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

Another Chance At Love Chapter 28
Adele’s Pov It was my wedding day. I was in my bedroom with a professional makeup artist and hairstylist, both of whom were getting me ready to walk down the aisle. “You look really amazing!” The makeup artist said after she was done. She held a mirror in front of me so I could confirm it. I nodded. “Yes.” I said quietly. “Now it is my turn.” The hairstylist, who had been patiently waiting for her to finish, said coming forward. She styled my hair then held the mirror in front of me again. I was stunned to see how different I looked. “I look really good. Thank you.” I said and meant it. Both women surveyed me proudly. They had done a great job, not surprising considering the huge sum they were being paid, thanks to Chris who had a spent a fortune on the wedding without blinking. Jay skipped into the room. He had been downstairs with Marie. He stopped when he saw me and a smile lit up his handsome face. “You look really beautiful mommy. Just like a princess.” He said

“No way!” Dan exclaimed. “I am not marrying that whore! What the hell are you thinking dad? A photo of her kissing some random asshole is all over social media and you expect me to just forget about it, act like nothing happened and marry her? No fucking way!” “I am not asking you to marry her son.” Chris Richards said patiently. “I am telling you to marry her!” “But why? Why are you so determine for me to marry into this family? And why her? She has a kid and is a whore. Why not her sister instead?” “I am not arguing with you Dan. Do as you are told and stop complaining.” “But Dan has a point Dad.” Zoey, who had been watching them argue, said. “This photo tells us the kind of person she is. Marrying her would be a mistake.” “I didn’t ask your opinion Zoey!” Chris snapped. “ And it was your party that caused all this.” “No it wasn’t. I only invited her over to be nice. I didn’t expect her to start acting a slut.” “Enough! Adele Turner is going to be my daughter in- law

Adele's Pov Chris Richards smiled at me. “Well since you live here I guess I came to see you.” He said. “Wait, how did you know where I live?” “You told us the name of the interior design company you work for at dinner the other day. So it wasn’t hard. I had a little trouble because I was looking for Adele Turner instead of Clair Taylor. You took your mom's name?” “Yes. Sorry if it made thing difficult.” “That’s okay.” He looked down the long corridor. “This is a very nice corridor but I would prefer to come in.” I flushed in embarrassment and stood aside to let him in. “Your son is asleep?” He asked looking round the untidy room. I nodded. “Sorry for the mess I was packing.” I guessed why he had come and decided to go straight to the point. “I know why you are here. It is because of the photo that’s all over the net. I am really sorry. I never meant to embarrass you and it isn’t what you think but it doesn’t matter. Your son deserves better. All I ask is

Adele’s PovJay talked excitedly as we headed to school that morning.It was his last day at the school and he was excited about it, and about a lot of things.I had sat him down the day we returned and explained to him that we would be moving to Fresno soon, and I was going to get married and he was going to have a new Dad.He had jumped for joy. I was glad he hadn’t remembered how hostile my family had been. Maybe in time my family would accept him. But I was more concerned with the Richards family. Chris and Zoey seemed nice, but what about Dan? Would he accept to be a father to Jay?“Mommy! Mommy,! Are you listening?” He asked impatiently.His small voice jolted me out of my thoughts.“Yeah honey?”“What is my new daddy like?” He asked for the hundredth time.“He is nice.” I stammered.“When can I meet him?”“When we get to Fresno.”I breathed a sigh of relief as we reached his school and I kissed him goodbye.I would be free from answering questions for a while.Since I wasn’t wo

Adele's Pov“You shouldn’t have accepted it!” Rachel said for the fiftieth time. Jay and I had gone to see her the day after we returned. She was eager to hear all the details, but I waited till we were alone in the kitchen before I told her about my engagement because I knew she would be pissed and would explode, not caring whether or not Jay was there. And she was pissed alright. “How could you even think of agreeing to such a stupid thing?” She demanded. “It was the only way to help my family.” I explained. “The family that threw you out and wanted nothing to do with you? The family that mocked and insulted you? Come on Adele! They are using you! Why can’t you see that?” “They need my help Rachel. Dad could go to jail.” I said softly. “So you are going to sacrifice your own happiness for them by marrying some guy you know nothing about? ” She asked. “Well." I paused thinking about what had happened between Dan and I in his study. I remembered the feel of his dick against m
