Gavin’s POV
The moment we stopped in front of Megan Churchill’s hospital room, something in my chest tightened.
I no longer believed in coincidences.
23 years in a coma. Kept alive by machines; hidden, protected, and imprisoned all at once. And now my mate—pregnant, powerful, and already carrying too much on her shoulders—was standing beside me, about to face another piece of a past that never should’ve touched her.
I tightened my grip on Judy’s hand without even realizing I’d done it.
I could feel her anxiety and her worries; I just wanted to take it away from her. If I could protect her from those feelings, I would in a heartbeat. She stared up at the door; her eyes filled with worry, and her bottom lip stuck between her teeth.
“You don’t have to go in yet,” I told her quietly. “We can go somewhere else for a bit so you can clear your mind.”
She looked over at me, and for a moment, I saw the vulnerability making her waver. She searched my eyes with her own, and then something else flashed through them. It was raw determination, very much the Judy I knew so well and loved with every beat of my heart.
“We should do this now,” she said, her eyes never leaving mine. “I need to get this over with.”
“You should be warned,” Eliza said, staring between the two of us; for a moment, I had forgotten she was here. “She’s been in a coma for so long, and this is the lower end of the hospital. Patients are often forgotten here… it means she wasn’t taken care of well. There’s no telling what we will be walking in on.”
I nodded and pulled Judy a little closer to me.
“I’m ready,” she said, taking a deep breath.
Eliza nodded and pushed open the hospital room door. We stepped inside; I kept my hand on Judy’s lower back as we walked forward.
The room was dim, lit mainly by the glow of monitors and machines. The steady beep of a heart monitor filled the space, slow and consistent. The air smelled clean, sterile, but underneath it was something else. Something old. Like time itself settled in the corners.
Megan Churchill lay in the bed, pale and still. She looked younger than she should’ve.
Her blonde hair had some silver streaks, but her face… her face looked preserved, almost untouched by age. Like time had stopped the moment her body shut down. Tubes ran from her arms. A ventilator moved her chest in a low mechanical rhythm.
Judy’s body trembled slightly beside me, and I found myself stepping even closer to her, closing the small gap that lay between us.
She bravely took a step forward, and I went with her; she moved as if she were afraid the room might reject her. She stared at Megan’s face, her breath catching.
“She looks…” Judy whispered.

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?...
