Another Chance At Love Chapter 100
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.

“What are your plans for your new department?” Dan asked as they finished their coffee. “Honestly Dan I don’t have any plans because I am not taking the job.” “Why?” He asked alarmed. “My original plan hasn’t changed.” “Are you still thinking about leaving?” He frowned. “Yes. I am going back to Palo Alto tomorrow.” “Why? You have a good job now.” “You think that is important? My life was calmer there. I had a family, Rachel, Jay, and I. We were happy. I want that back.” She said. “You can have that here.” “I have tried it didn’t work. Back there I had people who trusted me, here you had no trouble believing I was a spy.” She said softly. “I know and I am sorry. But you believed Craig when he lied against me.” “And I still tried to find the truth, even though you do act like an ass when drunk, and I did apologized when I realized I was wrong. But you believed it without even thinking about it. Then you are sleeping with my sister of all people. I can’t just forge

Craig walked into the living room as Zoey threw a cup against the wall. “What now?” He asked rolling his eyes. “If you keep this up we won’t have any cups left in this house. What is pissing you off now?” She ignored him. He dropped into an armchair. “Tell me.” She didn’t answer but dropped her phone on his lap. He read the headline of the news blog. “What the fuck! Dad made her an executive!” He yelled. Zoey didn’t say anything. She poured herself another drink and sat on the sofa. “What happened to your big plan?” He asked. “I don’t know!” She yelled. “Take it easy. What went wrong? I thought you had everything planned so Adele would take the fall.” “I did. Everything pointed to her. But this afternoon, out of nowhere Dad announced he had discovered Tim Graham was the spy not her. I don’t know what the fuck went wrong.“ “Have you spoken to Karen about this?” “The idiot was here just now.” “Really? I thought I heard angry voices. She must have

Dan and Adele had dinner in an open air restaurant overlooking the ocean. “This is really great. I didn’t know you knew a place like this.” She said as they waited for their order. “I read about it online. It got great reviews so I decided we should give it a try.” Their order came and they ate in silence. “So do you still think Fresno has nothing to offer you?” He asked as they had dessert. “Yes. I think I have nothing to gain staying here.” “Please think again.” “ I have. But I’ve also decided to give it one more chance. I’m hoping things will get better. Dan was pleased and relieved. “How about a toast?” He asked. They toasted. “And since we are making a fresh start, let’s promise to be open and honest with each other and not let other people influence us.” He said. Adele raised her eyebrows. “Wow! That is really shocking coming from you.” “What does that mean?” “You jump to conclusions without hearing from me, you dated my sister to hurt me, and listene

Karen sat at a table in the Top Café, sipping coffee and impatiently looking towards the door. She was dying to see who the mystery person was. When she’d told her mom Tina had been skeptical and had told Karen not to go, but Karen insisted. Getting Adele out of her way was worth the risk. Besides she was meeting the person in a public place so nothing bad could happen. But now as she glanced at her watch and saw it was nearly 1pm, she became angry. Her mom had been right, this was a prank. Maybe Adele had even set it up just to laugh at her. She clenched her fist in fury. “Hey cutie.” A man said startling her. She frowned at the smirking, tattooed stranger as he sat down. “Go away. I am waiting for someone.” She snapped. “Yeah me. Sorry to keep you waiting. Karen right?” “Who the hell are you?” “A guy who can make Adele gone and Dan yours.” “How? And how did you get my number?” “I stole it from my sister Zoey. My name is Craig. I’m Dan’s brother. I have a plan that

Adele's PovA ringing sound woke me up from a nice dream of Dan and I having a picnic on the beach. I opened my eyes, wondering who could be called me so late then saw it was morning. I squinted at the sun streaming in and closed my eyes again. I was falling asleep when I realized I was snuggling up to someone. I froze and immediately pulled away. It was Dan and he was fast asleep. Memories of last night came back to me and I blushed. We had spent most of the night making love and had fallen asleep in each other’s arms. The phone rang again. I walked to my dress that lay on the floor in front of the door and pulled it out from the pocket. It was Rachel calling me. Oops, I thought, she wants to know if I am on my way. I will call her back later. I looked at the time and my eyes widened. I would be late for work. I went over to shake Dan. “Get up.” I said. “Mmmm..why?” He mumbled sleepily. “We have to get to work.” “Forget it. Come back to bed.” I rolled my eyes

Adele’s Pov “I am letting her go that’s what. What you are doing is crazy Tina! And I won’t support you.” Dad said. “You idiot! I am trying to help you solve a problem!” Tina yelled. “Just like I did with her useless mother.” “What?” I asked wide-eyed. “What do you mean? Did you have something to do with Claire’s death?” He asked. “Yes I did dumbass! What else was I suppose to do. You said you couldn’t be with me because you didn’t want to divorce her so I had to kill her. You mentioned she was going to Palo Alto to see her stupid friend so I waited on a quiet part of the road pretending I had engine trouble, when the fool stopped to help, I hit her on the back of the head and drove her car off a cliff. So your problems were solved.” “How could you be so evil Tina?” Dad asked shocked. “Shut up! I did it to help you. You should be thanking me! Now lock them up and stop being an idiot.” “Never! You have done enough. It ends now. I was an idiot to have had anything to do with you

Tina met Jason the same place she had met Adele. “What took you so long?” She asked suspiciously. “I went by a longer route. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t being followed.” He explained. “Okay, so you have everything?” “Yeah,” he said pointing to his case. “I heard you kidnapped Adele too?” “Yes to increase the ransom.” They began walking to the beach house. “She was the target, I used her son to get her. Tell me about Adele being Chris’ daughter, Claire cheated on you? I am not surprised. She was as useless as her daughter.” “There isn’t much to tell. Chris just told me she wasn’t my daughter, it explained a lot of things.” They got to the house and met Karen having lunch. “Dad! I was so happy when Mom said you were joining us. I hope you aren’t mad I didn’t tell you I was leaving?” “No. I wish you had though. Where is Adele and Jay?” “There.” Tina pointed to a door. “Let me see them.” Tina picked up a bunch of keys on the table and opened the door. Adele and Jay were s

“How could we be so stupid?” Dan groaned. He was pacing the living room very upset. “I was the idiot.” Chris said. “I should have known what Tina was up to when she didn’t want Adele around. In fact I should have had bodyguards here the minute this happened.” “It won’t have helped. From what the housekeeper said Tina didn’t rush in and kidnap her she lured her away.” Rachel said. “Jay and now Adele have been taken. What kind of an idiot am I not to have seen this?“ Chris asked helplessly. “Beating yourself up won’t help. We have to find a way to get them back.” Rachel said. “I am going to talk to Jason, he is going to tell me where his crazy wife is hiding.” Chris fumed. “I will come with you.” Dan said. “No. You two stay here and let me handle it.” Rachel said and left. Jason was staring at his dinner when Rachel walked in. “It is time to come clean Jason, where is Tina? Chris is right, you know where she is and you are hiding it from us.” She said. “I am not in t

The phone call had shaken Adele and Dan, but Rachel told them not to get upset. “Tina is trying to get to you guys, don’t let her win. You have to be strong.” She said. “I'm trying but it isn’t easy,” Adele cried. “Tina is crazy, what if she hurts him?” “She won't, she needs him to carry out whatever evil plan she has. Don’t worry, she will call again.” Two days later, Tina called Chris during lunch time. “Hey Chris, how are you? I'm calling you because you have what I need.” She said. “ You evil bitch! Where is Jay?” “The brat is fine don’t worry.” “If you harm him-“ “Why should I? I need him. I have no intention of hurting him. I just want to make a deal and I will let him go. Having him here is annoying.” “What do you want?” “Money.” “How much?” “I will tell you, but first call Dan and Rachel to your office by 4 pm. I want them to be there when I call. Do not call Adele.” “Why only Dan and Rachel? And why 4 pm? What are you up to?” He asked suspiciously.

Tina called Jason as he drove home. “Tina, what is going on? Is Karen with you?” He asked. “Calm down she is. I know you didn’t want her to know about our plan, but I couldn’t help contacting her. I hope you are not mad?” “Not really, although I wish you had told me first. Did she take Adele’s son?” “Yes, the brat is here.” “Tina that is kidnapping! She could be in big trouble! Why did you get her mixed up in this?” “Relax, no one is getting into trouble. We are going make money from this. I needed her help to pull it off.” “Money? How?” “From the ransom of course.” “Tina this is a bad idea.” “No it isn’t. Just calm down and leave it to me okay?” “Sure, take care of Karen, and please keep in touch.” When Jason got home he sank into a chair feeling tired and upset. He had guessed something was wrong when he tried to call Karen and couldn’t get through, then when he'd come home Marie had told him Karen had packed her bags to go on a camping trip. He had guessed s

Adele’s pov I couldn’t stop crying. Dan sat beside me trying to console me. Brenda was crying quietly in the armchair and Chris was on the phone, calling everyone he could think of to help find Jay. “This is all my fault,” Brenda said “No it is,” Dan said. “You didn’t get there on time because an accident delayed you, and I am very sure the accident was caused by Tina.” “It is my fault.” I cried. “I caused this. I brought Karen into our lives. You warned me Dan but I was stupid enough to trust her!” “Stop blaming yourself. It’s not your fault she turned out to be a witch, you couldn’t have known.” “Dan is right,” Chris said, None of you are to blame. We will find Jay, and arrest Karen and Tina, I promise.” The housekeeper led Dad into the room. “I got your message,” he said, “what’s going on? You said Karen kidnapped Jay? That’s impossible why would she do that?” “Because she is a psycho just like her mom and she needs to be stopped!” Chris fumed. ‘It is time to come

“Calm down Brenda, there must be some mistake,” Adele said trying to control her panic. “No! I got here and I couldn’t find him!” “Okay, I am on my way,” Adele said. She was trembling as she hung up and told Dan what had happened. “Calm down babe there must be a mistake somewhere. We will go to the school together.” He said. On the way to the elevator, Chris called him. “Dan I need to see you.” “Not now Dad-“ “It's urgent.” “I will wait in your car,” Adele said. Dan almost ran to Chris’ office. The man who had been with Karen was standing next to Chris. They were listening to a recording on a mobile phone on Chris’s desk. “Dad please make it snappy,” Dan said rushing in. “Listen to this.” Chris said. “I am in a hurry dad, tell me what it is.” “I found out where Zoey and her mom are living, somewhere across town. I sent one of my people to them to see what they were up to, and found out they were planning to hack into our company and steal millions, so I sent this guy to

She thought about the lunch and laughed, did the stupid Adele believe she was trying to be her friend?She is dumber than I imagined, Karen thought.She went to her room to wait for her mom’s call. It came an hour later.“Mom, I have been waiting.”“Sorry honey, I wanted to make sure you were back, how did it go?”“Better than I expected, I have the information.”“Meet at the usual place.”Karen hurriedly drove to the beach. Tina entered the car as soon as she stopped it.“I have everything Mom. I went to Adele and pretended I wanted to work with her, the fool believed my good girl act. I was able to get the info you wanted about her son.”“Smart girl! I knew I could rely on you. I have been gathering some information too and now have an idea of his routine.”“But why go through this stress, Mom? Can't we go straight to Adele?”“We can but it’s more difficult. Using her son to get to her is easier.”‘Okay, you said Dad is not to know about it?”“Not yet, till I'm sure he can be of hel

It was past dinner time when Karen came home.“You are late for dinner.” Her dad said.“Yeah I went for a walk. I have thought about what you said and you are right, Adele heading the company isn’t so bad. I want to work with her.”“I am glad you see things my way. I will call her tomorrow and tell her you are coming over.”“I hope we will be able to mend out relationship.” Karen smiled falsely.The next afternoon she walked into Adele’s office.“Dad told me you would be coming.” Adele said.“Yeah. I need a job. Sitting around waiting to hear from mom is driving me crazy.”“I am sorry about what happened. Chris has promised to help if she gives herself up.”“Dad told me. We are grateful. And I am sorry for all the awful stuff I did and said.” Karen said sounding remorseful.“Let’s move past that. I have a job for you in the media department, would you like that?”“Sure. I would love it.”“Okay, you can start tomorrow.”“How about you tell me a little about the job.” Karen said.“Sure.
