A Few Hours Ago

The Montclair Family Manor

Caleb sighed deeply after reading the last line of the proposal rejection email. “I was such a big fool to think they were going to help us,” he mumbled in defeat, massaging his temples. His hair was messy due to the amount of times he had run his fingers through them. The first three buttons of his shirt was left undone and his eyes were swollen from lack of sleep.

“You don’t have to blame yourself love, you’ve done your best.” Vanessa said softly fro

  • The Bride He Abandoned    Ashley Is Back

    Meanwhile, back at the Montclairs estate, the car had just rolled to a stop in front of the driveway. Vanessa didn’t wait for the driver to open the door before stepping out and storming into the mansion, with Caleb following close behind.Her heart was pounding, not from nerves, but from the burning cocktail of humiliation and fury still coursing through her veins. The sharp sting of Ashley’s slap still lingered on her cheeks, and worse, the memory of Jamal standing up for Ashley gnawed at her pride.How the hell has that bitch come to know someone like Jamal Hale? The young master of Hale conglomerates. No matter how many times she replayed that scene in her mind, it just didn’t make sense to her. That should’ve been her standing there with Jamal, not Ashley..As if that wasn’t enough, Ashley even had a daughter, while she had spent years desperately trying to conceive without success. Why did everything always seem to go Ashley’s way? She was terrified that with Ashley back… she m

  • The Bride He Abandoned    Don’t Lose Her This Time

    The ride back home was a quiet and silent one for Jamal. He had no idea how many times he had smiled during the journey, only that his thoughts kept drifting back to Ashley and everything that had happened between them that evening.Today was easily one of the happiest days of his life. Not only had he finally spoken to the woman he had loved for years, but he had also driven her home and shared a small conversation with her. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips as the memory replayed in his mind.After what felt like forever, Jamal finally arrived at his home. He pulled into the driveway, switched off the engine, and stepped out of the car, the smile still lingering on his face.Getting into the living room, he was welcomed by his maids. Some of them couldn’t help but steal curious glances in his direction. Most of them had been working here for years, yet they could hard remember the last the they had seen their young master smiling so openly.Jamal didn’t spare the serva

  • The Bride He Abandoned    Young Master Jamal Did All That?

    “Oh my God, babe. You mean Jamal told Caleb to screw himself, drove you home and even kissed your hand? That’s amazing!”“Shhhh! You’re going to wake Sophie.” Ashley cautioned Vee, playfully glaring at her as she tucked the little girl to bed. They both exited the girl’s room, with Vicky gently shutting the door behind them.“I’m sorry babes,” Vicky said between laughs, “I just can’t believe all of that actually happened. I never imagined you’d run into your ex-husband and his wicked wife at the gala, let alone end up arguing with them. Thank goodness Jamal showed up when he did. That must have been priceless to watch. I wish I was there just to see the look on Caleb’s and Vanessa’s faces.”Ashley rolled her eyes. “You’re exaggerating, Vee. Jamal didn’t tell them to screw themselves. He simply put them in their place, then drove me home after the gala, that’s all. He didn’t kiss me on the hand, so stop making things up.” Despite her words, Ashley found herself smiling as her thoughts

  • The Bride He Abandoned    One Step At A Time

    The gala was set with round tables, each seating about six guests.The closer the table to the front, the more important the guests were.Jamal and Ashley occupied one table by themselves, while Sophia sat beside Jamal, completely engrossed in the game on her phone. Ever since they had entered the hall, she had refused to leave his side, clinging to his arm as though she had known him her entire life.That sight left Ashley speechless.She knew better than anyone how wary Sophia was around strangers. Yet somehow, in the span of a few minutes, the little girl had grown so attached to Jamal.The two of them looked so lovely together… almost like father and daughter.Ashley nearly choked on the thought. What on earth was she thinking? She quickly shook her head, silently scolding herself for letting such an absurd idea cross her mind.Although she still didn’t understand why he had chosen to help her tonight, it was still thanks to him that she was able to find Sophie on time before anyt

  • The Bride He Abandoned    She’s With Me Tonight

    Hearing her little girl break into sobs, Ashley’s anger melted away almost instantly. She had made it her number one rule never to lose herself in front of her little girl. Quietly letting out a deep breath, she was about to comfort her when Jamal moved. He knelt before Sophia and gently wiped her tears. “Hey, don’t cry, little one, your mummy isn’t angry. She’s just protecting you from these bad people,” he said softly, offering her a reassuring smile Sophia sniffled and nodded, her tiny hands still clutching his sleeve. That simple gesture sent another wave of shocked gasp through the hallway. Did the young master of Hale conglomerate… just smile? To them, Jamal Hale was a man known for his cold demeanor, fierce temper, and unapproachable nature. Just a month earlier, they had witnessed how he single handedly brought down an entire broadcasting company for spreading false news about his younger sister. Yet here he was, speaking to a little girl with a tenderness they had never

  • The Bride He Abandoned    Don’t You Dare Speak Filth About My Daughter

    Just as the security guard was about to grab Ashley, Jamal’s voice sliced through the hallway. “Touch her… and you’ll lose that hand.”Both Ashley and Vanessa turned towards the source of the voice. Standing a few yards away was Jamal, dressed in a perfectly tailored navy blue suit that clung to his frame like a second skin. One hand rested casually in his pocket while the other held little Sophia’s hand protectively.The moment the crowd recognized him, a collective gasp swept through the hallway. Even Caleb and Vanessa were not left out. The color visibly drained from their faces as they stared at the man standing besides Ashley.Why wouldn’t it? Even with all the wealth and influence they possessed, they both knew they were nowhere near Jamal’s level. Even if they sold the entire Montclair enterprise, they still wouldn’t be worthy of standing in his shadow.He was a man far beyond their reach. The young master of Hale Conglomerate. A man whose name alone carried enough weight to sh
