A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 42

For the first time in his life, Josef had a finger cut off by someone else! He had been careless, in such a hurry to correct the contract with the Laurence Group, that he even forgot to bring his bodyguards. If he had, he could still be fighting back now. Instead, because he was alone, he had been reduced to a prisoner of a masked man.

No matter what this man wanted to do, Josef swore to seek revenge once he escaped. While Josef was thinking of escaping, the man was planning to kill him right there.

The man, standing proudly, was guarded by a bodyguard standing behind Josef. He lifted his foot abruptly and kicked Josef hard in the knee. With no guard up, Josef fell to his knees, his hands on the floor, kneeling in front of the man in an incredibly humiliating way.

This immense disgrace angered Josef to the point where he didn't care about anything else. He raised his head, gritted his teeth, and roared at the man in front of him. "Bastard, you dare treat me like this. I will kill you!"

The man sneered and stopped wasting words with him. He picked up the knife in his hand, sliced open Josef's wrist, and severed his tendons! As Josef screamed in agony, the man lifted the knife, starting from the middle of his upper lip, and sliced his mouth in half!

Then, with incredible speed, he sliced open Josef's thigh, using so much force that they could clearly see the bone in his thigh! All this time, the man didn't blink once. His gaze was cold and deliberate, treating Josef like a piece of raw meat.

"You have kissed her, hugged her, and even let her sit on your thigh. This is the punishment you deserve!"

In extreme pain, Josef was on the verge of fainting. He could see the man's mouth opening and closing, but he couldn't hear what he was saying. Seeing that Josef was already crippled, the man finally dropped the knife, accepted a handkerchief from a bodyguard, and slowly wiped the blood off his hands.

"Sir, it's time to go," reminded the bodyguard who had first cut off Josef's fingers. After the man nodded lightly, he walked out without even looking at Josef.

After the man got into his car, the bodyguard waved his hand at the others and dozens of SUVs left. Josef, who had already fainted from the pain, was left behind with no one to look after him.
