Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 194

　　Evelyn POV

　　I was woken by the sun coming up, lighting up the backs of my eyelids. I looked around my surroundings only to find Ryland next to me and I was leaning on him inside the shed. How did I not wake up when they moved me?

　　The answer was Orion who was sitting across from me staring at me and I could feel the fog lift off me.

　　"You didn't come home, '' he says simply. I sit up, my back cracking from the awkward position I was in.

　　"Yeah not like any of you want me there" I tell him hopping up.

　　"I thought you were destroying them, you could have just told me" he says.

　　"Like I could get a word in with you screaming at me, you didn’t give me a chance to explain" I tell him walking to the shed's roller door and looking out at what was left out here.

　　"Why did you come here?" Orion asks and I look over my shoulder at him.

　　"I didn't mean to, I didn't realise where I was till I stopped" I tell him looking back out at the empty lott. The grass trying to grow over the dirt patch that was once home.

　　"I miss this place, we used to be happy here" he says, walking over to me.

　　"Yeah now it is as broken as us" I chuckle, funny how a house can represent so much in so many ways.

　　"We aren't broken, just a little lost," he says.

　　"Lost? That's what you call it?" I ask him.

　　"We didn't lose something Orion, he was taken from us, you are just all to blind to see it" I tell him.

　　"This again? There is no proof anything happened. The fire department even said it was gas lines"

　　"You say that like they can't be bought, they could have been lying"

　　"You're delusional, that's what you are. Fucking crazy Evelyn, sometimes there aren't answers, you just want someone to blame, some explanation because you can't live believing it was an accident" Orion's says.

　　"That's because it fucking wasn't, I know it fucking wasn't an accident, I can feel it" He scoffs shaking his head.

　　"Fucking feel it? , What you got superpowers now, you’re fucking unbelievable" he says laughing.

　　"I know it wasn't an accident," I told him.

　　"Think what you want Evelyn, it changes nothing, it doesn't bring him back" he says.

　　Orion's phone rang in his pocket. He pulls it out before answering it.

　　"Yeah we found her, we will be home soon" he says and I hear Thaddeus speaking on the other end.

　　"Head straight home, I found something, well Mara did"

　　"Mara? What do you mean?" Orion asks his eyes darting to me before flicking away.

　　"I will explain when you get home" Thaddeus says before hanging up.

　　Orion pockets his phone before running his hand through his hair.

　　"We should head back" he says getting up and walking over to Ryland who was snoring, propped up against the brick wall. He shakes his shoulder, and Ryland stretches his arms above his head.

　　"We need to go home," Orion tells him.

　　Ryland shakes himself as he gets to his feet. "What's going on?" He says looking between us.

　　"Nothing, we need to head home, Thaddeus wants us back" Orion tells him.

　　Ryland nods, walking over to me. He wraps his arms around me tugging me toward him. "Morning, though I don't like camping on a concrete floor my ass is so sore" he says and I lean against him.

　　"Come on let's go," Orion says, pulling the roller door down.

　　"You guys go" I tell them walking over to the dirt patch.

　　"No you are coming, we aren't leaving without and I will fucking drag you home if I need to Evie"

　　"Or you could go on your merry delusional way Orion" I tell him and he growls stepping forward.

　　"Try it, I fucking dare you" I tell him.

　　"Oh for fucks sake can we not argue for one bloody day, it is too early for this shit" Ryland says.

　　"Evelyn now!" Orion orders. I turn away continuing to the dirt patch when I feel myself jerked back by my shirt.

　　"Enough you're coming home with us" Ryland says.

　　"Just go, I will catch up" I tell him. He jerks me back to him refusing to let go before he starts walking. Pulling me backwards by my shirt. I pull my arms through slipping it off before stumbling backwards, my heel hitting something in the ground and I land on my ass.

　　"Evelyn!" Ryland growls spinning around holding my shirt in his hand yet I was too focused on what I tripped on something red peeking out of the ground.

　　A round cylinder barely visible under the dirt, compacted into the ground. I start digging at it trying to unbury it when I am ripped upwards by my arm.

　　"Stop it Evelyn, let's go home" Orion says and I elbow him . He groans, letting go and I start digging with my hands again, finding the edge. Ryland reaches down to grab me then stops noticing what I am trying to get out of the dirt.

　　I pull it out seeing a small digital screen. When suddenly Ryland snatches it from my hand looking at it.

　　I snatch it back, turning it over. It was some sort of device. Yet it felt empty, I shook it.

　　"Don't shake it, I think that's a pipe bomb,”Ryland says and I shake it again, trying to listen for anything in it.

　　“Evelyn stop shaking it, what if it goes off?" Ryland says.

　　"It's hollow" I tell him before looking at Orion. I ram it in his chest and he grabs it in his hands looking at it before looking at me, his lips part in shock.

　　"Still think I'm fucking delusional" I tell him before walking off to go home.
