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 co

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 op

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. Y

Adele’s Pov I was just putting on my jewelry when I hear Dan’s impatient yell from the hallway. “Aren’t you done yet? We will be late.” He called. I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked good enough. I went to get Jay. I had told him to wait for me in his room. “You look really pretty mommy.” He said. “Thanks sweetie. You look good too.” I ran a comb through his hair and we went downstairs. Dan was pacing the living room impatiently. His eyes lit up when I came in. “You look good.” He said, looking me up and down. I knew the green spaghetti sleeved short dress I wore showed off my figure. “Thanks.” I said. His eyes lingered on my body and I felt myself blush, especially when I saw the effect it was having on his dick. “What about me?” Jay asked jumping on front of him. “How do I look?” “You look great.” Dan smiled. “You look good too.” Jay told him. “Thanks. Let’s go. We don’t want to be late.” He said. “My brother is going to try to be a je

Every jaw round the table, with the exception of Jay’s, dropped. Chris Richards does have a way of springing surprise. Adele thought. “What a minute dad, what did you say?” Zoey asked. “I said Adele should come and work with us.” “No.” Adele said quickly. “ I appreciate the offer but I am not experienced enough to work in a place as big as RICH INTERNATIONAL.” “Yes you are. What you don’t know Dan will happily teach you.” Chris said. “Dad, Adele can’t work for us, remember?” Dan said. Adele looked at him, wondering what he meant by that. “I am thinking the financial department would suit Adele.” Chris continued ignoring Dan. “What do you say Adele?” “No. Not finance.” Adele said panicking. “Why not? I can make you in charge of the finance department. You will have full access to the company finances and be able to work better.” He said. Dan and Zoey stared at him as if he had gone crazy. “Dad! What are you talking about! Adele can’t work at RICH INTE

Zoey stormed into her bedroom, cursing loudly and angrily. She didn’t care if her fucking dad heard. She felt like killing someone. She grabbed a flower vase from her dressing table and threw it across the room. It smashed against a wall. The books on her dressing table also went flying and many other things too. She really wished they were landing on Chris Richards head. Then she grabbed a pen from her table and began stabbing her pillow, imagining it to be Adele. She was angry and humiliated. That bitch Adele was going to come from no where and have a top position in her company, while she was a nobody in the same company. No! Never! Her dad had gone too far. She would get back at him and the bitch. She didn’t care what it took. Both of them would pay for her humiliation. When she was tired of destroying things she sat on her bed and buried her face in her hands. Her phone rang. She glanced at it and saw it was Karen calling. She ignored it. Craig came in. He whistled at the

Adele’s Pov We drove home in silence. I was still too shocked to say anything. I glanced at Dan, he was still wearing the same frown he’d worn when he had gotten into the car. From the frown and the time he had wasted, I guessed a huge argument had happened after Jay and I had left. I sighed. I still couldn’t believe I was going to be working at RICH INTERNATIONAL. And it had been so easy that I was a little uneasy. What was Chris up to? And why was he insisting I go to the financial department, the same department my dad wanted me to go to in the beginning. Was it a coincidence? I didn’t think so. Or had my dad persuaded him to do it? More likely. Well Dad was in for a huge let down. I had chosen a department where I couldn’t get him any information. I felt excited at my new position, and also a little scared. The Richards siblings weren’t happy about it, not even Zoey who I thought was my best friend. Would I survive surrounded by all that hostility? Jay was asle

They turned. Adele was standing at the door. “What do I have to be told?” She asked looking from Chris to Rachel. “That i got the DNA result changed to confuse the cops.” Chris said quickly. Adele knew instantly she was being lied to. “Is that so?” She asked. “Yeah,” Chris said, “well now you know I better get going. Bye.” “Are you going to tell me what that was really about?” Adele asked Rachel after Chris walked out. “Chris told you already.” “Rachel, what is going on?” “Nothing. Come on let's not keep Jay waiting.” Still frowning suspiciously, Adele followed her to the living room. ** Dan was getting back into his car when Chris pulled into the car park. “Dad! I've been to the house Zoey told me you were here; I'm just coming from your office. Your secretary said you hadn't come in yet.” “Yeah, I stopped at your house. I was about to call you. I wanted to see you.” They rode the elevator to his office. “What's going on with Craig? Why was he arrested for Hal's mur

Chris was still in his office trying to make sense of his discovery, when his thoughts where interrupted by his ringing cell phone. He frowned when he saw Zoey was the one calling. “Hello? Slow down Zoey I can’t understand you, Craig has what? Arrested? Why?” He sighed. “I am on my way.” He called his lawyer and asked him to go to the police station, then went to join them. He first spoke to the cops, before he was taking to see Craig. “Dad! Tell this your dumbass lawyer to get me the fuck out of here.” Craig said angrily. “I haven't done anything wrong.” The lawyer rolled his eyes. Chris asked to speak to Craig alone and the room was emptied. “Get me the fuck out of here dad! Now!” “The cops said you were seen a few times, going to Hal Daniel’s room.” Chris said ignoring him. “What is the big deal? He is my friend. We have known each other from college.” “Before or after you dropped out and started being a pain in my ass?” Chris snapped. “Dad!” “If he is your

“Dad, do you have something to do with this?” Dan asked Chris when the detective had left. “Me? Of course not.” Chris said. “Really? Because I noticed you didn't show any surprise when the result was read.” Rachel said suspiciously. “Because I knew in my heart Adele was innocent.” “Really? Or is it because you did something like forging the result.” “Stop it Rachel. I didn't do anything. I swear.” “But this doesn't make any sense.” Adele said confused, “Hal is Jay’s father. I am sure of it.” Chris shrugged. “Well maybe there was a mistake with the DNA. Anyway, forget it. You are off the hook. The cops can look elsewhere for their suspect.” He stood up. “I have to go, see you guys later and don't worry about anything, I have it handled.” “Sure you do,” Rachel sneered. Chris left grinning. “He changed the results,” Rachel said, “I know him too well.” “Why won’t he admit it?” Adele asked. “Because he wants to keep you in the dark. So you don't get into trouble if he gets caug

Zoey was on the phone as she entered the dining room. “-I am glad you are okay. Don’t worry Dad will make sure everything is okay…yeah, I read the news on the blog, don’t worry they can only talk, everything will be fine. Don’t mention it, take care.” She hung up giggling. Craig, who was at the dining table picking at his food. looked at her suspiciously. “What is going on?” He asked. “I read Adele was arrested, then I read she wasn’t but was only invite for questioning. What’s the truth?” “The first one. The second is Dad trying to do damage control.” She laughed sitting down. “Spill, what is going on?” He asked impatiently. “Adele was arrested for Hal Daniels murder.” “Why?” He asked alarmed. “The murder weapon was found hidden in her office.” “Shit! Seriously?” “Yeah. The cops want to run a DNA test on her kid. For some reason they think Hal is the dad, which may give a motive. Crazy right?” She noticed Craig looked scared. “What's wrong?” “Nothing.” “Don’t

Dan watched helplessly as Adele was taken away by the police. “What the hell is going on! A gun in the office?” Zoey asked shocked. Dan didn’t answer. He rushed out and almost ran to Chris’ office. Zoey was right behind him. Hee burst in, startling Chris. “Dad the cops have arrested Adele!” “When? Why” Chris asked standing up quickly. “Just now. They found a gun in her office! I know she is being framed. We have to call a lawyer!” “A gun?” “Yes. The one used to kill Hal Daniels. We have to do something!” Dan insisted. “Calm down, I’m on it now.” He called his lawyer and picked up his coat. “Let’s go, the lawyer will meet us there.” He told Dan. “I am coming too.” Zoey said. “No. It’s okay, you stay here.” Chris said. She watched them walk into the elevator, then when the door closed, she began laughing. Yes! It had been so easy to plant the gun. She had waited until she saw Adele leave for a meeting, then she snuck in and put the gun behind the filling cabinet, before m

Adele's PovAter Zoey left, I sat staring at the blank screen of my computer. In my mind I was going over what I would tell Dan this evening. I wanted to tell him the truth without upsetting him so much. I sat there for hours, worrying and sweating. I wondered if my dad had heard about what had happened. I didn't think so because Chris had made sure the press kept my name out of it, but even if I had been arrested and sentenced to death, I knew my dad won’t care. He was still mad at me. My phone rang and I nearly jumped out of my chair. “Calm down,” I told myself as I picked up the phone. It was Dan. “Babe I am stuck in a meeting, you’ll have to have lunch without me. Sorry about that.” He said. “It’s okay, I understand. I love you.” “Love you too, see you later.” I hung up and swallowed nervously. I knew he couldn’t wait for this evening, but i was dreading it. I was happy he couldn’t take me to lunch because I wasn’t even thinking of food. The thought of it made me ill. I was

Zoey stared at the note. There was no return address. She turned it over and saw an address written on the back. The address looked familiar but she wasn’t sure. Then she looked at the key. It was clearly a key to a storage unit. That’s it! The address was a storage unit. Was this some stupid prank? Or was it for real? Whatever the case, who was responsible? Chris? Or maybe Craig? She put the note and key back in the envelope and put them in her drawer, but she kept thinking about it. If it was for real and would put Adele in jail, and maybe even destroy Dan, why not? But she had to be careful. If Chris found out she was still plotting he would throw her out for good. She went home for lunch, hoping Craig would be at home. She wanted to ask his advice without giving too much away. She found him slumped in a chair, staring into space, biting him lower lip. He jumped startled when she called his name. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” She asked annoyed. For the past few days Cr

“Are you sure you want to come in today?” Dan asked Adele the next morning, as she stepped out of the shower. “I do. I have gotten over the shock of yesterday. I am fine.” He nodded but he wasn’t convinced. Everything wasn’t fine. In his office yesterday he had thought about Adele’s story and it didn’t make sense. If Hal wasn’t able to attend the meeting, why didn’t Adele let his company know? They could have sent someone else. Driving all the way to see him was suspicious, he remembered the way she had looked when he had come into her office, the afternoon she’d first met Hal. Dan had guessed something was wrong but she denied it. He was so worried that he went to meet his Dad. Chris was on the phone when he came in so he waited. “The news has already gone round about the murder.” Chris said when he hung up. “I’m going to make sure I keep Adele’s name out of it.” “Don’t you think it’s strange?” Dan asked. “No. It was a public place, and the victim works for a big compan

Adele's Pov. I was still sitting in the hotel lobby, when Dan rushed in with Chris behind him. “Are you okay babe? Are you alright? What happened?” He asked anxiously. I had called him five minutes ago, as soon as I'd managed to pull myself together. I had almost fainted after seeing Hal on the bed, a bullet hole in his chest. My scream had attracted a passing housekeeper who rushed in, and when she saw the body, led me to the lobby, then called the cops. I was still shaking and scared as Dan hugged me. “I am fine. Really.” I said. “What where you doing here honey?” Dan asked. “Yeah, why are you here? What is going on?” Chris asked. I stared at them, tongue tied. I hadn’t thought about what I would say when this question was asked. “I found a dead body. Hal Daniel’s body in his hotel room.” I stammered. “Yeah but why were you there?” Chris asked. “He asked me to come and talk about the contract.” I said. “In his room?” Chris asked confused. “Yeah he said he
