A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 519

In a rundown shack on a desolate island off the coast, Eleanor was tied to a chair, her lips sealed shut with layers of duct tape.

The suffocating sensation slowly roused her from unconsciousness. The moment she lifted her eyelids, she saw a bunch of nasty–looking dudes surrounding her

They were all big thugs, gripping weapons like iron rods, and bone knives in their hands

Sunlight fittered through the cracks in the wooden shack, casting a silvery sheen on the gleaming blades

The blinding light pierced Eleanor’s eyes, making her heart race.

Instinctively, she tried to struggle, only to discover she was bound on both her hands and feet. She was unable to move.

A scar–faced man pushed his way through the crowd. His heavy boots thudded against the floor.
