ETHAN

Leander's eyes flicked over me.

He averted his gaze and pressed his thumb to his forehead... "Is that why you're here?" He sounded almost detached.

I nodded. Despite knowing he wouldn't see.

"No." He replied.

I expected that.

I covered my mouth and chuckled. "What do I have to do?"

Leander raised his eyes. "Nothing."

My lips pursed. He was really stubborn.

Standing up, I approached him and stood behind him. My fingers trailed from the back of his head to his temples, slowly pressi

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 46: NOT IN A HURRY

    ETHANGuess? Whoever wanted to guess could go ahead and do it. I wasn't ready for that. I smiled at my mum and gestured for her to start eating. Together, we picked up our cutlery and dug into the food.I hadn't eaten anything before leaving home in the morning and had been so troubled all morning. My stomach began to growl after leaving my mother's embrace. My father's anger grew when he realized no one was answering him. He knocked on the table, forcefully attracting my attention. "Didn't you say you want to take over the company?" I had a bad feeling. "Great. I've hired some professionals. They are business experts and can work as your assistants while you navigate the..." "Pause. Pause." I raised my hand, eyes flickering with fear as I looked at my old man. "I knew it!" Whenever he said the word "guess," it was never a good thing, and that was why I hadn't bothered to reply to him earlier. "Who needs professionals? I'm still so young and can fully focus on learning from

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 45: BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

    ETHAN"Oh my, why are you crying like a little child?" My mother sounded distressed as she reached out to wipe my tears. I bent closer, giving her the chance. My father snorted. "He's always a child." My lips pressed into a thin line. Disdain showed in my eyes as I rolled my eyes at him. "Says someone whose eyes are red, too." He flared up, waving the roses at me. He bared his teeth like they were fangs. "Who's crying? I'm a grown-ass adult. Why would I cry?" Snorting through the tears, "I didn't say you are crying, though. I only said your eyes are red." I pointed out. He stiffened. Awkwardly, he turned his head away and refused to say another word. I couldn't help but laugh again. My mother patted my cheek, wiping away the tears that fell while laughing. She looked helpless. "Stop teasing your father, little one." I couldn't accept it. "Why should I? He's so easy to tease." My mother chuckled. My father glared at me. "I'm taking my money bouquet away." I shrugged. "Who

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 44: ETHAN'S FEAR

    ETHAN My mood remained complicated even as I walked toward my father's office. My pinkie kept rubbing against my thumb, a sign of nervousness that I was unable to keep down. Different thoughts came to mind, but the most feasible of them all was telling Leander that I couldn't come tonight. Then, what about the countdown? My fertile period could last for six or more days. Would I continue putting him off for those days? What if he changed his mind? What would I do then?But... was I really ready to carry a child now? I touched my belly. My mood turned melancholic, and my eyes reddened slightly. Carrying a child really wasn't the issue, but what would keep me beside Leander after the child had been born? Moreover, could I really protect my child this time around?For a heartbeat, I felt like I had been thrown back to that moment. When Nick tripped me, I fell on my belly. The momentary double heartbeat... was it my child's? Or was it nothing more than an illusion? I closed my ey

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 43: DECORATIVE

    ETHANI walked down the stairs, taking in the decorations in the room. Our wedding album had even been hung up, finally making the house look like a newlywed's house. My steps echoed on the stairs, deliberate and slow, as if I were stepping on someone's heart. But Vesper continued kneeling. The slow sound of music filled the background, lending the moment a touch of romance and celebration. I felt the urge to laugh. Stepping on the last stairs, I finally stopped, and my gaze settled on him. Vesper's eyes wavered, and he slowly shifted forward. He didn't stand. Instead, he moved with his knees; his face was solemn, guilt written across his forehead. My lips twitched. I really wanted to curse. Suppressing the anger in my heart, I stared at him, waiting for his next words and actions. Vesper knelt before me and raised the flowers. "Baby, I knew I fucked up last night. I shouldn't have listened to Nick, I shouldn't have talked to you that way, and I shouldn't have forgotten your

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 42: ACTING

    ETHAN"What did he say?" I asked again, still enjoying the tiramisu. I really couldn't drop it for the life of me. Food or nothing. Vesper stared at me. His eyes regained their earlier conviction, and the anger seemed to return. "Nick is your friend. Even if he did something wrong to you. Do you have to ruin his dream this way?" "You know how much he loves filming, and you decided to take his role away. Why? You were never this ruthless, Ethan." He rubbed his forehead, and disappointment flashed across his eyes. "You've changed." He added. My lips pursed. Reaching out, I traced the slap marks on my cheek, and sadness flickered through my eyes. The rims of my eyes reddened. "He said I took his role away?" My voice was hoarse. "Why don't you ask if I have any right to decide anything in that setting?" "Aren't you the investor?" I laughed dryly. "Investor? Have I ever done anything without telling you?" Well, I have. But that was a matter for another day. "Invest in his drama?

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 41: BIRTHDAY

    ETHAN"Where are you, Ethan?" Hearing that term, my brows creased. I knew Vesper was angry. Funny. It was to be expected. After what happened to his lover, he would certainly want to confront me. But wasn't this what I wanted? If things didn't go this way, then I would have gotten that slap for nothing. I remained quiet. "Can't talk? Ethan? Are you even listening to me?" "I am. I'm on my way to the office." My voice was a little drawled out, a sign that I was exhausted and wasn't in the mood for a long conversation. "On your way? Tell me where you are, and I'll come pick you up.""Pick me up?" "Yes." I glanced at Lyn, whose eyes were fixed on the road, and I closed my eyes. "Okay." I took a picture of the building next to the road and sent it to him. "I'll wait for you." The call ended. A low sigh escaped my lips. "Mr Ethan, are you leaving?" "I'm sorry, but I think I heard you say you will wait for someone." "Hm. Vesper is coming to pick me up." Lyn smiled softly. It

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 25: THE CALL

    ETHANHearing my phone ringing from my pocket, I frowned for a moment. Could it be a call from Leander?That seemed impossible. Leander wasn't the type to call... moreover, he wouldn't even call me. Maybe it was from my parents. I shook my head lightly, wondering why I was thinking so much when

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 22: "OKAY."

    ETHANLeander said nothing. He walked past me. "The maids would be here soon to prepare breakfast. What would you like to eat?" I raised a brow. I could remember Leander didn't eat breakfast. "This is for me, isn't it?" My voice was soft. Leander paused. He turned around to look at me, and his

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 21: LEANDER'S SPACE

    ETHANI was shocked, looking at Leander with disbelief in my eyes as he carried me into his mansion. His steps were light, and his hand on my waist was slightly cold. In this position, his face was in full view, and his sharp chin was extremely smooth. I stared silently, thoughts swirling in my

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 20: "IT HURTS."

    ETHANLeander stared at me without blinking. It was hard to read what his thoughts were. My heart seemed about to explode, but I kept my expression focused. I knew deep within me that losing this opportunity would spell doom to me, and I didn't want to risk it. So, I stayed strong. It was the m
