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

I walked to the bed, my posture stiff and my eyes narrowed.

"Rachel, what happened?" I asked her, trying to keep my tone calm.

"You shouldn't have freaked out," I told her, unable to hide my aggravation.

"You didn't come home!" she repeated, loudly.

"It's not your place to decide when I return to my home," I said through my teeth. You are a guest in my home, and you were disrespectful last night."

"I was busy."

She faltered for a moment, her eyes welling up with tears.

it because of her...?" Rachel asked, her eyes turning cold and almost calculating, causing me to freeze.
