Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done (Winter and Chris) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223

Winter felt like she was trapped in a nightmare, struggling without being able to wake up.

She couldn’t open her eyes, but she could feel something cold moving across her face. It was a fingertip, the pad of it slightly rough.

It traced over her brows and down the bridge of her nose, then kept sliding lower like a cold snake until it came to rest on her soft lips.

The finger pressed against her lower lip and gently parted it. She could feel the rough texture of his skin against her mouth.

“No!”

With all her strength, Winter forced her eyes open. She looked straight into his cold, unreadable eyes, and her heart went numb. “Chris…”

He had both her wrists pinned above her head. Her upper body was forced upright, her chest almost pressed against his.

She could feel the hard, steady beat of his heart.

Winter stared at his cold face inches from hers. Mrs. Xander Sr.’s death had cut through everything between them like a knife. She had thought they would never see each other again.

She had already changed the door code. How had he gotten in?

“After you found out your name had been taken off the list, why didn’t you call and ask me about it?” Chris’s fingertips, now warm, brushed slowly along her chin.

The touch was intimate, but his voice was cold as ice. “Were you already making plans in your head? Thinking that since everything was ruined anyway, you might as well leave Liono City? Did you come up with some backup plan?”

Still shaken, Winter’s chest rose and fell hard. It took her several seconds to process what he was saying.

Had he come here because she had not called to confront him?

The thought made her scalp prickle.

Being pinned down like this filled her with humiliation and rage. Then she thought of being cut from the Eveland posting, and anger burned in her eyes.

“What backup plan could I possibly have? You control everything. No matter where I go, you’ll just find a way to stop me!”

Chris’s face didn’t change. His expression stayed distant and unreadable. “Winter, that doesn’t work on me.”

His voice was low and hoarse. “Let me guess. Were you planning to leave me after your parents‘ ashes were finally buried?”

“You had someone following me.” The coldness in his eyes made her tense instantly. “What are you trying to do?”

“They’ve been left alone all these years,” he said. “If you behave, they can stay where they are. But if you dare leave Liono City, I’ll scatter them myself.”

Tears slid from the corners of her eyes onto the pillow, soaking the fabric. “You won’t even recognize me as your wife, so then let me go! What’s the point of this?”

“You’re insane!”

But before she could say another word, he lowered his head and kissed her.

A muffled cry slipped from her throat. She jerked her face away, but he caught her chin and forced her back.

The kiss was hot and relentless. He claimed her mouth with a desperate, punishing hunger, his tongue tangling with hers.

The humiliation flooding through her made Winter lose all restraint. She bit down hard.
