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.

The readers' comments on the novel: Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law
Anyone have suggestions for other books like this that are captivating for me to read while I wait for more chapters etc?...
Despite everyone's frustrations with this book, I think it's quite entertaining. I think Gavin and Judy have a long road ahead of them. If/when they're able to finally get on the same page, they still have to deal with his mom. Not to mention Judy has to reconcile with Matthew after abandoning him when she promised she wouldn't; and face Irene with the news that she's carrying a new sibling. Lol, Levi is the least of their concerns. Then there's having the baby. Pretty sure Gavin has untreated trauma associated with Irene's birth. My thoughts are, just be patient, find other books to read in between and enjoy the ride. I think it'll be good....
Anyone Know where we Can Read all of this book 2 chapters a day is a joke And waiting is killing me I’ll just want to end this book !!...
I never really read these books, but came across this one and annoyingly got hooked. Do these books just go on forever with no resolution? As if so, I’m going to call it a day and write my own ending lol...
Lovely… I just found this book Friday and I’ve finished all that here. How often do they release more and how much at a time?! I’m invested....
So Spencer was “in love” before he even meet her? I used to wake up and read this book but now I let days go past before I read the chapters...
Well heres to the next 300 pages of this never ending story because now Gavin is going to have to save her before Spencer does something even more stupid because Judy is to weak to do anything for herself apparently....
3 chapters we didn't need. Already guessed Spencer was working with Levi and that the attacks were also Levi...
I think of all the things that bother me the most about the rushed writing is the inconsistencies. Judy and Nans room number was initially 606 when they checked in at the island resort for the Gamma Competition, but then was suddemly 906 - which turned out to be needed information later. When they first met, Judy went to Gavin's office the next day and told him about her father's imprisonment and her need for money, but then later the author made it sound like Gavin had no idea. She won 5 million for takimg first in the competition but then it was eluded to her not have much money and needed cash from the additional tutoring job with Lukas and the position in Levi's elite force. Honestly, the wishy-washy writing makes it feel like Gavin is less of a strong leader and more like he has so much personal drama he cant keep anything straight. It feels like Judy is weaker than the author has intended, as well. I feel like Rachel's return could have been tightened up with more details around her time Gavin instead of making Judy out to be a bit pathetic and desperate for just a sliver of Gavins attention. Her pregnancy was also disappointing because of the rushed plot, the author seemed to have forgotten that Judy gave her virginity to Gavin and no other sexual partners were introduced for her - so who the father of her baby was shouldn't have felt like such a surprise - it felt a bit insulting to her vibe and the character build throughout the hundreds of unnecessary chapters. I believe if the author spent a little more time and cleaned up some of the events with pertinent and necessary details and remove the oddities of over-the-top pieces (like the shower gel and cologne that appeared out of nowhere for Gavin in Judy's condo) this storyline could really be something great and intriguing for readers....
