Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 343

When Evangeline came to, her eyes were covered. The world was a blanket of black.

She felt the bumpy motion of a vehicle and smelled a pungent odor, with the faint, unmistakable scent of fish. This wasn't her car. She'd been moved.

She tried to piece together what had happened. Just before she was drugged, she'd heard men talking, and one of them had mentioned the name "Soren." Were they after her because of him?

Before she could work it out, a man's voice broke the silence.

"You think Soren will really show up for this woman?"

"I heard the Fawkes family are all cold-blooded and only care about profit. You think one of them would risk his life for a woman?"

A second man replied, "Why are you thinking so much? Our client tells us what to do, we do it. We get the money, we leave. It's not our problem after that."

Hearing this, Evangeline's tightly wound nerves relaxed slightly. She had feared this was Victor's doing, or perhaps an enemy of hers or another of Poppy's schemes, aimed at killing her or worse. In that case, her chances would have been slim.

But if they were only using her to lure Soren, that changed things. It meant she was, for the moment, relatively safe.

"Gentlemen," Evangeline said, her voice steady.

The car fell silent. Though she couldn't see them, she could feel their attention turn to her.

She kept her tone as calm as possible. "Soren and I are divorced. He has no feelings for me. Using me is pointless."

"I know you're doing this for money. Let me go, and whatever you want, I can give it to you."
