She had even tried the PA's number, but it didn't go through as well.She was sad that Jamal had not bothered to call her the entire day."Adele." Kelly called and Adele turned to look at her. It was five pm and they were all preparing to go home."Yes Kelly.""Here." Said Kelly, extending a decorated box to her. "It's for you.""What is it?""Just some chocolates to cheer you up. I noticed you've been very edgy all day, same as yesterday. I hope you feel better after eating them." Said Kelly and before she knew it, Adele crashed into her arms."Thank you very much, Kelly. Thank you for caring about me even though I'm a brat to you most of the time.""It's okay, I understand. People go through hard times. I hope you find a solution to your problems.""I hope so too, thanks again.""You are welcome." Said Kelly with a sweet smile as she left the office. Adele followed closely and headed strai

CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE.Aliya couldn't hold it in anymore. She thought going to her room to sleep would make her not to overthink what was going on, but that didn't help. She was so angry about the situation and she knew that if she didn’t air her mind, she was going to explode from fury, so she called a meeting that same evening.It was past nine pm and everyone(Adele, Jamal, Shannelle, Mr. Dominick and Grandma were seated in Mr. Dominick's private suit as per Aliya's orders.Jamal didn't want to attend the meeting, but Adele pleaded with him to attend so they could hear what his mother had to say.The last time they were gathered like that as a family was according to grandma's orders and she had made the announcement of Adele and Jamal's wedding. Adele's memory of that day was so clear like it had happened just the previous day.She had actually choked when the announcement was made and Jamal had helped her calm down by robbing her back. What shocked her the most was when Jamal agr

CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE.The next morning was a work day, so when the alarm went off, both Adele woke up and began getting ready for work. In the past, Adele would wait for Jamal to finish using the bathroom before she started, but that morning, they used it to get her.In less than no time, they were done dressing up for work."Adele." Jamal called as he walked over to Adele who was packing her wallet and other necessary things into her handbag on the bed."Hmmm." She answered as she looked up at him."What about our rings?""What about them?" She asked, furrowing her brows."Are we allowed to wear them?""Well, that will spark questions at work which I don't want to answer yet, same for you. Jamal, I would love for us to lay low for now. Please." She pleaded and he nodded in agreement, even though he wasn't fine with the suggestion.He just wanted to be considerate as well because when he had asked her not to spread a word about their marriage, she had accepted with no hesitation."Alr

CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN."You see what you caused, right?" Shannelle scolded at the top of her voice the moment Adele and Jamal walked into the living room. They just got back from work and weren't expecting to be scolded by Shannelle.Jamal, who was shocked at his sister's behaviour, looked at her fiercely, wondering if she had lost her mind."Is something wrong with you, Shannelle?" He demanded in a calm but deadly tone and his sister walked closer to him."Mum and dad moved out the moment you two left for work. They didn't listen to me no matter how much I begged them. It is your fault that they had to go away Adele." She scolded yeah again, pointing furiously at Adele and Jamal stood between them."Withdraw that finger of yours this instant!" He ordered with a domineering tone and Shannelle quickly did as told. "Have you gone mad? Raising your voice at me and pouring accusations on my wife, have you lost it?" He wasn't scolding. His voice was low, but one could tell that he was enra

CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE.“Look, Adele, it’s either you announce your marital status yourself or I will do that on your behalf. You have two minutes." Jamal threatened with a very serious look on his face the moment Adele walked out of the bathroom. It was not an exaggeration to say she was shocked, because he said these words just the way they sounded to you now!With no introductions, no explanations, Adele simply andinnocently walked inside their room. His voice was terrifying when he said those words and it sacred her.Being the negotiating person that she was, Adele logically asked him:" To whom should I report my status as a marriedwoman within two minutes? To the ghosts in this room?" She asked, feigning a confused look and Jamal’s jaw hardened."To him" he coldly replied while handing over her cell phone.Adele quickly checked her phone to see what he was talking about. After looking for a moment, she realized there was nothing particular about it, so she looked at Jamal, ex
