Breaking Mr. Cold (Giselle and Donovan) novel Chapter 4

Giselle thought something was wrong with her eyes. Her heart raced as Donovan hovered just inches away. Then, he noticed her too.

The moment their eyes met, the world seemed to freeze. He stared at her as if she were some kind of monster.

Neither of them could look away for a good while.

"Don!" Tony was the first to call out, grinning as he waved him over. "Come on, take a seat! Sorry about that. There was just a little family disagreement earlier. I thought you'd be running late. Please, take a seat!"

Then, leaning close to Giselle, Tony hissed a sharp warning under his breath, "That's Anne's fiancé. He's an honored guest. Stop causing a scene, and get out. Now!"

Fiancé?

The word struck Giselle like a physical blow. Her body went rigid, her disbelieving gaze snapping back to Donovan.

At the same time, Renee hurried over, stumbling over her apologies. "Don, I'm truly sorry about what happened earlier. I'm so embarrassed you had to see this mess on your first visit to our home.

"I'm sorry! That's Tony's daughter from his ex-wife. She's used to getting her way and has a habit of stirring up trouble."

Worried that Giselle's bratty, delinquent image might ruin the marriage between the Holts and the Kanes, Renee wasted no time clearing things up.

"But don't worry. She doesn't live with us. Tony and I will make sure this is handled properly."

Donovan said nothing, merely shooting Giselle a cold glance before looking away. That disdainful, icy gaze left no question about his contempt for her.

He'd slept with her for a year—more than enough time to learn every wild, selfish, and money-hungry part of her. Not to mention, he'd just watched her slap Renee "viciously".

"Giselle, must you turn the whole place upside down every time you're back?"
