Another Chance At Love Chapter 44
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

Adele's Pov On the way home, I kept going over the conversation with my dad. What he was asking me to do was wrong in so many ways. Not only was it criminal, it could ruin the Richards and no matter what dad said Chris Richards didn’t deserve that. He had been very nice to Jay and I since we became a member of his family. Zoey too, even Dan had changed in the last twenty four hours. Did I really want to hurt these people? But on the other hand If Chris took full control of Dads company he would make sure it stopped existing. I knew enough of his business practices and his dislike for my dad to know what to expect. I was so distracted the cab driver and Jay had to raise thier voices to tell me we had arrived. “Mommy are you okay?” Jay asked looking into my worried face. “I am fine honey.” Dan was sitting besides the pool, wearing only a pair of swimming trunks. At the sight of him all my worries suddenly vanished. “Hey, how did it go with your dad?” He asked. I tri

Adele's Pov At breakfast Jay talked of nothing else except yesterday’s swimming lesson. I smiled as I watched him. I couldn’t remember the last time he had been this happy or excited. “I am happy you enjoyed it honey.” I said when he stopped to drink his juice. “I did and Mr. Dan has promised to teach me every weekend until I learn how to swim.” “That is really nice of him.” I said. He nodded. “He is nice. I really like him. I am happy you married him.” “Married who?” Dan asked coming into the dining room. “You,” Jay said before I could stop him. “I am happy my mom married you. I like you.” Dan looked shocked he glanced at me. I was shocked too and embarrassed. Kids never hold back. I thought. “You like me?” He asked Jay as if he wasn’t quite sure he’d heard right. Jay nodded and smiled. “You are a good daddy.” For a second Dan looked as if my son had said something unbelievable, then he smiled a little. “Thanks. I like you too.” He said awkwardly. He grabbe

Adele’s Pov He stared at me, confused by the fierce tone of my voice. “What do you mean?” He asked. “I am not going to do anything.” “So what do you mean by making my dad lose his company.” “I never said that. What I said was he won’t have much of a company left, if he doesn’t change the way he does business.” “What do you mean?” I frowned. “He dosen’t take advice, acts like he knows it all. You would think he would learn from his mistakes but no way. He has been talking of selling shares to Owens Group, which I know is a bad idea.” I felt myself pale a little. “Owens Group?” I asked. “Yes. He wants them to buy shares but I said no. I don’t trust Jeff Owens. Your dad is mad about it but I don’t care. I am trying to save him from himself, otherwise he won’t have a company left.” Chris glanced at me curiously. “Is everything okay?” I bit my lips in embarrassment, angry with myself for my silly outburst. I was acting like someone with a guilty conscience. I had to be

Dan put his cell on the table. Adele had sounded surprised that he had answered the phone. He had been surprised too. Only a couple of weeks ago he hadn’t wanted anything to do with her or her son. But she had changed everything that night, when he’d fallen asleep on her lap. It had meant a lot to him that she had stayed with him. When he had carried her room he’d fought the urge to get into bed with her. And the next morning when he had seen her at the breakfast table, looking so sweet and sexy he had fallen madly in love with her. And there was Jay, the kid was smart and he couldn’t help liking him. He smiled remembering their swim lesson yesterday and how they had both enjoyed it. He had been terrified by the thought of having a family, but now he had one, he found it wasn’t so bad. Karen called him again. He cursed in annoyance. She had been calling since Saturday and he had tried to ignore her but the calls were irritating. He had told her from the beginning that th

“You would? Why?” He asked startled. “Because I really like you, even though you are a nasty jerk sometimes,” she smiled. “But deep down you are a great guy. I know that. I’ve known that right front the first day I met you.” He looked at her. Trying to see any sign that she was lying, but decided she was being honest. He was right and Zoey had been wrong. “Why are you asking me this?” She asked. “Nothing, I just wanted to know.” He said quietly. “Would you have married me?” She asked. “I would.” They continued to stare at each other. They both had so many questions they wanted to ask, but they didn’t want to risk ruining the moment by saying something that would upset the other, so they kept silent. “It is getting late” He said suddenly standing up. “We should get some sleep.” “You are right. Good night. ” Adele tried to walk past him but he gently grabbed her arm. She held her breath as he turned her around to look at him. He pulled her closer and his mouth foun

“What are you talking about?” He frowned. “Adele came to see dad and told him she felt the deal our dads had come up with was a bad one. She was angry that your dad had a huge control of the company, so she told dad that she had a plan to get it back.” “What plan?” Dan asked coldly. “She wants to slime her way into RICH INTERNATIONAL and get information that could ruin the company, then work with another company and take it over.” “No. Adele couldn’t plan such a thing.” “Then how do you explain the company she wants to work with is Owens Group, owned by her ex’s dad?” Dan felt color drain from his face. But he refused to believe it. “There must be a mistake.” He insisted. “ Adele won’t do that, what is she hoping to gain?” “Money and power. That is all she cares about. But Dad was against it. He told her Chris was his best friend and he wasn’t going to agree to such an awful plan. He has warned her not to do it. But she is such a greedy bitch she won’t listen.” Dan s

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.
