Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law

Judy's POV

I felt so incredibly stupid. Of course, Ethan had something to do with this. How could he not? He was always planning or scheming something. I should have known he wouldn't stop and that he'd use Daisy to get his way.

I looked at Gavin's rigid back as he processed this new information. He was furious, that much was clear. His fists kept clenching and unclenching.

This whole time I had been so upset with him, thinking he had been sleeping with both me and Daisy. Only to find out that it was all a plan set up by Ethan. Gavin wasn't even in the hotel suite at the time of Daisy being there; he hadn't known she was there. I should have talked to him instead of jumping to conclusions; but I thought the facts were clear.

"I might have done my part, Gavin, and I might have had my own reasons, but I'm not the mastermind behind this," Daisy continued as she folded her arms across her chest. "I'm not the one you should be going after."

Gavin's jaw ticked and I could see the tension in his body. He was battling with himself; torn between ending Daisy or letting her go so he could seek out Ethan. At the end, the latter won, and he stepped away from her.

“Get out of my face before I change my mind,” he growled, his wolf's anger palpable.

Daisy only smirked; she didn't rush away, her eyes remained on his for a moment before they flickered to me and then I saw them darken. Without a word, she turned and walked away, leaving me feeling numb and incredibly stupid.

"Ethan's here?" Irene asked, tears in her eyes. I looked at her, remembering how quiet she's been, and my heart shattered for her. Her ex-fiancé was here and made it clear that he wasn't here for her; he was here to fuck with me.

Nan and Chester had appeared shortly after, their concern clear on their faces as they looked at the scene before them.

I was frozen, unable to tell them anything about what had happened. My body was trembling; Ethan was never going to stop. I was going to have to live with him tormenting my family and me forever. And Irene will always suffer because of this as well.

She looked utterly broken and confused in that moment and my heart shattered even more for her.

"Chester, Nan, can you take Irene back to the suite," he asked. "Matthew as well, wherever he is."

"Last I saw, he was stuffing his face with dessert," Chester said, pointing at the ceremony hall. "Yeah, we'll go grab him and bring them both upstairs."

Gavin nodded his thanks. At first, Irene refused to move; she was rooted to the ground, tears spilling out of her eyes as she thought about everything that had happened. She wasn't sure how to feel at this moment and I couldn't blame her.

But after some urging from Nan, she finally moved from her spot, following them, leaving me alone with Gavin.

I stared at the spot on the wall that Daisy was once pressed against. The ghost of her form still lingering.

Before I knew what was happening,

Gavin closed the small distance between us, wrapping me tightly in his arms and pressing me against his chest. It was a gesture I wasn't used to from him; he wasn't the comforting type, but I immediately melted against him, hating my body for being so weak when it came to Gavin Landry.

I should hate him... I should be upset with him still, but I couldn't. I was relieved that nothing happened between him and Daisy like I thought it did. I was relieved he hadn't lied to me about anything.

My mind was whirling with all this new information, and I wasn't sure what to do with any of it. He ran his fingers up and down my spine soothingly, another gesture I wasn't used to from him.

He peppered kisses along my hairline, sending a chill across my flesh and melting even further. His warmth and scent engulfed me, and I could practically hear my wolf purring in contentment from his sweet and comforting embrace.

He ran his fingers through my hair, and I shivered from the feeling. I peeked up at

him, tears in my eyes from everything that had happened.noveldrama

"I'm sorry," I whispered. "I should have talked to you."

"Did you really think I was fucking her?"

I nibbled on my lower lip, heat creeping up around my nose and cheeks; I knew

he could see the redness easily on my face.
