A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1326

Mr. Quartus' stint in solitary was up and he was promptly set free.

Upon being released, he gathered his henchmen and barged into the room where Sophie and Mr. Ben were making love, kicking the door open with a swift boot.

His men, dressed in black, yanked Sophie and Mr. Ben from their bed, dragging them onto the floor like sacks of potatoes.

Mr. Quartus, wearing a mask, looked at Sophie as though her sight stung his eyes, and with another swift kick, flipped her over.

The completely naked Sophie was ogled by the gang of burly men, causing her face to pale and her body to tremble with rage.

Caught off guard, Sophie and Mr. Ben were pinned down by the men in black, immobilized. Sophie could only lift her head, grit her teeth and glare at Mr. Quartus, "You dare treat me this way, Quartus, aren't you afraid of 1-2 coming after you?" Sophie spat at him.

"Oh, I'm terrified." Mr. Quartus retorted, cleaning his boot across the carpet in a casual manner.

"Then release us immediately!" Sophie demanded.

Mr. Quartus scoffed, too lazy to argue, and gave his men a simple command.

"Throw this pair into the snake pit!" he ordered.

Sophie, in disbelief, stared wide-eyed at Mr. Quartus, "Ben and I are the right and left hands of 1-2, you wouldn't dare!"

"Oh, wouldn't I?" he smirked, nodding at his henchmen.

The men in black promptly hauled Sophie and Mr. Ben off the ground, dragging them towards the elevator.

Ben, trained from a young age in the art of survival, managed to break free and rushed over to Sophie, grabbing her wrist and fending off the approaching men.

Just as Mr. Quartus was about to shoot, Ben shoved Sophie into a hidden escape tunnel.
