She looked at me, eyeing me head to toe.
“I’m assuming you’re the other woman?” She asked me, her eyes narrowed.
I swallowed.
“I think he was drugged,” I told her, ignoring her statement. “Did you notice anything strange before you left him at the bar?”
She frowned and shook her head, tucking a strand of dark curly hair behind her ear.
“No,” she replied. “I mean, he was drunk, but that was about it. I told the bartender to keep an eye on him while I booked a room for the night.”
I furrowed my brows, my wolf growing uneasy.
She didn’t trust Rachel, and I wasn’t sure if it was because she was jealous of her relationship with Gavin or if there was another reason. But I also found it difficult to trust her; she just came into Gavin’s life last month and took Gavin from us… She faked her own death years ago and broke his heart.
Why was she back now? After all these years?
When she noticed Gavin on the couch, she gasped and pushed past me. I nearly stumbled because I wasn’t expecting her to run past me like that. She was soon seated beside him, pulling him into her arms. He groaned softly as she ran her fingers through his hair.
“Oh, my poor baby,” she purred. “It’s okay now, I’m here. I’ve got you.”
He didn’t pull away from her or say anything. I think he was too out of it to struggle against her, but the sight of them together made my chest hurt. She had her arms wrapped around him and her face nuzzled in his hair; a tear slipped out from her eyes and went down her cheek.
“Thank you for taking care of my Gavin, Judy,” Rachel said, her eyes finding mine. “I’m glad he was in good hands.”
She didn’t question why I was there in the first place or how I knew Gavin was in trouble. She simply thanked me and held onto him closer.
My Gavin…
She called him hers.
My wolf growled possessively at the thought, and I pulled her back, not wanting to cause a scene right now. All that mattered was making sure Gavin was okay. I let myself get carried away by his kisses and touch, but the truth of the matter was, Gavin needed help.
“I’m here, baby,” Rachel whispered, pressing her lips to his mouth, branding him as hers. “I’m not going anywhere, my love.”
He let out a sigh, like he was relieved to have her presence with him.
I took a step back, my eyes still glued on them. Though my wolf was frantic in my mind, wanting to be released so she could tear this woman apart, the human in me was breaking, and my fight-or-flight mode was active, and at the moment, all I could think to do was run.
“Judy, can you shut the door on your way out?” Rachel asked, her eyes flickering over to me. “I’ll give Dr. Peirce a call just as soon as I get him into bed. Which, I’m sure, he’ll go easily for me.”
She gave me a slight smile; her fingers ran up his chest, and he let out another sigh.
I nodded, not sure what more to say. I had to get out of there before I vomited all over the pristine marble flooring.
Without another word, I turned and hurried out of the suite.
It wasn’t until I was in the elevator that I finally let my tears fall.

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....
