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

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

Adele’s Pov What the hell! Why were they doing this to me? When Karen turned seventeen a couple of months ago we’d had a huge party. I had helped organize it and had been very happy for her, despite my efforts not being appreciated. So why couldn’t I have a party now I was twenty? Why had dad suddenly change his mind? I had a feeling Tina had something to do with it. She must have convinced him to change his mind after I had left for school. I felt tears sting my eyes. Why couldn’t Tina treat me like her daughter too? Why the hate? I sat down heavily on my bed. Tina hadn’t always been this way. Dad had met and married her three months after we had lost my mom to a car accident. I had been three years old then. Looking back now I suspect he and Tina may have been having an affair, although I had no proof. But if my suspicions were correct, it would be very heatless of him. Sleeping with another woman while he was married to my mom. At first Tina was an angel, or so I thoug

Adele’s Pov “You are not going to a party dressed like that are you?” Lucy asked as she let me into her house. “What is wrong with it?” I asked, looking at my blue blouse and miniskirt. “Everything is wrong with it. Come on let’s get you into something sexy. Today is your birthday. You need to look sexy.” She said and led me to her bedroom. “Where are your parents?” I asked as I noticed she was unusually loud and carefree. Usually she was always quiet and acting innocent when her strict parents were around. “Out to a party of their own. Here put this on.” She pulled a dress out of her wardrobe and handed it to me. I put it on. It was black, short and tight. “It is beautiful, but isn’t it too short?” I asked trying to pull the dress lower. “Nonsense! This is perfect for the party. You look hot girl! Even Harry won’t recognize you.” I laughed. “Right!” “When is he coming back to town?” She asked. “Next week. I am so horny I can hardly wait!” “Ma

Adele’s Pov I woke up the next morning with a headache. I groaned as I opened my eyes then shut them quickly. The sunlight streaming in hurt them. I was tired and sore, with no memory of what had happened the previous night. I tried to open them again and was able to keep them open. I looked round. I was in one of the bedrooms and I was alone. My heart skipped in fear. What had happened last night? I tried to remember. It was all a blank. But my underwear was missing and I was sore. I looked at the bed and the soiled sheets confirmed my fears. I’d had sex. I nearly passed out with fear. Sex with who? And where was the person now? Why would I do something so reckless? How could I have cheated on Harry? I was dying of shame. I looked around and found my panties on the floor besides the bed. I picked it up and shoved it into my handbag, then staggered out of the room and went to find Lucy. All the partygoers were sprawled everywhere, snoring drunkenly. I found her lying on th

“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

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 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 “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'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
