Another Chance At Love Chapter 89
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

Adele’s Pov I was still feeling very unhappy so I picked up my phone again and logged into social media, hoping Jack was free to chat. Hey are you free? Yeah, I am on my lunch break. Is everything okay? No. I am in big trouble. Why? What is it? My husband is sleeping with my sister, who is lying against me. My dad is taking her side, my father in-law is mad at me, and everyone hates me at work! She told him everything that had happened to her. I can’t believe this? Who leaked the design? Any idea? I don’t know. Craig thinks Dan did it to have an excuse to get rid of me. Do you believe that? I don’t. I don’t know and I don’t care. Everyone thinks it’s me anyway. How can Dan be sleeping with your sister? Is he an idiot? I guess so. What are you going to do? I am leaving for good on Sunday. I am going back to Palo Alto. What about your dad? And the business deal? Let them sort themselves out. My relationship with my dad is ruined anyway since I refused t

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
