SEDUCING MY EX’S FATHER IN LAW - Season 5 Episode 88

Judy’s POV

I don’t remember leaving the villa; I don’t remember getting into my car. I have no idea how I managed to go from the villa back to my parents’ house. Everything was such a blur. I was in a daze when I got out of my car. My mother immediately ran out of the house, tears in her eyes and a horrified look on her face. My father stood at the doorway, his expression hard to read.

I knew without a doubt that they saw the news article and I was in some deep shit.

If they revoke my win from the competition, I would lose everything I worked so hard for. My stomach was in a complete knot, and I thought I was going to get sick

on the spot.

My mother was quick to wrap me in her arms as soon as I got out of the car.

“Please tell me it’s not true,” she whispered as she held me tightly. “Tell me you aren’t having relations with Gavin Landry.”

I wasn’t sure what to tell her; she would be able to see through this lie easily, and I didn’t want to have to lie to her anymore. I was tired of keeping this secret from my family; I was tired of having to sneak around behind their backs just so I could have sex with Gavin. I hated that this was happening… but I needed to come clean.

Though I knew what I needed to do, the words wouldn’t come to me.

“Let’s just get her inside so we can talk as a family,” my father said, turning his back on us and walking straight into the house.

My heart sank at his dismissive tone. My mother pulled away and wiped her moist eyes, nodding along with his words. She took my hand and pulled me along with her. Once we were inside, I felt suffocated. Like, there wasn’t enough space to breathe.

My mother sat with me on the couch as my father paced back and forth throughout the living room.

“Dad-”

He held up his hand to stop me. I clamped my lips shut, not knowing what to do in this circumstance.

After a few more moments of agonizing silence, he finally turned to look at me.

“Is that the reason he paid off my debt?” He asked. “Because you’ve been sleeping with him.”

“He would have done it regardless,” I blurted, my cheeks burning. “He didn’t do it just for me. He found out what happened, and he took the initiative to help.”

“Did you tell him?” My father asked, his eyes narrowed.

“No!” I nearly shouted, my defenses rising. “I didn’t tell him anything. He found out on his own.”

My father was quiet for a long while, his mind processing this information.

“Did you in the competition because of him?” He finally asked, his arms folding across his chest.

My heart shattered at his question.

“Richard!” My mother scolded before I had the chance to respond.

“Well, what am I supposed to think, Shelly?” My father shot back.

Tears burned in my eyes; I hated having this conversation. I hated that he didn’t

trust me… I hated that he was doubting me right now.

“I won because I’m good at what I do,” I said, my tone hardening as I narrowed my eyes at my father. “When it came down to the winner, Gavin Stayed out of the final vote because he didn’t want to provide a biased opinion. I didn’t even know he was going to be at the competition. He’s never gone to them before, and I didn’t think this one would be any different.”

My father stared at me for a long while, and then he sighed, his expression softening slightly.

“Have long have you been together?” My father asked through her tears.

“We are hardly together. We went on a few dates and kissed,” I half fibbed. Truth

be told, we did a lot more than kissing, but my parents didn’t need to know that fact.

“You and Gavin Landry is a recipe for disaster,” my father said, shaking his head. “Firstly, he’s too old for you. Secondly, he already has children. And third, you don’t fit into that kind of world, Judy.”

His words hurt more than I let on; I swallowed down the pain and stared at my hands that I was fiddling with.

“I know…” I whispered, my voice came out weak.

“It would be better if you no longer spoke to Gavin Landry,” my father said, his

tone firm, making me flinch. Before I had a chance to respond, his phone stared

to ring, interrupting the conversation.

When he glanced at the screen, his face paled.

Gavin’s POV

“I found out who sent the photos to the media,” Derek said as he walked into my office. I turned to face him waiting for him to continue. “I traced the IP address straight to Sammy Churchill’s phone. She deleted the physical photos, but I was able to recover them and sure enough, they were all there. There are more photos than you can imagine. She’s been watching you both the entire time you were at the competition and get this… Sammy is he black wolf that saved her during the competition. She was there at the same time, taking a photo when the attack happened. She accidentally pressed the video button as she dropped her phone. You can see her shifting and going to Judy’s rescue.”
