Another Chance At Love Chapter 16
Karen and Tina were sitting on the patio enjoying a orange juice and laughing at Adele. “Does that little slut really think she has a say about this marriage?” Tina laughed. “She is so irritating. I was hoping to see her really looking terrible but instead she is looking really good." Karen said jealousy. "She must have been selling herself for money. She is a slut after all, what did you expect?" " I don’t know why dad invited her over. He said she was dead to him so why did he go looking for her?” Karen complained. “Don’t worry honey your dad dosen’t care about her. She is just a tool we are using to get back our money your dad foolishly lost.” “But we don’t need her. Dan and I couldn’t get married.” “Agreed, but Chris insisted on him marrying Adele. So we have no choice. And we need Chris’ money.” “I still don’t understand why dad made such a foolish decision.” She grumbled. “It was stupid and it almost ruined us.” “It did ruin us. We were lucky Chris stepped

Adele's PovI returned to my room feeling hurt and humiliated. I should have known better than asking Karen for anything. I looked through my clothes and sighed. Most of my clothes were sweats, tshirts and jeans. Nothing good enough to wear to a first impression dinner and I didn't have enough money to buy something new. Asking my dad for the money was out of it. Rachel called me. I winced. I didn't want to tell her the truth, but I didn't want to lie either. "Hey Rachel." I said trying to sound normal. "Adele, how are you? How is it going?" "Well." I lied. "So your dad wanted you guys to make peace?" "Yes. We are talking. Everything is fine." "Are you sure you are okay?" "Yeah so is Jay. Thanks for asking." "Well your dad is a jerk but if he wants to guys to reconcile then I am happy." I bit my lower lip, feeling bad about lying to her. "Thanks again for calling Rachel, we will be home soon. Bye." I hung up before she asked more questions I had no answer fo

Adele's Pov“Hey! Why don’t you watch were you are going?” He said, his sexy dark eyes flashing angrily. “Me watch were I am going? That is rich coming from the guy with his face stuck in his phone.” I shot back also angry. He looked at me in surprise. Clearly he wasn’t used to being spoken to like that. “Hold on, are you talking to me?” He asked surprised. “Unless you have an invisible twin yes I am.” I said looking him in the eye. Even though I was angry I couldn’t help noticing how drop dead gorgeous he was with blue black hair, dark sexy green eyes and a strong jaw. All on a handsome face that could only belong to a mode. Wow! he was hot alright, and he also looked vaguely familiar. He wore a designer suit on his muscular, well sculptured body and for a crazy minute I wondered how he'd looked with no clothes on. Damn where had that thought come from? “You really don’t know who I am do you?” He said arrogantly. “Don’t bother telling me because I really do

Adele's PovI was nearing the exit door when I heard him call out to me. “You forgot your dress.” He said, raising the two shopping bags. Stupid me. I thought. I tuned to face him, my face red with embarrassment. “Look I am sorry. I shouldn’t have said all that.” He said gently and headed me the bags. “I paid for the dress and bought another for you.” He explained. I hadn’t expected that and was pleased and surprised. “Thank you. I didn’t expect you to pay double.” “It's okay. Now you can do me a favor to pay back.” Seriously? “What?” I asked impatiently. “I want to pick out a gift for my fiancée but I'm not sure what to get her. Can you help?” I didn’t know why I felt a little disappointed to hear the word fiancee. I glanced at the time. Still had enough time before I got back. “Sure, let’s go. What do you have in mind?” I asked. “Flashy jewelry. That is what most women want isn’t it?” “Not really. What most women really want is to get through t

Adele's Pov“You are Dan Richards?” I asked looking at Hot Guy opened mouthed. The it hit me and I mentally facepalmed. Dan Richards! Ofcourse. He was on the list of the youngest hottest company executives. I had been hearing and reading about him in the news, and I had seen his picture a few times and thought how goodlooking he was but he was way hotter in person. “You two know each other?” Karen asked suspiciously. “We met in the mall today.” Dan said briefly. I was still too stunned to say a word. “Good so no need for a lot of introductions since you have already met.” Dad said and introduced Dan to Karen and Tina. ““This is my daughter Zoey.” Chris said pointing to the young woman. She was in her late twenties, with brown hair and dark brown eyes. Her false smile made me uncomfortable. “Nice to meet you Adele.” She said. “Same here.” I replied. “You came to give a small business talk at our school. It was really educative.” Karen said told Dan. “I am

Adele's Pov “If you think Dan is going to marry you then you are an idiot! You saw the way he looked at you when he heard about your brat!” She yelled furiously. “Leave my son out of it!” “Why don’t you go back to whatever hellhole you crawled out from and let Dan find the woman he deserves!” “And that will be you?” I asked raising my eyebrows. “Yes. We had already arranged it before you decided to come slithering back to town you snake.” “Get over yourself! I never asked to come back, dad asked me to. This whole marriage thing is his idea not mine.” “And now you are not welcome here so leave you thieving bitch! Dan is mine!” “She is not going anywhere.” Dad said coming in with Tina. “She will stay and marry Dan.” “Dad!” Karen yelled. “You said I would marry him. You promised!” “Jason! You said Adele was to marry Chris. That is who she deserves. Dan is too good for her, Karen deserves him” Tina said as if I wasn’t standing there. “That was the plan but Ch

Adele PovI had to hold on to the banister to stop me from crashing down the stairs. Shaken, I turned to see Karen glaring at me."You went to see my boyfriend didn't you?" She barked bitterly."What is your problem?" I demanded. "Are you trying to kill me?""Yes. Hopefully I will succeed you slut! You think you can waltz in here and take what's mine!""I am not doing this with you Karen. If you have a problem speak to dad.""Don't tell me what to do you-""What the hell is going on?" Dad asked. We turned to see him standing at the foot of the stairs. "This isn't over bitch." Karen hissed at me and marched upstairs."What was that about?" Dad asked me."Nothing Dad." I said and headed to my room, shaking with the knowledge that Karen had tried to kill me. If I hadn't grabbed the banister I would have ended up at the bottom of the stairs with broken bones. I prayed I would survive the remaining few days before I went back to Palo Alto. **

Adele's Pov I let myself into the house as quietly as I could, from the quiet it appeared everyone was asleep. Whew! I wasn't in the mood for any drama from Karen. I headed for the stairs. "Adele!" I turned to see Dad frowning at me. “Hey Dad. I was at the Richards house. His sister invited me.” “I know. Come into my study we need to talk.” I obeyed wondering what we were going to talk about so late. Maybe he was going to tell me more about his plan. “Your sister has been giving me hell all evening." He began sitting behind his desk. "She somehow found out you went to see Dan." He sighed. “It is kind of my fault. I had promised she would marry Dan and now she is mad he is marrying you instead." “I am sorry about that. I am surprised myself, I thought I was to marry Chris.” “So did I. That was how Chris made it look like but he lied to me.” “Why would he do that?” “Because he is a ruthless, sneaky asshole.” He said bitterly. "He is up to something. I don't know wh

“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’

“What he has always wanted. To help him plan a hostile takeover of RICH INTERNATIONAL.” Adele said. “I am guessing you said no. Which is what caused the argument, right?” “Yes.” She sighed. “So your Dad was behind it all along?” “Yeah. I have been hoping he would give it a rest but he isn’t giving up. He said a lot of hurtful things just now.” She said sadly. He pushed her hair back gently. “You are doing the right thing. He is lucky you haven’t reported him to the authorities.” Dan said. “He is just trying to get his company back. But he is going about it the wrong way.” “Well no one forced him to sell the shares. Don’t worry I will talk to my Dad about it. Maybe we can give him back more shares.” She smiled. “Thank you.” “Now forget him. By the way I spoke to my dad about Jay’s birthday, he wants us to have the party at the mansion. Would you like that?” “Sure that would be perfect. Thanks so much.” “He is happy to help. He also wants you to leave the plannin
