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

Adele’s Pov “Thanks so much for your help Miss Taylor.” The brown haired woman said, smiling broadly. “Call me Claire, and it is my pleasure.” I said. “We really appreciate it,” her fiancé said. He also had brown hair, in fact they looked like siblings. “We were so lost as to which design to use then we met you, and now everything is falling into place. You have been a big help.” “I am just doing my job.” I closed the catalog we had been going over, looking at designs for their new home. They stood up and I followed them to the door. “We would like to invite you to the wedding.” The woman said. “Yes please come Claire.” Her fiancé agreed. I hesitated. I hadn’t been to a social event in years and didn’t want to go, but they were my clients, I had to refuse carefully. “It is on Saturday right? I may be busy that day,” I said gently. I saw their faces fall. “But if I am not I will come.” I said quickly. “I promise.” Their faces brightened. They praised me once more then

Adele's PovI was slightly shaken as I half ran to Rachel’s house. I kept looking back, but there was no sign of the man.By the time I reached Rachel’s house I had calmed down. I wasn’t been followed.I knocked on the door. I could hear Jay’s excited voice from inside.“Mommy’s here.” He squealed.The door opened and he jumped into my arms. If it had been daytime he would have been looking out of the window and seen me coming. He would have run outside to welcome me, like I used to do to my dad. I shook off the memory and hugged him tightly.“Hey mommy, guess what? We have a new slide at our school.”“That’s great.” I said.“Welcome Claire. You are just in time for dinner.” Rachel said as we followed her into the house.“Really you shouldn’t have.” I said.“I should and I did. It isn’t fair for you to go home and start cooking after a long day.”We went through this conversation almost every evening. Rachel would have dinner waiting for me when I came to pick up Jay, and I would be

Adele’s PovI felt relived as I opened the door to my apartment. It was two tiny bedrooms, a living room, and kitchenette. Not much, but it was home. And after a long, hectic day, I looked forward to coming home.I put the groceries in the kitchen then got Jay ready for bed.“Mommy,” he said as I combed his hair.“Yeah sweetie.”“Why don’t I have a family?”I froze in shock.“What do you mean?” I asked.“At school today my friends talked of their grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles. How come I don’t have any?” “Well my mom, your grandma, is in heaven.” I explained.“With my daddy?”I swallowed nervously. “Yes.”“What about grandpa?”“He lives in Fresno with your other grandma and your aunt Karen.”“Can we go see them? Please? I want to meet them.” He begged, looking at me with his bright blue eyes.“Okay we will.”“When?” He asked eagerly.“I am so busy now…but I will make time. I promise.”He smiled happily and I felt my heart squeeze painfully.I put him to bed and kissed him g

5 years EarlierAdele’s Pov That morning I woke up to a warm sunshine and a cold ball of uneasy in the pit of my stomach. Today was my twentieth birthday and I was full of excitement. So why the cold ball of fear? I had no idea, except I felt as if something terribly life-changing was about to happen to me. But what? Was anyone going to die? No! Of course not. I was being silly. Today was my big day and nothing bad was going to happen. I was just excited and why not? Dad had promised me a big party. As the CEO of the largest winery in the state, and one of the richest men in the state, I knew the party would be the talk of town. I jumped out of bed and ran into the shower. I hummed happily as I showered, then got dressed, admiring my hot body in the full length mirror. I was already imagining the party and all the rich kids that had promised to attend. I was a bit disappointed though because my boyfriend Harry won’t be attending. He was out of the state. But I told myself I wo

Adele’s Pov What the hell! Why were they doing this to me? When Karen turned seventeen a couple of months ago we’d had a huge party. I had helped organize it and had been very happy for her, despite my efforts not being appreciated. So why couldn’t I have a party now I was twenty? Why had dad suddenly change his mind? I had a feeling Tina had something to do with it. She must have convinced him to change his mind after I had left for school. I felt tears sting my eyes. Why couldn’t Tina treat me like her daughter too? Why the hate? I sat down heavily on my bed. Tina hadn’t always been this way. Dad had met and married her three months after we had lost my mom to a car accident. I had been three years old then. Looking back now I suspect he and Tina may have been having an affair, although I had no proof. But if my suspicions were correct, it would be very heatless of him. Sleeping with another woman while he was married to my mom. At first Tina was an angel, or so I thoug

Adele’s Pov “You are not going to a party dressed like that are you?” Lucy asked as she let me into her house. “What is wrong with it?” I asked, looking at my blue blouse and miniskirt. “Everything is wrong with it. Come on let’s get you into something sexy. Today is your birthday. You need to look sexy.” She said and led me to her bedroom. “Where are your parents?” I asked as I noticed she was unusually loud and carefree. Usually she was always quiet and acting innocent when her strict parents were around. “Out to a party of their own. Here put this on.” She pulled a dress out of her wardrobe and handed it to me. I put it on. It was black, short and tight. “It is beautiful, but isn’t it too short?” I asked trying to pull the dress lower. “Nonsense! This is perfect for the party. You look hot girl! Even Harry won’t recognize you.” I laughed. “Right!” “When is he coming back to town?” She asked. “Next week. I am so horny I can hardly wait!” “Ma

Adele’s Pov I woke up the next morning with a headache. I groaned as I opened my eyes then shut them quickly. The sunlight streaming in hurt them. I was tired and sore, with no memory of what had happened the previous night. I tried to open them again and was able to keep them open. I looked round. I was in one of the bedrooms and I was alone. My heart skipped in fear. What had happened last night? I tried to remember. It was all a blank. But my underwear was missing and I was sore. I looked at the bed and the soiled sheets confirmed my fears. I’d had sex. I nearly passed out with fear. Sex with who? And where was the person now? Why would I do something so reckless? How could I have cheated on Harry? I was dying of shame. I looked around and found my panties on the floor besides the bed. I picked it up and shoved it into my handbag, then staggered out of the room and went to find Lucy. All the partygoers were sprawled everywhere, snoring drunkenly. I found her lying on th

“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
