A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1318

The moment Eleanor stepped out of the Life Door, she suddenly fainted. When she woke up, she found herself back on the deserted island she had originally arrived on, with her suitcase and a note with an address to collect her prize money nearby.

Area Opaca would leave the cash at the designated spot for the successful players to pick up, probably to avoid any traces leading back to them.

She put away the address in her suitcase and got up to look for a ship by the shore. While she didn't find a ship, she did run into an acquaintance - one she would rather avoid.

Cameron Ratliff, due to his own daughter's situation, had now become the leader of a group of men in black from the Area Opaca gang. He was standing on the beach with his men, waving at Eleanor.

"Ms. Shultz, long time no see," he greeted.

Eleanor knew exactly what Cameron had planned the moment she saw him. She turned and ran. Cameron gestured, and his men in black swiftly moved to intercept her.

Eleanor was fast, quickly disappearing into the tall grass. The men in black were taller than Eleanor, so they could see where she was headed. They leisurely followed her trail, parting the grass with their blades.

Once they had their fill of the chase, they quickly found Eleanor, threw a black hood over her head, and hoisted her up onto their shoulders. They carried her straight onto a ship.

Only when the ship had sailed into the desolate deep sea did Cameron order his men to remove her hood.

As her vision cleared, Eleanor looked up at the man standing on deck. She knew in her heart that he was her biological father, yet he was planning to kill her for the sake of his other daughter.

Cameron looked at Eleanor's face, a slight frown on his. Every time he saw her, he found her familiar, especially her eyes and eyebrows, which resembled those of Sophie Ratliff and somewhat his own. While this resemblance was comforting, it also made him uncomfortable. Nevertheless, he put away his blade and motioned for Eleanor to jump into the sea.

Eleanor looked at the blue-green sea, recalling how Vanya Pine had mentioned in a video that Cameron had pushed her, Emilia, and their newborn sister into the sea to save Sophie and her mother. She laughed at the irony of history repeating itself.

Mustering up her strength, Eleanor dusted herself off, got up from the deck, and without any fear, walked towards Cameron.

"Why did you help Katrina?" she asked.

At the mention of Katrina, Cameron froze in surprise.

"How do you know her?" he asked.
