A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1056

As Yeager's hand brushed against her face, Hailey finally snapped out of her shock.

"Yeager, I’ll give you anything you want... as long as you stop pestering me..."

While she said this, her hand was tightly gripping her phone, her thumb furiously pressing on the fingerprint sensor.

She wanted to trigger the emergency alert, or open up the keypad to dial the number 1.

That was Eleanor’s number. All she had to do was press 1 and... but...

Yeager caught on to her movements, swiftly grabbing her wrist from behind and snatching the phone from her.

"Trying to call Cedric, huh?”

A cold smirk spread across Yeager’s face.

“Hailey, he's given up on you. He won’t come to rescue you, so stop holding your breath."

Yeager picked up Hailey's phone and casually tossed it into a nearby ice bucket.

The bucket was filled with bottles of wine, ice cubes, and water. As soon as the phone hit the liquid, the screen quickly went black.

Looking at her now useless phone, the last glimmer of hope in Hailey’s eyes faded.

“I never intended to call Cedric, this is just your inferiority complex acting up.”

He was the one who felt inadequate next to Cedric, that’s why he kept bringing him up.

“No matter what you say, his girl is now under me."

After he said this, Yeager gripped Hailey, who was straining to rise and flee.

"Hailey, good girl, don’t move..."

He held her soft body beneath his, beginning to fumble with the buttons on her clothing.

Hailey felt feverish, her mind shrouded in a fog. If it weren't for the sliver of sanity she clung to, she might not even have been able to recognize the man looming over her...

She knew she lacked the strength to push Yeager away. All she could do was scan the room with blurry eyes.

The room was a glass chamber, situated in the center of the garden, with not a single window. It was completely sealed off, invisible from the outside.

If she wanted to escape, she'd have to pass through the main door. But with Yeager present, there was little chance...

Her gaze lingered on the ice bucket before returning to Yeager.

"If you get me, will you be satisfied?"

Yeager, who was slowly unbuttoning her clothes, looked up with bright eyes and gave Hailey a smile.

"You..."

Hailey, who had been practising yoga and Pilates for years, slid her hand down his back while whispering in his ear:

"Your mother was right. I've been around the block. Who knows what kind of person I am, or how many people I've been with?"

Upon hearing this, Yeager's eyes darkened. There was a hint of disgust, but he didn't show it because of his anticipation.

"I never thought you had a double-faced personality."

Hailey turned her head and raised her long, curled eyelashes. After staring into Yeager's eyes for a couple of seconds, she laughed.

"Everyone has two sides!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hailey abruptly wielded the tie in her hand, wrapping it around Yeager's neck from behind.

Her movements were swift, resolute. She used all her strength to choke him, without any hesitation.

Yeager, already weakened by the aphrodisiac, could barely muster the strength to resist. As Hailey throttled him, he suddenly found himself gasping for air...

Hailey was acutely aware that she wouldn't be able to overpower him for long. Without wasting any time, she shoved Yeager onto the floor and straddled him.

Using her body weight to pin him down, she stomped on the tie with her foot to free her hand, then reached for a wine bottle from the ice bucket nearby.
