POV Gabriel

Even from a distance, I could feel the toxic energy radiating off Helena. She lunged at the papers, one by one, crumpling them between her fingers, and two seconds later, she was on top of Uncle Henry, pounding at him like she wanted to fuse his body with the evidence he’d just brought forward.

Everyone in the room sat frozen, stunned by the family conflict unfolding in front of them. I stepped between the two of them, gripping my mother to force her to stop immediately.

A roar tore

  • Seducing my daughter's dad   Chapter 95

    POV ClariceThe air inside the private jet was hard to breathe. Charlotte slept beside me so beautifully that not even the turbulence could make me look away from her, not for a single second.When I told her I was her mother, how would she react?I turned that thought over for far too long while the silence on the plane felt unsettling. Everyone was asleep except me.My stomach twisted into a tight knot when I looked at Gabriel. He didn’t look anything like the ruthless CEO I used to hear about in the circles I moved in back when I was a major businesswoman. He was unlike anything I could have imagined.I needed this marriage as much as he did, and surely we both believed it would be nothing more than a contract, but my eyes had been resting on him far too long, watching his chest rise and fall, remembering the countless times he’d been kind and tender with me, a foolish smile spreading across my face.Exactly as it was happening right now.I shook my head nervously the moment I real

  • Seducing my daughter's dad   Chapter 94

    POV ClariceGabriel climbed into the car, telling the driver to put my things in the trunk and head home. Instantly, my blood ran cold.I touched the door handle, and it felt like history repeating itself: my body thrown backward, the heat, the sparks."Are you okay?" His hands on my shoulder made me flinch. It was the exact sensation I felt when someone pierced my arm with a needle.It was the poison coursing through my veins at the exact speed the fire had struck me."I'm fine," I said, though my body barely obeyed.I got in, clutched the upholstery, and closed my eyes. I had to repeat to myself that it wouldn't happen again. Even so, I jumped when Gabriel got in on the other side, slammed the door, and the car pulled away."What happened to the bodyguard?" I asked, catching him off guard. His brow furrowed. "The man who was with me on the day of the accident."His lips parted, his face taking on unmistakable traces of concern and regret. I understood everything instantly."Unfortun

  • Seducing my daughter's dad   Chapter 93

    POV ClariceA nervous laugh escaped my throat, tearing it in two."It's just a coincidence," I tried to stop laughing, but couldn't. "I mean, we all have someone who looks like us somewhere in the world."Gabriel stopped brushing my hair for a moment. His hands froze in the air, and I regretted saying that the very next second—worse still, saying it after that long, telling pause between answers.Why hadn't I stayed quiet?Why couldn't I keep my damn mouth shut?"Maybe you're right," his hand went back to gliding through my hair at the same speed my heart was pounding, "but I'd doubt that if I didn't know Charlotte's mother died in childbirth."Damn it! I squeezed my eyes shut. I wanted to disappear, or better yet, make Gabriel disappear. I was stretching the rope, knowing that sooner or later it was going to snap right in my face."Speaking of Charlotte, I told her we got married."I spun around to look at him, impatient. My feelings were raw; a mix of fear, doubt, and indignation al

  • Seducing my daughter's dad   Chapter 92

    POV ClariceThe day blurred by as I stared at the white walls of the hospital room. After Frank left, the solitude and silence of the hospital helped me sort out my thoughts and calm my heart.I had fallen asleep convinced that I was completely alone again, and that the only thing keeping me on my feet was the love I had for Charlotte.I woke with a start, sweat trickling down my forehead, faint morning light spilling through the glass window, my eyes taking their time to adjust. I had no idea how many hours I had slept, but judging by my body’s slow, aching reaction, it had been a long time.My mouth was so dry my throat felt raw. I rolled onto my side to grab the glass the nurse had left there the day before, only to find Gabriel asleep on the room's sofa.His expensive suit jacket draped over his arms, his head tilted to the side, his jaw shadowed with stubble.When had he arrived without me noticing?Was I so exhausted I hadn't even heard him move?I watched him sleep as I slowly

  • Seducing my daughter's dad   Chapter 91

    POV ClariceMy eyes stayed fixed on the door, waiting for the moment it would open and I’d see Frank walk through it. I never imagined I’d miss Frank this much, let alone ache to see him this desperately.Ever since our last conversation, I couldn’t stop thinking about him, about the words he’d said to me, unable to find a moment of rest.After three years working side by side to find my daughter, it felt strange hearing him say he didn’t want to see me anymore.It had been unsettling watching him confess he was in love with me.I tried to push that last part away, even though it was hard, facing Frank again, knowing exactly how he felt about me. The very last thing I wanted was to hurt him for not feeling the same way back.Frank could be unbearable sometimes, but he was a brilliant detective, and he’d been the only real friend I’d had these past few years.I couldn’t let him go.The door handle turned, and I’d been staring at that exact spot for so long I thought I’d imagined it, bu

  • Seducing my daughter's dad   Chapter 90

    POV Gabriel“I shouldn’t even be here.” That was the first thing he said to me the second I walked up. “What’s so important that Skay needs to tell me?”I cleared my throat and closed my eyes, trying to focus on that conversation instead of what had just happened with Helena. Everything was moving too fast for me to keep up.“The police are going to investigate the attack on Scarlet.” I said, though that wasn’t where I should have started. “She doesn’t want the police involved because they might uncover her secret.”Frank stared at me, startled, then laughed. His lips curved to one side of his face before he ran a hand over it, wiping the amusement away instantly.“What are you talking about?” He stepped closer, whispering. “What secret do you think Scarlet’s hiding?”“You don’t need to pretend, Frank, she already admitted she has a secret.” His face went pale. “And from everything I can tell, you already know exactly what that secret is.”It was his turn to close his eyes and tilt hi
