours before she saw him, she had no idea how to react. However, she was still sad about everything that was going on.Jamal hardly called her and even when she called, she was forwarded to his secretary who seemed to enjoy telling her that her husband was busy and couldn’t talk to her. They had spoken roughly two times that week and she missed him dearly.She hated the fact that she was beginning to get too attracted to him. She hated the fact that she had feelings for him and cared so much about him because she knew it was one sided.One thing she had never understood was why he accepted to marry her when it was evident that he did not like her one bit. That was a question she had always wanted to ask him, but she didn’t ha
CHAPTER TWENTY.Weeks passed and nothing changed between Adele and Jamal. He did not make it up to her like he had promised. They kept having sex like a regular couple and most times, Adele would wake up to an empty bed. He hardly stayed the night after spending the night with her. Adele was heartbroken and devastated. She wanted to tell Grandma all what Jamal was doing to her, but on a second thought, she changed her mind. It was her marital problem and she had to deal with it herself.Since her and Jamal were not on talking terms, she decided to immerse herself in her work to avoid thinking about him all the time. She was so busy with work that she forgot to care for herself. The past week, she had been feeling tired and nauseous most of the time. At first, she thought it was bad food she ate, but as the feeling prolonged, she began to suspect pregnancy. Her and Jamal had been having unprotected sex and she also noticed her period was more than one week late.Without any hesitation
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE.The next morning, Adele woke up with terrible morning sickness. Jamal was sitting on the sofa in their bedroom, tying away on his laptop.Adele wanted to go into the bathroom and vomit, but she was scared that he would understand her reason for vomiting. She was still very mad at him and she did not want him to know just yet that she was pregnant with his child.She needed some time to make up her mind to do so.“Good morning Adele.” Jamal greeted from the Sofa without sparing her a glance.“Good morning.” She mumbled, trying hard to keep her vomit at bay. She was experiencing her worst symptom days in his presence!She kept looking at him every two minutes and praying he would just vanish to his bureau or library, or have a sudden meeting at his company, or even vanish to the tennis court to meet his most precious Danielle, but he did not and it was becoming much harder to supportnausea with every passing moment.He on the other hand was stupidly working on his l
CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO.Adele went straight to the doctor's office for a check up when she noticed she was bleeding. At the hospital, tests were carried out on her and she was later told she had a difficult pregnancy and was the cause of her persistent vomiting and nausea that morning. She was told to expect other symptoms like dizziness. Fever or chills, blurry vision and many others. She was also given a long list of does and don'ts which she could hardly recall and all that made her very scared.When she left the doctor's office, she was terrified and devastated. She did not want to tell Jamal about her pregnancy just yet, but it seemed it was really important for him to know. She has a difficult pregnancy and it was important that he knew so that they would both know how to go about it.Once she got settled in the car, her driver took off and she tried Jamal's number, but her call was immediately forwarded to his secretary who immediately told her that Jamal was busy and cut the line
