But his attempts were futile; I still had the upper hand.
After their initial shock wore off, the others lunged at me as well, trying to get me off their supposed leader. With the help of Tabby, we were able to get them all on the ground, gasping for breath and begging for us to stop.
“Surrender,” Tabby said, her eyes dark with fury. “And maybe we’ll let you live,” she added with a smirk.
“We…we surrender,” the girl said, her body quivering. Tabby managed to break her arm, so she wasn’t going to be much of a fight if she did choose to continue fighting.
We collected their white flags, as a show of surrender and we let them wander off to wait for the chopper to collect them.
Not before long, the rest of our teammates were returning, they were chanting and cheering because they got the rest of the flags, but when they saw the scene in front of them, their excitement was palpable.
“They surrendered,” Tabby announced, holding up the white flags.
“Way to go!” Chuck cheered. “I knew you were the right ones for this job. Did they seriously try and fight you? What idiots.”
This made the rest of the team laugh. My team at least knew what I was capable of and knew not to mess with me.
“Let’s get the hell off this island. I need a hot bath,” Sherry complained as she gathered the rest of the flags and headed towards a canoe.
The rest of us nodded in agreement. We cleaned up the campsite and then started toward the canoes.
I had never been in a canoe before, and I was a bit nervous. But it couldn’t be much worse than jumping out of a plane blindfolded.
The waves were fierce, so we had to crash through them, water filling the bottom of the boat with each splash. There were only a couple of paddles in each boat so the strongest and more experienced were the ones who rowed, while the rest of us tried to navigate using the sky.
A couple of drones also followed us on our path while the other stayed with the other competitors on the island.
It took us several hours and a few times we got a bit turned around, but eventually, we found our way and the resort dock came into view.
I smiled at her, grateful for her words.
“Thanks,” I replied.
“If it comes down to it, I will still kick your ass in the finals next week,” she teased. “Make no mistake.”
“Count on it,” I replied with a smirk.
We were soon announced as the winners of this week’s Group B competition and the stadium went absolutely nuts. But my eyes wandered around to the one person I was hoping to see and when my eyes finally landed on him, my breath hitched.
Who was that woman he was talking to?

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
This story is all over the place. i'm trying my best to keep going because he would be so good The writer and editor communicated at least a little. (Yes I understand its 1 maybe 2 people writing and tending to the story) However, everyone needs to be on the same page. The characters names continue to change: Rachel at first then her name changed to Rebecca, Ethans sister name is now jenna. some times they talk in 3rd person which I'm sure is a accident when its in that characters POV. How did we do a time jump 5 years making Matt 13 with Judy's son being 5 years old but when we get to the Blackwell story line he's nine again and she's still pregnant using her time with matt to gain experience with her son. What happened to the time jump....
Is it just me, or do they add chapters daily for one week then leave you in suspense for a week before they start posting again? The book is amazing, but it's frustrating being in such high excitement and thrill then being left with your mind boggling....
Thank you for continuing to write this story! Trying to be grateful for the recent 2 small chapters a day, however due to enjoying it so much, wish they were more and longer....
Could the author please get the names correct…CHESTER is Nan’s mate —NOT Chuck. I don’t know who is writing these chapters, but I do not think it is the original author. Considering the original author has quite a few ongoing stories, she must have handed this one off to someone else. Very disappointing!...
Has the author forgot her own story? Didn't lila/Racheal date gavin when he first got Mathew? Meaning that she's the same or similar age as gavin! Now it's changed that she's born on the same day as Judy......
This book has gone off the rails. First there was a Five Years Later chapter where everyone had kids and Irene was marked and pregnant by Chuck and now they're not mated and Chuck is a slime ball. Make it make sense....
I don't understand thus story. Didn't she just win 5 million in the gamma games? Why is she living with people and not in her own place?...
No updates/new chapters since 10/14/2025???? This is so frustrating for those of us who have followed this book/author from the beginning! So disappointing!...
Why no updates posted since 9/20/25????...
Well that.....sucked. That can't seriously be the ending? Tf?...
