ETHAN

Staring at that familiar back, I couldn't help but think that something was wrong.

He wasn't standing right, and judging by the strong arm placed against the wall as if to support his body, I knew something was truly wrong.

I pushed back the confusion in my heart and rushed forward, quickly approaching him.

"Leander?" I called as I stood beside him.

Leander breathed haggardly.

His long fingers held his tie, and he was pulling hard on it as if trying to cut it off.

His handsome face

    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 eyes flicked over me. "You said your waist hurt." His voice was flat. My eyes widened. I lowered my eyes, glancing at my waist and then looking down at the number of stairs I had climbed without any issue. I could only smile awkwardly. "It doesn't hurt that much anymore." Leander stared longer. His eyes lowered to my feet, and without a word, he turned around to continue walking. I quickly breathed in relief. "Anyway, I'm not eating." "Oh?" "Yes. I'm not hungry. Let's talk about our deal instead." I rushed to meet up with him. "Have you agreed?" Leander's expression remained the same. He was quiet, too. I frowned slightly. "What are your thoughts?" Leander walked faster, leaving m

  • 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 heart. Did Leander believe my lies or not? What exactly was going on? It was my first time seeing him so gentle to someone, but what was even more unsettling was that it happened too suddenly. It felt like I was deliberately stepping into a trap with no sense of protection. What would happen to me when I finally get entrapped? My heart leaped. Strange excitement welled up in my chest. I wrapped my arms around Leander's neck and rested my head on his neck. He carried me inside that way. He gently placed me on an extremely soft sofa and stood upright. "Wait here for me." His voice was calm. I nodded, looking at his exquisite face. Leander left. It wasn't my first time in his house.

  • 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 most determined I'd ever been. Under those fiery eyes, the domineering aura from him, and the unbearable tension in the car, I held my ground. "If you want, I wouldn't mind triggering the memory." I added. Leander's eyes finally shifted. He tilted his head slowly. His lips curled, revealing a sly smile. "Really?" My body turned cold. I immediately tried to move backward, but Leander suddenly grabbed my waist and pulled me toward him. "I don't mind doing it again right now."With that, he moved closer. Our breaths were a few inches away from mixing. His lips loomed close... too close. My nerves tensed up. I stared at that face without blinking, waiting for him to stop, but Leander didn

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 19: GUILT

    ETHANI groaned as my eyelashes fluttered weakly. My cheeks hurt, and even my hands weren't spared. But hearing the movement beside me, I forced my eyes open and turned my head to look at the source. Leander was already awake. He was staring at his open shirt and stained pants with a frown on his face. His long fingers pressed against his temple. He seemed to be trying hard to remember what was going on, or maybe he was just suffering from a headache. After a while, he stirred. I immediately closed my eyes, pretending to still be in deep sleep. I didn't hear any movement afterward, but I could feel his gaze on me. The gaze was piercing with hidden emotions I couldn't clearly understand. Perhaps if I could open my eyes, I could understand...But I dared not. "Hello?" Leander's voice soon rang. My body tensed up. Was he calling me?"Find out who drugged me during the meeting last night and send me the details." "Yes. Get me a change of clothes. I'll wait in front of the bar."

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 18: "FUCK... TAKE IT IN."

    ETHAN As the thoughts ran through my mind, my body relaxed, and even the strength I'd mustered up in my arms disappeared. My lips parted, letting out low moans as Leander's fingers moved around my body. Guilt welled up in my chest. I knew Leander was drugged, and he probably had no idea what he was doing at the moment. I should push him away and take him to the hospital. I shouldn't let him commit a mistake he would wake up to regret tomorrow morning. But... I couldn't. Perhaps I never imagined I was this kind of a selfish person, but I indeed was. I wanted to live. I needed a reason to stay by his side. I needed him to stay alive, but Leander would never cross that line with him. For his reputation and his conscience, he would never accept my proposal. However, I was desperate. It felt like the heavens knew what it was doing when it allowed the mighty Leander to be drugged. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled my body up the car seat. I shifted closer to him and s

His long fingers held his tie, and he was pulling hard on it as if trying to cut it off. His handsome face was flushed red, and his lips were slightly pale. He glanced at me. His blue eyes lingered, and his brows creased as a hint of confusion showed within his eyes. "Ethan?" His voice was dangerously low. I nodded, honestly confused about what was going on. Leander shook his head. He rubbed his temple as he stepped forward, only for him to stagger. I quickly held his arm. "Are you okay? What's wrong with you?" Leander patted my hand weakly. "Help me to the hospital." His voice was even weaker t
