Adele’s Pov

Everyone 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.

    “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

    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

    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

    “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. They were s

    “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

    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

    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 “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.
