Another Chance At Love Chapter 37
Tina was eating popcorn in the living room and watching her favorite reality TV show when Karen came in. She quickly turned down the volume. “Well? How did it go?” She asked eagerly. “Where is Dad?” Karen asked. “In bed. Forget him tell me how it went.” “As planned. We spent the evening together. First we went to a restaurant to have dinner, then to a bar to have a few drinks.” “And?” “And then he had to go home to that bitch.” Karen frowned “You should have convinced him to go with you to a hotel as planned.” “I really tried mom. I even tried to seduce him in his office, but it didn’t work. He is afraid of his old man. Chris has threatened to disown him if he gets involved in any scandal.” “What about Adele? The shameless tramp had her pictures of her in a bikini kissing some guy all over the net. What does he say about that?” “Nothing. The whore isn’t a co-CEO I guess.” “You need to act fast. The earlier you get pregnant for him the quicker your chan

Adele’s Pov I lay awake for a good part of the night crying softly. How could Dan say all those mean things? That I had been sleeping around since I was thirteen? I had lost my virginity at twenty to Harry, my first and only boyfriend. I had given it to him because I loved him and hoped we would get married. So who was feeding Dan all these lies, or was he making them up to justify being an asshole towards me? Maybe, since he had boldly admitted he was having an affair, maybe slandering me was a way to justify it and ease his conscience. I wondered who the woman could be. An ex? Or someone he had met recently? Was she pretty? I shook my head, determine not to fall into that destructive self blame pattern. If he was cheating then there was something wrong with him not me. I sighed. This wasn’t the way I pictured my marriage would be. I really needed to talk to someone. I thought of Jack but it was late, I didn’t want to disturb him. I could talk to Rachel, she had asked me

Adele’s Pov I had no time to fall into depression. I picked up Jay and had to put on a happy face. I didn’t want him asking questions. Although my tensed expression would have given me away, but he was too excited about something to notice. And he didn’t waste any time telling me the reason for his excitement. “Mommy,” he said as we settled in the cab. “Our teacher said the 15th of this month is bring your dad to school day. We are supposed to bring our daddies to talk about their jobs.” I felt my heart sink. “That’s great honey.” I mumbled knowing what was coming next. “I want to ask Mr. Dan to come and be my daddy.” “No.” I said quickly. I saw I had startled him and softened my voice. “You can’t ask him sweetheart.” “Why?” “Because he is very busy. He won’t have time.” “Can”t he try? Everyone else is going to have their daddy there.” “No he can’t sweetheart. I am sorry.” “Let me ask him.” “No. There is no need. He won’t have the time. He is a business man

Dan sat in the living room sipping coffee. He had woken up slightly later than usual and wanted to be done and out of the house before Adele and her brat were awake. He licked his dry lips as he remembered last night. After all the things Karen had told him Adele had done as a teenager and how disgusting she was, he had swore not to look at, let alone touch her. He had told himself her touch would irritate him yet last night, as he watched her walk to close the window his eyes had refused to leave her well shaped ass. And when he’d held her hand and looked into her eyes after her little accident, he had felt nothing but desire for her. If she hadn’t spoken and brought back a memory he was trying desperately to forget he would have ripped off her flimsy night dress and fucked her right there. Damn! If he were the superstitious type he would have sworn she was a witch. How else could she make him hate yet want her so much? Even now as he remembered how she’d looked in her tiny, se

I stared at Dan and my son in shock. Was I dreaming or were they both laughing and talking? I bit my lip and felt pain. Nope, it was no dream. “Good morning mommy. Mr Dan is going to come to my school on daddy’s day.” Jay said proudly. “I gave him a business opp…opp..” “Opportunity.” Dan said holding back a laugh. Jay blushed. “ That word is so hard to say.” “Come on you will be late for school.” I stammered still very confused “If you are quick enough I can drop you off.” Dan said glancing at his watch. My jaw dropped. What? When did this good guy act start? “Yippee! Come on mom let’s hurry.” He said pulling me towards the stairs. “What is going on?” I asked Dan. “Why the sudden change?” His smile faded and he looked me up and down. “I see a business opportunity.” He said and turned to his coffee. Puzzled, I went to join my son. I got him ready and after breakfast Dan drove him to school. After they left I sat in the living room thinking about t

Dan grunted and tried to turn in his sleep. He knew immediately he wasn’t in his bed. He opened his eyes and closed them immediately, cursing softly as the living room light hurt his eyes. Where the fuck am I? He thought. He guessed he was lying on the couch, but his head was lying on something warm and soft and human? He managed to open his eyes, and forced himself to sit up. He was startled to see Adele sitting on the couch fast asleep. He realized he had been lying on her lap. He looked round the room, trying to remember what had happened. He saw the plate, coffee cup and bits of bread crumbs and it came back to him slowly, but it was still very vague Fuck! He wished he didn’t black out after drinking. He got to his feet and frowned at Adele, then sighed and tenderly lifted her in his arms. She didn’t stir as he carried her upstairs. He took her to her bedroom and lay her on the bed. Looking at her beautiful face, and sexy body beneath the night gown he was tempte

Karen came home in a very bad mood. “Honey what happened?” Her mom asked as she marched into the living room. “Why are you back so soon? I wasn’t expecting you till late or maybe tomorrow even.” Karen didn’t answer. She went to the fridge to get a bottle of water. She needed it to cool her temper. Then she came back and dropped into the chair next to her anxious mother. “What happened with Dan? Were you caught?” Tina asked. “No. He was a no show. Where is dad?” “He went to do something at the office. What do you mean?” “I mean he didn’t show up at the hotel.” She said irritably. “He cancelled at the last minute.” “Did he say why?” “No, but I can bet that bitch has something to do with it.” She said bitterly. She was furious that Adele had ruined a perfect plan, which had been to get Dan to the hotel and seduce him. Tina had given her sleeping pills to make the job easier in case Dan proved difficult. She had been determine Dan would sleep with Karen, willingly or unw

Adele’s Pov It was nearly 7pm before we came home. We’d had a really exciting day of building sand castles, sand ball fights, exploring, and finally dinner at a beach side restaurant. Dan carried Jay who had fallen asleep in the back seat. I wasn’t surprised, he had really worn himself out. “Let me take him upstairs.” He said. “Thanks.” I watched him go upstairs carrying my son. I smiled as I remembered how they had played in the sand like children. Looking at Dan as he and Jay threw little balls of sand at each other, I saw the real him and I liked what I saw. He was a natural dad and I wondered why he was scared to be himself. I went to the kitchen and made coffee, then brought two cups to the living room. I sank into a sofa. I felt a little sore from squatting to build sand castles, but it had been worth it. “He is really tired.” Dan said appearing behind me. “ He didn’t even stir as I took off his sneakers.” “He really loved it. This is the happiest he has ever

Adele's Pov Craig was waiting outside the café as I pulled up in front of it. It had taken me nearly half an hour to calm down and drive to meet him. “Are you okay?” He asked as I walked towards him. “No. You were right.” I said sadly. We entered the café and took a table. “I am sorry I was. But you shouldn’t be surprised. Dan is such a heartless jerk, sleeping with your sister is something he can do.” “Even though he was hurt when you and Candice did the same thing to him?” I asked raising my eyebrows at him. “It wasn’t the way you think. Candice was in love with me. We were dating but Dan loved her and refused to let go. He forced her to agree to a wedding. She only did it because she was scared of him. I am sure you have seen how he behaves like a violent animal. But she got tired of pretending and came to see me before the wedding. She asked me to help her talk to Dan, and tell him how she really felt. He happened to come over and saw us talking and got all worked

“I told you to leave it to me!” Chris said angrily. “I warned you not to go to see Karen. Why the fuck didn’t you listen? Now look at the mess you have caused. How the hell did you think it was a good idea to be sleeping with her when married to her sister!” “I am not sleeping with her. We aren’t even dating. I am just using her to get information on Adele’s plans.” He stammered. “Really? Where you getting information the night of the accident?” Chris asked mockingly. “I am sorry about that. I don’t know what came over me, but I swear I am not sleeping with Karen.” “Tell that to Adele.” Dan winced remembering the argument last night. Zoey came in. “What?” Chris asked her angrily. “I saw Adele hurrying out of here looking like the world was ending? What happened?” She asked. “Nothing. Everything is okay.” Her dad snapped. “You haven’t seen the news have you?” Dan asked. “What news?” He showed her. She read it and gasped. “What the fuck! Adele really leaked it! S
Another Chance At Love Chapter 91
Adele's Pov "Do you still say Karen is lying?” Dan continued, glaring at me. “Enough Dan.” Chris frowned, and turned to me. “Go on Adele, I am listening.” I couldn’t speak. I read the headline again. Owens Group were announcing the launch of their new design. It was the same design I had created. “I don’t know how they got this.” I said, still shocked. “Well we do. Karen already told us. You gave it to them just like you planned all along.” Dan said. “She is lying! But you are sleeping with her you jerk so you will believe anything.” I snapped. “What?” Chris frowned. “I caught them together. He was coming from a date with her when he had the accident. And to think I covered for him.” I said angrily. “Dan! Is that true?” Chris asked sharply. Dan looked embarrassed. “We are not sleeping together. I just wanted information, which we have. Now we know what Adele has been planning.” “I wasn’t planning anything I didn’t leak this.” I insisted. “Calm down Adele. Do

Knock! Knock! “Come in.” Chris said. He looked up as Dan walked in, then frowned. “What is up with you? Why the long face?” He asked. “Don’t tell me you and Adele are arguing again?” “Dad it’s worse than that.” Dan said sitting on the couch. He had decided to tell his Dad before seeing Karen instead of after. He still didn’t want to believe Adele was really working against them, the thought was killing him. He loved her and he couldn’t hide it anymore. “What now?” Chris asked sitting beside him. “I thought you guys were happy together?” “We were. I even bought her a car, but Dad she is planning to ruin the company. Karen was here yesterday-“ “Karen?” Chris asked rolling his eyes. “This is real Dad! She is going to sell our design to the competition.” He told Chris everything he’d been told. “She is the one planning it, not her dad. He is the one trying to stop her.” Chris snorted. “Yeah right!” “Karen has evidence Dad.” “Karen had evidence the last time and

Adele’s Pov I noticed Dan was quiet throughout dinner. I could tell something was on his mind. I didn’t ask him till I put Jay to bed. When I came down he was sitting on the couch. “What is up with you?” I asked sitting beside him. “You were quiet throughout dinner.” “Nothing. I am okay.” I smelt alcohol on his breath and tensed. “You are drinking? I thought you are trying to quit?” I said anxiously. “I just took a glass of wine.” He snapped. “If you are trying to quit them you shouldn’t be drinking any alcohol.” I said gently. “I am not a kid Adele, okay?” “Fine. How about we go and have am early night?” I said gently rubbing his neck. He got up. “I have work to do.” He said. “Leave it for tonight.” “I can’t. I have to protect the company from the people trying to ruin it.” He glared at me and walked out. I heard the study door slam shut. What was that about? I thought confused. One minute he was hot the next he was cold, would I ever understand Dan Ri

Dan tried to hide his surprise. “What the hell are you talking about?” He asked. “I am talking about the new design for the children’s clothing line you are launching soon. Adele came to see dad a couple of days ago and told him about it. She said she and some other designers were supposed to create a unique design. She plans to give it to Owens Group so their fashion division can launch it first.” “That is impossible. She doesn’t know which one will be chosen, even I don’t know.” “That is why she’s giving them all the designs.” “How would she get them?” “She plans to steal them.” Dad didn’t know what to say or believe. Everything Karen was telling him was information only Adele had. “I tried calling you to tell you but you blocked me. Coming here was the only option left.” “What did your dad say? Is he part of it?” He asked. “No. Dad didn’t think it a good idea and told her so, but she insisted she would do it. He thinks she is joking but I know she isn’t.” “But

Adele was smiling to herself when she got back to her office. Lunch with Chris had been great. She had enjoyed it so much, she hadn’t remembered to talk to him about her dad’s company. Another time, she decided. And she knew there would be another time, she meant what she said about taking lunch to him often. But lunch with Chris had also given her a feeling of déjà vu and she tried to remember why. She gave up and decided to have a final look at her design. She had finished it this morning and it was now ready for tomorrow. She opened her desk drawer where she kept her USB but couldn’t find it. Panicking, she looked again and relaxed. It was there, far inside. She couldn’t remember putting it that far back but she must have. Who else could it be? Leaving it here in the unlocked drawer was a reckless thing to do though, she thought, But she hadn’t expected she’d stay away as long as she had. Well no harm was done, by tomorrow it will be out of her hands. Zoey came in. “You a

“What are you doing here dad?” She asked surprised. “Looking for you, what else?” “Why?” “Why do you think? You have refused to answer my calls, or get in touch with me. I know you have information and I am her for it! You can’t avoid me any longer.” “Keep your voice down.” She said closing the door. “I don’t know what you are talking about. I don’t have anything yet.” “Do you think I am stupid? You expect me to believe all this time you don’t have anything?” “I don’t. If I did I would tell you. I am working in the designing department. What information could I have?” “What designs are they working on right now?” “Nothing yet.” She lied. “ So far everything is pretty slow. If I have something I will tell you.” He frowned at her. “You are coming from a meeting right now aren’t you? You must have heard something, no matter how little. Think.” He said. “Dad, it is a general meeting, where we mostly talk about how to be good workers, not about company secrets.” Ade
