A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1150

"Yeah, those guys were sent by Tyler. He just wanted to scare you, but Hubert caught wind of it. He immediately suggested that I pay them to really rape you. I was so caught up in the moment, thinking that if Tyler fell, I wouldn't have to put up with his crap anymore, so I made a decision..."

Karan finished, her hand gently stroking Liana’s face.

"I'm sorry, Liana. I was out of my mind, blinded by Tyler's lies. I would never have hurt you. Seeing what happened to you, I was racked with guilt...”

Liana stayed still, letting the ice-cold hand trace her face. Her blood ran cold, like falling into a frigid lake, unable to break free, imprisoned by the chill.

She knew Karan was mixing truth and lies. The only believable part was that Tyler didn't really want those guys to hurt her, just to scare her. Was that the reason Tyler never explained himself?

Suppressing her anger, Liana slowly raised her eyes to meet Karan's non-violent gaze and quietly asked her.

"Did he not explain himself when you were punishing him?”

While in the hospital, Liana heard that, apart from the few who had fallen into the water on the spot, the rest who were sent to jail didn't disclose who was behind it all, saving Tyler the trouble.

Only after Liana woke up and was questioned by Karan did she accuse Tyler. Tyler had stood by her hospital bed, wanting to explain something, but after a few slaps from Karan, he chose to remain silent.

Liana knew that after Tyler was taken away by the Howell family, he was severely punished. Though she hadn't seen it herself, she saw a badly wounded Tyler outside her hospital room. He wanted to come in, but Karan wouldn't let him near.

Until Liana recovered and became pregnant, Tyler never saw her alone. He didn't explain anything when she had the abortion. If he was just trying to scare her, why didn't he explain?

Karan wasn't keen on telling Liana, but seeing as Liana didn't blame her, she spilled the beans.
