Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 56

Chapter 0056

Judy’s POV

“Return the favor?” I asked, my heart falling deep into my stomach. “What are you talking about?”

He cleared his throat and straightened his posture; the soft expression he wore for most of the day was gone completely and now it was a cold look that sent a chill down my spine. I instinctively took a step away from him, not wanting to be anywhere near him.

“You know exactly what I’m talking about, Judy,” he said, his brows furrowed in my direction. “I want you to be my mistress. Do what I ask, and I’ll make sure your mother is well and that your father comes home by the end of the night.”

My heart was bleeding at the man that l’once loved more than anything in this entire world. At one point, I would have done anything for him. Now, as I stared at him, I saw nothing but a stranger staring back at me. His eyes were cold and unfamiliar; his lips were pressed in a thin line as he glared at me.

No matter how many times he asked me, I still couldn’t believe what he wanted me to do. He wanted me … his fated mate… to be his mistress while he married another woman. A woman who didn’t deserve to be treated this way. Irene was a sweet girl, and it was clear that she loved Ethan more than anything. It hurt knowing that another woman felt this way about my mate, but I also knew that the heart wanted what it wanted, and her heart wanted Ethan.

“How could you ask such a thing from me, Ethan?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “Did our two years together truly mean nothing to you?”

His expression softened for the briefest of moments.

“Of course, it meant something to me,” he said, stepping closer to me. “That’s why I can’t let you go, Judy. You are my mate… you belong to me, and I will have you in any way that I can get you. Wouldn’t you rather be with me in secret than not be with me at all? Think about your wolf. Do you want to end up like your mother?”

My wolf had been quiet this entire conversation; I could feel her silently observing this interaction and I knew it pained her, the kind of things Ethan was saying to us. She didn’t want to be a mistress either, but she also didn’t want to let her mate go.

“And your wolf is okay with making his mate a mistress?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.

Ethan shrugged casually.

“He knows what needs to be done. That’s the qualification of being an Alpha,” he said simply.

“You aren’t an Alpha yet,” I murmured.

“I have the Alpha blood and the Alpha traits. Soon, thanks to Irene, I’ll have the official title as well.”

I rolled my eyes at him.

“Correction, I was yours. You lost every right you had towards me the moment you decided on another. woman. The moment you got down on one knee and proposed to someone else in front of my face. You didn’t even tell me about her, Ethan. You let me find out the hard way and I will never forgive you for what you have done. Not only to me but to my family as well. I can’t exactly prove it, but I know you had something to do with my father’s business going bankrupt.”

He smirked at me and folded his arms across his chest.

“Exactly, you can’t prove anything,” he said, his tone filled with pride as if he was proud of himself and his actions. “It’s your word against mine and guess who everyone is going to listen to?”

At that moment, Ethan’s phone started to ring in his pocket. It wasn’t the first time it had rang this evening, but he hadn’t answered a single call. He sighed and grabbed his phone from his pocket,

frowning at whoever was calling. I thought he would finally answer the call because whoever it was, must be important if they were trying to reach him as urgently as they were.
