Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 344

Poppy stared at her, clearly stunned.

The look of miserable indignation on her face morphed into one of pure shock as her eyes raked over Evangeline from head to toe.

She couldn't seem to believe it.

Just moments ago, she had been convinced that Evangeline was the one who had kidnapped her. After all, right before she was taken, she'd received news that the men she'd sent after Evangeline had failed and been handed over to the police. She had assumed this was Evangeline's revenge.

But now, seeing Evangeline also bound and brought here…

Poppy's gaze fixed on the ropes securing Evangeline, still harboring a sliver of doubt. Was this all an elaborate act?

"Evangeline? You were captured too?" she asked, her tone laced with suspicion. "Are you really a prisoner, or is this some kind of trick?"

Before Evangeline could respond, one of the men shoved her toward another chair and tied her up securely.

"You two, just sit there and be quiet," the man who appeared to be the leader said coldly before walking out. The other men followed, leaving just two guards behind to watch them.

Evangeline scanned her surroundings. It looked like a warehouse, cluttered with fishing nets, old tires, and cans of gasoline. The air was damp, and large puddles of water covered the floor. They were near water—the coast or maybe a lake.

She looked up at the warehouse windows. They were set high up on the wall, at least ten feet off the ground, and covered with iron bars. Outside, it was too dark to see anything.

Her phone had been taken, but they hadn't been thorough enough to take her rings. Her mother's ring and the one from Finn were still on her fingers.

She didn't know if Finn's ring had a tracker, but she was considering using the concealed blade to cut the ropes.

However, with two guards watching, she was worried any sudden movement would attract unwanted attention. Since she had judged that they were not in immediate danger, she had temporarily shelved the idea of a direct escape.

Poppy's voice brought her back to the present. She looked up. "Are you afraid?" she asked coolly. "I would have thought after all the dangerous situations you've been in, you'd be more accustomed to this."

Poppy caught the sarcasm in her tone and bit her lip. "I know you resent me, but right now, we're in the same boat. We should put aside our personal issues and figure out what to do."
