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

Jason Turner’s eyes widened when Chris Richards walked into his office that afternoon. “Chris, what are you doing here?” He asked. “Nothing much just came to discuss a couple of things.” He grinned, sitting in the visitor's chair. “Like what?” “I am sure you heard Adele was taken in for questioning, why didn’t you come to see her?” “I was busy.” “Too busy to see your daughter?” “I don’t see how it is your business.” “Adele is part of my family, so yes, it is my business. Especially since you are mad at her for no good reason.” “If you have only come to talk about Adele, then you should leave.” “No, I didn't come to only talk about Adele. I came to take a look at one of my new offices.” Jason looked confused. “What new office?” “This one, of course. Your company is now mine. I have bought all your shares.” Jason’s jaw dropped. “You are joking!” “Nope. I am not.” “You can't do that! We had a deal!” ‘Which ended the minute you paid Vera to steal my company

Zoey’s eyes widened. “What are you talking about?” She asked. “Let me explain.” He said. “At the same time I told Hal to find a girl, Lucy and Karen were looking for a way to get Adele to sleep with a guy and loses her boyfriend, so Hal arranged everything. He brought Adele and Dan together but maybe because it was dark and they didn’t see each other, and probably didn’t meet earlier on so they don’t know what happened.” “I can’t believe this! So Hal threatened to tell Adele?” “Yes, I went to try and talk to him, then ended up threatening him in anger and a hotel worker heard. “ “You must keep it from Dad. If he knows you’ll be in big trouble.” “Yeah, I know. The cops are investigating and have some leads from the gun. They may know about Lucy and Karen’s role soon, and if they arrest them they may talk. Which is why I have to leave here. But fucking dad won’t give me any money.” Zoey looked worried. “What do you mean?” “They have an idea where the gun came from, but the

Adele’s Pov I ran out of the building and into my car. I was so shocked I was trembling. I buried my face in my hands, trying to control myself. I couldn’t believe what I’d just heard. Was Chris my father? No, there had to be some mistake; my mom would never have cheated on my dad, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized it was true. I remembered one incident that happened years ago. It was my tenth birthday, and Dad had gone away on a business meeting, and Tina had refused to throw a party for me, telling me that she was ill and wasn’t strong enough for the stress of organizing a party. I was sad most of the day when I thought of how I would be spending the rest of the day alone. As I left the school, a car pulled up in front of me. I was frightened and ready to run when I saw the driver. “Hi, Mr Richards,” I said shyly. “Adele. Are you on your way home? Hop in let me give you a lift.” He grinned. I knew Chris and my dad were friends, although he hardly came a

Adele’s PovEveryone was quiet after Chris finished talking.“Does my- Jason know I am not his daughter?” I asked finally.“No,” Rachel said.“I would like to tell him, but not yet, not while he is going through so much,” I said softly.“I understand.” Chris nodded.“So now we all know the truth, what now? Does it change anything? Because it doesn't for me.” Dan said.“Me too. Adele has always been and is still my daughter.” Chris said.“And you, Adele? How are you feeling?” Rachel asked.“I honestly don’t know, it’s a lot to take in,” I said slowly. The truth was that I felt numb, the whole thing felt so unreal. One minute I was thinking of Chris Richards as my father in-law now I find out he is my father.“Take your time, babe, don’t rush it.” Dan kissed me and stood up. “I have to return to work, or do you want me to stay with you?”“No. Go to work, and I will be in tomorrow.”“I will go and pick up Jay,” Rachel said. “Give me a lift, Dan.”They walked out, leaving Chris and I.“A
