REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 61: "HE DIDN'T."
ETHANAfter wiping my body and drying my hair, I stood before the mirror with a wry smile on my face. The bathrobe slowly fell down my waist, stopping at my ankle and sweeping the ground. My eyes remained fixed on my reflection through the mirror. The skin was smooth with no single sign of roughness. With a glance, it was certain that I hadn't been touched by anyone. My fingers ran across my neck, and my lips moved subtly. Why didn't Leander leave any mark on me last night?If I hadn't woken up in his place this morning, I'd have thought everything that happened was a dream. Despite all we did last night, not a single mark of his could be seen on me. The thought made me a little uncomfortable. My fingers tightened around the line of my neck, pinching lightly. When I lifted my fingers, a small red mark was left behind, purpling lightly and reflecting the redness of my face. It was painful. I couldn't believe that I would have to leave more marks like that around my body... no,
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 60: IT'S NOT LOVE
ETHANThey entered the elevator, and Gabriel pressed the button for the right floor. Vesper had his arm wrapped around my waist while he tried his best to keep his breathing steady. His face had turned bright red. His lips chapped. He rested on the wall, pulling on his shirt as if he wanted to tear it off. The ride down inside the elevator was as awkward as it could be. My eyes darted around from Vesper to Nick and then to Leander, who was standing at the side with his eyes slightly closed. I had no idea what he was feeling. Yet the coldness that loomed inside the elevator made me involuntarily shiver. Embarrassment clawed at my chest. It was as if I had been caught doing bad things. Maybe it was because I had plotted against his son right in front of him. He must be upset, right?No matter what, Leander might still favor his son more than he favored a business partner like me, right?My lips pursed, and a frown settled on my face. "We are here." Gabriel's voice rang in my ear
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 59: POKER
ETHANNick returned with the wine. I took the bottle from him and dropped it at the side. "Thanks, Nick." My smile was sweet. Nick returned a smile and sat down. "Oh, you've shared the wine." "Yes. I decided to help you out." I raised the glass before me. "Don't thank me." "Vesper, would you like to drink this for me? My stomach feels a little uncomfortable, so I don't want to drink anything heavy." Vesper nodded. He took the cup and slowly sipped it. He poured the rest into his glass."Thank you." I flashed him a smile. Leander's eyes lingered on me. I suddenly felt a little awkward. The dinner was peaceful. With Leander in the room, even Nick became quiet. His presence alone seemed to command authority, which no one could breach. Leander was the first to stop eating. Vesper immediately stopped eating, too.Nick did the same. Watching as they all dropped their cutlery, I felt a little awkward eating alone. After a few more bites, I also dropped mine and relaxed in my seat.
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 58: "Hm, I'm here."
ETHAN"You came." My words came out as a whisper. My eyes lingered on him; even blinking was hard. Leander's gaze also settled on mine. His lips pressed into a thin line, a calm look on his face as he nodded. "Hm. I'm here." "I'm here," the word echoed repeatedly in my ears. It was like a saving code, forcefully pushing back every discomfort and anxiousness in my chest. A hint of excitement showed in my eyes as I stepped toward him and smiled brightly. "Thanks for coming to my birthday, Mr Leander." I kept up the facade. Leander looked at me. He nodded without saying a word. He turned to look at Vesper, and the two stared at each other silently. Vesper had always been scared of his father. He was the type who would go obediently and quietly before his father, and this time wasn't any different. He had his hands at his sides, standing upright as he looked at his dad with a serious expression. Leander stepped forward. He approached the only single-seater in the room and sat d
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 57: TACKY
ETHANStaring at the strings of words in the air, I couldn't say anything for a long while. My eyes lingered on the words, fully fixed without even blinking. I couldn't even think. It was as if my mind had gone blank. Time seemed to stop. The words sparkled before my eyes. Dazzling. Beautiful. Breathtaking. My fingers curled. The nails threatened to tear into my flesh. Slow music began in the background, bringing the space back to life and snatching me back to reality. It was like being drenched in a bowl of cold water, no, perhaps being dumped in a reservoir filled with bone-breaking cold water. The reality hit hard, punching me hard in the face until all the emotions hit rock bottom and my heart grew cold. The word in the air suddenly became ugly. They were so ugly that it was unbearable. I took my eyes off it. Even the room felt ordinary. Neither the stars nor the glitter felt good anymore. I crossed my arms around my chest, waiting for him to come out from wherever he
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 56: BUSINESS BOOK
ETHAN"The Chairman is in the conference room, having a meeting with some clients. Would you like to join them?" "He asked to bring you in if you decide to join." I thought about it for a moment and shook my head. "No need. Thanks." With that, I turned around and left. The meeting with the client was something I had no prior knowledge of, and I had zero understanding of what they were talking about. Going inside that place to watch them talk and negotiate would be too boring. I'd rather focus on the training books for now and cross that bridge when the time comes. Every lazy bone in my body resisted the idea of joining, and I wouldn't go against that. I returned to my office, sat down, and sprawled on my desk. My eyes drifted to the countdown on my wrist. The three years had reduced to two years, and calculating the days before it, I realized they were indeed not up to twelve months anymore.Less than three years...The countdown was still running. Every minute that passed mov
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 9: EXECUTIVES MEETING
ETHANThe company was as I had remembered it to be. Peaceful. Elegant. Tense. Everyone worked agilely with no sense of dawdling. Even the most ordinary worker was someone with a postgraduate degree. They were all experienced and vibrant. They bowed slightly when they saw my father, and none of
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 8: PROMISE
ETHANMy father raised a brow slightly and quickly turned his head away as if to hide the delight I'd already seen in his eyes. "Why do you want to take over? Are you truly ready?" My mother promptly asked. Her expression still showed her distress. I smiled softly. "I'm ready, mum. I want to take
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 7: RESOLVE
ETHANTime became slower after I woke up from the dream. My sleepiness had disappeared with the dream, and even after tossing for a long time, I wasn't able to sleep anymore. I sat up in bed and began thinking deeply. Switching on my phone, I saw numerous messages from Vesper and Nick___ the pai
REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. CHAPTER 6: LETTING IT OUT
ETHANMy parents pushed back their seats and quickly approached. My mother's face turned red, and tears dropped freely from her eyes. "It's okay, son. It's really okay." She hugged me tightly. "Mum and Dad are always here for you." "Yes, son. You can always come back to us." My father's voice was
