Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 840

Judy’s POV

Tears filled Cora’s eyes, which surprised me. I looked at Gavin, who gave me the same look in return, both of us confused by Cora’s sudden mood shift and teary eyes. I thought about reaching out and comforting her because that was in my natural instinct.

“I have never told this story to another living soul,” Cora admitted as she wiped away a fallen tear on her cheek. “But looking at you… seeing how much you look like her… I know you are the person I need to tell this story to, or you’ll never know who you truly are.”

“What story?” I asked, my voice coming out barely above a whisper; I feared what I was going to learn today.

“The story about what I had done…” she said softly, her eyes shifting to her hands, which were folded on her lap. She was nervous, that much was clear, and I found my heart beating faster than normal.

I was nervous too.

“Okay…” I said, cautiously. “What exactly did you do?”

She sniffled and remained silent for a while; I didn’t think she was going to talk again, but she took a deep breath and lifted her gaze to meet mine.

“When I was a little girl, I was in the car with my parents and my best friend, Ivy,” she said, stuttering on Ivy’s name as it pained her to speak out loud. “Ivy and I were in the backseat, goofing around. My powers had just started to come through, and Ivy thought it was the coolest thing; she’s never met anyone with powers before, and she wanted to see how they worked. I knew I shouldn’t have been playing around with something I barely understood… I was old enough to know better… but I didn’t listen to my intuition, and I started to show off some of the powers I discovered I had.”

My heart thudded rapidly against my chest as nerves fluttered in my belly.

“I knew better…” Cora whispered, more tears filling her eyes. “I lost control of my powers that night, and I couldn’t reel them back in… they were too powerful, and I was too new and afraid. By the time my parents realized what was happening… it was too late. The car crashed over the side of the bridge we were driving on and went straight into the ocean…”

My heart stopped in my chest.

“Oh no…” I whispered.
