Chapter 291

Penulis: Ninth Cup
Dominic watched him casually toss the peeled-off scar into the trash, and for some reason, his temper flared all over again.

All that mattered was that someone believed him?

The sight of Chris acting so composed, like nothing in the world could touch him, only annoyed Dominic more.

“Of course someone believes you,” Dominic said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Skyla couldn’t get ahold of you, so she called me instead. She said she refused to believe you’d ever do something like that. Wow. S

    “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

    The moment his words fell, he felt her entire arm go stiff.He looked up, his dark gaze locking onto hers with a hint of something almost obsessive. Then he smiled.“Scared?”She was caught off guard by his smile.She had never seen him smile like that before.There was warmth in it. Indulgence. And something deeper, more complicated, held tightly beneath the surface.Maybe that wasn’t entirely true. Maybe there had been moments like this before, but they had passed too quickly for her to hold on to, leaving her to think she had imagined them.But never like this.Never so unguarded, as if he had stopped holding himself back.And yet, beneath it, she saw something else in his eyes.Something close to madness.Something that wanted to pull her in and never let her go.She remembered that day at Westbury, when he had fired at her. She yanked her hand free.“I only get one shot. If I miss, it’s over. I’m not like you. I don’t have that kind of aim. You managed to knock the gu

    “I want to go back to Liono City for a meal.”“It’s too late to make it back for lunch,” Chris said calmly, as if it were a serious point.Winter finally looked up from her magazine and glanced at him.He was still shirtless. As he rubbed his hair dry, the muscles across his chest, abs, and arms shifted with the movement. Droplets that hadn’t been wiped away slid down along the sharp lines of his torso and disappeared into the waistband of his pants.The soaked fabric clung tightly.It was hard not to notice.She looked away. “Dinner’s fine.”He watched her. “If we go back to Liono City, we won’t make it back here for dinner.”The magazine in her hands crumpled slightly. “Who said I’m coming back?”So that was it.He wasn’t saying it was too far to go back. He was saying he didn’t plan to let her leave.Chris held the towel in front of him. His damp hair was swept back, revealing his forehead and making his features look even sharper.He stepped closer, bent down, and took

    Behind her, the sea wind drove the rain hard against the bathroom window.It almost felt like the cold was slipping in through the gaps, wrapping around her.Her fingers paused on the drawer handle for a second before she closed it, her expression blank.“Dinner’s ready, Mrs. Xander.”The maid’s voice came from outside the bedroom door. The room was so large it sounded distant, pulling Winter’s thoughts back.She came to her senses, stepped out of the bathroom, and said, “I’m not hungry. And call me Ms. Scott. I’m not Mrs. Xander.”The maid froze for a moment, then remembered the instructions she had been given earlier. Whatever Winter said, they were to follow.She nodded. “Yes, Ms. Scott.”After the maid left, Winter sat on the black sofa by the window. Her hand drifted to the edge of the armrest.Then she suddenly froze.She stared at her own hand.Her thoughts had been a mess just now. She had only wanted something to distract herself, so she had reached out without thin
