Chapter 0932

The next morning, after checking on his little ones and kissing their mother, Peter headed to his mother’s room. He felt nervous–afraid, even. It was an irrational fear, born from 48 years of absence. Years of scattered, blurry dreams–most of which he barely remembered. But one thing had always been constant in them: she was always there.

When he opened the door, a wave of relief washed over him. There she was, curled up on one side of the bed, sleeping peacefully. The morning light filtered through the curtains, illuminating her tired face. She was older now, but still so beautiful. His mother was a truly beautiful woman.

He took a deep breath and sighed before quietly stepping inside, careful not to make any noise. He sat in a chair by the window and simply watched her, losing himself in thought.

In another life, his mother could have been free. In another life, she never met Leonardo. In another life, she and her mother escaped her father, broke free from the chains that held them back. In that life, he was never born. She had set out on an adventure, studied, worked, and traveled.

In that life, she and her mother visited Everstone together. They strolled through the cobblestone streets of the enchanting village, sat at a café, waiting for the sun to set over the horizon. They stayed there for a few days, enjoying a well–deserved vacation.

In that life, Peter could see his mother chasing her dreams fearlessly, without restraints, without sadness or pain.

In that life, she had her wild youth, dated different men, maybe even fell in love.

The thought of it all made a lump rise in his throat, and before he knew it, tears started falling. His mother didn’t say much, but Peter could understand the weight of her silence like no one else. Just imagining her alone, waiting for his father to decide her fate, filled him with unbearable anxiety, which spilled out in quiet sobs.
