Another Chance At Love Chapter 107
Adele's PovA ringing sound woke me up from a nice dream of Dan and I having a picnic on the beach. I opened my eyes, wondering who could be called me so late then saw it was morning. I squinted at the sun streaming in and closed my eyes again. I was falling asleep when I realized I was snuggling up to someone. I froze and immediately pulled away. It was Dan and he was fast asleep. Memories of last night came back to me and I blushed. We had spent most of the night making love and had fallen asleep in each other’s arms. The phone rang again. I walked to my dress that lay on the floor in front of the door and pulled it out from the pocket. It was Rachel calling me. Oops, I thought, she wants to know if I am on my way. I will call her back later. I looked at the time and my eyes widened. I would be late for work. I went over to shake Dan. “Get up.” I said. “Mmmm..why?” He mumbled sleepily. “We have to get to work.” “Forget it. Come back to bed.” I rolled my eyes

“What he has always wanted. To help him plan a hostile takeover of RICH INTERNATIONAL.” Adele said. “I am guessing you said no. Which is what caused the argument, right?” “Yes.” She sighed. “So your Dad was behind it all along?” “Yeah. I have been hoping he would give it a rest but he isn’t giving up. He said a lot of hurtful things just now.” She said sadly. He pushed her hair back gently. “You are doing the right thing. He is lucky you haven’t reported him to the authorities.” Dan said. “He is just trying to get his company back. But he is going about it the wrong way.” “Well no one forced him to sell the shares. Don’t worry I will talk to my Dad about it. Maybe we can give him back more shares.” She smiled. “Thank you.” “Now forget him. By the way I spoke to my dad about Jay’s birthday, he wants us to have the party at the mansion. Would you like that?” “Sure that would be perfect. Thanks so much.” “He is happy to help. He also wants you to leave the plannin

Adele’s Pov “Thanks so much for your help Miss Taylor.” The brown haired woman said, smiling broadly. “Call me Claire, and it is my pleasure.” I said. “We really appreciate it,” her fiancé said. He also had brown hair, in fact they looked like siblings. “We were so lost as to which design to use then we met you, and now everything is falling into place. You have been a big help.” “I am just doing my job.” I closed the catalog we had been going over, looking at designs for their new home. They stood up and I followed them to the door. “We would like to invite you to the wedding.” The woman said. “Yes please come Claire.” Her fiancé agreed. I hesitated. I hadn’t been to a social event in years and didn’t want to go, but they were my clients, I had to refuse carefully. “It is on Saturday right? I may be busy that day,” I said gently. I saw their faces fall. “But if I am not I will come.” I said quickly. “I promise.” Their faces brightened. They praised me once more then

Adele's PovI was slightly shaken as I half ran to Rachel’s house. I kept looking back, but there was no sign of the man.By the time I reached Rachel’s house I had calmed down. I wasn’t been followed.I knocked on the door. I could hear Jay’s excited voice from inside.“Mommy’s here.” He squealed.The door opened and he jumped into my arms. If it had been daytime he would have been looking out of the window and seen me coming. He would have run outside to welcome me, like I used to do to my dad. I shook off the memory and hugged him tightly.“Hey mommy, guess what? We have a new slide at our school.”“That’s great.” I said.“Welcome Claire. You are just in time for dinner.” Rachel said as we followed her into the house.“Really you shouldn’t have.” I said.“I should and I did. It isn’t fair for you to go home and start cooking after a long day.”We went through this conversation almost every evening. Rachel would have dinner waiting for me when I came to pick up Jay, and I would be

Adele’s PovI felt relived as I opened the door to my apartment. It was two tiny bedrooms, a living room, and kitchenette. Not much, but it was home. And after a long, hectic day, I looked forward to coming home.I put the groceries in the kitchen then got Jay ready for bed.“Mommy,” he said as I combed his hair.“Yeah sweetie.”“Why don’t I have a family?”I froze in shock.“What do you mean?” I asked.“At school today my friends talked of their grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles. How come I don’t have any?” “Well my mom, your grandma, is in heaven.” I explained.“With my daddy?”I swallowed nervously. “Yes.”“What about grandpa?”“He lives in Fresno with your other grandma and your aunt Karen.”“Can we go see them? Please? I want to meet them.” He begged, looking at me with his bright blue eyes.“Okay we will.”“When?” He asked eagerly.“I am so busy now…but I will make time. I promise.”He smiled happily and I felt my heart squeeze painfully.I put him to bed and kissed him g

5 years EarlierAdele’s Pov That morning I woke up to a warm sunshine and a cold ball of uneasy in the pit of my stomach. Today was my twentieth birthday and I was full of excitement. So why the cold ball of fear? I had no idea, except I felt as if something terribly life-changing was about to happen to me. But what? Was anyone going to die? No! Of course not. I was being silly. Today was my big day and nothing bad was going to happen. I was just excited and why not? Dad had promised me a big party. As the CEO of the largest winery in the state, and one of the richest men in the state, I knew the party would be the talk of town. I jumped out of bed and ran into the shower. I hummed happily as I showered, then got dressed, admiring my hot body in the full length mirror. I was already imagining the party and all the rich kids that had promised to attend. I was a bit disappointed though because my boyfriend Harry won’t be attending. He was out of the state. But I told myself I wo

Adele’s Pov What the hell! Why were they doing this to me? When Karen turned seventeen a couple of months ago we’d had a huge party. I had helped organize it and had been very happy for her, despite my efforts not being appreciated. So why couldn’t I have a party now I was twenty? Why had dad suddenly change his mind? I had a feeling Tina had something to do with it. She must have convinced him to change his mind after I had left for school. I felt tears sting my eyes. Why couldn’t Tina treat me like her daughter too? Why the hate? I sat down heavily on my bed. Tina hadn’t always been this way. Dad had met and married her three months after we had lost my mom to a car accident. I had been three years old then. Looking back now I suspect he and Tina may have been having an affair, although I had no proof. But if my suspicions were correct, it would be very heatless of him. Sleeping with another woman while he was married to my mom. At first Tina was an angel, or so I thoug

Adele’s Pov “You are not going to a party dressed like that are you?” Lucy asked as she let me into her house. “What is wrong with it?” I asked, looking at my blue blouse and miniskirt. “Everything is wrong with it. Come on let’s get you into something sexy. Today is your birthday. You need to look sexy.” She said and led me to her bedroom. “Where are your parents?” I asked as I noticed she was unusually loud and carefree. Usually she was always quiet and acting innocent when her strict parents were around. “Out to a party of their own. Here put this on.” She pulled a dress out of her wardrobe and handed it to me. I put it on. It was black, short and tight. “It is beautiful, but isn’t it too short?” I asked trying to pull the dress lower. “Nonsense! This is perfect for the party. You look hot girl! Even Harry won’t recognize you.” I laughed. “Right!” “When is he coming back to town?” She asked. “Next week. I am so horny I can hardly wait!” “Ma

Karen sat at a table in the Top Café, sipping coffee and impatiently looking towards the door. She was dying to see who the mystery person was. When she’d told her mom Tina had been skeptical and had told Karen not to go, but Karen insisted. Getting Adele out of her way was worth the risk. Besides she was meeting the person in a public place so nothing bad could happen. But now as she glanced at her watch and saw it was nearly 1pm, she became angry. Her mom had been right, this was a prank. Maybe Adele had even set it up just to laugh at her. She clenched her fist in fury. “Hey cutie.” A man said startling her. She frowned at the smirking, tattooed stranger as he sat down. “Go away. I am waiting for someone.” She snapped. “Yeah me. Sorry to keep you waiting. Karen right?” “Who the hell are you?” “A guy who can make Adele gone and Dan yours.” “How? And how did you get my number?” “I stole it from my sister Zoey. My name is Craig. I’m Dan’s brother. I have a plan that

Dan and Adele had dinner in an open air restaurant overlooking the ocean. “This is really great. I didn’t know you knew a place like this.” She said as they waited for their order. “I read about it online. It got great reviews so I decided we should give it a try.” Their order came and they ate in silence. “So do you still think Fresno has nothing to offer you?” He asked as they had dessert. “Yes. I think I have nothing to gain staying here.” “Please think again.” “ I have. But I’ve also decided to give it one more chance. I’m hoping things will get better. Dan was pleased and relieved. “How about a toast?” He asked. They toasted. “And since we are making a fresh start, let’s promise to be open and honest with each other and not let other people influence us.” He said. Adele raised her eyebrows. “Wow! That is really shocking coming from you.” “What does that mean?” “You jump to conclusions without hearing from me, you dated my sister to hurt me, and listene

Craig walked into the living room as Zoey threw a cup against the wall. “What now?” He asked rolling his eyes. “If you keep this up we won’t have any cups left in this house. What is pissing you off now?” She ignored him. He dropped into an armchair. “Tell me.” She didn’t answer but dropped her phone on his lap. He read the headline of the news blog. “What the fuck! Dad made her an executive!” He yelled. Karen didn’t say anything. She poured herself another drink and sat on the sofa. “What happened to your big plan?” He asked. “I don’t know!” She yelled. “Take it easy. What went wrong? I thought you had everything planned so Adele would take the fall.” “I did. Everything pointed to her. But this afternoon, out of nowhere Dad announced he had discovered Tim Graham was the spy not her. I don’t know what the fuck went wrong.“ “Have you spoken to Karen about this?” “The idiot was here just now.” “Really? I thought I heard angry voices. She must have been pissed

“What are your plans for your new department?” Dan asked as they finished their coffee. “Honestly Dan I don’t have any plans because I am not taking the job.” “Why?” He asked alarmed. “My original plan hasn’t changed.” “Are you still thinking about leaving?” He frowned. “Yes. I am going back to Palo Alto tomorrow.” “Why? You have a good job now.” “You think that is important? My life was calmer there. I had a family, Rachel, Jay, and I. We were happy. I want that back.” She said. “You can have that here.” “I have tried it didn’t work. Back there I had people who trusted me, here you had no trouble believing I was a spy.” She said softly. “I know and I am sorry. But you believed Craig when he lied against me.” “And I still tried to find the truth, even though you do act like an ass when drunk, and I did apologized when I realized I was wrong. But you believed it without even thinking about it. Then you are sleeping with my sister of all people. I can’t just forge

There was a minute of stunned silence as everyone stared at Chris then Adele, who was just as shocked. Then Dan began to clap and everyone else did too. Except Zoey. She looked shocked, not believing what she was hearing, then turned bright red with anger and glared hatefully at Adele before storming out of the room. Meanwhile Adele was showered with congratulations from her co workers. She stared at them tongue tied. “Congratulations Adele.” One of her co workers said. “I am really happy for you. Sorry if we have been so nasty, we thought you were the one trying to sabotage the company.” “Yeah.” Another said. “ We never knew it was Tim of all people. Please forgive us.” “It..it…em..it’s okay. I am just happy everything has been solved.” Adele stammered. “Congratulations our new HOD.” Chris said coming up to her. “I know your appointment will be one of the best decisions I have ever made.” “I appreciate this Chris but I can’t be HOD when I move to Palo Alto.” “Nope.

Adele’s Pov I felt color drain from my face. I was happy Jay was napping and couldn’t see all this. Karen grinned triumphantly. “You heard drama queen! Pack your junk and beat it!” She said. “I wasn’t talking to her.” Dan snapped. “I was talking to you.” Karen’s eyes widened in surprise, so did mine. “You need to leave Karen. You shouldn’t be here. I didn’t invite you neither did Adele.” He said. “But Dan-“ “Leave.” She looked at Dan then me. Her face was red with anger and humiliation then she left, slamming the door. “Believe me I didn’t invite her.” He said. “It doesn’t make you innocent. She is here because of you.” “And I sent her away.” “For now. I’m sure you will make it up to her in bed later tonight.” I sneered. “I am not sleeping with her! How else can I say it?” “Save it because I don’t care. After tomorrow I will be gone and she can move in.” “You can’t. You know what will happen to the deal.” “I don’t care.” I went back into the living ro

Adele's Pov “Is there a reason you are questioning my love for my wife?” Dan asked putting his arm around me. His touch was like electricity and I had to force myself not to pull away. “Dan. Adele and I are old friends. We were just catching up.” Harry said looking uncomfortable. “Didn’t sound like that to me.” Dan said and turned to me. “Am I wrong honey?” “No you are not. He was harassing me.” I said. “No I-“ Harry stammered. “I don’t like people harassing my wife Owens.” Dan said coldly. “It really pisses me off, and when I am pissed off you won’t want to deal with me. Let this be the last time it happens, or else you won’t be the only one who suffers the consequence.” Harry looked at him. I could see he was angry and scared. “Sure Dan. No need to get mad, it won’t happen again. Nice seeing you again Adele.” He said and walked away. “Are you okay?” He asked. “As if you care!” I snapped pulling away from him. “Hope your girlfriend won’t get mad you left her to c
