Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15

“Whatever I give you is yours. It stays that way.”

Chris snapped the unlit cigarette in his hand.

Winter had just driven past the edge of the hospital grounds. The Xander family’s hospital covered a huge area, and the road leading out of it was wide and open.

Her mind felt blank. Tears burst forward as if a dam had finally broken, and she bit down hard, scolding

herself for being pathetic.

Chris had bought the bracelet. It belonged to him. If he wanted to give it to the woman he loved, that was his right.

She was the greedy one, foolish enough to once believe she could ever matter to him.

Winter wiped her tears with force.

A black sedan suddenly sped past her car. Before she could even react, it shot under the streetlights, cutting through the freezing wind like a streak of lethal light. The tires screamed against the asphalt as it swerved.

The sedan drifted sideways and came to a hard stop across the road.

Winter slammed on her brakes.

Her hands tightened around the steering wheel, her bloodshot eyes locked on the car blocking her path. Through the windshield, she could see the man in the driver’s seat, his face starkly outlined behind rimless glasses.

She put distance between them, pushing the car faster.

But it didn’t take long for the black sedan to catch up again. It moved with terrifying speed, overtaking her almost instantly and forcing her to stop.

Winter’s anger surged. Her eyes were red, bright with humiliation and fury.

This was too much.

Before she could accelerate and pass him again, the sedan door swung open. Chris stepped out, leaving his door wide open as he headed for her car. He yanked her door open.

“What are you doing?”

He stood at the door, blocking the streetlight and the cold wind as if he were a wall. His presence filled the space, cold and overwhelming.

He looked down at her tear-reddened eyes, his expression growing darker.

“The doctor told you not to drive until your ear heals. What the hell are you doing acting out on a public road? Even if you don’t value your own life, does that mean everyone else’s life doesn’t matter either?”

Winter’s ear was still buzzing, and his cold voice mixed with the noise until her ear throbbed with

pressure.

She let out a short laugh. “I’m the one acting out?”

Chris’s gaze flicked away from her eyes. Without saying another word, he reached in and unbuckled her
