All Chapters of Another Chance At Love: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

I stared at Dan and my son in shock. Was I dreaming or were they both laughing and talking? I bit my lip and felt pain. Nope, it was no dream. “Good morning mommy. Mr Dan is going to come to my school on daddy’s day.” Jay said proudly. “I gave him a business opp…opp..” “Opportunity.” Dan said holding back a laugh. Jay blushed. “ That word is so hard to say.” “Come on you will be late for school.” I stammered still very confused “If you are quick enough I can drop you off.” Dan said glancing at his watch. My jaw dropped. What? When did this good guy act start? “Yippee! Come on mom let’s hurry.” He said pulling me towards the stairs. “What is going on?” I asked Dan. “Why the sudden change?” His smile faded and he looked me up and down. “I see a business opportunity.” He said and turned to his coffee. Puzzled, I went to join my son. I got him ready and after breakfast Dan drove him to school. After they left I sat in the living room thinking about t

Karen came home in a very bad mood. “Honey what happened?” Her mom asked as she marched into the living room. “Why are you back so soon? I wasn’t expecting you till late or maybe tomorrow even.” Karen didn’t answer. She went to the fridge to get a bottle of water. She needed it to cool her temper. Then she came back and dropped into the chair next to her anxious mother. “What happened with Dan? Were you caught?” Tina asked. “No. He was a no show. Where is dad?” “He went to do something at the office. What do you mean?” “I mean he didn’t show up at the hotel.” She said irritably. “He cancelled at the last minute.” “Did he say why?” “No, but I can bet that bitch has something to do with it.” She said bitterly. She was furious that Adele had ruined a perfect plan, which had been to get Dan to the hotel and seduce him. Tina had given her sleeping pills to make the job easier in case Dan proved difficult. She had been determine Dan would sleep with Karen, willingl

Adele's Pov I stared at my dad in shock, not wanting to believe what I was hearing. “Listen carefully.” He said. “There is a company interested in working with me to take that bastard down. All I need you to do is to get Dan to employ you in the financial department and I will tell you what kind of information I will be needing. Once you have gotten it we can go ahead and launch a hostile takeover. I will get my company back fully, and my ally will get RICH INTERNATIONAL.” He told me the details of his plan. The more he talked,the lower my heart sank until I was afraid it would drop out of my feet. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I knew my dad didn’t really like Chris buying a big part of his company, and he was willing to do a couple of bad things to get it back, but I never imagined he would do something criminal, and worse still involve me in it and risk me going to jail. Did he hate Chris so much or love me so little? “So do you understand?” He asked when he was

Adele's Pov At breakfast Jay talked of nothing else except yesterday’s swimming lesson. I smiled as I watched him. I couldn’t remember the last time he had been this happy or excited. “I am happy you enjoyed it honey.” I said when he stopped to drink his juice. “I did and Mr. Dan has promised to teach me every weekend until I learn how to swim.” “That is really nice of him.” I said. He nodded. “He is nice. I really like him. I am happy you married him.” “Married who?” Dan asked coming into the dining room. “You,” Jay said before I could stop him. “I am happy my mom married you. I like you.” Dan looked shocked he glanced at me. I was shocked too and embarrassed. Kids never hold back. I thought. “You like me?” He asked Jay as if he wasn’t quite sure he’d heard right. Jay nodded and smiled. “You are a good daddy.” For a second Dan looked as if my son had said something unbelievable, then he smiled a little. “Thanks. I like you too.” He said awkwardly. He grabbe

Dan put his cell on the table. Adele had sounded surprised that he had answered the phone. He had been surprised too. Only a couple of weeks ago he hadn’t wanted anything to do with her or her son. But she had changed everything that night, when he’d fallen asleep on her lap. It had meant a lot to him that she had stayed with him. When he had carried her room he’d fought the urge to get into bed with her. And the next morning when he had seen her at the breakfast table, looking so sweet and sexy he had fallen madly in love with her. And there was Jay, the kid was smart and he couldn’t help liking him. He smiled remembering their swim lesson yesterday and how they had both enjoyed it. He had been terrified by the thought of having a family, but now he had one, he found it wasn’t so bad. Karen called him again. He cursed in annoyance. She had been calling since Saturday and he had tried to ignore her but the calls were irritating. He had told her from the beginning that th
