Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 849

Leaves rustled; the air shifted, and two figures emerged from the shadows as we reached the forest grounds.

I knew right away that it was Daisy Baldwin; her eyes were wide as she stepped forward, and then I saw Lila standing beside her. Something started to glow in the cloth she was holding.

Daisy’s eyes widened even more when she saw it glowing.

“So… it’s true then,” she whispered.

Lila shook her head, tears filling her eyes.

“No… it can’t be… I’m the heiress. I’m the one the gem belongs to,” Lila tried to argue, but Daisy curled her lip.

“Clearly not,” Daisy practically hissed. “I told you something wasn’t right, Lila. I told you that the gem doesn’t respond to you in the way that it should. It burns you for crying out loud. It isn’t normal… It’s not your blood that it wants; it’s hers. It glowed more than it ever glowed when she was at the manor; you saw it just as you see it now. it wants her… It’s her. She’s the heiress.”

“How is that possible…?” Lila asked, continuing to shake her head. “It shouldn’t be possible.”

“But it is,” Daisy said, folding her arms across her chest. “Levi Churchill had told me once that things aren’t as they seem. I didn’t know what he meant at the time, but now I do.”

“Enough of this,” Gavin said, stepping closer to me, his protection wrapping around me like a cozy blanket. “You wanted to speak with her, and now she’s here. Say what you must, and then we will be on our way.”

Daisy narrowed her eyes at us, and then her eyes found mine.

“Your blood will activate this gem… and then we will all get what we want,” she said, her eyes pouring into mine. “Please… you have to help me.”

“Help you?” I asked, finally finding my voice. “Help you with what?”

“And face a death wish?” Daisy asked, raising her brows. “They knew the consequences.”

The gem started to glow even more, and I felt myself being pulled towards it; it was a hypnotizing feeling, and I struggled to keep myself grounded.

“There has to be more to it,” Gavin said, his lip curling as he glared at Daisy. “What more do you want?”

“Freedom is all I ask for. I have been tied to Noah Blackwell for far too long… doing his bidding, being his side piece, and tied to him in more ways than I can count. He has a rare gift where he can mate with multiple women, and it makes me want to die every single time. I can’t live like that anymore… I can’t….”

“You selfish bitch!” Lila snapped, her fury getting the best of her, and she was just about to slap Daisy in the face for betraying her, but then she screamed out in pain and dropped the gem to the ground, her hands red from the burn.

I stepped back, not sure what had just happened, but then the gem flew at me so fast that I could hardly grasp it. Gavin was quick to move and tried to grab it before it reached me, but it was too late. It jabbed my shoulder blade, and I screamed out in pain as I fell to the ground. I felt the warmth of my blood seeping through my shirt, and Gavin’s scream was the last thing I remembered hearing before everything faded to black.
