Chris Richards stood in the doorway looking round the room, then he spotted Jason and walked towards him. He was tall and broad shouldered, his greying hair had been dyed back to it’s original ash blonde color. He was well dressed like always in a dark blue suit. He was the richest man in California and was known as a ruthless businessman who did anything to score a point in business. His personal life wasn't the best either. His four ex wives had all complained of how mean and abusive he was. He sat down and smiled at Jason arrogantly. “Hey Jay, sorry to keep you waiting. I was in a meeting that is going to make me millions, so you see I couldn’t leave it to come and see you. Hope you aren’t mad?” He asked mockingly. Jason gritted his teeth behind a false smile. “No, never. Business before pleasure.” He said mildly. Chris smirked. He knew Jason was fuming but pretending everything was fine because he needed something for him. Humbling Jason Turner and treating him like a nob

Chris' eyebrows went up. “Dead? When? How?” “Yes, five years ago.” “I am sorry to hear that, how did it happen?” “She did something foolish like some kids do and it took her life.” “What did she do?” Chris asked, eyes narrowed. “I don’t want to get into it. I would rather forget the bad memory.” Jason snapped. “I understand. But it never made the news, not even on social media. Why is that? You are a big name in town, the death of your daughter would have made news.” “I didn’t want it to. Please forget about that. Let’s concentrate on business.” “We are. Adele is part of the deal, it can’t be done without her.” “Come on Chris! Of course it can. Ask for something else you want.” “I already have. The only thing I want is for us to be a family.” “Why? We are friends already, that should be good enough for us.” “No it isn’t. The alternative is I have a stake in the winery.” “You want a stake in my winery! Okay how much stake?” Jason asked reluctantly. “How mu

Present dayAdele's Pov I lay awake all night thinking about my childhood, and all the happy times I’d had before everything fell apart. I thought of my family. A year ago I had sent Dad an email asking to know how he was and telling him how much I missed him. He hadn’t replied and had blocked me. Now he had asked to see me which meant he must have forgiven me, but what about Tina and Karen? How would they react? I was eager to see them but not if it meant being mocked and called names in front of my son. But with Dad there I was sure everything would be okay. I thought of my ex boyfriend Harry and my ex best friend Lucy. Was there any chance I would run into them? And how would I react? I still couldn’t believe a girl I had called my best friend could have betrayed me like that. It was only now I could think about it without crying, but it still hurt. And I thought about the dark haired guy who I suspected was Jay's dad, would I run into him? I sighed. Maybe I would find

Adele's Pov My heart was pounding heavily as I walked up the driveway, and I was both excited and scared. Jay was besides me skipping and chatting excitedly. I wished I shared his enthusiasm. The house was just as I remembered it. I took a deep breath and rang the doorbell, then held my breath as the door opened. “Miss Turner!” Marie, our housekeeper said. “What a wonderful surprise.” Her eyes fell on Jay. “Is this your son?” “Yes. His name is Jason.” “Mommy who is this?” Jay whispered. “Jay this is our housekeeper Marie.” “Let me take your bag to your room,” She said taking my travelling bag. “Your family are in the sitting room.” I nodded and putting a smile on my face, walked into the sitting room. Dad, Tina, and Karen were all sitting on the sofa. They looked up as I entered. One look at dads face and my smile vanished. Any hope I had that this was a reconciliatory meeting vanished too. Dad’s face was red with anger. He glared angrily at Jay. “You have the nerve t

It seemed to me I had been sitting in the chair for hours. I was numb with shock and my heart ached. My eyes were filled with tears which I fought to stop from falling. I couldn't believe it. Not only had Lucy and Harry stabbed me in the back, they had gone ahead to rub salt in the wound. I managed to stand up and left the room. I could hear Jay and Marie in the kitchen but I couldn’t face them yet. I went upstairs and entered my bedroom. It was just the way I had left it except a picture of me and my mother, taken when I was a year old, had been removed. I now remembered I hadn’t seen any of my pictures hanging on the living room wall. I sighed heavily and sank to the ground, sobbing into my hands. When I had let it all out I got up. I had to go and wash my face but I hesitated, remembering that five years ago I had stood in this same bathroom and tried to take my life. I shook my head. All that was in the past. I went into the bathroom which was as clean as my room. Marie

Karen and Tina were sitting on the patio enjoying a orange juice and laughing at Adele. “Does that little slut really think she has a say about this marriage?” Tina laughed. “She is so irritating. I was hoping to see her really looking terrible but instead she is looking really good." Karen said jealousy. "She must have been selling herself for money. She is a slut after all, what did you expect?" " I don’t know why dad invited her over. He said she was dead to him so why did he go looking for her?” Karen complained. “Don’t worry honey your dad dosen’t care about her. She is just a tool we are using to get back our money your dad foolishly lost.” “But we don’t need her. Dan and I couldn’t get married.” “Agreed, but Chris insisted on him marrying Adele. So we have no choice. And we need Chris’ money.” “I still don’t understand why dad made such a foolish decision.” She grumbled. “It was stupid and it almost ruined us.” “It did ruin us. We were lucky Chris stepped

Adele's PovI returned to my room feeling hurt and humiliated. I should have known better than asking Karen for anything. I looked through my clothes and sighed. Most of my clothes were sweats, tshirts and jeans. Nothing good enough to wear to a first impression dinner and I didn't have enough money to buy something new. Asking my dad for the money was out of it. Rachel called me. I winced. I didn't want to tell her the truth, but I didn't want to lie either. "Hey Rachel." I said trying to sound normal. "Adele, how are you? How is it going?" "Well." I lied. "So your dad wanted you guys to make peace?" "Yes. We are talking. Everything is fine." "Are you sure you are okay?" "Yeah so is Jay. Thanks for asking." "Well your dad is a jerk but if he wants to guys to reconcile then I am happy." I bit my lower lip, feeling bad about lying to her. "Thanks again for calling Rachel, we will be home soon. Bye." I hung up before she asked more questions I had no answer fo

Adele's Pov“Hey! Why don’t you watch were you are going?” He said, his sexy dark eyes flashing angrily. “Me watch were I am going? That is rich coming from the guy with his face stuck in his phone.” I shot back also angry. He looked at me in surprise. Clearly he wasn’t used to being spoken to like that. “Hold on, are you talking to me?” He asked surprised. “Unless you have an invisible twin yes I am.” I said looking him in the eye. Even though I was angry I couldn’t help noticing how drop dead gorgeous he was with blue black hair, dark sexy green eyes and a strong jaw. All on a handsome face that could only belong to a mode. Wow! he was hot alright, and he also looked vaguely familiar. He wore a designer suit on his muscular, well sculptured body and for a crazy minute I wondered how he'd looked with no clothes on. Damn where had that thought come from? “You really don’t know who I am do you?” He said arrogantly. “Don’t bother telling me because I really do

Adele’s Pov “I am letting her go that’s what. What you are doing is crazy Tina! And I won’t support you.” Dad said. “You idiot! I am trying to help you solve a problem!” Tina yelled. “Just like I did with her useless mother.” “What?” I asked wide-eyed. “What do you mean? Did you have something to do with Claire’s death?” He asked. “Yes I did dumbass! What else was I suppose to do. You said you couldn’t be with me because you didn’t want to divorce her so I had to kill her. You mentioned she was going to Palo Alto to see her stupid friend so I waited on a quiet part of the road pretending I had engine trouble, when the fool stopped to help, I hit her on the back of the head and drove her car off a cliff. So your problems were solved.” “How could you be so evil Tina?” Dad asked shocked. “Shut up! I did it to help you. You should be thanking me! Now lock them up and stop being an idiot.” “Never! You have done enough. It ends now. I was an idiot to have had anything to do with you

Tina met Jason the same place she had met Adele. “What took you so long?” She asked suspiciously. “I went by a longer route. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t being followed.” He explained. “Okay, so you have everything?” “Yeah,” he said pointing to his case. “I heard you kidnapped Adele too?” “Yes to increase the ransom.” They began walking to the beach house. “She was the target, I used her son to get her. Tell me about Adele being Chris’ daughter, Claire cheated on you? I am not surprised. She was as useless as her daughter.” “There isn’t much to tell. Chris just told me she wasn’t my daughter, it explained a lot of things.” They got to the house and met Karen having lunch. “Dad! I was so happy when Mom said you were joining us. I hope you aren’t mad I didn’t tell you I was leaving?” “No. I wish you had though. Where is Adele and Jay?” “There.” Tina pointed to a door. “Let me see them.” Tina picked up a bunch of keys on the table and opened the door. Adele and Jay were s

“How could we be so stupid?” Dan groaned. He was pacing the living room very upset. “I was the idiot.” Chris said. “I should have known what Tina was up to when she didn’t want Adele around. In fact I should have had bodyguards here the minute this happened.” “It won’t have helped. From what the housekeeper said Tina didn’t rush in and kidnap her she lured her away.” Rachel said. “Jay and now Adele have been taken. What kind of an idiot am I not to have seen this?“ Chris asked helplessly. “Beating yourself up won’t help. We have to find a way to get them back.” Rachel said. “I am going to talk to Jason, he is going to tell me where his crazy wife is hiding.” Chris fumed. “I will come with you.” Dan said. “No. You two stay here and let me handle it.” Rachel said and left. Jason was staring at his dinner when Rachel walked in. “It is time to come clean Jason, where is Tina? Chris is right, you know where she is and you are hiding it from us.” She said. “I am not in t

The phone call had shaken Adele and Dan, but Rachel told them not to get upset. “Tina is trying to get to you guys, don’t let her win. You have to be strong.” She said. “I'm trying but it isn’t easy,” Adele cried. “Tina is crazy, what if she hurts him?” “She won't, she needs him to carry out whatever evil plan she has. Don’t worry, she will call again.” Two days later, Tina called Chris during lunch time. “Hey Chris, how are you? I'm calling you because you have what I need.” She said. “ You evil bitch! Where is Jay?” “The brat is fine don’t worry.” “If you harm him-“ “Why should I? I need him. I have no intention of hurting him. I just want to make a deal and I will let him go. Having him here is annoying.” “What do you want?” “Money.” “How much?” “I will tell you, but first call Dan and Rachel to your office by 4 pm. I want them to be there when I call. Do not call Adele.” “Why only Dan and Rachel? And why 4 pm? What are you up to?” He asked suspiciously.

Tina called Jason as he drove home. “Tina, what is going on? Is Karen with you?” He asked. “Calm down she is. I know you didn’t want her to know about our plan, but I couldn’t help contacting her. I hope you are not mad?” “Not really, although I wish you had told me first. Did she take Adele’s son?” “Yes, the brat is here.” “Tina that is kidnapping! She could be in big trouble! Why did you get her mixed up in this?” “Relax, no one is getting into trouble. We are going make money from this. I needed her help to pull it off.” “Money? How?” “From the ransom of course.” “Tina this is a bad idea.” “No it isn’t. Just calm down and leave it to me okay?” “Sure, take care of Karen, and please keep in touch.” When Jason got home he sank into a chair feeling tired and upset. He had guessed something was wrong when he tried to call Karen and couldn’t get through, then when he'd come home Marie had told him Karen had packed her bags to go on a camping trip. He had guessed s

Adele’s pov I couldn’t stop crying. Dan sat beside me trying to console me. Brenda was crying quietly in the armchair and Chris was on the phone, calling everyone he could think of to help find Jay. “This is all my fault,” Brenda said “No it is,” Dan said. “You didn’t get there on time because an accident delayed you, and I am very sure the accident was caused by Tina.” “It is my fault.” I cried. “I caused this. I brought Karen into our lives. You warned me Dan but I was stupid enough to trust her!” “Stop blaming yourself. It’s not your fault she turned out to be a witch, you couldn’t have known.” “Dan is right,” Chris said, None of you are to blame. We will find Jay, and arrest Karen and Tina, I promise.” The housekeeper led Dad into the room. “I got your message,” he said, “what’s going on? You said Karen kidnapped Jay? That’s impossible why would she do that?” “Because she is a psycho just like her mom and she needs to be stopped!” Chris fumed. ‘It is time to come

“Calm down Brenda, there must be some mistake,” Adele said trying to control her panic. “No! I got here and I couldn’t find him!” “Okay, I am on my way,” Adele said. She was trembling as she hung up and told Dan what had happened. “Calm down babe there must be a mistake somewhere. We will go to the school together.” He said. On the way to the elevator, Chris called him. “Dan I need to see you.” “Not now Dad-“ “It's urgent.” “I will wait in your car,” Adele said. Dan almost ran to Chris’ office. The man who had been with Karen was standing next to Chris. They were listening to a recording on a mobile phone on Chris’s desk. “Dad please make it snappy,” Dan said rushing in. “Listen to this.” Chris said. “I am in a hurry dad, tell me what it is.” “I found out where Zoey and her mom are living, somewhere across town. I sent one of my people to them to see what they were up to, and found out they were planning to hack into our company and steal millions, so I sent this guy to

She thought about the lunch and laughed, did the stupid Adele believe she was trying to be her friend?She is dumber than I imagined, Karen thought.She went to her room to wait for her mom’s call. It came an hour later.“Mom, I have been waiting.”“Sorry honey, I wanted to make sure you were back, how did it go?”“Better than I expected, I have the information.”“Meet at the usual place.”Karen hurriedly drove to the beach. Tina entered the car as soon as she stopped it.“I have everything Mom. I went to Adele and pretended I wanted to work with her, the fool believed my good girl act. I was able to get the info you wanted about her son.”“Smart girl! I knew I could rely on you. I have been gathering some information too and now have an idea of his routine.”“But why go through this stress, Mom? Can't we go straight to Adele?”“We can but it’s more difficult. Using her son to get to her is easier.”‘Okay, you said Dad is not to know about it?”“Not yet, till I'm sure he can be of hel

It was past dinner time when Karen came home.“You are late for dinner.” Her dad said.“Yeah I went for a walk. I have thought about what you said and you are right, Adele heading the company isn’t so bad. I want to work with her.”“I am glad you see things my way. I will call her tomorrow and tell her you are coming over.”“I hope we will be able to mend out relationship.” Karen smiled falsely.The next afternoon she walked into Adele’s office.“Dad told me you would be coming.” Adele said.“Yeah. I need a job. Sitting around waiting to hear from mom is driving me crazy.”“I am sorry about what happened. Chris has promised to help if she gives herself up.”“Dad told me. We are grateful. And I am sorry for all the awful stuff I did and said.” Karen said sounding remorseful.“Let’s move past that. I have a job for you in the media department, would you like that?”“Sure. I would love it.”“Okay, you can start tomorrow.”“How about you tell me a little about the job.” Karen said.“Sure.
