Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 339

"Miss Whitmore, what should we do with these two?" a bodyguard asked. "Should we… take care of them?" He punctuated the question by dragging a thumb across his throat.

The two men, terrified, immediately started begging Evangeline for mercy.

"We've learned our lesson! We'll never do it again!"

"Please, let us go!"

They had figured out that Evangeline was not just some ordinary woman, and these were professional bodyguards who likely weren't making idle threats.

In this remote location, anything could happen to them without a trace.

One of the men started banging his head on the ground in a desperate plea. The other quickly followed suit, the dull thuds echoing in the quiet air.

Evangeline glanced at the bodyguard, who gave her a subtle look. She understood what they were implying.

After a moment's thought, she said, "I can let you go, but you'll have to cooperate and testify about what happened today."

"Yes, of course! We'll cooperate!" one of them cried.

"Just let us live, and we'll do anything you say!" the other promised.

Evangeline took the phone with the recording and had the bodyguards search the men for any weapons. Once she was sure they were clean, she gave her instructions.

Today's events had also exposed her bodyguards. If she had them hold the men privately, Poppy could potentially find them, silence them, or even turn them against her. But at a police station, no matter how powerful Poppy was, getting them out would be a far more complicated and risky endeavor.

Just as she was sorting through her thoughts, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Finn Lockridge.

He had arrived at their designated hotel.

Seeing his text, Evangeline pushed everything else from her mind. Today was her anniversary with Finn, and no crisis was more important than their dinner together. A smile touched her lips.

"On my way. I'll be there soon," she texted back before putting her phone away and getting into her car.

But just as the door clicked shut, she heard a faint noise from behind her. Before she could turn, a cloth was pressed firmly over her face, and a strange, sweet scent filled her lungs. Her body went limp, and the world went black.
