Game Over No Second Chances

Chapter 292

Cole's scorching breath brushed against her ear. His slender fingers slipped into her sleeve, tracing lightly along her skin.

It was an intimate, almost suggestive gesture. But Serena yanked her hand away, gripping the doorknob tightly.

"There's nothing between us..."

Before she could finish, Cole seized her shoulders and spun her around. Her back slammed hard against the door, the doorknob slipping from her grasp. A sharp click echoed as the lock engaged.

His face was still swollen from earlier. But that didn't stop him from leaning in, pressing her against the cold surface.

"Nothing between us? You've noticed how I look at you, but you keep acting like I don't exist. You get so close to Hugh right in front of me. Why? It's just a business marriage between you two. There's no love between you.

"What difference does it make whether you choose him or me? He's just a useless man who can't even have kids. You'd be better off with me. Once I called off my engagement with Regina—"

Serena's fist landed squarely against his chest. Her eyes burned with fury. But with the patient still in the room, she kept her voice low.

"Regina just got into a car accident! She might be in a wheelchair for the rest of her life, but all you care about is breaking off the engagement? You're selfish and heartless. You don't deserve my respect. You're nowhere near Hugh's level." With those words, she shoved past him and reached for the door.

Cole stumbled back, momentarily stunned.

Watching her desperate attempt to leave, he clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms. Hatred burned in his eyes, layer upon layer of resentment piling up.
