All Chapters of Seducing my daughter's dad: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

POV GabrielI was so focused on getting Skay to come with me that I never noticed the man near the hospital entrance snapping photos; only the flash blinding my vision caught my attention.I lunged toward him and ripped the camera out of his hands. The man stumbled backward, losing his balance and falling, startled. I deleted the memory card and handed the camera back, leaning in to give him an order:“If a single photo of this moment shows up on social media, in any magazine, or in some gossip rag, you’re going to regret ever crossing my path. Do you understand?”He stammered, nodded his head so awkwardly it looked like it might come loose from his neck entirely. Once I saw he’d understood exactly what I meant, I pulled back, only then realizing I’d still been holding Skay this entire time.When I finally let go of her, she rubbed her wrist and winced. She got into the car in silence, curling up in the passenger seat while I drove us home. Her posture, calm, unsettled me, because I k

POV GabrielAlone in the office, I stared at the papers scattered across my desk, trying to piece together everything I’d just heard. I’d been standing there for ten minutes, my gaze unfocused, running through every possibility.From the very first moment I saw Scarlet, I felt something different about her. She carried a mystery around her, one I still couldn’t name. Now I knew Skay was hiding some enormous secret, and there was only one way to uncover it: pulling her closer to me.Two minutes later, I asked the housekeeper to call Scarlet to my office.“She hasn’t come down yet, sir.” She shrugged, her posture practically radiating pleasure at delivering that news. I cut her satisfaction short the next second.“Scarlet slept here at the mansion last night, so I guarantee if you check Charlotte’s room, you’ll find her there.”The housekeeper’s eyes went wide, staring at me. Shock spread across her face. She didn’t say a word, just wiped her hands on her apron like she’d just finished

POV EmilyThe scene of Gabriel throwing me out of his house had haunted my mind for days.His words, saying he’d marry his daughter’s nanny, tortured me like a chain shackled around my feet, holding me back from.I still had nightmares about the night I got left at the altar, about the stories circulating on social media, painting me as the rejected woman. It had been the greatest humiliation of my entire life, one that would take forever to fade. The moment everyone found out Gabriel had dumped me for his daughter’s nanny, it would be the end of me.I refused to let that happen.I wasn’t going to let Gabriel marry that woman, wasn’t going to hand her the right to enjoy everything that belonged to me. The spot in his bed. Being Charlotte’s mother. Being the woman at the center of his life.I was the one who insisted Helena meet me at the coffee that morning. I shouldn’t have ever wanted to see her again; I never should have agreed to her plan to get rid of Charlotte. Because of that,

POV ClariceTwo things were happening on this day.I’d nearly gotten arrested over a dress, and now I was wearing that very same dress, getting ready for a dinner about to take place in the mansion’s garden.I caught my reflection in the mirror and barely recognized myself. It had been ages since I’d worn designer clothes, ages since I’d forgotten who I really was.I’d done my makeup with a few products I always carried in my purse. Some habits never die, not even in a whole new life.I’d already checked my reflection about a dozen times while getting Charlotte ready for bed. She stayed quiet as always, rarely met my eyes, kept ignoring me most of the time. In that moment, I wasn’t in the mood to try to change any of that.I simply laid Charlotte down on the bed, tucked her in with her imported fiber blanket, and wished her a good night.Silence was all she offered back. Charlotte wasn’t just my daughter, she was the whole reason I never gave up. If I were still alive, it was because

POV GabrielI walked so fast toward my office that I never noticed Uncle Henry following me. I wanted to escape everything I’d just done. Forget the taste of the kiss I’d given Scarlet.“What are you doing, Gabriel?” His hand landed on my shoulder, though it didn’t stop me from opening the office door and walking in. “You just got married, and you’re locking yourself away in this office?”Pretending I hadn’t heard a word he said, I sat down, pulled off my tie, and unbuttoned my white shirt. My whole body burned, drenched in sweat, even though the air outside sat cold.“This marriage is a farce, Uncle Henry.” I finally met his eyes. “You should be out celebrating, since I just did exactly what you wanted. The inheritance is coming to me, and you’re about to make my mother furious.”“And the kiss you gave the nanny?” He pulled out the chair and sat down across from me. “Was that a farce, too?”My confidence faltered for the tenth time as he paused, waiting for my answer. What could I po
