Another Chance At Love Chapter 154
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

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

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

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

“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

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

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
