REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 51: THEATER
ETHANThe question slipped out of my lips and left me surprised for a moment. But the expected regret never came. I looked into Leander's expressionless eyes, and my throat turned even drier. "I want to kiss you, can I?" This time, there was a lot more confidence in my tone. Leander reached out, holding my finger that had curled into his collar, and he gently pulled it out. "Your birthday... um..." I swallowed the rest of his words, kissing him forcefully and fervently. Leander seemed to freeze, not responding for a long time. But I didn't stop. I wanted to kiss him. I wanted to taste those lips again. I really wanted to... hold him. Perhaps it was the fertile period controlling my thoughts, but I really couldn't help it. My throat felt dry and uncomfortable. No matter how hard I drank, it never got better because what I desired wasn't water, but... Leander. I tilted my head and deepened the kiss. We had prepared to meet tonight anyway. He had prepared dinner, too, and celeb
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 50: DINNER
ETHANA clang from the kitchen. My steps paused. Turning around, I looked toward the kitchen. Was the cook preparing dinner for Leander?The thought came quickly. But knowing Leander, the only reason he would ask the cook to prepare something before he returned could only be for me. He probably thought I would be hungry. I felt amused at the thought. Leander looked so much like a detached man, yet his every action could make someone misunderstand his feelings. He kept making me feel like...I shook my head. Thinking too much into some things would land me in trouble sooner or later. It would be better to nip it in the bud now. I changed my destination, deciding to head to the kitchen to see what the cook was making. Stepping in, I froze. Standing in the kitchen was the familiar figure of the man I'd been thinking about. He stood tall beside a fully decorated table, a lighter flickering as he lit the birthday candles around the table. He was no longer the detached older man
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 49: A PLAN?
ETHAN My mind kept wandering back to the Sun Cafe, remembering the words Vesper and Nick were saying before they suspected my presence. Did that mean Vesper was there when Nick called me back then?Then, he must have heard everything I said, too. Fortunately, I didn't say much, and I wasn't harsh, either. My hand tightened on the wheels, eyes filled with conflict as the scene replayed in my mind. Vesper still trusted me. Though it was ridiculous and disgusting, it was still needed at this point. The next step would be to use this trust against him. But how? How could I do it without making him suspect me just yet?RINGThe sound of my phone ringing snapped me out of my thoughts, and lowering my eyes, I saw the screen flashing with Vesper's picture. My fingers hovered over the screen, unable to answer the call. Vesper called me so soon. Did he still suspect I was the one back there?I bit my lower lip, feeling even more conflicted. It wouldn't be strange if Vesper did. We'd been
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 48: CONFRONTATION
ETHAN Raviel also paused. His eyes were fixed behind me, seemingly watching the couple who should be approaching our side. My fingers involuntarily curled. "But Ethan doesn't. He hates me now." "The way he looked at me yesterday... He really hates me." "Stop. You slapped him first." "I said he was involved! Why won't you believe me? Ethan is the investor. You can ask the director and the producer." Sweat dampened my forehead. It wasn't because I was afraid of Vesper. I was afraid of my plans ending before they had even begun. If he saw me here with Raviel, every move I'd carefully arranged would crumble. I couldn't be caught here. My deal with Raviel had to remain a secret, and more than that, Vesper and Nick mustn't find out I already knew their little secret. My fingers clenched tightly. I lowered my head, trying to hide my presence while I silently wondered where they would sit. "Ethan isn't an investor." Vesper seemed to be defending me. But I found it so ridiculous t
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 47: SPONSOR
ETHANI had just stepped out of my car when my phone began ringing. It was a call from Nick. Seeing the name, I was surprised for a second. But it wasn't the right time to answer the call. So, I ended the call, kept the phone in my pocket, and locked my car. The phone rang again after a few steps. I raised a brow. It seemed he was more anxious than I'd expected. I brought out the phone, answered it, and placed it to my ear. "Hello?" My voice was cold. There was silence at the other end. The silence stretched long enough for my patience to wear thin.Raviel was waiting for me. Realizing I couldn't continue waiting for him, I resumed walking. Soon, I stood before the Sun Cafe, and the security man pushed the door open for me, inviting me in. Nick finally coughed lightly. "Ethan," his voice was strained, as if he were on the verge of tears. I laughed inwardly. Of course, he was used to getting his way through tears. Maybe that was how he also got Vesper's heart. His tears we
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 6: LETTING IT OUT
ETHANMy parents pushed back their seats and quickly approached. My mother's face turned red, and tears dropped freely from her eyes. "It's okay, son. It's really okay." She hugged me tightly. "Mum and Dad are always here for you." "Yes, son. You can always come back to us." My father's voice was
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 5: STOLEN MOMENT
ETHANStaring at Leander, my lips pressed into a thin line, and a hint of desperation showed in my eyes. This was a rare occurrence. Something I'd never expected. But it could also disappear at the twinkle of an eye if I fail to hold on to this man before me. He was my salvation. The only one wh
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 4: A DEAL WITH MY FATHER-IN-LAW
ETHANMy eyes searched his. An offer?Could it be money?I shook my head. My father-in-law was rich enough to rival my father's consortium and still be victorious. Why then would he need money from me, an heir who hadn't truly taken over?Looking into those hypnotic blue eyes, numerous ideas flas
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 3: A DRINK WITH MY FATHER-IN-LAW
ETHAN My body turned cold as the realization dawned on me. Leander, my father-in-law, had a fate with me? Maybe it wasn't really fate yet, but why else would the countdown stop when he was with me? I wasn't certain. Yet a strong pull emerged from my chest, urging me to find out whatever was g
