A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 33

She wrote two full pages, putting all her thoughts into words in a simple and concise way.

After finishing, she tucked the bank card into the suicide note and wrote “To Hailey” on the envelope.

She hesitated for a moment, then took out another piece of paper and wanted to write something for Bernard, but she didn’t know what

to say.

In the end, she only wrote a few words – his name – and then put down the pen, folded the paper, and put it in the drawer.

After she left, Hailey would surely come to clean up her belongings, and then she would find what she had left for her. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Having done all this, Eleanor took her medicine. Tonight she had a heavy task, and she had to steady herself, or she would fail at the last minute.

After taking the medicine, she opened the locked desk drawer and took out a small jar of sleeping pills she had saved for about ten days.

She put the sleeping pills, the forged contract, and the dagger into a bag, then took out her phone and booked a hotel.

She went to set things up at the hotel first, then sent the address to Josef via text message.

She didn’t add Josef on WhatsApp, thinking that he had texted her before, so she used this method to send him the address.

Mr. Caporal, Jade Bay Hotel, room 2088, I’m waiting for you.

She thought Josef would come straight over after seeing the message, but he unexpectedly replied with a question mark

Eleanor frowned slightly at the question mark. Wasn’t it agreed that he would give him the contract tonight?

As she was puzzled, he sent another message: Wait for me.

Only then did Eleanor let go of her doubts, put down her phone, and took out the sleeping pills.

She poured all the pills in the bottle into a wine glass, picked up the dagger, and used the tip of the knife to crush the pills a little bit.

Last time, she was going to fight to the death with Josef, but she didn’t prepare enough that time. This time, she had to kill him!

She didn’t want to be tortured by him, nor did she want to involve Hailey. There was no other way out but to kill him!

She crushed the pills, poured the wine into the glass, and hid the dagger under the pillow.

After doing all this, Eleanor turned off the lights, sat on the couch, and waited quietly.

About 20 minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Hearing the sound, Eleanor tried her best to stay calm, but her body trembled slightly.

She was very nervous and scared, but things had come to this point, and all she could do was follow the plan.

Putting down the wine bottle, she calmed herself down, walked over to the door, and slowly opened it.

A man appeared outside the door wearing a bronze–colored mask, his entire face hidden.

At the first sight of him, Eleanor knew something was off. She tried to close the door, but he forced his way in.

The man quickly and skillfully turned off all the lights in the room after entering.

The room was plunged into darkness, and Eleanor could only see where he was standing through the dim light from outside the window.

Eleanor’s body trembled as she observed the man standing near the door.

This man definitely wasn’t Josef!

From his height and build, he seemed more like Bernard.

But Bernard had a faint cedar scent, while this man had a strong cologne smell.

Bernard’s hair was always neat, while this man’s hair was in a mess.

Bernard liked to wear business attire, while he was dressed in casual and loose clothing.

W

A white shirt paired with brown capri pants was attire that Bernard would never wear.

And, on his exposed collarbone, there was a long, slender tattoo of a fearsome azure dragon.

Bernard had severe cleanliness issues; he would never tattoo his skin, nor would he ever appear to her in such a way!

After ruling out Bernard, Eleanor was sure that the person in front of her was a stranger, someone impersonating Josef,
