Chapter 176: Little Help
REAGAN POV
I stared at Evie, Dahlia’s sister as she sat down in my study, looking like she owned the place. She sat still with a cup of tea in her hand which she sipped with the elegance of a princess even though she looked anything but. She was dressed in all leather with long laced up boots and she wore couple of holsters with strapped on garters which held weapons of some sort.
It took all I had in me not to grab her and slam her down on the table for what she had her father did to Dahlia but I held myself back because Killian claimed she had an important information for us all. But I also held myself back because of Dahlia, it doesn’t matter what she did. She was still Dahlia sister, a kid no less.
"Okay, you have ten seconds to tell me why you are here or I am going to throw you out!" I demanded, breaking the silence.
Evie finally raised her eyes to look at me, a slow smile appeared on her face as she carefully set the cup down on the table. "Well this is not the welcome I expected from my brother in law."
"Considering the last time you were here, you tried to kill Celeste and you framed my wife."
"I was just following orders, you are familiar with that routine very well so you should know how it is." Evie shot me a wink and behind me Killian snorted.
We all turned to look at him with raised brows. Killian cleared his throat as he straightened in while trying not to look as guilty as he was. I turned back to look at Evie who was watching the whole thing with amusement in her gaze. There was just something about her that felt different than the last time we saw her and it took me a minute to realize that it was because her eyes were clear. They looked like they contained more emotions than the last time I saw her where she had nothing on but a hollow look and a murderous look in her eyes.
Was the drug out of her system? I asked as my gaze narrowed in on her.
Evie caught me looking at her and she arched a brow up at me on response. "Something the matter brother in law."
"I don’t know, I was wondering you would tell me since you showed up here unannounced." I said before I leaned forward to stare at her, "Why are you really here Evie? What do you want and why choose all these years to show up to my house?"
