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

He looked upset and worried. “Adele’s I have been to your office and was told you had left. What happened? Are you okay?” “Yes,” she stammered. “I had to leave early.” “Why? Is something wrong with Jay?” “No. I…I couldn’t stay there anymore.” She tried to keep her voice steady but couldn’t stop the tears stinging her eyes. Chris got up and came towards her. “Are you alright?” He asked softly. She shook her head as tears rolled down her cheeks. “Everyone hates me. They think I ruined the design launch. I can’t work there.” She sobbed. He held her to him as she cried softly. “I am sorry,” she sniffed pulling away. “I know you are mad at me leaving before closing time but I couldn’t stay. I will email you my resignation letter on Monday.” He smiled at her. “Your son is at school right?” She nodded. “The nanny went to pick him up.” “Come on.” He led her to the door. “Where are we going?” She asked slightly worried. “To make you feel better.” He said.

Craig hung up grinning. He had just spoken to Adele again and the news she had given him made him smile. So far so good. He was making progress. She was lonely and vulnerable and this was the perfect time to move in. In a week or two he would make the final move and get into her bed. He poured himself a drink and sat in an armchair, sipping it and imagining Adele in his arms. “Craig! What the hell have you done?” Zoey asked bursting in and startling him. “Nothing. What are you talking about?” “Did you tell Adele Dan was seeing Karen?” “I told her he was seeing someone, I didn’t mention any name.” He lied. “That wasn’t your business. You should have kept out of it!” “Sorry. I meant no harm.” “You did! You did it to score a point with Adele, now Karen thinks I am betraying her.” She said, angry at how Karen had called and accused her of playing both sides. “Who cares what Karen thinks.” He said. “I do for now. Until I am done using her. You told Adele where Karen and D

He found it hard to breathe. All he could do was gape at her. She was wearing a sliver thigh length dress. It clung to her curves and had a plunging neckline and thin sleeves. Her hair was tied back with a ribbon. He had never seen her look so breathtaking. His eyes went over her body and he felt blood rush to his groin. Even Brenda was surprised. “Adele you look lovely.” She said in admiration. “Thanks Brenda. And thank you for coming.” She turned to Dan who was still staring. “Shall we?” He nodded and swallowed noisily. She went to the living room to kiss Jay goodbye, then they walked to his car. “You look really beautiful!” He said huskily as he started the engine. “Thank you.” She said coldly. “I appreciate you coming with me.” “I am doing it for your Dad, not you.” She snapped. He winced. To ease the tense silence he put on the radio. Bryan Adams, Please Forgive Me, filled the car. Dan glanced at her and began singing along. Adele blushed, embarrassed and a

Adele's Pov “Is there a reason you are questioning my love for my wife?” Dan asked putting his arm around me. His touch was like electricity and I had to force myself not to pull away. “Dan. Adele and I are old friends. We were just catching up.” Harry said looking uncomfortable. “Didn’t sound like that to me.” Dan said and turned to me. “Am I wrong honey?” “No you are not. He was harassing me.” I said. “No I-“ Harry stammered. “I don’t like people harassing my wife Owens.” Dan said coldly. “It really pisses me off, and when I am pissed off you won’t want to deal with me. Let this be the last time it happens, or else you won’t be the only one who suffers the consequence.” Harry looked at him. I could see he was angry and scared. “Sure Dan. No need to get mad, it won’t happen again. Nice seeing you again Adele.” He said and walked away. “Are you okay?” He asked. “As if you care!” I snapped pulling away from him. “Hope your girlfriend won’t get mad you lef

Adele’s Pov I felt color drain from my face. I was happy Jay was napping and couldn’t see all this. Karen grinned triumphantly. “You heard drama queen! Pack your junk and beat it!” She said. “I wasn’t talking to her.” Dan snapped. “I was talking to you.” Karen’s eyes widened in surprise, so did mine. “You need to leave Karen. You shouldn’t be here. I didn’t invite you neither did Adele.” He said. “But Dan-“ “Leave.” She looked at Dan then me. Her face was red with anger and humiliation then she left, slamming the door. “Believe me I didn’t invite her.” He said. “It doesn’t make you innocent. She is here because of you.” “And I sent her away.” “For now. I’m sure you will make it up to her in bed later tonight.” I sneered. “I am not sleeping with her! How else can I say it?” “Save it because I don’t care. After tomorrow I will be gone and she can move in.” “You can’t. You know what will happen to the deal.” “I don’t care.” I went back into the living ro

There was a minute of stunned silence as everyone stared at Chris then Adele, who was just as shocked. Then Dan began to clap and everyone else did too. Except Zoey. She looked shocked, not believing what she was hearing, then turned bright red with anger and glared hatefully at Adele before storming out of the room. Meanwhile Adele was showered with congratulations from her co workers. She stared at them tongue tied. “Congratulations Adele.” One of her co workers said. “I am really happy for you. Sorry if we have been so nasty, we thought you were the one trying to sabotage the company.” “Yeah.” Another said. “ We never knew it was Tim of all people. Please forgive us.” “It..it…em..it’s okay. I am just happy everything has been solved.” Adele stammered. “Congratulations our new HOD.” Chris said coming up to her. “I know your appointment will be one of the best decisions I have ever made.” “I appreciate this Chris but I can’t be HOD when I move to Palo Alto.” “Nope.

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
