Rebirth; Falling for my father's friend Chapter 41: Her decision to pursue him
/-Miray-/His grip wasn’t as forceful as before, but it was tight enough to freeze me in my step as I slowly turned to him. His eyes were closed, but the bobbling of his Adam's apple told me that he was still conscious.I ignored the strange flutter of my chest at the contact, trying to act unaffected as I whispered, “What?”He didn’t say anything for a few seconds, then he released my wrist.“Nothing.” He replied, resting his back against the bed board calmly.I stared at him, suddenly at a loss when the warmth on my wrist disappeared. In the end, I decided to stop thinking about it.“Stay here,” I ordered, pointing a finger at him. “And don’t you dare get up.”He chuckled lightly, “You are giving me orders now?”The sound of his brief laughter momentarily made me forget what I was about to say. I cleared my throat and answered, “It can’t be helped. I have to save you from your own stupidity since you refused to rest.”Before he could respond, I turned and hurried to find clean tow
Rebirth; Falling for my father's friend Chapter 40: His vulnerability
/-Miray-/He was deep in sleep.I froze at the entrance for a second longer, staring at his face without moving a muscle. The sharp edges on his face had softened somehow, making him look more approachable than ever.This was the first time I would be seeing him like this, sleeping peacefully without his usual coldness that could freeze one's breath.I took a few steps forward, my steps light and silent. Placing the items in my hand carefully on the small table nearby, my attention turned back to him once again.Initially, I thought he was resting peacefully, until I noticed the crease between his brows, one that ruined the peaceful aura around him completely.Thinking he was about to wake up, I froze in my steps, suddenly nervous. But even after waiting for several seconds, he remained still, but the furrow on his brows was even deeper.His expression grew tense, his jaw became tense and the faint lines on his forehead deepened with each second that passed.He looked as though he was

/-Miray-/After convincing myself, confusion and hesitation slowly crept in. Should I go ahead with my plan for Lysander or forget about it?But if I don’t, wouldn’t everything I have done all along be in vain?I stood still, not completely sure of what to do. And that was the first time something like that would happen since my rebirth. I always had everything planned out, even to the smallest details.But whenever it comes to Lysander, nothing goes according to my plan at all. So even as I left the restroom, I remained confused.…For the past two days, I have been doing everything possible to avoid Lysander. I avoided his office, took different routes whenever I heard his voice and made sure not to take the elevator when there was a high chance of running into him.It was exhausting.Not because avoiding him was particularly difficult, but because the more I avoided him, the more I was unable to stop thinking about him.How ridiculous was that?At this point, wasn’t I gradually tu
Rebirth; Falling for my father's friend Chapter 38: The lie she told herself
/-Miray-/I retreated like a person who has been scalded, so shocked that I didn’t know what to do for a while.How could that be?How could I develop feelings for Lysander? And so soon?No, No, this couldn’t happen. I stared at nothing in particular, my mind struggling to accept the sudden realization. My mind was like a jumbled mess, scattered, disoriented and messy.My purpose in this life was only one and that was vengeance. I had promised that I would not be distracted from the goal by anything, least of all something as unpredictable and troublesome as romantic feelings.Love was a luxury I could no longer afford. I didn’t even dare think about it because it had killed me before and I didn’t want to make the same stupid mistake.I had no desire in placing my heart in someone else’s hand, only for it to get crushed at the end of the day. I didn’t need a man to complete me and I certainly didn’t want to fall in love.So, why? What was happening to me now?Of all men in the world,

/-Miray-/Lysander glanced at me with a raise of his eyebrow before averting his gaze.I sneered, “What, can’t bear to even look at me now?”I watched him for a moment and the next words I was about to say got stuck in my throat.The morning light fell across his features, outlining the sharp angles of his face. A cigarette rested in between his index and middle fingers, its faint trail of smoke curling lazily into the air.The smoke partially obscured his features, giving his otherwise expressionless face an air of mystery that made him look even more dangerously handsome.No, he looked maddening handsome.I hated how easily he could look so good while doing something as simple as smoking. Was there something he could do that would make him ugly?And I hated his attribute even more.D*mn it!“Do you have another reason to be here?” He asked again, staring calmly ahead like there was something better looking than me outside.I clenched my fist in annoyance, my gaze falling on the ciga
Rebirth; Falling for my father's friend Chapter 36: The woman beside him
/-Miray-/Their conversation didn’t last long as they all got busy. However, I was unable to stop thinking about what they’ve just said.Was Lysander and secretary Stacy that close? Could they be in a relationship? Or friends with … benefits?A lot of thoughts went through my mind, distracting me and making me unable to get through with my task. But I also felt this sudden urgency to see Lysander.However, as an intern, I needed a perfect excuse and couldn’t simply enter his office because I wanted to see him.Fortunately, I didn’t have to wait long before an opportunity presented itself.A few minutes later, one of the senior employees who had been discussing Stacy and Lysander earlier approached my desk and placed a document before me. “Take this to the CEO’s office. He needs to review it before the meeting this afternoon.” She said in a somewhat overbearing manner. The CEO’s office? Wasn’t that wonderful?I didn’t mind her haughty manner of speaking to me and simply smiled, “Okay
