Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done (Winter and Chris) novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68

A faint scent of cedar and tobacco drifted toward her.

It was so familiar it felt embedded in her bones.

Winter’s finger froze over the floor button. She barely had time to react before she stepped quickly out of the elevator.

But in the next second, Chris’s hand clamped firmly around her wrist.

“Where are you going?” His voice was low and rough.

Her expression turned cold. “What do you want now? If you’re here to sign the divorce papers, fine. If it’s anything else, leave.”

He didn’t let go. Instead, he pulled her back into the elevator and pressed the button for her floor.

The doors slid shut.

Winter struggled hard, and this time he didn’t tighten his grip. She jerked free and backed against the elevator wall.

She had never thought her floor was particularly high. But now she felt as though time itself was stretching with every floor they passed, making it seem as if they would never reach her destination.

The moment it reached her floor, he would surely follow her out.

Before William returned to the film set, he had arranged bodyguards for her in case Chris showed up again. She had no idea how Chris had managed to avoid them and enter the building.

Winter quickly pulled out her phone and dialed one of the bodyguards.

Before she could speak, a calm but urgent voice came through the line. “Ms. Scott, Chris brought several people with him. We’re handling it.”

It was exactly as she feared.

“Stay safe,” she said as calmly as she could.

She hung up and gripped her phone tightly.

Chris’s eyes flicked to her call screen. The second name listed was Zac.

He let out a faint, humorless laugh, removed his glasses, and slipped them into his coat pocket.

When the elevator doors opened, Winter didn’t step out. Instead, she pressed the button for the lobby, sending the elevator back down.

She stayed inside, knowing that under the surveillance cameras, he wouldn’t dare do anything reckless.

She was wrong.

Chris reached over and canceled the lobby button. With his other hand, he grabbed her wrist and yanked her into his chest, his eyes burning with a dark fury.

“Since when are you this close to Zac?”

“What are you implying?” Her face went pale with humiliation.

She unlocked her door and opened her contacts to call him.

Soft footsteps sounded behind her.

Her hand froze mid–swipe. “Chris, we’re already-”

Before she could finish, a hand wearing a black glove reached around from behind her. A white handkerchief was pressed tightly over her mouth and nose.

A sharp, sweet chemical scent filled her lungs.
