A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 516

A City.

Aidyn couldn't reach Liana, so he hustled over to her place, but she was nowhere to be found.

Without a second thought, Aidyn sped off to the hospital.

There, he found out from the doctors that Liana had been forcibly taken by Tyler.

And to top it off, Tyler had the audacity to hurt Eleanor!

Messing with Mr. Laurence's lady? Was he asking for a death wish?

Fuming, Aidyn whipped out his phone to call Bernard.

But Bernard was already flying high in his private jet, with his phone switched off.

Aidyn had no choice but to download the surveillance footage and send it to Bernard's phone, then make a beeline for B City to find Liana.

The next morning, as Eleanor was deep in focus, pencil in hand, finalizing the last building on the blueprint, her phone rang. S

he glanced at the caller ID, and her hand slipped, sending her pencil skidding off the ruler.

There on the screen, the name 'Ethan Ziegler' made her pause before she reached for the phone.

Ethan hadn't called since he returned to the G country, and now suddenly he was on the line. Was he coming back?

Sure enough, the first words out of Ethan's mouth were, "I'm back."

His deep voice on the other end of the line made Eleanor freeze up.

She simply murmured a soft "mm-hmm," not daring to respond or ask why Ethan was back.

Eleanor was surprised that Ethan, all the way in the G country, was in the loop about her affairs. "Yes," she admitted.

A smirk appeared in Ethan's eyes at her firm reply. "I've told you before, Bernard isn't right for you. Why are you still with him?"

Eleanor put down her pencil, her brow furrowed. "Ethan, you keep saying Bernard and I aren't a good match. What do you mean by that?"

Instead of answering, Ethan casually said, "I'll come see you in a bit. Just stay put."

Before Eleanor could ask why he wanted to see her, he hung up. When she tried to call back, he wouldn't pick up.

Eleanor had a feeling Ethan's visit wouldn't be good news, so she quickly rolled up her blueprints, and planned to wait for him at Bernard's mansion.

But as she got up, a scar-faced man suddenly came in through the window and gagged her with a cloth.

She didn't even have time to scream or struggle. A few seconds later, her eyes rolled back, and she passed out.
