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 cured 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 their r

    “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

    Karen entered the house, smiling in triumph. “Mom! Are you home?” She called. Tina came into the hallway. “You dad is home for lunch. Let’s go outside.” She said quietly. “Marie! Bring us orange juice.” "Yes Ms. Turner." They went to sit on the deck chairs by the pool. “So how did it go?” Tina asked after Marie had served the juice and gone away. “Better than I ever thought.” Karen laughed. She sipped her juice and continued. “At first when I told him he refused to believe it. He kept saying no Adele couldn’t do such a thing. It seems he was already falling for the slut. I could see it the way he talked about her.” “I told you that would happen. That is why we had to move quickly.” “Well when I started talking of having evidence he changed his mind. It was so easy.” “Are you sure Zoey planted the evidence?” “She did. I called her this morning to make sure. Your plan was great mom. You really thought it through.” “Well I can’t take all the credit. It w

    Adele’s Pov I put the roses in a jar on the bar. l loved roses, did Dan know, or was it a coincidence? I wondered if he had bothered researching about me the way I had researched about him. I smiled thinking how everything was getting better and better. This was the kind of marriage I had dreamt about. I was slowly warming the ice around Dan’s heart, very soon it would melt. And once it did, he could openly admit to loving me. I knew he did. The night he had fallen asleep on my lap he had drunkenly admitted it. And that night I had the feeling someone was touching me, but I had woken up suddenly to find myself alone in my room, feeling wet and horny. Had Dan done something to my body after he had carried me to bed? I found myself wishing he had. I remembered last night, regretting that Jay had come to spoil it. But it didn’t matter, we would continue this evening. He had said he would be home for dinner, so there was hope. I was getting wet just thinking about it. I snap

Instead he looked embarrassed. “You are fighting.” Jay said softly. “No sweetheart.” I ran to his side. “We aren’t fighting. I am sorry if we woke you up. Let’s get you to bed.” I picked lifted Jay in my arms and carried him upstairs. My arms hurt badly but I ignored the pain. I carried him to his room and put him to bed. “Why were you fighting?” He asked softly. “We weren’t. We were just talking loudly. I am sorry, we will be quiet next time.” I promised. I could see he didn’t believe me but he was silent as I tucked him in, and kissed him goodnight. “Would you check under the bed to make sure nothing is there?” He asked. I forced a smile. “Sure sweetie.” A sharp pain from my arm stung my body as I knelt to look under the bed. “See? Nothing there.” I smiled. I kept the smile until I had closed the door to my room, then I leaned against it and began crying. What was wrong w

    Adele moved back as if he’d punched her. “What do you mean? You can’t do that!” She exclaimed. “Yes I can and I will.” He grinned evilly and poured another drink. “This has nothing to do with that. Jay is look forward to you being there “ “Too bad, because I am not coming.” “You promised him! You can’t go back on it. Where is your sense of honor?” He laughed bitterly. “Really? That is rich coming from a backstabbing bitch like you. Do you even know the meaning of honor you traitor!” “What are you talking about? Wait, this is about the pool party isn’t it? For Pete sake! I didn’t betray you! Get over it already and stop being a dick!” She said in frustration. He stared at her his blood boiling. So this devious snake was actually pretending not to know what he was talking about. The hell he was going to go to her son’s fucking school. “I am not going.” He said firmly and drained his glass. Adele watched him helplessly. Jay would be devastated if Dan didn’t go. And

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 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

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

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
