Seducing My Ex's Father In Law by Caroline Above Story

Judy's POV

If someone told me a few days ago that I'd be moving back in with my parents, having spent almost a year living in the Landry mansion, I would have laughed. But here I was, putting the last of my boxes into my childhood room. Despite that, they once sold their home to the Cash family and then had it bought back by Gavin, my room remained the same. It was clear that the Cash family only bought this home to spite my family; they were planning on tearing down the property. I doubted they even stepped foot inside these walls, which irritated me beyond belief.

Beta Taylor and Gamma Eric helped bring my things in, but they had left after I took the last of my boxes inside.

I was lost in thought, staring around the room that used to be my safe haven... but now it seemed like a graveyard for the Judy I once was. I wasn't the same girl I was back in high school. I stared at all the pictures I had; there were not only pictures of me and Nan, but also photos of me and Ethan as well. Photos capturing the times I thought I was with my forever person... someone I never thought would hurt me, but did.

I sighed and put the photo face down; I probably should have come here to get rid of them a long time ago, but honestly, I kind of forgot about them. It's easier to forget about my old life when I was with Gavin, living in his mansion and growing into someone completely different.

"I know it's hard, but I'm glad to have you back," my mother said, leaning against the door frame.

Her eyes were soft and filled with compassion as she watched me turn down each photo that consisted of Ethan. She was the biggest advocate for Ethan for a long time, until she was forced to live in the Cash family manor and discovered their true colors. Now she hates him and his entire family more than anything; they were the reason my family was ripped apart for months. The reason my father had to face prison time and was beaten until the inch of his life. They were the reason she nearly lost her fated mate.
