Shannelle was still shaken by all that was going on. First, her brother had arranged for her to be married to one of the most eligible bachelors in the country and second, she had reconciled with Adele, her brother's wife. She was elated and her reconciliation with Adele made her feel like a heavy weight had been lifted off of her shoulders.
She went over to her parents house to announce the news of her marriage but when she got there, her father wasn't at home, so she had to tell just her mother. Before leaving the mansion that morning, she had spoken about it with Jamal and he had instructed her not to tell their parents the name of the man or disclose any information about him.
He said so because he knew his parents would get furious and come to confront him. He wanted to tell them himself.
