/-Miray-/

I turned towards the entrance and caught sight of Lysander ending his call.

I stepped away from the counter, trying to contain the grin that threatened to leave my lips. The mischievous glint in my eyes vanished, replaced by an expression of complete innocence.

Lysander slipped his phone inside his pockets and approached us calmly.

I lowered my head and waited calmly, but somewhat impatiently.

Finally, he reached us and I stepped to the side.

“Welcome sir.” The receptionist began, he

  • Reborn; Falling for my father's friend   Chapter 73: A touch too close

    /-Miray-/The first thing I felt when I woke up was that familiar warmth that I had grown accustomed to. Habit sure was maddening. I had only woken up in Lysander’s arms a few times and here I was, already used to it.My cheek was pressed firmly against his chest, his heartbeat rhythmical in my ears. He had one of his arms wrapped tightly around my waist in a manner I would consider possessive and my legs were placed casually on his.In other words, there was no space between us. It was as though we were one entity and we could even be said to be breathing the same air.My eyes fluttered open and I raised my head, intending to get a proper look at him, only to find a pair of gray eyes already watching me.Was he already awake? Then, why was he so silent?And from the look in his eyes, it was clear he had already been awake for quite a while.“Good morning.” I mumbled, voice still hoarse from sleep.He didn’t respond immediately. Instead, his gaze remained on my face as though he was s

  • Reborn; Falling for my father's friend   Chapter 72: His possessive instincts

    /-Lysander-/Miray blinked at me, seemingly surprised by the sudden question.Then, she slowly lowered her head, “I … I went out.”Her vouce was low and downcast, but to me, it sounded like she was having guilty conscience or something.I didn’t say anything immediately and merely stared at her, struggling to suppress the sudden flare of anger thay was like a boiling volcano within me.I was about to say something more when my gaze fell on her neck, where a faint reddish imprint was visible against her usually pale skin.Gradually, my face changed.It was a hand imprint. Someone had touched her and even grabbed her neck.My finger curled by my sides as an unpleasant sensation bloomed in my chest.Who? Who was it?The unfamiliar masculine scent and the mark around her neck. Everything looked as though the person was trying to declare ownership or something of sort.Someone had touched her delicate skin, held her by the throat and left a mark behind, a mark I hadn’t even dared to leave.

  • Reborn; Falling for my father's friend   Chapter 71: A disturbing discovery

    /-Lysander-/The warehouse was located at the outskirts of the pack, far away from prying eyes. From the outside, it looked like an abandoned dilapidated building with rusted metal doors and faded walls. However, the moment I stepped inside with Gideon, a strong smell of chemicals and disinfectant assaulted my nostrils.That was right. A section of the building, which was at the back, had been converted into a small makeshift laboratory for the purpose of my personal research.At the far end of this particular room stood a man wearing protective gloves with his back turned. His attention was focused by the figure lying on the metallic table in front of him.“You’re late,” Callum said without even bothering to look back.“I had something to take care of.” I replied calmly before approaching the table with Gideon following closely behind me.My gaze settled on the man lying motionless on the table expressionlessly. It was one of the creatures from the fair attack, the one I had personal

    /-Miray-/Inspector Morgan’s expression sharpened.“Her boyfriend?” Then, she turned towards the dorm supervisor and the other girls who had spoken earlier. “Didn’t you all claim she was always alone? Where did this boyfriend come from then?”One of the girls furrowed her brows, “A boyfriend? We’ve never seen her with one before.”The dorm supervisor also nodded, “That’s true. She always leaves the dormitory alone and comes back alone. I have never seen a guy with her before, not even her family members.”Inspector Morgan turned back to me, her voice cold, “Can you explain yourself? I hope you know wasting my time can give me enough reasons to put you behind bars regardless of whether you are an elder’s daughter or not.”I wasn’t surprised she knew me, but I was more surprised that this person had never seen that multi-colored hair guy before.How was that possible? We saw him the first day we visited this place.That was when realization suddenly dawned on me.When we saw him leaving

    /-Miray-/‘She’s dead.’ Those words rang in my mind repeatedly like a broken record. For a moment, I stared at the security guard, waiting for him to take back what he had just said, unwilling to believe that the girl we laughed with last night could die just like that.But his grin expression did not change. If anything, it only worsened.A collective gasp swept through the crowd, followed by heated whispers of terror.But none of what they were saying registered in my mind.Valerie was dead.I could have fallen immediately if Eloise had not reacted quickly and supported my body with an arm around my shoulder to keep me steady.But my body couldn't stop trembling like a leaf.Beside me, Elise had already covered her mouth, a broken sob escaping her lips as she silently cried.“She was fine the last time we saw her. She was fine …” She mumbled, shaking her head frantically.But the security guard only let out a sigh before shaking his head.I took in the overturned table and chairs,

    /-Miray-/I was so furious that I almost forgot I was hiding.“Miray is still too young,” Clarissa continued in a calm tone. “She’s impulsive and careless. I suppose someone has to keep an eye on her, but it does not necessarily have to be you.”“And if you keep rushing to her side whenever she needs help, she might never learn to take care of herself.” Lysander finally gave her a look, “Are you finished?”She blinked, her smile almost faltering.“Actually, there’s something I would like to discuss with you. My company has been looking to expand its operations recently and I figured that someone with your experience and business acumen might be interested in working with us. I assure you that there will be many benefits.” She said slowly, stepping closer to him.Benefits? Does sleeping with her count as one?Lysander’s gaze was cold.“Mrs. Sinclair.” He called out calmly and her smile lessened quickly.It was as though Lysander was intentionally reminding her that she was someone’s w
