Chapter 61

Dan woke up with a hangover that threatened to kill him. He tried to open his eyes but the sunlight coming in hurt so badly that he gave up. He hadn’t eaten much last night and had been drinking all evening until late into the night. He remembered being on the sofa thinking of all the past hurt Craig had caused him. Then after that nothing. He couldn’t even remember how he’d gotten to bed. He really had to get this under control. He tried to open his eyes again but couldn’t. Dammit! This was all Craig’s fault. The bastard was driving him to drink. But even as he cursed Craig he knew deep down it was his demons that were the problem. He had to overcome them. He counted to five and tried again slowly. The sunlight hurt but not so much. He looked round and frowned. This wasn’t his bedroom. His eyes fell on the half open wardrobe and he saw Adele’s clothes. Hell! He was on Adele’s bedroom! How had he gotten here? And where was she? As if to answer his question the door op

Chapter 62

Dan stared after Adele. Her behavior worried him. What had he done while drunk? Had he hurt her? He cursed. He really needed to get this thing under control. He thought again. He felt better after he ate breakfast and took a shower. Then he got dressed. Adele and Jay had left by the time he came downstairs. As he drove to work he thought about how Adele had looked at him when she’d brought him breakfast. She really seemed concerned about him. But if she was why would she plotting to steal his family company? Maybe her concern was all an act. If so then she was a very good actress. He sighed. Everything was trying to drive him crazy. A wife he loved and hated, an asshole brother, a tyrant dad and a conniving sister. No wonder he drank. He pulled into the carpark. As he got out of the car he heard footsteps behind him. He turned to see Karen. “What the hell are you doing here? Supposing my dad sees you?” He asked irritated. “I won’t be here if you weren’t avoiding me. Y

Chapter 63

Adele’s Pov I was just putting on my jewelry when I hear Dan’s impatient yell from the hallway. “Aren’t you done yet? We will be late.” He called. I looked at myself in the mirror. I looked good enough. I went to get Jay. I had told him to wait for me in his room. “You look really pretty mommy.” He said. “Thanks sweetie. You look good too.” I ran a comb through his hair and we went downstairs. Dan was pacing the living room impatiently. His eyes lit up when I came in. “You look good.” He said, looking me up and down. I knew the green spaghetti sleeved short dress I wore showed off my figure. “Thanks.” I said. His eyes lingered on my body and I felt myself blush, especially when I saw the effect it was having on his dick. “What about me?” Jay asked jumping on front of him. “How do I look?” “You look great.” Dan smiled. “You look good too.” Jay told him. “Thanks. Let’s go. We don’t want to be late.” He said. “My brother is going to try to be a je

Chapter 64

Every jaw round the table, with the exception of Jay’s, dropped. Chris Richards does have a way of springing surprise. Adele thought. “What a minute dad, what did you say?” Zoey asked. “I said Adele should come and work with us.” “No.” Adele said quickly. “ I appreciate the offer but I am not experienced enough to work in a place as big as RICH INTERNATIONAL.” “Yes you are. What you don’t know Dan will happily teach you.” Chris said. “Dad, Adele can’t work for us, remember?” Dan said. Adele looked at him, wondering what he meant by that. “I am thinking the financial department would suit Adele.” Chris continued ignoring Dan. “What do you say Adele?” “No. Not finance.” Adele said panicking. “Why not? I can make you in charge of the finance department. You will have full access to the company finances and be able to work better.” He said. Dan and Zoey stared at him as if he had gone crazy. “Dad! What are you talking about! Adele can’t work at RICH INTE

Chapter 65

Zoey stormed into her bedroom, cursing loudly and angrily. She didn’t care if her fucking dad heard. She felt like killing someone. She grabbed a flower vase from her dressing table and threw it across the room. It smashed against a wall. The books on her dressing table also went flying and many other things too. She really wished they were landing on Chris Richards head. Then she grabbed a pen from her table and began stabbing her pillow, imagining it to be Adele. She was angry and humiliated. That bitch Adele was going to come from no where and have a top position in her company, while she was a nobody in the same company. No! Never! Her dad had gone too far. She would get back at him and the bitch. She didn’t care what it took. Both of them would pay for her humiliation. When she was tired of destroying things she sat on her bed and buried her face in her hands. Her phone rang. She glanced at it and saw it was Karen calling. She ignored it. Craig came in. He whistled at the

Chapter 66

Adele’s Pov We drove home in silence. I was still too shocked to say anything. I glanced at Dan, he was still wearing the same frown he’d worn when he had gotten into the car. From the frown and the time he had wasted, I guessed a huge argument had happened after Jay and I had left. I sighed. I still couldn’t believe I was going to be working at RICH INTERNATIONAL. And it had been so easy that I was a little uneasy. What was Chris up to? And why was he insisting I go to the financial department, the same department my dad wanted me to go to in the beginning. Was it a coincidence? I didn’t think so. Or had my dad persuaded him to do it? More likely. Well Dad was in for a huge let down. I had chosen a department where I couldn’t get him any information. I felt excited at my new position, and also a little scared. The Richards siblings weren’t happy about it, not even Zoey who I thought was my best friend. Would I survive surrounded by all that hostility? Jay was asle

Chapter 67

Adele’s Pov Mommy can Mr. Dan go with us to the beach today?” Jay asked as I helped him dress the next morning. “No honey. Mr. Dan is busy. You and I are going to have fun today.” “Are we going to see grandpa Jason?” I hesitated. Dad had asked me to come but I didn’t want to, I didn’t want to tell him about the job offer just yet. I wanted to delay talking to him and hearing his angry complains when he heard I wasn’t in a place where I couldn’t carry out his plan. Jay repeated his question. “No sweetie grandpa Jason can’t see us today. But I will take you round town and give you a great time. I promise.” “Would we go to the beach again?” “Yeah honey, but first I want to talk you round town. Then there is something important I want to show you.” “What?” He asked. “You will see it very soon.”. I pinched his cheek lovingly and we went downstairs. Dan was at the tables. He looked up as we came in and mumbled good morning. “Can you teach me swimming again

Chapter 68

Adele's Pov It was the problem of who to look after Jay while I was working. There was no Rachel to help me now. I would have to hire help. It was the only thing to do, even though I felt uncomfortable leaving him with a stranger. I tried not to worry, reminding myself I would only be a phone call away and when I was home in the evenings I would give my son my full attention. But first I would tell Dan my plans. Not that I cared for his opinion, but it was the right thing to do. I had to catch him before he left for work, so on Monday morning I knocked on the door of his room. “Come in.” He said. I went in and stood staring at him like a statue. He had a towel round his waist. The sight of his muscular upper body literally took my breath away. I couldn’t breath, all I could do was stare. “Can I help you? Or did you come to stare at me?” He asked smiling a little. I found my voice. “I need to talk to you.” I stammered. “I want to hire a Nanny for Jay since I wi

Chapter 69

“When were you going to tell me?” Jason asked his daughter. “Tell you what dad? What are you talking about?” “That you had gotten a job at RICH INTERNATIONAL! Or were you trying to hide it from me?” Adele had been about to open her front door. She paused, her heart racing. “No I wasn’t trying to hide it. Chris offered me the job this morning.” She lied. “Really? So how come it already made it’s way into the news?” “It is in the news?” She asked alarmed. “Sure, how do you think I found out?” “Well I don’t know why it’s there so soon, but anyway I planned to tell you.” She stammered. “We will meet tomorrow as planned.” “Hold on Dad, it isn’t-“ He had already hung up. She yelled in frustration and went in. Her dad was in for a big surprise if he thought he would get RICH INTERNATIONAL through her. She was surprised her employment had made news though. She brought out her cell and went to the news blogs. She found it in the business section and smiled a lit

Chapter 70

Adele’s Pov Dad was smiling broadly as I walked over to his table. “Hey Dad.” I said quietly. I wasn’t looking forward to this meeting. “Hey sweetheart, you final did it. I knew you would. Once you got Dan to fall for you I knew he would agree to whatever you asked. But why didn’t you insist on the finance department?” I frowned at him. “I didn’t do anything Dad. Dan didn’t talk to his dad. Chris offered me the job without me asking. I thought maybe you spoke to him.” “No. I don’t want this linked to me.” “So why did Chris give me the job so easily?” I wondered aloud. “Who cares? You got the job. That’s what matters. It isn’t the department we wanted but it is a start. Now all you have to do is gather info on the company. Stuff like, what new designs are they developing, who are they doing business with and whatever financial information you can get.” “How am I going to get information sitting at my desk?” I asked annoyed. “Board meetings, talking to co worke
