Another Chance At Love Chapter 55
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

Dan’s jaw dropped. “What did you say?” Jay repeated it. Dan couldn’t believe his ears. He’d had the exact same dream as a kid. He couldn’t help thinking how alike he and Jay were. “Please come and chase it away.” Jay begged. “Alright.” He took his hand and they went upstairs. Dan went straight to look under the bed. “Nothing is here. Come and take a look yourself.” Jay looked under the bed too. “He was there, but he has run away.” Jay insisted. Dan sat on the bed and told Jay to join him. “Listen there is no monster.” He began. “You had a nightmare that seems real but it isn’t, okay?” Jay looked confused. “If it is a dream, why does it look so real?” He asked. “Nightmares are like that. I know because I used to have them too. But it is nothing to worry about because like I said, it isn’t real.” Jay nodded and got into bed and Dan tucked him in. “Are you still coming to my school tomorrow?” He asked suddenly. Dan froze, he stared into Jay’s serious blu

Adele’s Pov “You are his brother?” I asked, trying to hide my surprise. “Yep and you are his wife. You are a lot sexier in real life.” He said eying my breasts. “Thank you.” I said uncomfortably. “Your pictures don’t do you justice at all.” He said. “Can I come in?” “Yeah, sure.” I stood back to let him in. I was still trying to hide my surprise. I had never met Craig, and unlike Dan, his face wasn’t all over the social media. But I had imagined he looked like Dan. He didn’t. He wasn’t as tall as Dan or as well built. He was average height, compact, with brown hair and eyes like Zoey’s. His arms were covered in tattoos. “My little bro is at work right?” He asked sitting on the sofa. “Yeah, I mean no. He took my son to school. What can I get you?” I asked. “Juice will be fine. I don’t drink alcohol so early. Unlike my brother. Is he still drinking or have you gotten him to stop?” He smirked. I stammered, not sure what to say. “What happened to your arm?” He as

Karen was frowning as she hung up. Damn! So Dan was still bonding with Adele’s son. Why? He had been certain he wanted nothing to do with Adele or her son. What she was expecting to hear was they were getting a divorce. Yesterday, when Adele had called complaining about Dan’s abusive behavior she had been pleased. Things were going just the way she wanted. But from what Adele was now saying, things weren’t as terrible as she had hoped. She sighed in frustration. This was taking longer than shed thought. Something had to be done to speed it up. Her cell rang. She frowned at the strange number. “Hello?” She said. “Miss. Richards,” it was their housekeeper. “There is someone waiting in the living room to see you.” “Who?” “She said she was sent by your mom.” “What does she want? Put her on the phone.” “She won’t answer. She insists on seeing you.” “What the hell- never mind. Tell her I will be on my way.” She picked up her purse and ran out. A co worker tried to r

They turned to see Chris standing at the door. “I was told both of you weren’t in the office, what is going on?” He asked looking at his children. “Dan is throwing a fit.” Zoey said dropping into a chair. “Tell Craig to stay away from Adele!” Dan said. “Hi Dad.” Craig smirked. Chris' eyes widened. “Craig! What the hell are you doing here you trouble maker?” “Dad! That’s not fair! Is this how to welcome back a son you haven’t seen in months?” “I don’t want to see you. What mischief are you here to cause?” “Dad! Craig came back because he misses us.” Zoey began. “I don’t know why-“ “I didn’t ask you Zoey!” Her dad snapped. “He went to see Adele! Tell him to keep away from her Dad.” Dan insisted. “I came into town and decided to say hi to my brother. He wasn’t home but I met his wife. It was our first meeting so I decided to get to know her while waiting for him. What did I do wrong?” “You wanted to see your brother on a working day at a working hour, and went to

Adele’s Pov I went to my room and sank on my bed, and sighed heavily. Craig’s words kept ringing in my ears. I would keep calm first, until I had heard more from Zoey. But right now I needed to talk to someone. I pulled out my laptop and breathed a sigh of relief seeing Jack was online. Hey Jack, how are you doing? Not good honey. The only thing keeping me sane is looking forward to chatting with you as always. Why? What is it? My co workers are driving me insane. Ungrateful jerks! Nothing I do satisfies them. Sometimes I feel like giving up. Please don’t. People won’t always appreciate your effort, but I do. You are the best thing that ever happened to me and I appreciate you. I really do. That means a lot to me honey, it really does. Awwn. Lol So tell me about you. Is everything still going good in your marriage? Not really Jack. That is why I really need to talk to you. Everything is going downhill. Dan has changed. He hates me. For the last couple of days

Dan woke up with a hangover that threatened to kill him. He tried to open his eyes but the sunlight coming in hurt so badly that he gave up. He hadn’t eaten much last night and had been drinking all evening until late into the night. He remembered being on the sofa thinking of all the past hurt Craig had caused him. Then after that nothing. He couldn’t even remember how he’d gotten to bed. He really had to get this under control. He tried to open his eyes again but couldn’t. Dammit! This was all Craig’s fault the bastard was driving him to drink. But even as he cursed Craig he knew deep down it was his demons that were the problem. He had to overcome them. He counted to five and tried again slowly. The sunlight hurt but not so much. He looked round and frowned. This wasn’t his bedroom. His eyes fell on the half open wardrobe and he saw Adele’s clothes. Hell! He was on Adele’s bedroom! How had he gotten here? And where was she? As if to answer his question the door opened a

Dan stared after Adele. Her behavior worried him. What had he done while drunk? Had he hurt her? He cursed. He really needed to get this thing under control. He thought again. He felt better after he ate breakfast and took a shower. Then he got dressed. Adele and Jay had left by the time he came downstairs. As he drove to work he thought about how Adele had looked at him when she’d brought him breakfast. She really seemed concerned about him. But if she was why would she plotting to steal his family company? Maybe her concern was all an act. If so then she was a very good actress. He sighed. Everything was trying to drive him crazy. A wife he loved and hated, an asshole brother, a tyrant dad and a conniving sister. No wonder he drank. He pulled into the carpark. As he got out of the car he heard footsteps behind him. He turned to see Karen. “What the hell are you doing here? Supposing my dad sees you?” He asked irritated. “I won’t be here if you weren’t avoiding me. You ar

Another Chance At Love Chapter 93
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
