Falling For My Ex's Dad by Oma Green

Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Finding Out She Seduced And Played Me

Gabriel's POV

I gripped the edge of the desk in my home office, holding it firm like it was the only

thing keeping me grounded.

I needed to act. Needed answers. The damn truth

I grabbed my phone and hit the contact for Clayton-my PI.

He picked up on the first ring.

"Clayton," I growled the moment I heard the click.

"I was just about to call you," he replied, voice tight-strained in a way that was unusual.

"What did you find?" I demanded, not even bothering with a greeting.

There was a pause. "Gabe..." he began, and that hesitation told me everything.

Clayton never stalled. Never stumbled.

He was a blunt, straight-to-the-point bastard. If his tone had changed, I knew the news was going to rip through me like a blade.

"Just tell me," I snapped.

"This finding might shock you. I don't know how to"

"Bloody hell, speak, Clayton. Now!" I barked. His delay was shredding what little patience I had left. I already knew—I just needed him to confirm it.

"It's... it's going to hit hard." Another pause. Then finally-

"The man in the picture you sent me... he's your son. Adrian. And from everything I've found, both of you have been involved with the same woman. For months."

Silence. Deafening.

My heart wasn't just beating-it was slamming against my ribs like a war drum.

I didn't speak. I couldn't. Because I'd just seen it with my own eyes. Adrian in my kitchen, grinning like a fool while introducing her. Clairessa. Barefoot in my kitchen, like she fucking belonged there.
