Seducing My Ex's Father In Law

Taylor left a moment later, not lingering in the bathroom, which I was grateful for.

Once I finished in the shower, I stepped out and wrapped a towel around my waist. The clothes Taylor grabbed for me weren't anything special, but they didn't need to be.

I brushed out my hair using the brush that was on the counter and took another look at myself in the mirror. Though the blood was gone, I still looked unrecognizable. I had dark circles under my eyes as if I hadn't slept in a long time.

I guess I didn't.

With everything that happened since the party yesterday, I hadn't had a moment to myself to just rest. I was on the go since yesterday, and I hadn't stopped moving. I was fucking exhausted.

I quickly got dressed after the rest of my body dried. The bloodied clothes were gone, so I knew Taylor had taken them. When I stepped out of the bathroom, the scent of Ethan only slightly lingered.

His body was gone, and the blood that stained the ground was no more. I was relieved to see that.

My eyes shifted to Judy, who was lying in the hospital bed, a bandage covering her wrist and an IV drip in her other wrist.

Elizabeth was giving her an ultrasound and saying something that wasn't registering in my head because all I could think about was how beautiful my mate was. Judy's eyes were on me as I approached her.

Elizabeth finally noticed me.

"The baby is okay,” she assured me. “A strong heartbeat. There's nothing to worry about."
