Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Love at the 2040

Chapter 2040

Ashton had no idea what was happening behind her as she ventured deeper

into the snowy forest alone. There were no lights in this part of the hunting

grounds, and the darkness swallowed everything around her. She turned on

her flashlight, gripping her gun tightly, her senses on high alert.

Any other woman, no matter how intrigued by the game, might have turned

back at this point. After all, not everyone was willing to risk their life for a

hunting game. But Ashton’s personality thrived on challenges–the more

difficult something was, the more determined she became. She had a gut

feeling that the 130–pound carnivore of the night was lurking somewhere in

this area. But what kind of creature could it be?

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, hitting the ground just 30 feet from her.

Ashton’s survival instincts kicked in immediately, her entire body tensing with

the awareness of danger. In such poor visibility, if multiple players were

Bunting nearby, the risk of accidental injury–or worse, death–was high. And

with no cameras in such remote areas of the hunting grounds, who knew

what could happen? But she figured no one would risk committing murder

without provocation. After all, every player was registered, and it would be

hard to escape suspicion if someone turned up dead.

“Well, well, if it isn’t Ms. Summerton!” A voice broke through the darkness, and

a flashlight beam illuminated her face.

“What are you doing?” Ashton instinctively raised her arm to block the

blinding light and shouted.

Nathan stepped closer, laughing. “Hunting, of course, I just say a little wolf

cub dant by, but I guess my aim was off, Hang…”

Wshton shot him a cold glare, “With your terrible aim, it’s easy to imagine you

shooting someone by accident, weakling!”

Nathan wasn’t bothered by her insult. “With these guns, a single shot isn’t

enough to kill anyone unless you hit them in a vital spot. And besides,

tonight’s theme is life–and–death hunting. Everyone who enters knows the

risks! Haha…” He didn’t care about the consequences–his family was wealthy

enough to deal with any fallout, as long as it wasn’t him lying dead in the

snow.

“You spoiled Zovince scions are crazy!” Ashton muttered in disgust, preparing

to move away,
