Chapter 251

Author: Ninth Cup
Gavin came in from outside, his usually expressionless face tense and grim. He was moving fast, like something had gone very wrong.

Mr. White quietly excused himself from the dining room and went into the living room, where he snapped a photo of the recipes he had just written down and sent them to Winter.

Gavin hurried over to Chris.

“Mr. Xander, William’s condition just took a turn for the worse.”

*

Early that morning, Winter had asked Mr. White for soup recipes. She had been planning to

    The moment Winter finished speaking, Chris sitting across from her answered calmly, “All right.”But after agreeing, he looked at her with a deeper meaning in his eyes and said in a low voice, “Didn’t you say I have no credibility with you? Why do you still want to play this game with me?”“So are you going to lie to me?” Winter met his eyes directly, refusing to back down.Chris’s gaze darkened. “No.”Winter didn’t quite believe him.But she could judge his answers for herself.She set down her utensils and stood. “Fine. Meet me on the terrace in an hour.”Chris watched her leave the dining room. Then he slowly set down his utensils and walked toward the kitchen.The staff were startled when they saw him come in.“Mr. Xander, is something wrong with the food?”They had prepared everything according to the menu he had provided. Even the smallest details, down to how much salt to use, had been written out for them. All they had to do was make the dishes Winter liked.“No,” Ch

    “Pervert!”Chris looked at her, standing in the bathroom doorway. Everywhere her nightgown didn’t cover was flushed red, even her toes tinged pink. As if nothing had happened, he bent down, picked up the nightgown from the floor, and tossed it back into the trash.“If you don’t want it, don’t throw it around,” he said calmly. “Are you hungry?”Winter ignored him. She turned and walked to the sink. She lifted her right hand and sniffed it, then turned on the faucet with her left.His voice came from behind her. “It’s already clean.”He shouldn’t have said anything.The moment he did, she felt like she could smell it again.Furious, she kicked the bathroom door shut, blocking him out.She pulled open the cabinet to her left. Without thinking, her hand went straight to the second shelf. She grabbed a bottle of perfume and sprayed her right hand over and over until the mist turned to droplets and her skin was soaked in it.Only then did she stop.Suddenly, something felt off.He

    The moon slipped behind the clouds.The room fell into darkness.Chris’s arms tightened around her, pulling her close. He buried his face against her neck, his lips brushing lightly over the pulse at her throat.It was so soft she didn’t feel it in her sleep.She had showered before bed. The walk-in closet only had silk nightgowns. The size fit her perfectly. The length, too.But with the way he held her, the thin straps had slipped off her shoulders and fallen down her arms.As his eyes adjusted to the dark, he lifted his head from her neck. A faint, intoxicating scent drifted into his senses.He lowered his head again, his nose grazing something impossibly soft.As she shifted unconsciously in her sleep, that softness brushed against his lips.The restraint he had held onto all day snapped in an instant.*The sleep oil worked too well.Winter slept deeply.In her dreams, she sometimes felt like she was drowning, unable to breathe. Other times, she felt wrapped in warmth

    “Put me down!”There was nothing but rejection in her eyes. From her body to her expression, she resisted him completely.Chris’s arms went rigid as he held her tighter, pulling her into his chest. He buried his face against her and breathed heavily.“What do you want for your reward?” he asked, his voice rough. “Let me go!” Winter snapped.A low laugh slipped out against her.“That works too.”He loosened his hold as if to set her down, but she flared up. “Chris, are you seriously playing games with me right now?”The sun was setting, casting a warm amber glow across the island. Clouds drifted low along the horizon.Chris lifted his head. The light brushed over his face, giving his features a burnished edge.He set her down.His dark eyes fixed on her. “What do you want?”She didn’t hesitate.It was as if she had decided long before the match even began.“I want Skyla dead.”The last of the sunlight slipped below the horizon. The wind off the sea turned colder.“I sai

    The wind lifted a corner of the tie covering Chris’s eyes.Winter watched it flutter, her heart rising and falling with it.She hadn’t felt much pressure while shooting earlier. But now, with only five shots left for him, she found herself holding her breath.Chris lifted his hand slightly.Winter suddenly stood up from her chair.But he only switched the gun to his left hand.She froze for a second, then remembered. He was just as skilled with either hand. He just used his right more often.Chris heard the movement. He also caught the shift in her breathing.A faint smile touched his lips.Just as he pulled the trigger, he cleared his throat. His wrist shifted ever so slightly.Bang.Winter’s breath caught.A mechanical voice announced from the display: “Nine.”She let out a quiet breath of relief, then frowned.Eight points behind her. Four shots left.Just as he fired again, a seagull suddenly flew across the range.Bang.“One.”Her heart jumped into her throat.T

    The tie in his hand matched the one she had used to tie back her hair, just in a different color.He loosened it and said flatly, “If I shoot with my eyes open, you wouldn’t beat me in ten years.”The words were humiliating.But they were also true.If Dominic had been there, he would have added, “Even blindfolded, you wouldn’t beat him in five.”Chris’s shooting was at the edge of human precision. He had been training rapid-fire drills at twenty-five meters since he was ten.For someone like Winter, that distance was already considered advanced in formal competition.Back when he had trained her, he had chosen that exact range. So far, he had only taught her pistol shooting.Winter glanced at him.Perfect.What she had been trying to push for earlier was exactly this—making him compete blindfolded.He had already dragged her to this island.There was no reason to play fair.“How are we doing this?” she asked.“Twenty rounds. All at once. Whole-number scoring. Two hundred
