Another Chance At Love Chapter 38
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,

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, willingl

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

Adele's Pov I stared at my dad in shock, not wanting to believe what I was hearing. “Listen carefully.” He said. “There is a company interested in working with me to take that bastard down. All I need you to do is to get Dan to employ you in the financial department and I will tell you what kind of information I will be needing. Once you have gotten it we can go ahead and launch a hostile takeover. I will get my company back fully, and my ally will get RICH INTERNATIONAL.” He told me the details of his plan. The more he talked,the lower my heart sank until I was afraid it would drop out of my feet. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I knew my dad didn’t really like Chris buying a big part of his company, and he was willing to do a couple of bad things to get it back, but I never imagined he would do something criminal, and worse still involve me in it and risk me going to jail. Did he hate Chris so much or love me so little? “So do you understand?” He asked when he was

“Can this wardrobe take all our clothes?” Adele asked. “I doubt it.” “In that case we will put mine in first then yours, if it can’t take it we will hang yours on the window.” Dan teased. She playfully punched him in the chest and he laughed. It was a hot Saturday afternoon and she and Dan were moving their things into their common bedroom. Jay was assisting, although he was getting in the way. As Adele walked back to her room to get more of her clothes her phone rang. “Hey Zoey,” she answered. “Hi Adele, please we need you to come in and sign a document.” “I can’t Zoey Dan and I are really busy. Can’t it wait till Monday?” “It can’t. If it could I won’t bother you, but it is important for the TGT deal. Please, you won’t spend more than a couple of minutes.” Adele sighed. She knew how important the deal was. “Okay. I will be there in a couple of minutes.” She said. She went to join Dan and Jay in the bedroom. “I have to run to the office. I will be back in no t

“Stop being crazy Zoey!” Dan snapped. “How can you think such a thing?” “What else do you want me to think? She is with him all the time. She was deliberately working late beside him, and how do you explain what happened at the birthday party?” “She went to get balloons.” Dan said weakly. “In Dad’s bedroom? Earlier when she asked me where he was I told her he was in his room dressing for the party. And we didn’t need balloons, we had enough downstairs, if she really wanted more why not ask me or you to get them? And I saw her when she went upstairs, she was acting like she was afraid of being caught. Besides, when you met her was she holding balloons?” Dan had thought all this too and had been frightened by the obvious answer. Something was going on between his wife and his dad. No! He was being crazy and so was Zoey. Nothing was happening. His dad won’t do that neither would Adele. “You are wrong. Adele can’t be interested in him, he is way older than her.” “So? She was

Karen dialed Craig’s number for the fifth time and again it went to voicemail. Damn! She thought. It was two weeks since she and Craig had spoken. She hadn’t heard anything from him and Adele and Dan were still married. It seemed Craig was going to be as useless as his sister. Maybe it was time her mom got involved. As she stood up to go and join her in the living room, she saw her dad drive in. He jumped out of the car and hurried into the house. She frowned, wondering why he was so excited. It may have something to do with business and she wasn’t interested. Her only interest was getting Dan to herself. She stared at the swimming pool while she thought. No plan was working. When Lucy had come up with her plan to ruin Adele it looked like it would work. She had gotten pregnant and been kicked out of the house. Karen had hoped she would end up on the streets then kill herself or get killed, but no. Somehow she had pulled through. Then the stupid Chris had brought her back to

Even though Jack had told Adele not to tell Chris about seeing her dad and Vera together, she felt he had the right to know. So that afternoon while she waited for Dan so they could go to lunch, she went to Chris ‘office. To her surprise Vera was there. “Vera, meet Adele my daughter in law. Adele meet Vera a friend of mine. I think you saw her at the gala?” Chris introduced them. “Yes nice to meet you.” Adele said uncomfortably. “Me too and remember you at the gala. You looked really beautiful.” Vera smiled. “Okay I have work to do, I will see you later.” Chris told her. “Sure.” She said and walked out. “Adele, is everything okay?” Chris asked noticing her discomfort. “Yeah everything is fine. I just wanted to take to you about something.” “Go ahead.” “I know it is none of my business, but how well do you know Vera?” She asked. “Not so well. We have been seeing each other for about three months. Why do you ask?” She hesitated, wondering how to tell him without ex

“That was great, I know Jay really had a great time.” Dan said that night as they got ready for bed. “Thanks to you, Zoey, and Chris. I really appreciate it.” Adele smiled. “You both deserve it.” He kissed her and went to take a shower. While Adele waited she logged into social media. There were some messages from Jack. Hey Jack! Sorry for the silence. It’s okay. I am happy about it because it mean things are going okay for you. Lol. Even then I should chat you. I don’t want our friendship to be selfish. How are you doing? How are your kids? “Great. Really good. And you? How is your little guy? Exhausted. Lol. Today is his birthday. My father in-law gave him a blast. Lol! I am glad. It is great for a kid to celebrate such a special day with family and friends. Yeah but my family weren’t there. Dad isn’t speaking to me because I have refused to join him in his horrible plan. Ignore him, you are doing the right thing. But there is something bothering me Jack. S

She looked at him in surprise, not sure she had heard him well. “What did you say?” She asked. This was the first time he had said those words while sober, so she knew he meant them. “I love you.” He whispered softly into her ear. “I have loved you right from the first time I set eye on you in the mall.” “You didn’t show it then.” She teased, then gasped as he nibbled her ear. “I was fighting the feeling but I don’t want to fight anymore. I love you and I don’t want to hide it.” “I love you too.” She smiled. “And I will make sure nothing comes between us.” She kissed him and they fell onto the bed and continued making love. She woke up in his arms again and it felt like heaven. Things were finally going the way she had always dreamt of. She had a great job and family, except for her family who hated her. And she confirmed it that morning when she tried calling her dad to tell him of Jay’s birthday party, hoping he would attend. It was a waste of time. As soon as she be

Adele's Pov I was happy to be home early. The past two days I'd worked late had been annoying, I had missed spending time with Jay in the evenings. To me that was important. Dan came home just as dinner was ready. “Am I late?” He asked as he came in. “Just on time.” I smiled. “I am glad you came home early today. I was meaning to speak to Dad about it.” “The accounts department kept bringing work in just as I was about to go home. But thankfully they brought it much earlier today. But it wasn’t so bad, your dad was a big help. He walked me through everything.” We sat down to dinner and talked about Jay’s upcoming birthday party. “Will Grandpa Jason be there?” He asked. I looked uncomfortable. “I don’t think so honey. He is busy. But your Grandpa Chris will be there.” I said. “What about grandma and Aunt Karen?” “No they can’t make it.” I said gently. “But Uncle Craig and Aunt Zoey will be there right?” It was Dan’s turn to look uncomfortable. “Yeah they wi

She was still grinning when she got home. She met Craig in the dining room finishing dinner. “What are you looking so pleased about?” He asked suspiciously. “My new plan is working, thanks to you.” “How?” “You gave me the idea of using the information about dad and Adele to my advantage and I am.” She said joining him at the table. “Tell me more. I have a plan of my own, we might be able to work together.” “No. The last time I worked with someone it didn’t go very well. I work alone now.” “But I am on your side. I’m not like lazy Karen waiting for you to do everything. I can help.” “Fine. If they are sleeping together we have to catch them in the act. If they are not we have to encourage them. Either way if we get them to spend enough time with each other, something is going to start between them.” “I was thinking the same thing.” “So this evening I deliberately delayed giving Adele her departments financial report and sent her to Dad to explain something she didn’

“What he has always wanted. To help him plan a hostile takeover of RICH INTERNATIONAL.” Adele said. “I am guessing you said no. Which is what caused the argument, right?” “Yes.” She sighed. “So your Dad was behind it all along?” “Yeah. I have been hoping he would give it a rest but he isn’t giving up. He said a lot of hurtful things just now.” She said sadly. He pushed her hair back gently. “You are doing the right thing. He is lucky you haven’t reported him to the authorities.” Dan said. “He is just trying to get his company back. But he is going about it the wrong way.” “Well no one forced him to sell the shares. Don’t worry I will talk to my Dad about it. Maybe we can give him back more shares.” She smiled. “Thank you.” “Now forget him. By the way I spoke to my dad about Jay’s birthday, he wants us to have the party at the mansion. Would you like that?” “Sure that would be perfect. Thanks so much.” “He is happy to help. He also wants you to leave the plannin
