Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done Chapter 100
Winter’s scalp prickled. In the pitch dark, her senses sharpened.The arm around her was too tight. Rough fingertips pressed into her shoulder like he was trying to pull her into him. The room was full of voices, but she could hear her own heartbeat, and the other person’s, too.Thump. Thump. Thump.Panic and humiliation hit at the same time. She was about to strike, but another thought stopped her. Maybe he had mistaken her for someone else. Sam’s words surfaced in her head. “Think twice. Don’t act on impulse.”“Sir, you have the wrong person,” she started.Before she could finish, someone clamped a hand around her chin. A sharp force tipped her face upward, and something soft pressed to her lips.She felt the other person’s tongue push, trying to pry her mouth open.Winter stopped caring who was hosting tonight and who this man might be. If he dared do this to her, he would pay for it.Her hand swept across the table, grabbed the first thing she touched, and swung hard.Th

Steve walked up beside her. “Winnie, don’t forget you’re my date tonight. Running over here to talk to other men is going to make me jealous.”As he spoke, he held out his right hand.Winter rested her hand on his and followed him toward the entrance. As they walked, she clicked her tongue. “If you’re just a stand-in, you should know your place.”“You say that and you’re not worried I’ll get my feelings hurt?” Steve didn’t seem bothered at all. “And you’re bringing me to a charity gala in front of everyone. Aren’t you worried about embarrassing Chris?”Winter looked at him like she had just heard the funniest thing in the world. “So he can do whatever he wants, but I can’t?”She lifted her chin. “Besides, you’re my brother-in-law. We’re family. What gossip could outsiders possibly have?”Steve’s eyes turned suggestive. “The way you put it, the whole brother-in-law and sister-in-law thing almost sounds… tempting.”He paused, then leaned in close to her ear and whispered, “Still,

Winter adjusted the shawl draped over her shoulders. The moment she heard Steve’s voice, she knew exactly who had arrived.Her first instinct was to walk away without a backward glance, but she reminded herself why she was here. She had come here to corner Chris. She couldn’t leave now.With a reluctant sigh, she slowly turned around.The wind caught her loose hair and lifted the ends into soft waves. Under the lights, the strands picked up a faint blue sheen. Her features, accentuated by the makeup artist’s deft touch, possessed a rare, seductive allure that was far from her usual understated look. It was a beauty so breathtaking even the breeze seemed to favor her. A stray lock of hair swept past the corner of her shimmering eyes, subtle and effortless, and somehow it still pulled attention.Winter had the kind of figure that even loose, casual clothes couldn’t hide. As she turned, the fitted gown traced the curve of her waist and hips in a way that made the proportions look

The line went dead.Winter clenched her phone so tightly her fingers hurt.It was obvious Chris was doing this on purpose. The station had cleared a prime slot for the interview. They could fill it with other segments for a day or two, but they couldn’t drag it out. She had to get this done soon.She wasn’t going to let Chris leave a stain on her career.Right now, she didn’t have a better option. She would have to corner him in person.Back at her desk, a news alert popped up on her computer. There would be a charity auction at the Windham Gardens tomorrow night.The annual charity auction was a staple of Liono City’s high society, hosted in rotation by the city's most prominent families.She remembered the Zellers hosted it last year. She quietly ran through the major family names in her head until she landed on the Xanders.If it was the Xanders’ turn, then Chris, as head of the family, would undoubtedly be there. But at an event like that, guests were expected to arrive wit

Winter frowned. She used to think Chris was the type of man who kept his private and professional lives strictly separated. She thought he wouldn’t mess with something just to get back at someone.Now, she wasn’t so sure.“Did he specify what he was unhappy with?” she asked.After that interview, she had gone to dinner with Zac and was subsequently kidnapped. During her hospitalization, William had forbidden her from touching any work, but she had managed to review the interview footage during the three-day holiday break.It was almost impossible to find anything wrong with it.The editor shook his head. “The team at Xander Corporation didn't coordinate with me directly. They haven't disclosed any specific points of dissatisfaction from Mr. Xander. They simply stated you need to conduct the interview again.”Winter’s expression remained unreadable. She gave a curt nod. “Fine. I’ve got it.”Wendy’s gaze lingered on her. No one else knew the truth, but Wendy did. Chris was Winter’

Winter’s fever had been the result of her body giving out in the freezing valley. Now that the fever had broken, the remaining superficial injuries were manageable.“You’ve returned just in time.”Just then, a woman stepped out from inside the house. She was well-dressed and poised, elegant in a calm, dignified way. The only thing that didn’t match her image was the apron tied around her waist.“Aunt Sasha?” Winter was surprised to see Sasha at the house.Ever since she moved out of the Xander estate, Sasha rarely showed up.Sasha walked over and took Mrs. Xander Sr.’s other arm. “I made some soup. You and Winter should have some.”Mrs. Xander Sr. smiled. “That’s very thoughtful.”Then she said to Winter, “Ever since I haven’t been feeling well, Sasha has been coming back every few days to make soup and cook for me. It’s not easy to find someone with that kind of devotion. She’s a lot better than your uncle, who only knows how to run off overseas to have fun.”“Mom, please don’

Winter didn’t know how Chris had found out the passcode to the apartment in Westbay. If he wanted something, he always had his ways.He ignored her wishes completely. He had someone bring all her belongings back, making her attempt to leave look like a joke.Without hesitation, she strode toward G

She had thought, maybe this was for the best. If she died, there would be no more pain. And even if there was, someone would finally care.She could be with her parents again.Then the crash of a door being kicked in shattered the silence. Instinct forced her eyes open. Through the thick smoke, sh

Winter’s lip was bitten raw. She cried out in pain as Chris slowly released her. Without the lenses of his glasses to soften them, his eyes were filled with raw aggression.He raised a hand, wiping the smear of blood from his lip with his thumb. The hand gripping the back of her neck tightened as h

Chris ripped through her clothes, and Winter curled her body inward out of pure instinct.A split second later, a sharp pain shot through her shoulder. The sensation was wet and stinging. Chris’s teeth sank into the pale curve of her shoulder before he pulled back to look at her. Her eyes, already
