Melanie opened her eyes and shut them quickly at the intensity of light that entered her orbs. She felt limb and sour but opened her eyes again after she felt the presence of someone holding her hand, she knew the touch of the person that held her and at the thought of it, she turned her head to see a worried Jamal.His head was partially resting on her hand and he sounded like he was praying. His gesture warmed her heart and she felt a ting of tears that formed at the side of her eyes.She didn't know how long she was gone but she knew it was a long time.“Melanie,” Jamal muttered.He could not utter any other thing but he felt relief wash over him at the sight of an alive and awake Melanie.“You're awake!” Jamal exclaimed happily.He released the breath he didn't know he was holding. Standing up, he smiled and hurriedly sent for Doctor Rochester.“How long have I been out?” Melanie asked.Her voice was hoarse from not talking for days and her throat felt patched.Jamal immediately n

Everything was back to normalcy. Jamal got his business associates back and his wife was safe, what more could he ask for? He had a new business partner that was making a trip to New York. This new partner was referred to him by a trusted person and so Jamal anticipated his arrival.Jamal made arrangements to meet with this person, so much so that he cleared a few appointments on his schedule for that day.According to sources, this person was one of the wealthiest tycoons in the business sphere with over a thousand businesses around the world, so it meant bigger growth for Jamal and he was not willing to let such an opportunity slip right out of his fingers.“Dennis, you have to welcome our latest guest, especially, no mistakes,” Jamal instructed.Jamal didn't want to sound too eager to meet this person so he acted calm. He was just recovering from his bankruptcy and he needed all the lucrative deals he could find.“Yes, sir,” Dennis answered.He was about to leave for the airport w

Melanie prepared dinner for her husband, Jamal today. They had been so busy resolving a lot of issues that they forgot all about themselves and she wanted to rekindle that spark she once had with Jamal.The table was set with diverse delicious meals and exotic wines. The table was designed with fancy lights and rose petals decorated all over.She wanted to make Jamal happy and relaxed so she had other plans besides dinner for him.Jamal got home and was surprised by what Melanie did but before he could object to having dinner, Melanie pulled him and they both ate.“You did all these yourself?” Jamal asked, puzzled.When did she make the time for all of this? He thought. She was always working even when she didn't go to the office so he wondered how she was able to pull off all these.“Yes and there's more,” Melanie said with a satisfied smile.“More?” Jamal repeated, astonished.Melanie didn't say anything, instead, she pulled him again and this time, it was towards their bedroom door.

When Jamal got home, he was welcomed by his wife, Melanie. She took his clothes off and ran him water to bathe. She did seem bothered, her face would be bright and the next minute, it became grumpy again but she did a good job at hiding it. She knew that if she brought up the topic of having kids and trying other means, she would get the same reply that she had been getting. " Are you okay?" she asked her husband who did not look okay as well. She hid the way she was feeling but Jamal could not hide his own. His face held so much worry. Jamal was lost in thoughts, he could not get the thought of Alex coming to his office and making advances at him. First of all, was the fact that Alex happened to be a lady which he was not expecting, and now, she seems to be unraveling herself more. " I'm okay," he answered Melanie. He thought that Melanie should know something about her because he could not understand why Alex had to use that in trying to get to him. It's been long overdue for a ch

The office building was usually calm. Jamal walked inside. He was greeted by everyone. Everyone was always busy working. He walked into the building with confident strides. "Good morning, sir." Dennis greeted Jamal. He responded to him. He looked bothered. He sat down and began working. " Sir, check this" Dennis brought out a file for Jamal to look at. He took the file and took a look at it. "Send it," he said to Dennis after going through it. Get continued to work. His attention was fixed on his laptop when a knock came to the door, he asked the person to come in. They opened and Alex walked in. " You can leave," Jamal said to Dennis who was working on something in Jamal's office. He obeyed and left the office leaving only Jamal and Alex alone. "You can sit," he said to her, and she sat down. Her legs crossed on the other. " How is it going, hope there are returns, we need to work hard," he said to herShe was silent for a while. Looking into his face like she did not understand
