CHAPTER 708. IN MY NEXT LIFE. Out of ControlThis was sheer madness, and he knew it. There was no way his kisses wouldn’t leave marks on her skin, no matter how gentle he tried to be. But the way he desired her, the way he needed her, was equally insane—enough to make him forget every shred of common sense he had.She was a married woman.A damn married woman, and yet he couldn’t help but feel that where she belonged was with him.Peter had never felt anything like this before. He would have liked to believe it was just the frenzy of sex, but unfortunately, it wasn’t. Because no matter how many times he plunged into her, no matter the strength or tenderness of his thrusts, no matter the moans, the screams, or the sweat… None of it compared to feeling her skin, kissing her, or hearing her laugh.He reached for one of her hands, pulling her body toward him as he watched Kim’s back arch with pleasure, her knees rising above his hips and locking behind him to pull him deeper.“Damn it, yo
CHAPTER 709. IN MY NEXT LIFE. An ExcuseBy the time Kim opened her eyes, darkness had already enveloped everything, and she was so exhausted she wouldn’t have bothered waking if it hadn’t been for Peter’s mouth feasting on her breasts. His lips devouring one of her nipples was the most arousing sensation in the world. She could feel the delicious way he moved inside her, the world dissolving into their moans, their two bodies merging as if they could never be separated again.The climax hit her again. Those orgasms were like relentless tides, leaving her utterly spent. At some point, after a sea of kisses and screams, she only felt him lifting her against his chest and placing her in a large tub of hot water.Kim looked out the window, aware of the threat looming over her. Percy had told her she had to come home every night to sleep, but even that had hurt too much to obey. She didn’t want to obey anyone anymore—except herself.“I know I shouldn’t feel this way,” Peter’s voice broke t
CHAPTER 710. IN MY NEXT LIFE. A Determined WomanThe answer was “no.” The answer was obviously “no.” It wasn’t enough anymore, and it was entirely because of him. Yet Kim couldn’t tell him the truth.“I’m finding my way out of my marriage,” she whispered, avoiding his gaze. “But divorces take time—you know how it is.”Peter nodded, lost in thought for a moment as he debated whether or not to say something like this to her. Finally, he mustered the courage to speak.“Do you have to go back to your husband’s house every night?” he asked. “I know you’re not with him, but…” His fingers traced the marks on her cheeks, the only ones that didn’t belong to him. “I don’t want something like this to happen again.”“And it won’t,” Kim assured him in a whisper. “But I don’t know if I can go anywhere else. It’s… it’s complicated.”But that wasn’t an answer Peter was willing to accept. Letting her leave that night was difficult. He kept checking his phone constantly because he’d made her promise to
CHAPTER 1. More than one way to break a heart**JANUARY SEATTLE**"How could you do this?!" Zack Keller's furious roar stopped his girlfriend right at the door as soon as he saw her arrive.Giselle saw a piece of paper in his hand and had no idea what he was talking about, but she had never seen him so upset as he was at that moment."I don't know what you're talking about...""Of course you do! You aborted my child! You lost it on purpose!" he accused her angrily. "Did you at least have the damn intention of telling me anything?!"The woman in front of him turned pale."How... how do you know...?"Zack threw the paper in her direction and looked at her with disappointment."Do you forget you're on my company's health insurance?" he spat, approaching her. "As soon as your last name appeared in the payment records, they notified me. Imagine my joy when I found out the insurance had paid for a pregnancy test and then for an ultrasound!"Giselle stepped away from him, her face red with e
CHAPTER 2. Something is Very Wrong...**NOVEMBER. VANCOUVER**"Andrea! To my office! Now!"The shout from her boss, a middle manager at SportUnike, made her jump in her seat, anxious because she knew he was in a very bad mood that day."Is this a damn joke?" he growled, throwing a folder of documents at her face. "I clearly told you I needed the budget reports for the water sports division from last month!"Andrea's eyes widened."But... Mr. Trembley... I'm sure you said you wanted this month's reports...""Don't argue with me, you useless idiot!" her boss snapped. At fifty years old, Peter Trembley was as unpleasant as his bulging belly, but Andrea had to endure him because she had barely managed to get a job as his assistant, and she and her daughter depended on it to survive. "Don't you realize what's happening? SportUnike is gone! A Swiss bastard bought it, and now we'll just be a part of his company! Do you know what that means?"Andrea knew. The arrival of a new owner had create
CHAPTER 3. A Possible AllyBut if Zack thought something was wrong with the company, his instincts went on high alert when he went down to the parking lot and saw the woman leaning against one of the walls. She was trying to change from high heels to low sneakers, but her hands were shaking.He was tempted to go talk to her, but something in him still resisted getting involved in other people's problems. He had a new company to run; if he wanted Andrea to feel better, he just had to fix his company, not the woman's personal life.Finally, he saw her adjust her coat and step out into the cold street.He watched from a distance and saw she didn't take a taxi or a bus, so she probably lived nearby. He had no idea how wrong he was because Andrea didn't live remotely close; she simply couldn't afford any form of transportation.For forty minutes, the young woman walked through the cold of a Canadian winter, and by the time she finally reached her building, it was almost dark."Good evening
CHAPTER 4: This is War!Trembley's face visibly reddened, and the hardness in his eyes remained."Waiting for Andrea?" he growled. "Are you trying to be funny, or do you not know that interpersonal relationships are prohibited in this company?""Well, I'm a slow learner, but I tend to imitate," Zack replied sarcastically. "Maybe I got confused when I saw you climbing on her like a lizard needing sunlight."The old man clenched his teeth and released Andrea abruptly before walking up to Zack."Don't get in my way, kid. You're just a newcomer, and I can...""What? Fire me?" Zack interrupted with a cold voice. "Well... you can try, but you'll find my job here doesn't depend on you. I belong to the team of the company owner, and only he can fire me. I'm sure he wouldn't look kindly on a manager trying to dismiss me without justified cause."Trembley clenched his fists and glared at Zack with a malevolent, defiant expression."Maybe your job is safe," he spat, "but hers leaves much to be
CHAPTER 5. Difficult DecisionsFurious… no, but definitely frustrated. He couldn't understand why she was so submissive to a guy who was utterly despicable. Sure, he was the boss, but God strike him down if he ever treated any of his employees like that!Andrea not only tried to do her best, but she did it well. You'd have to be blind not to see that the idiot Trembley minimized her just to keep her controlled. Zack didn't know why it angered him that she allowed it, but it bothered him that she was so docile with her boss.As soon as he saw she was less watched, he followed her to the copy room and closed the door behind him."Hey, were you born with a neck problem?" he asked, stopping her. Andrea looked at him, confused."Excuse me?" she murmured, not understanding."It's just that your head only moves up and down to say yes. I haven't seen you move it sideways even once to say no!" Zack hissed, and the girl pressed her lips together, her cheeks flushing."Because it's not easy..."
