Getting to the room, I fell limply into bed and closed my eyes.My breathing soon became steady.The day had been truly long and stressful. I felt weak both mentally and physically.After dragging my body to a proper position in bed, I forced my eyes open and picked up my phone.I'd already forgotten what I intended to do today because of the issue with Vesper and Nick.I yawned lazily as I propped my body against the bed

REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 40: HOLDING BACK
ETHANI had been too naive. Nick had been a hidden snake in my past life, someone who kept a stable facade in front of me till the last moment. It made me forget he was an actor, a veteran actor at that. I held my stomach and laughed loudly. Naive. I really had been too naive. Why was I feeling reluctant to ruin him earlier? Why was I feeling uncomfortable watching him cry when he was being humiliated by the director and producer?Stupid. I was really stupid and dumb.This person... this best friend was a murderer, and he didn't only kill a person. He owed me two lives!Two fucking lives!My veins grew, and anger surged within me. The murmurs in the hall had silenced, or maybe I just couldn't hear them anymore. Stepping closer to Nick, I raised my hand to slap him back.... He flinched, eyes staring at me as if he'd been expecting the slap. Just when my palm was close to his cheek, I abruptly stopped and took a step back. "Acting, huh?" My voice was low with anger. "I see you r
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 39: A VICTIM?
ETHANAfter Nick finished the audition, the room quietened, and without wasting Nick's time, the producer decided to speak up. He gestured for him to get off the stage while ordering that no one was to enter the room for a while. Nick's face lit up. He stepped down the stage really quickly, winking at me. He walked toward the producer and the director. The director raised the script, opening it to the second page. The thick paper made a rustling sound in the room, and for a moment, my eyes stayed glued to it. Yes, this would be my first-ever active attack in this life. However, it wasn't enough. It was merely the beginning. Nick's lips trembled as he also stared at the script. The director cleared his throat. "Mr Nick, right?" Nick nodded frantically. Losing his cool was a rare sight, even for me as his close friend. "Yes. Yes. I'm Nick. Teacher, please, go on."I felt the urge to laugh out loud. Who calls their director a teacher? Well, perhaps that was the way of the entertai
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 38: AUDITION
ETHAN The thought finally brought a genuine smile to my face, and my earlier weariness dissipated. Though it was dangerous and might leave me sick in the stomach every day, it was still a good move at the moment. Fighting with someone as experienced as Vesper and Nick, attacking them head-on might backfire, too. Especially with Nick being an actor and being able to control public opinion. I wouldn't want to fall into their trap. No, in this life, they could only be the ones to suffer. I couldn't, and I wouldn't suffer. I watched patiently as the people walked in and out, auditioning, thanking the judges, and leaving their names as they filed out of the room. Soon, someone stepped in. A familiar actor. My brows creased. This was Raviel, Nick's ultimate rival in the future. The two were always fighting over an award or drama. Honestly, Raviel was more of an actor than Nick, and he was even more good-looking, but because Nick had the support of my family and Vesper's, Raviel wa
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 37: CONFUSION
ETHANMy butt grew hot on Leander's lap. Embarrassment crept to my cheeks, turning them red and burning. My eyes wavered. Leander's eyes remained narrowed, his emotions unreadable, and his hand on my waist tightened. "What are you doing?" His voice was etched with warning. My chest heaved, on the verge of an explosion. Forcing myself to look back into those profound and unreadable eyes, my fingers curled, and my stomach lurched. I swallowed an imaginary lump in my throat and forced a smile. However, I had no idea what I really felt inwardly. I was wrong. Leander didn't love me...The realization should make me happy, right?"I was testing the ground. We are doing something deeper tomorrow, aren't we?" I tried to sound as composed as I could. "By the way, we've also done it yesterday. Why are you so rigid?" With that, I stood up, laughed awkwardly, and began arranging my suit. Leander was silent. With my back turned to him, I had no idea what his expression was or what was g
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 36: CURIOSITY
ETHANLeander'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 pressing gently. Leander gripped my right hand. He raised his head to look into my eyes. His blue eyes stared into mine. Unreadable. Almost indifferent. "Don't." He warned. I stared back, resisting the urge to back off. "I want to." My lips curled. "You have a headache, don't you? Let me give you a warm massage." I offered. Leander's fingers tightened against mine. An unknown emotion flashed across his eyes for a moment. His lips pressed into a thin line. "I don't need it." His voice was low. Al
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 35:
ETHANOnly when I got inside did I remember that it was my first time coming to the office in this new life. In my past life, I had visited Leander in the office several times for different reasons. But in this life, I hadn't. I recently married his son, and before marriage, we weren't exactly that close. Even if we were, I wouldn't visit him in the office without a proper reason. After going through different stops, I finally sat in the assistant's office, waiting for him to finish his meeting. His assistant only glanced at me once before he continued with his job. He didn't know me well enough to let me into the boss's office. He also didn't want to disturb the boss's meeting. I could only sit there patiently, waiting for Leander to be done. An hour passed. Two hours. Three hours. My butt began to ache. I raised my head to look at the assistant, who was still working away. "Excuse me, when will he be done?" It was taking too long. The assistant coughed awkwardly. He picked
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 34: BUTTERFLY EFFECT
ETHANThe thought of the audition kept my mind fully occupied all morning. So much that I couldn't listen to the words Nick and Vesper said. After a while, I pushed aside the plates and stood up. "I'm leaving." Nick raised a brow. "Where?" I glanced at him, and my expression remained casual and
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 33: AN AUDITION
ETHAN The thought was on my mind even as I closed my eyes to sleep. It weighed heavily on my mind. I tried hard to remember how we met and the things we'd done together. However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find a reason for him to hate me this much. We've fought several times in the
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 32: RECORDING
ETHAN*I felt weak all over, unwilling to stand up to follow. The thought of waking up to go to the office the next day kept me in bed for a few minutes. Different thoughts ran through my mind. From leaving it to gather the evidence later, to calling Gabriel to take their videos. But I knew more
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 29: LOWLY
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 ro
