Jason Turner’s eyes widened when Chris Richards walked into his office that afternoon.

“Chris, what are you doing here?” He asked.

“Nothing much just came to discuss a couple of things.” He grinned, sitting in the visitor's chair.

“Like what?”

“I am sure you heard Adele was taken in for questioning, why didn’t you come to see her?”

“I was busy.”

“Too busy to see your daughter?”

“I don’t see how it is your business.”

“Adele is part of my family, so yes, it is my business. Especially since you are mad at her for no good reason.”

“If you have only come to talk about Adele, then you should leave.”

“No, I didn't come to only talk about Adele. I came to take a look at one of my new offices.”

Jason looked confused. “What new office?”

“This one, of course. Your company is now mine. I have bought all your shares.”

Jason’s jaw dropped. “You are joking!”

“Nope. I am not.”

“You can't do that! We had a deal!”

    Adele stared at him. “Dad! What are you saying? Stop talking like that.” She said looking round. “I am serious. We need to kill Chris. That is the only way. And we need to do it now.” Adele just stared at him, too shocked to say anything. “We will think of a way to do it so it won't be obvious, maybe-“ “Stop, Dad! Enough! I don’t want to hear anymore. What is wrong with you? Is the company more important than your sense of right and wrong?” She asked angrily. “To hell with right and wrong! This is our company, Richards has stolen it from us and I will do everything to get it back.And you are going to help me. All this is your fault, so you must help me sort it out.” Adele stood up furiously, “I am going to pretend I didn’t hear you say any of this Dad. I know you don’t mean to it. You are just upset. My advice to you is to take a vacation and let me handle everything. I will try to get the company back, but we are not killing anyone.” “Listen to me-“ “No, you listen to

    Zoey’s eyes widened. “What are you talking about?” She asked. “Let me explain.” He said. “At the same time I told Hal to find a girl, Lucy and Karen were looking for a way to get Adele to sleep with a guy and loses her boyfriend, so Hal arranged everything. He brought Adele and Dan together but maybe because it was dark and they didn’t see each other, and probably didn’t meet earlier on so they don’t know what happened.” “I can’t believe this! So Hal threatened to tell Adele?” “Yes, I went to try and talk to him, then ended up threatening him in anger and a hotel worker heard. “ “You must keep it from Dad. If he knows you’ll be in big trouble.” “Yeah, I know. The cops are investigating and have some leads from the gun. They may know about Lucy and Karen’s role soon, and if they arrest them they may talk. Which is why I have to leave here. But fucking dad won’t give me any money.” Zoey looked worried. “What do you mean?” “They have an idea where the gun came from, but the

    Adele moaned softly as Dan ran his tongue from her neck to her stomach, then in-between her folds. She cried in pleasure as it settled on her hard, wet, clit and began licking it. “We shouldn’t be doing this.” She gasped, squirming on the couch. “Mmm..” Dan mumbled licking her walls and sticking his tongue in deeper. She clawed at the couch, trying to hold back her cries of pleasure as he replaced his tongue with his fingers. She went dizzy with excitement as he finger fucked her, inserting two , then three fingers. Just before she lost control he removed his fingers and she felt his hard dick inside her. “Shit!” She couldn’t stop that cry from escaping her as he fucked her hard and fast. The danger of getting caught increased the excitement. She put her shirt to her mouth to stifle her screams as she came. Dan came seconds after her, growling deeply. “We could lose our jobs over this.” Adele said panting softly as they lay recovering on the couch. “Over what?” Dan asked

    Adele’s Pov I ran out of the building and into my car. I was so shocked I was trembling. I buried my face in my hands, trying to control myself. I couldn’t believe what I’d just heard. Was Chris my father? No, there had to be some mistake; my mom would never have cheated on my dad, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized it was true. I remembered one incident that happened years ago. It was my tenth birthday, and Dad had gone away on a business meeting, and Tina had refused to throw a party for me, telling me that she was ill and wasn’t strong enough for the stress of organizing a party. I was sad most of the day when I thought of how I would be spending the rest of the day alone. As I left the school, a car pulled up in front of me. I was frightened and ready to run when I saw the driver. “Hi, Mr Richards,” I said shyly. “Adele. Are you on your way home? Hop in let me give you a lift.” He grinned. I knew Chris and my dad were friends, although he hardly came arou

    Dan came into the room. “What is going on?” “Dan, you are back early,” Adele said, embarrassed. “I came to see how you were doing. Just as well I did, so I could hear the secret you have been hiding from me.” “I wasn’t hiding it. I just found out yesterday and am still in shock,” Adele explained. “I was going to tell you this evening.” “She is right, Dan, she found out yesterday even though I have been telling Chris to tell you guys earlier.” “I knew something was up when Dad didn’t show up at the office this morning.” Dan said, sitting beside Adele. “well, you better tell me everything.” They heard a car pulling into their driveway. They recognized it as Chris' car. “Guess he is here to tell you himself,” Rachel said. Everyone tensed as Chris walked into the living room. “Before you guys say anything, let me say I am sorry, I know you are all mad at me.” “Yes, we are.” Rachel snapped. “Why didn’t you tell us, Dad?” He sat beside Rachel and sighed. “I didn’t want to upse

    Adele’s PovEveryone was quiet after Chris finished talking.“Does my- Jason know I am not his daughter?” I asked finally.“No,” Rachel said.“I would like to tell him, but not yet, not while he is going through so much,” I said softly.“I understand.” Chris nodded.“So now we all know the truth, what now? Does it change anything? Because it doesn't for me.” Dan said.“Me too. Adele has always been and is still my daughter.” Chris said.“And you, Adele? How are you feeling?” Rachel asked.“I honestly don’t know, it’s a lot to take in,” I said slowly. The truth was that I felt numb, the whole thing felt so unreal. One minute I was thinking of Chris Richards as my father in-law now I find out he is my father.“Take your time, babe, don’t rush it.” Dan kissed me and stood up. “I have to return to work, or do you want me to stay with you?”“No. Go to work, and I will be in tomorrow.”“I will go and pick up Jay,” Rachel said. “Give me a lift, Dan.”They walked out, leaving Chris and I.“A

    “No, you can't arrest me. I didn’t do anything wrong. You are making a mistake.” Zoey protested. “No, we are not. You were caught on camera getting the murder weapon from a storage unit.” The second detective told her as he put handcuffs on her wrist. “Dad, do something.” Chris ignored her. Dan and Adele just stared open-mouthed. She kept protesting as they led her away. “For heaven's sake, what is going on?” Adele asked. “I was about to ask the same thing. Is everyone in the city involved in Hal’s murder?” Dan asked sarcastically. “I was going to tell you guys everything this evening,” Chris said. “And I still am, but first, I have to go to the company. We need to find a way to deal with the press.” “Tell us what?” Dan asked. “Later.” “I will wait and see if there is any improvement from Craig before I head home,” Adele said. Dan nodded. He kissed her and followed his dad. As Adele waited she tried to get her thoughts in order. What the hell was going on? Why were Harry

    Dan carried her to their bedroom and gently put her on the bed. She opened her eyes some minutes later to see him looking down at her and stroking her hair. “Did I pass out?” She asked. “Yeah, and I can't blame you. The past twenty-four hours have been crazy. “I dreamt Chris was my real dad, and you were Jay's dad.” He laughed a little. “Sounds like a nightmare.” “So Jay is your son? That night it was you not Hal? I knew there was something familiar when we first had sex.” He laughed again. “Was there? Wow, all this time he was my son, and I kept acting like an asshole to him.” “You were good to him. You acted like an asshole to me.” “I am sorry about that, too. I know I have some serious apologizing to do, maybe I should start now.” He began kissing her. “Not now. Where is Rachel?” “Downstairs with my dad. They wanted to call a doctor but I managed to persuade them not to. Do you feel like joining them?” “Yes.” They went downstairs, where they met Chris and Rachel in the li

    For the next week, Ella tried to see Chris, but he refused to see her. A day before Zoey’s trial, he went home and found her waiting in the driveway.“Don’t you give up?” He asked angrily.“No. Not when my kids are involved.”“Stop pretending. You don’t care about your kids; you just want to use them for your selfish interest, and it won’t work.”She laughed mockingly. “You have the nerve to call me selfish when you are such a selfish asshole. All you care for is yourself and your stupid company.”“I don’t have time for this. What do you want?”“Zoey’s trial is tomorrow, what are you doing to help her?”“She won’t go to jail if that is what you are asking. Happy?”“And Craig?”“He is recovering, what else can I do?”“When Zoey gets out, I want you to give her a higher position in the company; it will make her feel better,” Ella said.Chris stared at her. “I am getting Zoey released, and it ends there. She is not coming back to my house or company. She can go and live with you.”“No, s

    Adele's Pov By the time we got to the office the hunt for Tina was already in the news. “Poor Dad, this is so embarrassing.” I said as we took the elevator to my office. “How do you think she got away so easily? She must have had help.” Dan said. “Or she may have suspected the cops would one day come for her and was already prepared. I can’t believe she would try to frame me for a murder she committed.” I said shaking my head in amazement. “She is insane. I’m glad trash like her took herself.” He kissed me. “We better go break the news to dad.” He said. But Chris had already heard the news. He listened with a smile as I told him about Jason’s request. “So he wants my help? After trying to ruin me.” Chris said. “Please Dad, he really needs the help. Do it for Adele.” Dan said. Chris shrugged. “There isn’t much I can do. I don’t make the law or control those that do.” “But you can help. You know people. Talk to them and help her get a plea deal.” Dan said. “Maybe, b

    “What do you mean gone?” He asked alarmed. “On our way to the station she asked me to buy her a cup of coffee and sandwich. I left the car and went to a café, by the time I came out. She was gone.” “I hope you didn’t plan this with her? Because that would make you an accomplice.” Jason warned. “I didn’t! I swear!” “She is acting crazy! She can’t get far, she’ll be caught.” “What do we do?” Before he could answer, the detectives arrived with a warrant. “I’m calling Adele, maybe she can help.” Jason said. “What? No. You can’t let Adele know what is going on.” “She will very soon when the cops declare your mom wanted.” ** Adele was in a meeting when her dad called. She tried not to groan. Not again! She thought. The meeting with her dad the day before hadn’t gone well. Her dad had told her that now Chris was facing personal issues, and he and Owens weren’t on good terms because of what happened between their kids, this was the time to strike. He had tried to persuade Adele

    “What? Why? What has my mom got to do with it?” Karen asked. “We will like to talk to her, it’s urgent.” “Well you will have to wait. She went shopping but will soon be back. Excuse me I need to get some more ice.” She said. “Are you alright?” The woman asked looking at her eye. “Yes. I am fine.” Karen went into the kitchen. Where Marie was washing dishes. She slipped into the laundry room and called Tina. “Mom, the cops are here. They want to talk to you about Hal's murder.” Tina gasped. “Mom? Are you okay?” “Listen honey, let me know when they leave, okay?” “Sure. What’s going on mom?” Tina had already hung up. When she came back to the kitchen Marie was frowning at her. “What is going on Karen?” She asked. “I don’t know.” She went to join the detectives in the living room. “Can I get you guys anything?” They shook their heads. “Wouldn’t you tell me why you want to see my mom?” Karen asked nervously. “We will like to speak to her.” The detective said.

    On the day of the murder, Lucy decided she would have to do something. She couldn’t leave it to Craig, she had a lot to lose if Hal was to open his big mouth to Adele. She got dressed that morning and went to her wardrobe to get the gold necklace she had looked at days before. It was a birthday present and was worth a lot. She would give it to Hal and tell him to get out of town. She took a cab to the hotel and went straight to Hal’s room. Craig had already mentioned which room it was so it was easy for her to find it without asking questions. She knocked on the door. Hal opened the door he looked sleepy but the looks disappeared when he saw her. “What are you doing here?” He asked. “I came to see you, can I come in?” He reluctantly let her in. “I am not in the mood for talking if that’s why you are here.” He said. “I have told Craig what I need is money, or I am going to Adele.” “You will get in trouble too.” She reminded him. “Not if I cut a deal.” “Relax, no need for tha

    You bitch!” Lucy said attacking her. “Get off me!” Karen yelled. Lucy grabbed her hair, dragged her to the floor and began just kicking her. The commotion attracted Marie, who rushed in to separate them. “Stop it the both of you! What is going on?” Marie asked. “This crazy person is attacking me!” Karen said. “This bitch has ruined everything! Harry is in jail because of your lies! You won’t get away with this!” Lucy yelled. “I only told him the truth about you! Or are you going to pretend you weren’t sleeping with Craig you slut!” Lucy tried to attack her again and Marie struggled to hold her back. “Stop! Both of you stop!” “What the hell is going on here!” Tina asked coming in. “Call the cops mom! This psycho is attacking me!” “This bitch has ruined my life!” “Enough! Lucy get out of my house! Now! Or I will call the cops!” Tina yelled. Lucy glared at Tina, then Karen. “You will pay for this, if it’s the last thing I do.” She promised. “Whatever you think you are going
