A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 35

After being blindfolded, her eyes were plunged into complete darkness - not even a speck of light was visible.

The terror of the darkness made her feel as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, struggling in vain to escape.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized she had bumped into an even bigger and more troublesome jerk than Josef!

Scared out of her wits, she broke out in cold sweat, and her legs went weak.

With her eyes covered and hands tied, she had completely lost the initiative!

The only thing she could do now was to calm down and try to communicate with him.

"Sir," she clenched her teeth and asked with a trembling voice, "what the hell are you trying to do?"

The man didn't answer, but instead lifted her up.

Eleanor felt herself being lifted into the air, and then thrown onto a soft bed.

She thought the man would violate her, but he didn't lay a finger on her. Instead, he sat next to her.

Feeling the bed sinking nearby, Eleanor guessed she was lying right in the middle.

She remembered hiding a dagger behind the pillow. As long as she managed to move towards the pillow, she could get the dagger and cut the ropes.

She immediately used the strength of her legs to move her body upwards.

Just as her head was about to touch the pillow, the man suddenly pressed her down.

She felt his weight on top of her, and then his hoarse voice sounded in her ears.

"You invited Josef to the hotel and drugged his drink. What's the meaning of this?"

Eleanor froze.

Wasn't he supposed to be carrying out a perfect crime? Why was he asking something that had nothing to do with him?

Could it be that Josef saw through her plan and sent this man to probe her intentions?

No way!
