“Yes, Alpha. Do we know how much he owes?”
“It doesn’t matter,” I said through my teeth. “I want it all paid off. No questions asked.”
“On it,” Taylor agreed. “I’ll let you know when he’s released and when Ethan is in custody.”
“His family isn’t to go anywhere either. If they try, put them in custody as well.”
There was slight hesitation on his end for a moment.
“Yes, Alpha,” Taylor finally said after a beat of silence.
Without another word, I hung up the phone.
I needed to get out of here for a few minutes. I needed air and the fact that Judy kept something this important from me made me furious beyond belief. If I wanted to face her, I needed to have a clear head.
…..
Judy’s POV
“Well, that was one way to tell him,” Irene said, staring at the closed door with a frown. “I’m sorry that happened,” she added.
I sat frozen, staring at the doorway that Gavin just disappeared through, my heart pounding in my chest and tears threatening to spill out of my eyes. I couldn’t believe that just happened. Now Gavin knew the truth about everything and there was nothing I could do about it.
“Maybe it’s for the best,” Irene said with a shrug. “Now he can do something about it. You shouldn’t have kept this to yourself, Judy. He can help get your dad out of prison.”
“My father’s pride is at stake,” I said softly.
“He’s being tortured in prison. I think this goes beyond pride,” Irene said, folding her arms across her chest. “Don’t you think?”
I knew she was right, so I nodded slowly.
‘Not just me,” Irene said, nudging me gently. “He wouldn’t let Ethan get away with hurting you either.”
My cheeks burned from her words, and I stared down at my lap.
“Maybe,” I said softly. “Either way, Ethan is a dead man.”
We talked for a bit longer and it was nice having her back as a friend. She asked some more questions such as, “Were you two still together when I met him?” And “Did he cheat on you with me?”
She looked pale after I confirmed that he did cheat on me and that I had been marked by him when I turned 18. Whenever he’s intimate with anyone, my mark burns. It got easier over time, especially since I was spending time with Gavin, it almost seemed as if Gavin eased the pain from the broken mate bond. But the ghost of the pain is still there.
After a while, I decided to return to my room and get some rest. I waited around for a while for Gavin to return, but he didn’t. I said goodbye to Irene and went to my hotel suite, expecting to see Nan tucked away in bed with Chester beside her or something. But when I got there, neither of them was in the room.
Instead, I was being grabbed the second I stepped into the room and pressed against the wall, my breath hitched when I heard the low and threatening words that were whispered in my ear, “Now, it’s time for us to talk.”

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?...
