Take Me Away novel Chapter 10

Looking at Kristen's receding figure, Fiona said, "I also think that you should find someone who is a good match for you. The marriage arranged by our parents is a burden on both of us."

"A burden? You mean to say you don't deserve me?" The triumphant smile on Spencer's face faded a little when he heard what Fiona said.

Without knowing why, Fiona nodded and replied, "You're right. I don't deserve you. You deserve someone better."

Squinting his eyes dangerously, Spencer took a step forward as Fiona raised her head and looked at him. She saw the storm in his eyes and found herself trapped firmly.

"It's good that you're aware of this. I'm going to marry you just for Grandpa's sake. Don't ever expect me to fall in love with you."

He stalked past Fiona and bumped into her shoulder as he went. There was a lot of tension in the air.

Fiona scowled and turned around. She found that Spencer was walking farther and farther away from her.

On the training field, Kristen was testing her weapon. Spencer marched over, stood beside her and shouted to the coach, "Give me the best weapon!"

The coach was taken aback, but handed the weapon to him. 'What the hell does Spencer want to do?' he thought.

Spencer looked stern as if he wanted to freeze the entire training ground with his icy aura.

Suddenly, soft footsteps approached behind him. A hint of coldness flashed in Spencer's eyes. He held up his weapon and immediately turned around, pointing it at the spot between Fiona's eyebrows.

She stopped short and her back went stiff. 'Does he want to kill me?'

"Spencer! What are you doing?" the coach cried out.

"Just shut up!" Spencer demanded in a dangerous tone.

Everyone around him, including Kristen, held their breath and kept mum. They couldn't understand why he was suddenly brandishing a weapon at Fiona with that awful look on his face.

Spencer waved his hand gently and stared at her. "Fiona, apologize!" he said coldly.

"W-what?" Fiona couldn't help but stutter.

"Apologize to me, Fiona!" he repeated.

Fiona opened her mouth. She felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat, but she forced herself to be calm. "Did I say something wrong? If so, I apologize. I'm sorry."

She ought to be more sensible in the face of a life-and-death situation.

Her voice was so meek that even Spencer couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"The marriage arranged by our parents is a burden on both of us."

"You're right. I don't deserve you. You deserve someone better."

Fiona's words echoed in his mind. Suddenly, he realized that he was angry about this. He did not move for a while. After a long time, he squeezed the trigger just a bit, and his arm slowly dropped.

Just as everyone felt relieved, Spencer suddenly raised his hand again and looked at Fiona.

Swoosh!

The sound of the gunshot echoed in the air!

"Spencer! No!"

Screams of horror fell in Fiona's ears. Her brain went blank. She had no time to think, let alone react! She felt something slipping past her right ear; it almost hit her head.

Suddenly, something smacked onto the ground behind her. She turned around and saw a sparrow at her feet. It was dead. There was a hole in the bird's head.

He was warning her.

'So if I annoy him, will he kill me too?' Fiona thought to herself.

He suddenly spun around and started shooting at the moving target several hundred meters away. It was plain to see that he was venting his anger.

"Put it away!" After shooting the target, he tossed the weapon to the coach. Then he said to Johnson, who was standing next to him, "Send Kristen away after a while."

"Yes, sir!" Johnson said and saluted him politely.

Fiona stood still as she watched Spencer walking towards her. She was about to say something, but he passed her by and continued walking straight ahead as if he hadn't seen her.

Meanwhile on the training ground, Kristen took great pleasure in Fiona's misfortune, but she too felt terrible when Spencer got angry. So she didn't say anything. She turned around and asked the coach, "What were Spencer's results?"

"His bullet hit the bull's-eye."

'What?'

Fiona was shell-shocked. She was finally regretting agreeing to Wayne's request.

In the base, night fell. Spencer walked alone towards the canteen. It was time for dinner. There was a separate kitchen in the white building, but he didn't want special privileges. Unless there were guests at the base, he would always dine with everyone else.
