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

Judy's POV

Gavin's mother lived in a manor on the other side of the pack; it was a smaller manor, but it was perfect for just one woman and her staff members to live there. Chester would speak about this home on occasions because sometimes he would be sent there to work in the kitchen when her head chef fell ill. He would say that despite Donna Landry's age, she still takes lovers like she were in her youth. She typically sticks with young men and often flirts with Chester as well, though he declines her advances. Even more so now that he's mated to my best friend.

Being near Donna's home gave me a sense of unease; I knew this woman couldn't stand me, and now that I was officially Gavin's mate and carrying his baby, I knew she was going to throw a fit. I just hoped that Daisy wasn't going to be here to witness it.

Daisy Baldwin and Donna Landry were close, and more often than not, Daisy would be found in Donna's home.

Erik pulled up the windy driveway; I noticed a marble water fountain of a Greek god in front of the manor. If that didn't tell you all you needed to know about Donna Landry, then I'm not sure what would.

The car stopped and I found myself staring up at the manor, my heart racing a thousand miles per hour and my palms growing sweaty with nerves. I felt the warmth of Gavin's hand enclosing mine, bringing me back to the present moment. I looked up at his earnest expression, and a small smile tipped the corner of his lips.

"It's going to be okay," he assured me. "Just stick with me."

I bit my lower lip, nibbling on it nervously, and I nodded, trying to steel myself before getting out of the car.

Gavin slid out of the car first, helping me out afterwards. Once we were both out of the car, he nodded at Erik, who gave him a subtle nod in return. Erik's eyes found mine, and the quirk of his brow made me realize that he understood how I was feeling. Erik had been by my side for a while since I started to work for Gavin, and he became my personal driver. He knew how I felt towards Donna Landry and how she felt towards me.
