ETHAN

The 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 fr

    ETHANThe room was silent, with only the opening song from the movie sounding lightly in the background. Leander stared at the screen. His gaze remained emotionless, making it impossible for me to understand if he also wanted to watch the movie at all. "Should I change it?" "What?""I mean, would you prefer to watch horror or historical movies?" Men seemed to prefer that to romantic dramas. Leander glanced at me. "Do you want to watch those?" His cold eyes pierced mine, slightly probing. My lips parted, but no reply came. I slowly looked away. "No. But you can tell me..." "I'll watch whatever you want." My lips trembled. The movie began. It was a romantic movie following the life of a university student. A fertile man and a fellow senior. It was love at first sight for the fertile man, but the senior had a girlfriend. Selfishly, the fertile young man seduced the senior and even went as far as drugging his drink. My brows furrowed as I watched him secretly mix something in

"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

    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

    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

    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

    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 lear

    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
