CHAPTER 701. IN MY NEXT LIFE. Being SelfishKim Russell sat in the passenger seat of her husband’s luxury car. She couldn’t say he was a bad man, though it was true that his temper sometimes got the better of him. But it would’ve been unfair to claim he didn’t care about her.The problem was that after six years and knowing all that lay ahead, the only thing Kim wanted was to be exactly what Peter had told her: selfish. She wanted to do only what made her happy.“Percy... I want a divorce.” Those were the only words that came out of her mouth, and the car braked so hard it nearly skidded off the road.Her husband’s expression was a mix of disbelief and shock as he turned to her, looking as if she’d suddenly sprouted a second head.“Kim, what are you saying? Have you lost your mind?” he demanded in a frustrated tone. “What do you mean, divorce?”She closed her eyes with a weary expression and shook her head softly.“It doesn’t make sense... You know it doesn’t make any sense to keep ou

CHAPTER 703. IN MY NEXT LIFE. A Tour of Your Favorite ThingsIt was the most absurd thing in the world, and yet Peter couldn’t explain what he felt just by seeing her again, as if two years had passed, not just a few days, since the last time.He swallowed and frowned because he had certainly expected some photo session or something like that, but the definition of “your shadow” was something he already knew since his aunt had tried to impose it on him before.“No, no, no, no, no, no!” he declared, approaching them. “I’ll do a regular photo session, but I’m not going to have a bodyguard behind me all the time...”The next thing that was heard was a slap to the back of his neck, and Peter gritted his teeth, glancing sideways at his mother.“I think you learned how to greet people when you were about three years old. Any reason you’ve lost your memory?”Peter took a deep breath and reached out to shake Kim’s hand, but damn it, just grazing her hand made something inside him shoot back t

CHAPTER 705. IN MY NEXT LIFE. Isn’t it Enough?Was she capable of saying it?Was she even capable of putting it into words?Her heart was beating harder than the engine between her legs, and it wasn’t exactly because of the adrenaline from the race, but because Peter’s arms around her made her remember the thousand and one moments they’d been pressed together in that cabin at Skatgan Peak.And as if that weren’t enough, he ended up wrapping his arms around her abdomen and pulling her even closer to his body.“Peter…”“I asked you a question. Actually, I just gave you an order. Define ‘this.’ Is ‘this’ getting on the damn motorcycle, or is ‘this’ being like this with me?”She couldn’t even deny it. That woman gave him a fever; she made his blood boil in a way he couldn’t understand. But whereas before he had the freedom of ignorance, now that he knew she was married, he couldn’t say the same. And still, he felt his whole body vibrating as he moved his lips closer to her ear.“I just wa

CHAPTER 707. IN MY NEXT LIFE. An Open BookOnly the women closest to them knew it, and Kim was about to find out: a Keller with a protective instinct could melt an entire mountain of snow—not in a sexy way, but by sheer intensity.Peter felt his body vibrating, his skin buzzing with the fury coursing through him. Unfortunately, the marks on Kim’s skin meant a lot, things she wouldn’t be able to deny no matter how hard she tried.“No, no, it was nothing!” Kim exclaimed, trying to calm him down, but the man in front of her wasn’t accepting any excuses.“What do you mean it was nothing, Kim?! Whether you like it or not, you’re an open book—a damn illustrated one at that. There’s no way anyone can touch you without it being written all over your skin how and why they did it!” Peter growled. “Do you think I can’t tell the intention behind marks like this?” he said, placing his fingers on the exact spots of each bruise and gently lifting Kim’s face without squeezing it.As he did so, his he

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
