Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 779

"You wouldn't have had the chance to shoot me if I wanted you dead, let alone escape from that place," Chris replied as he looked straight into her eyes.

Giselle inhaled sharply as she recalled those terrible two months she'd endured.

She had to admit that he had a point.

It would've been as easy as pie for him to gut her like a fish if he wanted. Instead, he'd continued to indulge her every whim. He never once tried to kill her. In the end, he'd even allowed her to slip through his fingers.

"Then, why did you go to such lengths to come to Valanthea just to find me? Aren't you here to get back at me?" Giselle glared at him hatefully, seemingly wanting to set him on fire where he stood.

Chris didn't answer her question immediately. In fact, he took his time.

He turned slightly, avoiding her gaze. Then, he walked to the window and took in the view, unsure how he could give her a passing answer.

Initially, he had come to Valanthea with hatred in his heart. His goal wasn't to kill her, but to drag her back to his world.

However, that changed when he found her. Once he'd managed to come in contact with her life, he learned that she wasn't some ordinary Jane. Instead, she was an heiress and now, a wealthy socialite.

Her background and power in Valanthea made it so that she wasn't a target he could easily whisk away.

Regardless, he'd reconsidered his plan of action after spending the past six months with her. He'd decided against abducting her back to Gold Delta. Instead, he would rather hide his identity for a lifetime and stay by her side as her bodyguard, protecting her forever.

"Tell me!" Giselle couldn't help but worry that he was cooking up another scheme when he remained silent, so she pressed, "Why are you here?"
