"Alright, here's the deal-clear the table in one go. If you sink every ball, you win. Mins even one, and it's your
loss. You've got fifteen minutes," Bruno announced, his tone dripping with confidence.
I didn't have much of a choice, so I shot back without hesitation, "Fine."
"Once you're ready, we'll start the clock," he sai
settling back on a couch like sVIP.
| stepped up to the table, took a deep breath, and nodded at the timer. At their signal, | went for it.
Thud, thud, thud..
Ball after ball sank smoothly into their pockets. Ten minutes in, only two balls were left on the table. Victory was
practically mine. | focused, steadying myself for the final shots. One more strike, and it was done. With a precise
hit, another ball dropped in, leaving just one remaining.
Clap, clap..
Bruno started clapping again, trying to throwoff. | ignored him and lined up for the last shot. But just as | was
about to strike, something cold and slithery brushed against my foot, like something crawling over it.
| screamed, leaping up and sprawling across the table, the cue slipping from my hand.
The cue ball hit another ball, sending it rolling across the table with a sharp clack....
+ Yara's voice rang out, "This doesn't count! Bruno, you cheated."

Still shaken, | looked at Bruno, trying to figure out what just happened.
He raised his hand toward the floor, and that's when | saw it-slithering across the ground, heading right toward
him. A yellow-and-green striped snake.
So that's what had freakedout. I've been terrified of anything slimy or crawling since | was a kid-even
caterpillars freakedout. And now, a snake? Yeah, no thanks.
Bruno picked up the snake, letting it coil around his arm as he petted its head. "Naughty little thing. running off
like that. Look at how you scared her."
He shota smirk. "It's harmless, you know. Really gentle. Cpet it if you don't believe me."
Like hell I would.
Even with the snake in his grip, | couldn't bring myself to leave the table. My heart was still racing, but | shot him
a glare. "Bruno, if you're gonna play, play fair. No cheap tricks." "Can't take the loss?" he taunted.
"If you hadn't set that thing on me, | wouldn't have missed."
"A true snooker player ignores all distractions," Bruno said smoothly, acting like he was skind of snooker
god holdingto the highest professional standard. Now | got it-he had no intention of letting Hayden go, even
if 1 won.

Hayden, who'd been silent up until then, finally spoke. "Enough with the petty stunts. Just say what you want,
and let's finish this."
Bruno walked over to him, still petting the snake, and met his eyes. "You humiliated me, physically and mentally.
Tell me, how should | repay you to make it even?" Hayden's face tightened, but he didn't rise to the bait.
Bruno's grin turned dark. "An eye for an eye. How about | return the favor and humiliate you the sway you
did me?"
He was itching to disgrace Hayden.
Before Hayden could respond, Yara

With a flick of his wrist, someone brought over two full buckets of snooker balls.
A chill ran down my spine. It was clear-Bruno was about to settle this using those balls.
