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

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

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.
