Another Chance At Love Chapter 87
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

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’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

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 "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

“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

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

“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
