A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 519

Chapter 519 

In a rundown shack on a desolate island off the coast, Eleanor was tied to a chair, her lips sealed shut with layers of duct tape. 

The suffocating sensation slowly roused her from unconsciousness. The moment she lifted her eyelids, she saw a bunch of nasty–looking dudes surrounding her 

They were all big thugs, gripping weapons like iron rods, and bone knives in their hands 

Sunlight fittered through the cracks in the wooden shack, casting a silvery sheen on the gleaming blades 

The blinding light pierced Eleanor’s eyes, making her heart race. 

Instinctively, she tried to struggle, only to discover she was bound on both her hands and feet. She was unable to move. 

“Save your energy, sweetheart, there’s no escaping this. 

A scar–faced man pushed his way through the crowd. His heavy boots thudded against the floor. 

At the sight of the scar–faced man, Eleanor quickly realized they were after Mr. Law 

Eleanor eyed the approaching man, her mind was racing 

They kidnapped her, probably hoping to pry out the identity of Mr. Law from her. 

As long as she claimed she’d never met Mr. Law, Bernard would be safe. 

Knowing their motives eased her fear of the unknown. 

Judging by their intimidating display of weapons, it looked like she was in for a beating…. 

Eleanor moped, wondering how she would negotiate with these thugs to minimize her injuries when… 

The door of the shack creaked open as a man dressed in a suit and sunglasses strolled in. 

Despite his hidden eyes, Eleanor recognized him- the former Chairman of VitaLife Global, Cameron Ratliff. 

Eleanor felt an odd sense of familiarity when she saw him. Probably because she used to work for his company. 

She never expected Cameron to be the man who ordered her kidnapping. What did he want with Mr. Law? 

When Cameron arrived, the scar–faced man quickly brought a chair over and placed in front of Eleanor. 

Once seated, Cameron took out a cigar, lit it, and gestured at the scar–faced man. 

He quickly got the message and tore the duct tape from Eleanor’s mouth. 

Finally able to breathe, Eleanor gulped down fresh air while wincing at the pain…. 

“Great to see you again, Ms. Shultz,” Cameron said coldly.
