ETHAN

Leander 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 an

    ETHAN My heart raced so fast that it felt like it was about to escape from my chest. No matter how hard and deep I thought, I couldn't come up with a way to avoid Vesper removing the boxer. When I lowered my eyes again, I was fully naked on his lap, and his eyes were fixed on my body. I couldn't see the look in his eyes, yet it made me eerily uncomfortable. I knew it was nothing good. His fingers tightened on my waist, and underneath my butt, I could feel something pushing hard against me. I flinched. Vesper laughed in a low voice. "I'm sorry." He whispered. His breath hit my ear. "I wish I remembered everything." "Ugh," He bit my earlobe. "You have such a great body, baby." Right. He hadn't seen my body at all in this life. Thinking about it again, he had been so obsessed with my body in our last life that even after pregnancy, he still wouldn't let me rest. It took the family doctor a few visits to his office before he controlled himself. With the thoughts resurfacing

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 66: LIES

    ETHANMy heart raced so fast that I felt Vesper could hear it. My fingers clenched tightly under the blanket. Thoughts ran through my head. What was I supposed to say?How should I convince him?I hadn't thought of a situation like this. Initially, I had been worried that he might not be convinced, so I planned to endure some intimacy but knock him out before he went deeper. However, when I saw through Nick's plan to drug Leander, I felt excited, thinking I should have done that sooner. A drugged person wouldn't remember much, especially after drinking so much that he was almost drunk and sleepy. But it seemed I was wrong. He remembered everything. He even knew he wasn't the one who left the marks. I closed my eyes. Would I really have to divorce him and attack him from the outside? Then, the world would wonder why I did it. They would paint me and call me names. It would be difficult to get closer to Leander, too, as his reputation would also be ruined along with mine. Our we

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 65: BEAST

    LEANDER He left. Watching as he closed the door behind him, I lost all interest in sleeping any longer and decided to stand up. The bed was a mess, and so was the trash can at the side. My brows creased slightly. I'd never been the one to do these things in the past. Why did I touch him here?No, why did I touch him at all?Looking at my fingers, which wouldn't stop trembling, I knew this was trouble. I'd tried to avoid him well enough. I'd been avoiding him for years already. He was too young. He was in love with another. He could never be mine. Even now, he only saw me as a tool. Perhaps to make Vesper love him more? That didn't seem right. He knew Vesper was cheating. Whether this was revenge, punishment, or something else entirely, I couldn't tell. But I had become part of Ethan's plan.I walked toward the bathroom, pushing my fingers through my hair as my expression turned complicated. What would happen next? After touching him once and waking up with him by my side, wo

    ETHANThe alarm rang loudly in the room. Stretching my hand, I swiped it off. RING~~~~~It came again. I hissed and turned the phone over. It automatically stopped. Finally regaining a peaceful moment, I shifted closer into the warm and firm embrace and resumed sleeping. "Ethan." A deep and magnetic voice called. The call was distant, yet it rang really close to my ears.I frowned and nestled deeper into the embrace. It was so comfortable. "Ethan? It's almost morning." The voice came again. I felt displeased. "I know," I replied grudgingly. It wasn't morning, right?Then what was the disturbance all about? But the voice seemed persistent. "Vesper will wake up soon. Your plan." My eyes snapped open. I stood up roughly in bed, almost falling back from the pressure. "Right. You're right." My voice was weak. Blinking, I tried to push back the sleepiness in my eyes. "I should leave." It was more for myself. I picked up my phone to check and realized it was thirty minutes pa

    ETHAN Leander pulled my feet, drawing me closer to himself, and his lips caught mine again. This time, the kiss didn't last for long, leaving me panting and desperate for more. He moved downward, placing kisses on my chest. "Mark me, Leander." I blurted out, panting heavily.Leander paused. "I want your marks all over me." He raised his head. His eyes betrayed a hint of surprise as he stared at me. "Vesper..."I smiled. "It's fine. I have a plan..." I paused immediately. Would Leander really be okay with me plotting against his child this way? But he agreed to the deal. He needed an heir. Which meant he didn't really like that useless and greedy adopted son of his. He probably didn't care, right?However, I still felt uneasy talking about Vesper around Leander...I closed my eyes and pushed my fingers through Leander's hair, trying to force out any unwanted thoughts in my heart. No Vesper tonight. No revenge, either. It was just Leander and me. This was what I owed Leander

    ETHAN I sat in bed, watching as Leander sat on the sofa, typing away on his laptop. My brows furrowed. What exactly was he doing? Did he not realize the reason I came to his room?Though the thought had been impulsive earlier, the moment I saw Leander going, I'd thought about the marks I wanted to show Vesper the next day. Leander was a good choice. With him, I wouldn't have to harm myself, and the plan would be even smoother. Wasn't that great?But there he was, sitting far away and working even though it was almost midnight, time for normal people to sleep. I frowned, feeling displeased and impatient. I stood up and approached him. Leander's fingers paused. "You're still awake?" My steps faltered, and I almost lost my footing. Really? He had no idea I was still awake?I bit my tongue and forcefully suppressed my anger. "Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Planning to leave me in bed while he worked. Was he trying to avoid me? He didn't go further last night either. What exac

    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

    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

    ETHAN My body suddenly fell backward. Fast. Sudden. A loud crack sounded within my body, and my eyes abruptly parted. I exhaled shakily. Shock and fear palpable in my silver orbs. Unable to control my emotions, I sat up and looked around even more curiously. I was in bed. If I hadn't reme

  • REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive.    CHAPTER 1: RECORDING

    ETHAN It was a sunny afternoon. Supporting my heavy belly, I stepped out of Leander's car with a small frown on my face. Turning around to look at him in the car, the frown on my face deepened, but I still bowed slightly as a form of respect. "I will take my leave now." I closed the car
