CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO.The time on Adele's wrist watch read five pm, which was her closing time and she couldn't be any happier. Her first day of work had been a very hectic one. Her office colleagues had been nothing but nice and understanding towards her the entire time, but Grace did not fail to show her disdain for her everytime they had an encounter, but Adele cared less. All she wanted to do was do her work and leave the office when her time was due."Alright Adele, see you tomorrow." Said Kelly as she waved and exited the office. Adele just smiled and rode on with packing her stuff.When she was done, she stepped out of the office to the hallway and her cell phone chimed in her bag. She took it out to check who had texted and her heart began racing when she saw that the text was from Jamal. She quickly unlocked the phone and went on to read the message."Follow the guy dressed in a black suit at the far end of the hallway you are currently standing in. He's going to lead you to my

CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR.Adele on the other hand had no idea things were heating up on Jamal's side and were about to cross over to her side as well. She went to work everyday, did her work diligently, had a good time with her colleagues and did not fail to put Grace in her place every single time she tried to overdo things or speak rudely to her.It was needless to say, but Grace hated her to her bones, but Adele cared less.That afternoon, she went over to the documentary to get a pack of A4 sheets that they would be using in the office and on her way back, she tripped on the staircase and fell, rolling down back to the floor she came from and that resulted in her fainting. The people who witnessed that happened got alarmed."Adele!" One of the workers shouted in shock as he rushed over to her still body. Others joined him and when they noticed that she was unconscious, they carried her to the healthcare unit of the conglomerate.Sean, who noticed the commotion asked what was going on a

CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX.Jamal's alarm sounded at exactly six am and he snapped his eyes open. He attempted to rise up from the bed, but he felt some weight on his right arm. That's when he turned around and saw Adele sleeping peacefully on it and a smile formed on his face.Memories of what happened the previous night flooded his mind and he slapped his forehead with his free left hand and groaned in frustration. He had a nightmare which Adele witnessed and when he woke up, he told her his big secret and then begged her to stay the night in her arms. He had known that he would sleep peacefully in her arms and that's exactly what happened. For the first time in many months, he had slept like a baby.No nightmare about his baby, because he had spent the night with the baby's mother.He looked down at Adele one more time and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. He wanted to stay and watch her sleep, but he had a lot of work waiting for him at the office. He wasn't in the office almost all da

CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT.Adele drove back home with mixed emotions. She was seriously angry at the fact that Danielle attempted to play the victim in everything that had happened when it was in fact because of her that she had a miscarriage.If Danielle had not organized an urgent meeting that night, she(Adele) would not have fought with Jamal that night and he would not have pushed her to the ground. Everything that happened was Danielle's fault and Adele hated the fact that she was trying to wiggle herself out of it.Nevertheless, she felt relieved that for the past year, Jamal had had nothing to do with her. Rumor had spread countless times in the country that Danielle and Jamal were dating, but Jamal never confirmed any of those rumors because they weren't true.Adele meant everyone she had said to Danielle back there. She was going to make sure Jamal did not end up with Danielle.When she arrived at the building where her apartment was located, she drove into the underground parking

CHAPTER SIXTY. Adele went to work the next day and her colleagues were elated to see her. Kelly even brought her a box of chocolates as a gift to get her to recover quicker and she was very grateful to her.Her morning had gone smoothly, but after lunch break, her head began to ache unexpectedly. She couldn’t do anything and her temperature was high. Grace was furious, but had no choice but to let her leave the office early. She passed by the health care unit to get consulted before heading back home.She was about to call Jamal and tell him that she was not feeling too well, but she remembered that she was mad at him because he did not call back the previous day as promised. She had been waiting all day and for the better part of the night for his call, but it didn't come through and even when she called at night, his number didn't go through. She was disappointed.She had gone to bed with her heart and with a million thoughts running on her mind. She thought of the possibility th
