“Maybe so,” he replied after a short pause. “I’d like to believe that over the fact that they’ve been lying to us. I’m not really sure how we can know for sure, though. Maybe I’ll agree to Zachary’s terms and keep him as close as possible.”
“You’re thinking about agreeing to the merger?”
Gavin sighed as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into him; my protruding belly kept us separated slightly.
“He’s scared,” Gavin said, almost thoughtfully. “There’s something or someone he’s afraid of, and I’m not entirely sure what it is. He mentioned that his enemies are now coming after him and his family, now that he’s no longer in hiding, and rumors are circulating everywhere. I think maybe they need us.”
My heart squeezed.
“Enemies…” I said softly. “Do you think they could be the same ones that my birth mother was afraid of? Her family?”
“What makes you think that?”
“I don’t know,” I said, my cheeks flushing slightly. “It’s just all so weird, and I’m not sure how any of it connects, but I have that nasty feeling that it does. I also have a feeling that Esme might know, and that’s why she’s not speaking.”
Gavin was quiet for a long while as he let that information process.
“We shouldn’t jump to conclusions.”
I nodded, knowing he was right, but I still had a nasty feeling in the pit of my stomach.
“Did you know that Zachary had a sister?” I asked.
“I vaguely remember Coraline,” he remarked. “I think she and my father had a thing for a long time before he met his mate. She came around once in a while, but then she just stopped appearing.”
“She was the one who put the magic in the Moon Gem,” I told him. “Selene told me as much. But she hadn’t seen or heard from her since. She’s not sure what happened or why Cora decided to cut ties with the family, but it really hurt Zachary.”
“You think she might have more information?”
I nodded, nibbling on my lower lip.



I didn’t want to be interrupted right now, but it was too late. Gavin chuckled as he pecked another kiss on my lips, and then he released me. He went to the door and opened it only to find Irene standing on the other side.
“Hi,” she said, nibbling on her lower lip. I could tell she’s been crying, and my heart squeezed painfully in my chest. “Sorry to bother you…”
“It’s okay, Irene. Everything okay?” Gavin asked.
She looked uncertain for a moment, and then she let out a breath.
“I just need a distraction. I was wondering if Judy wanted to do some more wedding planning?”
I smiled.
“I would love 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?...
