Semua Bab REBORN TO WIN: Father-in-law, Keep Me Alive. : Bab 1 - Bab 10

ETHAN My body suddenly fell backward. Fast. Sudden. A loud crack sounded within my body, and my eyes abruptly parted. I exhaled shakily. Shock and fear palpable in my silver orbs. Unable to control my emotions, I sat up and looked around even more curiously. I was in bed. If I hadn't remember wrong. This should be where I spent my wedding night with Vesper... The HIGHLIGHT HOTEL. It was indeed my wedding night, and checking the time on the golden walls, it seemed to be immediately after we got into the room after the night party. The last time, I remember I was really exhausted and fell limply into bed when we got into the room. Vesper hugged me for a while before he carried me toward the bathroom for a bath. Right now, my suit was still on me, and I could also feel the fatigue in my bones. However, the memories of everything that happened earlier were fresher in my mind. Leander's warning. Vesper and Nick plan to take everything away from me. The fall. The desp

ETHANMy eyes searched his. An offer?Could it be money?I shook my head. My father-in-law was rich enough to rival my father's consortium and still be victorious. Why then would he need money from me, an heir who hadn't truly taken over?Looking into those hypnotic blue eyes, numerous ideas flashed through my head, but none of them were worthy of the man before me. To make him my sharpest weapon against my enemies, to make him willingly stay with me... No. Leander wouldn't have to fight my battle. Instead, I would make those scummy couples regret everything with my own hands. But to live after that, I needed Leander. I needed a place around him—a reason to make him stay with me. What then would it be?Right then, my phone rang, startling me out of my thoughts. I gently pulled back from Leander and picked up my phone from my pocket to check. Vesper...The name peered back at me through the phone's screen, and my eyes darkened. My hold on the phone tightened. With a long si

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 heavy with emotion. Hearing their comforting words and feeling the deep emotions they felt for their only child, my heart felt even heavier, and my emotions became even more distorted. My mind flashed back to the things that happened after my death in my last life. Everything I witnessed___From Nick's subtle manipulations to Vesper's belated regret and to Leander's silent support. But in the end, how could anything ever fill the void of losing one's child? My parents were never able to recover. My mother lost her mind, and my father barely survived a severe heart attack. Even though Leander helped keep the company afloat, what could bring back the happiness that had been lost?I could

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 over and become the chairman." I'd already thought it over. Though the journey wouldn't be easy and it would go against my lazy principles, it was alright. For my goal, anything could be changed—even my lazy habits.My dad sat beside me and patted my shoulder even more firmly. "Good. When do you want to take over? Today?""Hm. Shall we go together later?" He nodded. "Yes. Dress up. Daddy will show you around the company and also explain the things you need to know..." He paused and rubbed his brows. "But you probably won't be able to take over anytime soon." His tone was low. "Those old fogies won't let you." I inhaled gently. "I know, Dad." That was expected. "I'm inexperienced and ca

ETHAN The day at the office was relatively easy and peaceful. The assistants knew I was the boss's son and respected me, but they didn't give me much work, which gave me a bit of a headache. But aside from that, everything else was good. I was able to learn some things and even followed my father to a meeting. I honestly wished it were with Leander. In the evening, my dad tapped on my desk. "Let's go home. Your mum's waiting for us already." I raised a brow. "I'm not going with you." "What do you mean?" My father's expression changed. After what he caused at the office today, it was a miracle that I could still talk to him calmly. "I said, I'm not going with you. I'll also call Mum and tell her not to talk to you." Having said that, I stood up, picked up my suit, and walked toward the door, ready to leave him there. "Hey, brat. Come back here." He shouted, running after me. I ran. A subtle smile played on my face as I entered the elevator and quickly closed it before he cou
