ETHAN

I watched as Vesper entered the dining room with a small smile on his face.

He had changed into long pants and a black top. It was casual wear that looked perfect on his tall figure.

He approached and took my hand in his. "You don't need to change. Let's go."

My brows creased.

I glanced at the hand he held and then at Leander, who had returned his attention to his phone.

Displeasure flashed across my eyes.

I removed my hand from his and stood up. "Leander, are you going with us?" M

    ETHANNick was sitting in the sitting room while Vesper was nowhere to be found. Remembering where I left him earlier, I realized he might still be in the dining room. He probably hadn't noticed Nick's presence or was pretending not to. Nick's eyes settled on me the moment I got to the sitting room, and he quickly stood up. He was dressed in a pink sweatshirt and white pants. He had his long hair tied to the back, revealing his full face while also making his sad expression more prominent. He rushed over to me but stopped only a few steps away. "Ethan..." His tone was filled with reluctance. "I'm sorry, okay?" "I didn't mean it that way yesterday. I didn't intend to annoy you, and I had no idea it would look that way." He raised his hands in the air. "I was only discussing your wedding with him." "Believe me, please." I listened calmly and walked past him. Sitting down, I crossed my legs and lowered my eyes to fiddle with my fingers. Nick followed. He stood before me as he c

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 28: "GOOD NIGHT."

    ETHANHearing his words, I found it hard to recover the smile on my face, and I couldn't help but turn around. Last life's memory kept replaying in my head like a serial drama. "My love." "Honey." "Hubby." The words kept ringing in my head. It was noisy, uncomfortable, and suffocating. I pressed a hand on my chest, rubbing roughly. "I... need to change," I muttered, trying to suppress my tone to make me sound shy. Without waiting for him to reply or even confirming if he noticed anything wrong, I hastened away, unable to stay any longer before him. My hand remained on my chest, rubbing continuously as I tried to shut off the replaying memories in my head. My steps almost faltered. A low chuckle from behind me made me frown momentarily. A glow appeared in my eyes. Vesper believed I was shy. I slowly breathed in relief. That was great. My earlier reaction had been too intense, and Vesper could have easily found out something was wrong. If he thought back to what I did las

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 27: THE GROUP

    ETHANAfter being motivated, Vesper stopped thinking too much and began eating the already cold meals. I watched him eat for a while as my mind wandered. The urge to call Leander was getting stronger...Unable to hold it on anymore, I stood up. "I'll be back," I said to Vesper, who was staring at me with questioning eyes. He straightened up. "Do you need something? I will get it for you." He offered. I shook my head. "I need to change." Pointing to my bathrobe, I shook my head. "I can't keep staying in this for long." Vesper nodded slowly. His eyes sized me up, stopping on my slightly exposed chest, and a familiar emotion appeared within his eyes. He swallowed the food in his mouth and pushed back the plates. "Baby," He called. My jaw locked. I could guess what he wanted to say. "We haven't consummated our wedding..." He paused and smiled. My eyes wavered. Indeed, it was already the third day after our wedding. "I know." Vesper seemed like he was ready to stand up. "Shoul

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 26: DECEIT

    ETHANGabriel served me while I ate. The meal was indeed delicious, and somehow, it reminded me of the dishes I ate in my past life. Vesper wouldn't often cook as he was mostly busy with his office work... or so he said to me. But whenever he did, I used to fully enjoy it. He once told me he learned to cook because his father hated to eat outside, and he was hoping to please him. He would blabber on about how Leander at first scolded him for doing something unnecessary and then finishing the badly cooked meal he had first made. He even talked about how Leander had rewarded him instead of scolding him for the badly made food. The pride on his face whenever he talked about it made him seem like a son who truly loved and respected his father. It was also one of the reasons I became closer to Leander, hoping to tighten the relationship between father and son. Thinking about how easily I had been fooled into believing he was a filial child back then, I couldn't help clicking my tong

  • 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 I could easily find out by checking my phone.Bringing out the phone from my pocket, my frown deepened when I saw the caller. The name "Bestfriend" glared back at me, ruining my already bad mood. I stared at the screen for a moment, wondering whether to end the call or answer it. Remembering what happened yesterday at the bar, I could vaguely guess why he called. I decided to answer the call."Ethan," his voice came out, restrained and pitiful. My lips twitched involuntarily. Nick was also born with a female constitution like mine. However, we were almost worlds apart in our personalities. Nick's voice and reactions were more like females. Especially when he tried to act pitiful. Li

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 24: FORCEFUL

    ETHAN Vesper's hand pinned my hands together, rendering me powerless as he gripped my chin and forced our eyes to meet. His breathing was heavy. His eyes were lost. He slammed his lips against mine. I gasped both in pain and shock. Anger, fear, disgust, and irritation mixed within me, giving me an overwhelming headache. I struggled furiously. "Ves... Vesper!" I tried to call, but it all drowned out with the kiss. My chest tightened. Liquid rushed up my throat, aching to be released. Vesper's hold tightened with my struggle. I tried to hit with my legs, but his legs had long restrained me, making any struggle futile. My heart raged, and my mind buzzed. What was I supposed to do? How was I supposed to escape this?My strength was nowhere comparable to his...With a long exhale, Vesper suddenly pulled away. His eyes were misty as he stared at me, his eyes searching mine. He opened his lips to talk. But taking that opportunity, I jerked his hands away from mine and forceful
