Fabian glanced sideways at Winter, amused that she had used him as a shield.Then he shoved her toward Garrett.“We’re out of time. Gag her and carry her.”The order had barely left his mouth before Garrett pulled a towel from his pocket and stuffed it into Winter’s mouth.Then he wrapped an arm around her waist, threw her over his shoulder, and followed behind Fabian and Skyla.Winter’s head dropped sharply. Blood rushed downward, and her vision went black for a moment. She almost passed out.With the towel in her mouth, she couldn’t even speak, let alone fight back.Once they left the woods, Garrett’s steps were fast and steady. Winter forced her eyes open, but rain fell into them, cold and stinging, and she had to shut them again.Then she pretended to gag.Sure enough, the man carrying her stopped.Fabian stopped too. He knew Garrett hated anything dirty. If Winter actually threw up on him, Garrett would lose his temper.“Put her down,” Fabian said. “Drag her along inste

Skyla had been watching Winter’s every move.Since all major exits out of Liono City had been sealed off, the Xander family and the Zeller family had to be behind it.Their people could catch up at any moment to rescue Winter.Everyone was in a hurry. Once they boarded the helicopter, things would turn chaotic, and a gap would open in their defenses.So Skyla had already made her plan.The moment they rushed onto the helicopter, just before the cabin door closed, she would stab Winter with the switchblade, then shove her out and send her tumbling down the steep slope on the other side of the mountain.Because she had been watching Winter so closely, she was the first to notice when Winter snatched Garrett’s gun.The instant Winter fired at Fabian, Skyla grabbed the gun from the guard beside her and yanked him in front of her as a human shield.Bullets tore through the trees and hit the guard in front of her. His body went heavy, and Skyla shoved him aside. Then, without caring

Winter felt a sudden heat on her forehead. She wanted to raise her hand and rub it, but in the next second, Chris had already released her waist and locked his large hand firmly around hers.Her hand was ice-cold.His was warm.“One, two, three!”The instant Winter’s body was thrown upward by the force of Chris’s arm, the warmth gripping her hand disappeared.Chris let go.Winter was thrown toward the edge of the woods on the opposite side. She grabbed the hanging vines with all her strength, bit down on the gun, and climbed up with both hands and feet.Just as she managed to pull herself onto the ground at the edge of the woods, a sharp crack sounded behind her, followed by the rumble of falling rocks.The hand holding the gun froze.Blood seemed to rush backward into her heart.Thud.Her heart slammed so hard that her vision went black.She whipped around.The tree Chris had been holding on to had been ripped out by the roots, tumbling down the cliff with rocks and dirt.

When Chris said he would carry her, Winter instinctively took half a step back. But his grip tightened around her wrist.It was as if an invisible cord connected them. The moment she stepped back, Chris pulled her right back. Then he lifted a hand and brushed something away from the back of her head. It was a branch that had almost hit her forehead.“It’s not like I haven’t carried you before,” he said, his tone meaningful.He pulled her closer, then turned and crouched slightly in front of her.The hand that had been gripping her wrist moved behind him and settled against her lower back.A shiver ran through Winter. She planted both hands firmly against his broad back and insisted, “I said I don’t need you to.”Only when her hands pressed against him did she realize his clothes were soaked through.Of course they were. They had walked all this way through the rain, with water falling from the sky and dripping from the branches overhead. Her waterproof jacket had kept her dry. T

Skyla picked up the jacket from the ground.Her stiff, trembling fingers nearly dug into the fabric.She wasn’t mistaken. Winter had been wearing this jacket today.It was from a brand Winter liked. It was expensive, but for someone like Winter, who had grown up with everything, loved by her parents before she turned seven and later brought into the Xander estate, it was nothing more than an everyday jacket.After all these years, Winter’s taste and style had barely changed.As if still unwilling to believe it, Skyla lifted the jacket to her nose.A faint trace of perfume reached her.It was Winter’s.The jacket was soaked through from the rain, heavy in her hands.Just like her heart, which had sunk to the bottom.She thought back to the moment before the explosion. Winter had still been wearing this jacket then.And there was no way the blast could have thrown Winter into this forest.So why was Winter’s jacket here?The answer was obvious.Winter wasn’t dead.She had
