Save Her Lose Us (Evangeline and Soren) novel Chapter 358

Blood gushed from Mr. Howard's nose and eyes. The man didn't stop until he was sure his target was incapacitated.

Soren stared at the man's face, a flicker of recognition in his mind. A moment later, it hit him—it was the bodyguard who had been protecting Evangeline. "Finn? What are you doing here?" Just then, a sound came from over the edge of the cliff. Soren froze, peering down into the abyss. He leaned out as far as he dared and, to his astonishment, saw a sturdy-looking tree branch jutting out from the rock face not too far below.

Finn was clinging to it with one hand, his body dangling in the air, while his other hand held tightly to the rope tied around Evangeline.

She was alive!

The realization sent a wave of overwhelming relief through Soren.

By now, Mr. Howard was barely conscious, and his men were locked in a chaotic brawl with another unidentified group. Gregory and the sniper, realizing something had gone wrong, were rushing toward them.

"Get over here and help! Bring a rope!" Soren roared as he scrambled to his feet.

A length of the rope that had held Evangeline was still tied to the tree. His fingers trembled as he worked on the knot, but he quickly saw it wasn't long enough.

"Get Poppy down! Give me the rope from her!" he yelled. The branch Finn was holding could snap at any moment, and he had no idea how long Finn's strength would last. They had to be fast.

Gregory and the others finally understood and scrambled to untie Poppy. Dangling in the air, Poppy watched Soren's desperate rescue effort, a bitter sting of disappointment and loss washing over her. He hadn't thought to save her first—he was only doing it now to get her rope. Her gaze fell to the two figures clinging to life below, and a fresh wave of jealousy and hatred surged within her. Why wasn't Evangeline dead? She was supposed to die!

Evangeline, having narrowly escaped death, was as shocked as she was terrified by Finn's sudden appearance.
