All Chapters of The Crushed Mate Who Struck Back: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

***Scarlett***“I told you not to get involved,” I whispered. “You wouldn’t have been locked up here with me if you listened.”James laid on his back, his face looking upward as his arms cushioned his head. “Being here with you is a choice. You didn’t expect me to block my ears and look away when I heard what was going on in there, do you?” His stare on the ceiling remained fixed. He didn’t bother glancing at me. Regardless of what he said, I think somewhere inside him he knew he should have just stayed out.Evans left and told us he would return in early hours of the morning. Something I’m not looking forward too.“So you were part of the Foss pack?” I asked.“Yes. That was a long time ago.” he sighed. “We were teenagers. Evans always had an evil heart right from the beginning.”“I’m sorry you went through that at such a tender age.”He faced me now. “You shouldn’t be. If there’s anything I learnt, it’s that no one is to be trusted.” He cleared his throat. “By the way, so Bryan is yo

***Bryan*** In the middle of discussing a way out to find Scarlett, my phone blared. It glared down at my screen to see a number that I wasn’t familiar with, so I rejected the call. “Sorry about that. Where were we?” I placed my phone on the sofa between where I and Max sat. “We were talking about being discreet,” Lois whispered. Her face paled beneath the light illuminating the common room. I lightly pat her hand. “We will find your friend.” We’ve been cracking our brains all night and still haven’t come up with any solution. There was no way we could involve others in this search without first revealing the truth that Scarlett was never dead. “I’m sacred, Bryan. Who would come after her? Evans doesn’t know about her.” She exhaled heavily and complained. “You were being careful to hide where no one can find her. I mean you didn’t even allow me see where you had kept her.” Max grunted. “He didn’t let me know either. He kept us all in the dark” They both glared at me with enough

***Scarlett*** Evans took James someplace else. The attack on him by Evan’s men have left him injured but I was certain by the end of today, a large portion of the wound should heal. Evans stormed into the room after being away for more than hour. “Your boyfriend hasn’t called.” He snarled as he approached me. “I gave him two hours to get me what I want. And he’s keeping me waiting!” I smiled. Evans had no idea that the reason I wanted him to call Bryan was so he would find out where I was. There was no way Bryan was going to give Evans a something that isn’t in his custody. “What were you expecting?” I look up to face him. “That he would come running to you because you gave him only two hours.” “You two think I’m joking here. Whether he brings the document or not, I’m the one who will decide your fate.” “And let me guess, your plan is not to let me go even if you get what you want.” “Do I look like a fool? You’re dead to everyone honey. I can’t let you go back into the world.”

***Scarlett*** Before Evans took me to my pack, he inflicted wounds on himself to make his story look authentic. Secretly, I hoped Andrew wouldn’t succeed with what Evans had ordered him to do. But with what was going on here right now, I’ll rather not think about how unfortunate things had turned out. My heart was falling apart. Evans remains the one with the upper hand. While we were in the car, he had promised to kill James and I if we did anything stupid or try to ruin his plans. We didn’t know what he had in mind but his warning sounded like one he would definitely follow through with. It came as a shock to me when he took me in his arms and told me to play along. He forced my head to rest on his shoulder. He ordered his men to watch James and that they should wait for his call if there was any need to bring James along as well. A few of the pack ladies who had surrounded me were quick to begin cleaning the dried blood off my face worried, the worry on their face apparent as

***Bryan*** I didn’t start this fight with Evans just to pull out of it when things got tough. Immediately I noticed his plan and how he had hijacked the situation to suit his narrative, I decided there and then that I had to do something to save Scarlett… and fast. If I fail, then Evans would eventually torture her and break her mentally and emotionally to get what he wants, which to me is worse than death. I had an idea. I wasn’t going to give up on my initial plan. I’m going to ambush him and take Scarlett away from him. Thanks to Evans, it isn’t a secret anymore that Scarlett piss alive. This would be of benefit to Scarlett for now. Evans wouldn’t be stupid to kill her now even if he wanted too. It would raise suspicion and I was sure he didn’t want to follow that route. I called Jensen and briefly explained to him that I needed his help. Fortunately, he told me he was with Max and that they would arrive at the location I had sent to them. I didn’t need a special hint or need to
