Another Chance At Love Chapter 127
Zoey sat at the dining table brooding over a cup of coffee. She was used to going to work every morning, being forced to stay at home was hell for her. She was really pissed and blamed Adele for her situation. Dad had humiliated her because of that rat. She won’t rest until Adele was disgraced and run out of town. Craig came in. He too was in a bad mood. He had spent all night thinking of was to reduce his spending. It made him mad to think he had to now manage money. He joined Zoey at the table and poured himself a cup of coffee. “What are you mad about?” She asked. “I have lost my job, I am the one who should be mad.” “The universe dosen’t revolve around you Zoey Richards.” Craig snapped. “You lost your job, too bad, the asshole froze my fucking credit card!” Her eyes widened. “He did? How? Why?” “Why do you think?” “How did he find out? I thought you were always careful.” She said mockingly. “Shut up!” He growled. “So how did it happen?” “He caught me on

“What are your plans for today?” Dan asked me as we walked to our cars. “The usual I guess. I am hoping to see my Dad and have a drink after work and talk about my mom. I can’t believe so much time has passed since she died.” I said sadly. “Would it be okay if I took you to dinner this evening and heard about your mother too?” Dan asked softly. “Yes. I will ask Brenda to watch Jay.” “Let’s meet here by closing time.” On my way to work I stopped by the cemetery to see my moms grave. There was a huge bouquet of roses on her grave, I knew they were from Chris. They were fresh and I guessed they had been put this morning. I put my own bouquet besides it and knelt beside her grave, remembering how months ago when I had wondered who was behind my troubles, and heard the name Karen whispered I had thought I was being ridiculous. But now I knew better. After staying for a few minutes I drove to work. “The guy representing the investors was here to see you.” My assistant said whe

Hal looked at her puzzled, then his eyes widened as he remembered who she was. The girl from six years ago who had been drugged by her friend, before he had taken her to the bedroom. He tried to pull himself together. “Ms. Richards,” he began, “I am Hal-” “I know who you are.” Adele said shaken. “You drugged and raped me six years ago.” Hal turned white. Fuck! He thought, he would have to play it cool. “Excuse me? I think you are making a mistake.” He said. “No I am not. At a party six years ago you drugged my drink, raped me and ran away. You thought you had gotten away with it but here you are. Thank goodness the statue of limitations hasn’t run out.” His eyes widened. “No there is a mistake! It wasn’t me!” “Tell that to the cops. You left me with something that would prove I am right.” She took out her cell to call security. Panicking, he turned to leave. “No matter where you run I will find you. All your information is with the company you work for. Once the co

Six years earlier. Craig sat in his room seething. Downstairs Dan, his dad, and his dad’s business partners were celebrating the conclusion of a major deal that golden boy Dan had made happen. Craig had listen to them shower praise on the asshole before storming upstairs. If he stayed a minute longer he would kill someone. Even though Dan had just joined the company he was already popular and well liked, while all his dad did was criticize Craig for dropping out of college. He had always hated Dan right from the minute he came to live with them. Dan was good looking and smart, so Chris liked him more than his own dumb, lazy kids. Craig had been happy to hear of the divorce and hoped the jerk and his aunt would finally fuck off. But to his shock, Chris adopted him. At first Craig tried to compete but he was too lazy, so instead he tried to make trouble for Dan when he could. But no matter what he did it never seemed to hurt Dan. His door opened and Zoey came in. “One more o

Dan was lying on the floor. Adele could hear his funny breathing from the door. She rushed to him. The housekeeper who had heard her scream came in to see what was happening.“Call an ambulance! Quickly!” Adele told her and began feeling for a pulse.She smelt alcohol in his breath and was scared he had been poisoned.The ambulance came and she rode with him to the hospital. While the doctors worked on him, she called Chris and told him what had happened.He was there in less than ten minutes. He found her pacing in the waiting room.“What happened? Where is he?” Chris asked panicking.“Inside. I found him unconscious on the floor.”“Do they have any idea what is wrong with him?”She shook her head. As if to answer his question the doctor walked up to them.He told them Dan had taken a sleeping medication and alcohol.“This particular drug shouldn’t be mixed with alcohol. Thank goodness you found him on time, it could have been really bad.” The doctor concluded.“Do you think he did

Dan woke up just before dawn with a splitting headache. He felt sick and again vowed never to drink again. As usual he couldn’t remember everything that had happened the day before, but he remembered enough to know he had behaved badly. Seeing the bruise on Adele’s face confirmed it. Feeling sick and ashamed of himself, he quietly climbed out of bed and dragged himself downstairs to make something that would help with the hangover.He sat on the sofa, fuming. So Zoey was behind everything, was she working alone? Or with Craig? He remembered how Zoey and Karen had tried to convince him Adele was sabotaging the company. Now he knew Zoey was the one doing it. Were she and Karen working together?Wait till Dad hears this, he thought. Then frowned as he remembered he had confronted his Dad yesterday. He couldn’t remember everything except that he had quit as co-CEO.He groaned. He would have to apologize. Damn Zoey! What was she hoping to gain by all this?He sat there till the sun cam

Adele's PovDan knew there was something wrong the minute he walked into my office. “Did you like the flowers?” He asked. I didn’t answer. I was staring into space. I didn’t even know he was there. “Hey, babe?” He said coming towards me. He rubbed my cheek gently and I jumped in surprise. “Hey easy, what is it?” He asked. I looked confused for a second, then forced a smile. “Hey,” I said. “What is it?” He asked alarmed by my tensed expression. “Nothing.” “There is something but you are hiding it. I thought we agreed no more secrets?” “Honestly I am fine. I am just so busy with work.” “Is that why you look tense and upset?” “Yes I am trying to come up with a design and I can’t.” I lied. “Don’t let it stress you okay?” He kissed me. “Take as long as you like. Did you meet the company rep Hal Daniels?” I almost jerked in shock hearings him mention the name. “Yes he just left.” “How did it go?” “Great.” I said quickly. “Are you sure you are okay?” He

Adele's Pov. I was still sitting in the hotel lobby, when Dan rushed in with Chris behind him. “Are you okay babe? Are you alright? What happened?” He asked anxiously. I had called him five minutes ago, as soon as I'd managed to pull myself together. I had almost fainted after seeing Hal on the bed, a bullet hole in his chest. My scream had attracted a passing housekeeper who rushed in, and when she saw the body, led me to the lobby, then called the cops. I was still shaking and scared as Dan hugged me. “I am fine. Really.” I said. “What where you doing here honey?” Dan asked. “Yeah, why are you here? What is going on?” Chris asked. I stared at them, tongue tied. I hadn’t thought about what I would say when this question was asked. “I found a dead body. Hal Daniel’s body in his hotel room.” I stammered. “Yeah but why were you there?” Chris asked. “He asked me to come and talk about the contract.” I said. “In his room?” Chris asked confused. “Yeah he said he

“Are you sure you want to come in today?” Dan asked Adele the next morning, as she stepped out of the shower. “I do. I have gotten over the shock of yesterday. I am fine.” He nodded but he wasn’t convinced. Everything wasn’t fine. In his office yesterday he had thought about Adele’s story and it didn’t make sense. If Hal wasn’t able to attend the meeting, why didn’t Adele let his company know? They could have sent someone else. Driving all the way to see him was suspicious, he remembered the way she had looked when he had come into her office, the afternoon she’d first met Hal. Dan had guessed something was wrong but she denied it. He was so worried that he went to meet his Dad. Chris was on the phone when he came in so he waited. “The news has already gone round about the murder.” Chris said when he hung up. “I’m going to make sure I keep Adele’s name out of it.” “Don’t you think it’s strange?” Dan asked. “No. It was a public place, and the victim works for a big compan
