CHAPTER 725. IN MY NEXT LIFE. A Small FootprintShe was sleepy. The landscape around her was absolutely perfect, so peaceful that if Kim was being honest, she had to admit she had never felt such a deep sense of calm in her entire life. Yet, something still tingled inside her—an urgent need to do one more thing, to leave at least a small footprint behind, something that would help others before she left.So, a month after arriving in Bali, Kim fought against her exhaustion to be the one to wake Peter up that morning.“What’s wrong, baby? Are you okay? Do you feel something?” he asked worriedly, surprised to see her awake so early.“Yes, it’s nothing… I just… I just wanted to ask if you’d be okay with us leaving,” Kim replied.“Leaving?” Peter asked, confused. “Leaving where, doll?”“Well, I was thinking… maybe we could go to England,” she sighed. “I’d really love to visit that school the Kings have. We could get some ideas and…”She trailed off when she saw the hesitation on his face.
CHAPTER 726. IN MY NEXT LIFE. In My Next LifeAnd if Kim was being honest, she didn’t really care what the school would be called. The only thing that truly mattered to her was that a place like that would be built for the children.“Where would you like it the most?” she asked as they flew back to Switzerland. She had already decided that she wanted to spend her final weeks at home.“Lucerne,” Peter answered without a second’s hesitation. “I wouldn’t trade Lucerne for anything. Most of my family is there, and as soon as my cousins hear about this, they’ll get involved as much as possible. Not to mention my parents—after raising so many kids over the years, they’re basically experts at this point.”“It’s funny how your mom never wanted biological children. I guess having you was more than enough, huh? I can’t even imagine all the trouble you must have caused her!” Kim laughed, picturing a young Peter getting into fights with Noemi or Levi, sneaking off to slide down the mountain—wheth
CHAPTER 727. IN MY NEXT LIFE. The Most Beautiful MemoriesIt was one of the most terrible feelings, and unfortunately, all of them were pounding inside her chest at that moment. The meeting with her family, explaining her new life project, was something that absolutely took everyone by surprise. But not a single one of her siblings, cousins, or uncles blamed her for wanting to dedicate herself to doing that; on the contrary, two of her cousins volunteered for the project, and three others got involved immediately with everything that would follow after, from creating the school to finding the teachers, defining the subjects, and obtaining all the necessary permits.So, by the end of the announcement, she had much more help than she had expected, and Kim truly felt happier than ever in her life for having had the chance to meet such a wonderful family.“You know what? When my parents finally let us go, maybe we can take the cable car up and I’ll take you to one of my favorite spots,” P
CHAPTER 728. IN MY NEXT LIFE. A Chaotic WomanShe was sweet, she was beautiful, and she had gotten under his skin in a way Peter couldn’t even begin to describe. His mouth traveled over her as if he wanted to devour her, as if he wanted to take absolutely everything from her—her last breath, her last moan—and keep it for himself, to preserve it forever.It was beautiful to see her squirm beneath his body, climbing toward pleasure, leaving little marks on his sides as he penetrated her slowly, deeply, until the rhythm turned violent and desperate.Kim felt everything inside her vibrating in a strange way. She could feel that tingling running through every nerve ending, dissolving in Peter’s mouth as he licked her breasts, or sending small jolts of pleasure down to her core.She felt every thrust, every delicious guttural growl that came from the man’s throat, every involuntary smile, every soft bite he left on her skin, but most of all, the perfect, exquisite way he sank into her body
CHAPTER 729. IN MY NEXT LIFE. The Antechamber of HellPerhaps the worst of all was that his hands were trembling—they trembled when he had to dress her, fasten those buttons, or pull up the zipper. Moving her as if she were a limp doll simply broke him in the worst way.“Damn it, damn it!” he exhaled a desperate growl as he tried to finish dressing her no matter what.He could feel that bitter tingling of tears trying to escape his eyes, but at that moment, he couldn’t afford to feel bad, not even to be scared.He finished getting her as presentable as he could and lifted her in his arms, rushing her to the snowmobile and sitting her in front of him.The only way he could keep her stable was by wrapping a couple of straps around her body, and Peter thanked God that he was at least good at that. Getting back to the ski station felt like the longest trip of his life, even though it only lasted a few minutes. However, as soon as he arrived, shouting that it was a medical emergency, they
CHAPTER 730. IN MY NEXT LIFE. The Perfect MomentIt couldn’t exactly be called “happiness,” but at least Peter felt a kind of relief that Kim was strong enough again for the doctor to allow her to leave the hospital.However, the hardest part had come when he put her in the car, leaving her chatting animatedly with his mother, so he could go back and take the list of recommendations the doctor handed him.“You have two options, Mr. Ferguson: when things start to get worse, you can bring her back here, or you can follow these instructions to create a more comfortable environment for her,” the doctor explained. Peter saw that the list included not just medical care instructions but also details about the kind of bed she should use and the recommendation that their home shouldn’t have stairs.“I’ll take care of this immediately,” Peter declared, and indeed, that same day, he placed the list in front of his parents.“I need a house that meets all these conditions,” he sighed. “I don’t wan
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
