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

“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 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.”

Adele’s Pov. “What is wrong with you?” I asked shaking with fear. His cold, hate filled eyes scared me. “Shut up!” He leaned over me and reached for my dress. “Stop! Dan please!” I screamed. This wasn’t what I had expected on my honeymoon night. “Shut up you whore! You think you can make a fool of me again like last time? You have given it to enough guys. Now it’s my turn!” I cried and struggled while he tried to rip off my dress. From the crazy look in his eyes and the huge ball in his pants, I knew if I let him have his way I won’t walk for a week. We struggled like sworn enemies. He was determine, I was desperate. Looking at us no one would believe we were a newlywed couple on our honeymoon night. My struggle seemed to turn him on. Then he grabbed my throat with one hand and squeezed it until I became dizzy. If I was scared before I was now terrified. I didn’t know how far he would go, so I stopped struggling. He ripped my dress right in the middle. His eyes lit up e

Breakfast that morning was awkward. They sat across each other in the hotel restaurant, pretending to concentrate on their food as a way to avoid looking or talking to each other. Dan had spent all morning racking his brain, trying to remember what had happened last night. He had awaken from a deep sleep with a hangover and no memory of anything. When he’d knocked on the bathroom door he had assumed Adele was in there taking a shower, but when he had seen her torn dress, wild hair , bruised neck, and frightened eyes he knew he had done something wrong. This wasn’t the first time he had been drunk and violent. It had happened may times before. Thanks to the power of Chris Richards it had been hushed up. But he had never attacked a woman. Now he had attacked a woman who was now his wife and on their wedding day. He had a lot of questions but was scared to ask. He didn’t want to hear the answers. He had to get this problem under control. He had done it once he would do it again,

Adele’s pov Dad was standing in the living room staring out the window when I came to get the last bag. “That bitch needs to mind her own business.” He said angrily. I knew he was talking about Rachel. “She is. I am her business. She cares about me, unlike some people I know.” I said bitterly. He ignored the remark. “We need to talk.” He said. “If you are going to talk about my son then don’t! He isn’t going anywhere.” “Calm down. Okay fine. You and Dan can sort it out.” He lowered his voice. “ All I need from you right now is to make Dan really fall for you. I hope you made a good impression last night?” He smirked.. Last nights horror suddenly flashed before me and I felt sick and angry. I turned away from him. “I can’t do this with you right now Dad.” I said struggling to control my emotions. “You are right. Walls have ear. Just keep making him happy. We will talk soon.” He saw himself out. I tried to calm myself, then took the bag and headed upstairs. As I cl

Adele’s Pov I sank into an armchair and buried my face in my hands. How the hell had I ended up with this cold, cruel, son of a bitch? Well at least he hadn’t tried to force himself on me, yet. I sighed and went to the kitchen to see if they was any food. The fridge was stocked, thanks to Rachel. I made lunch and went to wake Jay. We ate lunch then explored the house. It had six bedrooms, a large living room, kitchen, library and study, a gym, and swimming pool. Jay loved the swimming pool, but I made him promise not to go near it till he had gotten swimming lessons. I also made a note to install a mini playground for him. Dinner was just the two of us. Dan was locked away in his room, I guessed he was drinking again. It scared me but I told myself he was just responding to the stress of the whole wedding. It wasn’t a habit, I tried to convince myself. “Why isn’t daddy eating with is?” Jay asked at dinner. “He is asleep. He’s so tired.” I said evasively. “Can I go se

“But why?” Jay asked. Dan decided it was time to serve him a cup of cold truth. “Like I said, I am not your dad.” He repeated. “and you are not my son.” Adele stared at him horrified, pleading with her eyes for him to be quiet. He ignored her and took an apple from the fruit bowl then walked out of the room. As he drove to work he went over his behavior and felt bad. He is only a kid, he thought, even if I don’t want him here I don’t have to be an asshole. He sighed. This whole thing won’t work. He couldn’t be father, it frightened him. He drove into the company carpark and took an elevator to his office. “Mr. Richards asked to see you sir.” His secretary told him as he walked to his office. His heart skipped. If his dad wanted to see him this early it couldn’t be good. First he went to his office to put down the files and laptop he was carrying, then went to see his father. His head throbbed from a hangover and he felt irritably as he entered his father’s hug

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.
