A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1324

Chapter 1324 

Seeing the moment Cameron pushed Eleanor overboard off the yacht, and she pulled him down with her, Bernard felt as if his heart had stopped beating. His handsome face turned ashen, his usually vibrant eyes clouded over. 

He stared at the screen, watching as the waves swallowed them up, hoping for a miracle. But only Cameron emerged from the churning sea before it calmed. 

After the video stopped, the world around him seemed to darken, and silence fell. A feeling of weightlessness overcame him, as if he were falling into a bottomless pit with no hope in sight. Bernard tried to lift his hand to touch the bite mark just above his collarbone, but it trembled and fell several times before he could finally steady it with all his strength. 

She had said, “If my life is in danger and it threatens you, Bernard, know this. I came here ready to die If you live, we fight together. If you die, I die with you. We promised each other, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health.” 

While she was ready to live and die with him, his arrogance led him to believe that he was protecting her by pushing her away. 

But did he really protect her? If he did, why did she fall into the sea? 

In the past, his so-called protection had already cost her life once, and now, he had lost her again. 

Remembering the look of despair in Eleanor’s eyes when she was forced to sign the divorce papers, Bernard felt a chill run through him. 

It turned out that his presumptuous decisions were always a mistake… 

He thought by pushing her away, she and their child could survive. Little did he know that the demons from hell were always lurking behind her. 

The moment he let his guard down, they would tear her to pieces and devour her, leaving him with nothing but regret. 

He was wrong. He was truly wrong. He shouldn’t have pretended to be with another women, hurting her without considering the consequences. 

He shouldn’t have left her alone, crying, after causing her pain. 

He should have held her, shielding her from all harm. 

Even if it meant they both died on the spot, at least they would be together. As long as they were together, his Eleanor wouldn’t have to face death alone. 

In this moment, Bernard was filled with regret. The guilt was overwhelming, consuming his every sense. 

He could no longer hear or see anything. His mind felt like a snapped string, and he felt as if his entire being was collapsing. 

His hand, which was still resting on his collarbone, moved away. Without hesitation, he slapped himself across the face, leaving a clear imprint of his fingers on his flawless cheek. 

The slap caused the recently stitched wound on his back to split open, soaking his shirt with blood that dripped onto the floor. But he felt no pain, only numbness. He slumped against the wall, his hair, eyebrows, and cheeks all reflecting his despair. 

From the very beginning, he had agreed to come to Area Opaca to escape Siren Organization, thinking he could live a peaceful life with her after this. But now, his initial determination was 

gone.
