Another Chance At Love Chapter 117
Dan saw his wife in his Dad’s arm and went crazy with anger. He fell like grabbing a chair and hitting his Dad over the head with it. But he controlled his anger and left. No need to make a scene inside here, he thought, he had seen all he needed to see to confirm that Zoey had been right, these two were sleeping together. They would go into one of the rooms for a quickie then come back acting like nothing happened. How long had it been going on? He thought furiously, how long had they been making a fool of him? If Zoey hadn’t tipped him off he would still be in the dark. He sat in his car, burning with anger. He would wait until he saw one of them come out then confront them in the street. He prayed it would be his dad so he could punch the bastard in his jaw. As for Adele, he was through with the whore. She was just like Candice, they were all the same, he thought bitterly. Zoey called him. “Zoey, you were right. The bastard is sleeping with Adele. How could he do that to me?”

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

Adele’s Pov I woke up the next morning with a headache. I groaned as I opened my eyes then shut them quickly. The sunlight streaming in hurt them. I was tired and sore, with no memory of what had happened the previous night. I tried to open them again and was able to keep them open. I looked round. I was in one of the bedrooms and I was alone. My heart skipped in fear. What had happened last night? I tried to remember. It was all a blank. But my underwear was missing and I was sore. I looked at the bed and the soiled sheets confirmed my fears. I’d had sex. I nearly passed out with fear. Sex with who? And where was the person now? Why would I do something so reckless? How could I have cheated on Harry? I was dying of shame. I looked around and found my panties on the floor besides the bed. I picked it up and shoved it into my handbag, then staggered out of the room and went to find Lucy. All the partygoers were sprawled everywhere, snoring drunkenly. I found her lying on th

“Can this wardrobe take all our clothes?” Adele asked. “I doubt it.” “In that case we will put mine in first then yours, if it can’t take it we will hang yours on the window.” Dan teased. She playfully punched him in the chest and he laughed. It was a hot Saturday afternoon and she and Dan were moving their things into their common bedroom. Jay was assisting, although he was getting in the way. As Adele walked back to her room to get more of her clothes her phone rang. “Hey Zoey,” she answered. “Hi Adele, please we need you to come in and sign a document.” “I can’t Zoey Dan and I are really busy. Can’t it wait till Monday?” “It can’t. If it could I won’t bother you, but it is important for the TGT deal. Please, you won’t spend more than a couple of minutes.” Adele sighed. She knew how important the deal was. “Okay. I will be there in a couple of minutes.” She said. She went to join Dan and Jay in the bedroom. “I have to run to the office. I will be back in no t

“Stop being crazy Zoey!” Dan snapped. “How can you think such a thing?” “What else do you want me to think? She is with him all the time. She was deliberately working late beside him, and how do you explain what happened at the birthday party?” “She went to get balloons.” Dan said weakly. “In Dad’s bedroom? Earlier when she asked me where he was I told her he was in his room dressing for the party. And we didn’t need balloons, we had enough downstairs, if she really wanted more why not ask me or you to get them? And I saw her when she went upstairs, she was acting like she was afraid of being caught. Besides, when you met her was she holding balloons?” Dan had thought all this too and had been frightened by the obvious answer. Something was going on between his wife and his dad. No! He was being crazy and so was Zoey. Nothing was happening. His dad won’t do that neither would Adele. “You are wrong. Adele can’t be interested in him, he is way older than her.” “So? She was

Karen dialed Craig’s number for the fifth time and again it went to voicemail. Damn! She thought. It was two weeks since she and Craig had spoken. She hadn’t heard anything from him and Adele and Dan were still married. It seemed Craig was going to be as useless as his sister. Maybe it was time her mom got involved. As she stood up to go and join her in the living room, she saw her dad drive in. He jumped out of the car and hurried into the house. She frowned, wondering why he was so excited. It may have something to do with business and she wasn’t interested. Her only interest was getting Dan to herself. She stared at the swimming pool while she thought. No plan was working. When Lucy had come up with her plan to ruin Adele it looked like it would work. She had gotten pregnant and been kicked out of the house. Karen had hoped she would end up on the streets then kill herself or get killed, but no. Somehow she had pulled through. Then the stupid Chris had brought her back to

Even though Jack had told Adele not to tell Chris about seeing her dad and Vera together, she felt he had the right to know. So that afternoon while she waited for Dan so they could go to lunch, she went to Chris ‘office. To her surprise Vera was there. “Vera, meet Adele my daughter in law. Adele meet Vera a friend of mine. I think you saw her at the gala?” Chris introduced them. “Yes nice to meet you.” Adele said uncomfortably. “Me too and remember you at the gala. You looked really beautiful.” Vera smiled. “Okay I have work to do, I will see you later.” Chris told her. “Sure.” She said and walked out. “Adele, is everything okay?” Chris asked noticing her discomfort. “Yeah everything is fine. I just wanted to take to you about something.” “Go ahead.” “I know it is none of my business, but how well do you know Vera?” She asked. “Not so well. We have been seeing each other for about three months. Why do you ask?” She hesitated, wondering how to tell him without ex

“That was great, I know Jay really had a great time.” Dan said that night as they got ready for bed. “Thanks to you, Zoey, and Chris. I really appreciate it.” Adele smiled. “You both deserve it.” He kissed her and went to take a shower. While Adele waited she logged into social media. There were some messages from Jack. Hey Jack! Sorry for the silence. It’s okay. I am happy about it because it mean things are going okay for you. Lol. Even then I should chat you. I don’t want our friendship to be selfish. How are you doing? How are your kids? “Great. Really good. And you? How is your little guy? Exhausted. Lol. Today is his birthday. My father in-law gave him a blast. Lol! I am glad. It is great for a kid to celebrate such a special day with family and friends. Yeah but my family weren’t there. Dad isn’t speaking to me because I have refused to join him in his horrible plan. Ignore him, you are doing the right thing. But there is something bothering me Jack. S

She looked at him in surprise, not sure she had heard him well. “What did you say?” She asked. This was the first time he had said those words while sober, so she knew he meant them. “I love you.” He whispered softly into her ear. “I have loved you right from the first time I set eye on you in the mall.” “You didn’t show it then.” She teased, then gasped as he nibbled her ear. “I was fighting the feeling but I don’t want to fight anymore. I love you and I don’t want to hide it.” “I love you too.” She smiled. “And I will make sure nothing comes between us.” She kissed him and they fell onto the bed and continued making love. She woke up in his arms again and it felt like heaven. Things were finally going the way she had always dreamt of. She had a great job and family, except for her family who hated her. And she confirmed it that morning when she tried calling her dad to tell him of Jay’s birthday party, hoping he would attend. It was a waste of time. As soon as she be

Adele's Pov I was happy to be home early. The past two days I'd worked late had been annoying, I had missed spending time with Jay in the evenings. To me that was important. Dan came home just as dinner was ready. “Am I late?” He asked as he came in. “Just on time.” I smiled. “I am glad you came home early today. I was meaning to speak to Dad about it.” “The accounts department kept bringing work in just as I was about to go home. But thankfully they brought it much earlier today. But it wasn’t so bad, your dad was a big help. He walked me through everything.” We sat down to dinner and talked about Jay’s upcoming birthday party. “Will Grandpa Jason be there?” He asked. I looked uncomfortable. “I don’t think so honey. He is busy. But your Grandpa Chris will be there.” I said. “What about grandma and Aunt Karen?” “No they can’t make it.” I said gently. “But Uncle Craig and Aunt Zoey will be there right?” It was Dan’s turn to look uncomfortable. “Yeah they wi

She was still grinning when she got home. She met Craig in the dining room finishing dinner. “What are you looking so pleased about?” He asked suspiciously. “My new plan is working, thanks to you.” “How?” “You gave me the idea of using the information about dad and Adele to my advantage and I am.” She said joining him at the table. “Tell me more. I have a plan of my own, we might be able to work together.” “No. The last time I worked with someone it didn’t go very well. I work alone now.” “But I am on your side. I’m not like lazy Karen waiting for you to do everything. I can help.” “Fine. If they are sleeping together we have to catch them in the act. If they are not we have to encourage them. Either way if we get them to spend enough time with each other, something is going to start between them.” “I was thinking the same thing.” “So this evening I deliberately delayed giving Adele her departments financial report and sent her to Dad to explain something she didn’
