Gavin’s POV
“What the fuck do you mean you were a spy?” I asked, feeling my temper rising as I stared at her.
She bit her lower lip and nibbled on it gently.
“Levi Churchill hired me,” she admitted, furrowing my brows as I stared at her. “He’s after your company secrets, Gavin. I was young and weak at the time. I did whatever he wanted me to do. So, I pretended to be a nurse and stuck by your side, while collecting data.”
I was dumbstruck by her admittance. I pulled away from her, hurt by what she was saying. I had fallen for her back then; I was prepared to get down on one knee and propose marriage to this girl. But instead, she had been playing me.
“Was any of it real?” I asked her, my tone hardening as my eyes narrowed. “Any of the feelings you felt for me… any of the stuff that you had said to me… was it all fake? Part of the game you were playing to appease my enemy?” With each question I asked, my voice rose even more.
Tears filled her eyes, and she tried hard to blink them away, but they were still evident.
“I never expected to fall for you,” she whispered brokenly. “Once I did… once I knew I was in too deep, I knew I needed to get out.”
“So, you faked your own death,” I whispered. It wasn’t a question, just a statement.
She nodded her head, her teeth digging into her bottom lip.
“Yes,” she whispered. “I faked my own death. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I had to take lives in order to make that happen and make you believe that I was gone for good. I wanted to come back to you so many times and confess everything, but I was too afraid... too weak.”
“And now?” I asked, unable to look her in the eyes any longer. “Why are you back now?”
When I remained silent, unsure of how to answer that question, she continued.
“I hate that you look at me like a monster… that I can’t be trusted. But Gavin, if I really wanted to… I could have come up with another lie to put myself back in your good graces. Instead, I opened up the truth and told you everything. I don’t want there to be lies between us… not anymore.”
“It’ll take some time for me to trust you again,” I told her.
She nodded.
“I completely understand that, Gavin. I truly do,” she assured me, reaching out and putting her hand on mine. I met her eyes for the first time in what felt like hours, though I knew we had only been talking for about 30 minutes. I still had so many questions for her, but my head was reeling with all the new information I had found out today. I needed some time to think about it all and figure out where exactly we stood with one another.
Obviously, things couldn’t go back to the way things were but seeing her again after all these years… the woman I planned to propose to… the only other one I loved besides Melissa… it was difficult being in her presence without feeling myself fall back into the same pattern. Almost wanting to pull her into my arms and protect her from the world of chaos. I held myself back and ran my fingers through my hair, her touch on my arm almost intoxicating and burning a hole in my flesh.

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
Anyone have suggestions for other books like this that are captivating for me to read while I wait for more chapters etc?...
Despite everyone's frustrations with this book, I think it's quite entertaining. I think Gavin and Judy have a long road ahead of them. If/when they're able to finally get on the same page, they still have to deal with his mom. Not to mention Judy has to reconcile with Matthew after abandoning him when she promised she wouldn't; and face Irene with the news that she's carrying a new sibling. Lol, Levi is the least of their concerns. Then there's having the baby. Pretty sure Gavin has untreated trauma associated with Irene's birth. My thoughts are, just be patient, find other books to read in between and enjoy the ride. I think it'll be good....
Anyone Know where we Can Read all of this book 2 chapters a day is a joke And waiting is killing me I’ll just want to end this book !!...
I never really read these books, but came across this one and annoyingly got hooked. Do these books just go on forever with no resolution? As if so, I’m going to call it a day and write my own ending lol...
Lovely… I just found this book Friday and I’ve finished all that here. How often do they release more and how much at a time?! I’m invested....
So Spencer was “in love” before he even meet her? I used to wake up and read this book but now I let days go past before I read the chapters...
Well heres to the next 300 pages of this never ending story because now Gavin is going to have to save her before Spencer does something even more stupid because Judy is to weak to do anything for herself apparently....
3 chapters we didn't need. Already guessed Spencer was working with Levi and that the attacks were also Levi...
I think of all the things that bother me the most about the rushed writing is the inconsistencies. Judy and Nans room number was initially 606 when they checked in at the island resort for the Gamma Competition, but then was suddemly 906 - which turned out to be needed information later. When they first met, Judy went to Gavin's office the next day and told him about her father's imprisonment and her need for money, but then later the author made it sound like Gavin had no idea. She won 5 million for takimg first in the competition but then it was eluded to her not have much money and needed cash from the additional tutoring job with Lukas and the position in Levi's elite force. Honestly, the wishy-washy writing makes it feel like Gavin is less of a strong leader and more like he has so much personal drama he cant keep anything straight. It feels like Judy is weaker than the author has intended, as well. I feel like Rachel's return could have been tightened up with more details around her time Gavin instead of making Judy out to be a bit pathetic and desperate for just a sliver of Gavins attention. Her pregnancy was also disappointing because of the rushed plot, the author seemed to have forgotten that Judy gave her virginity to Gavin and no other sexual partners were introduced for her - so who the father of her baby was shouldn't have felt like such a surprise - it felt a bit insulting to her vibe and the character build throughout the hundreds of unnecessary chapters. I believe if the author spent a little more time and cleaned up some of the events with pertinent and necessary details and remove the oddities of over-the-top pieces (like the shower gel and cologne that appeared out of nowhere for Gavin in Judy's condo) this storyline could really be something great and intriguing for readers....
