Chapter 1324
Seeing the moment Cameron pushed Eleanor overboard off the yacht, and she pulled him down with
her, Bernard felt as if his heart had stopped beating. His handsome face turned ashen, his usually
vibrant eyes clouded over.
He stared at the screen, watching as the waves swallowed them up, hoping for a miracle. But only
Cameron emerged from the churning sea before it calmed.
After the video stopped, the world around him seemed to darken, and silence fell. A feeling of
weightlessness overcame him, as if he were falling into a bottomless pit with no hope in sight. Bernard
tried to lift his hand to touch the bite mark just above his collarbone, but it trembled and fell several
times before he could finally steady it with all his strength.
She had said, “If my life is in danger and it threatens you, Bernard, know this. I came here ready to die
If you live, we fight together. If you die, I die with you. We promised each other, for better or for worse,
in sickness and in health.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhile she was ready to live and die with him, his arrogance led him to believe that he was protecting
her by pushing her away.
But did he really protect her? If he did, why did she fall into the sea?
In the past, his so-called protection had already cost her life once, and now, he had lost her again.
Remembering the look of despair in Eleanor’s eyes when she was forced to sign the divorce papers,
Bernard felt a chill run through him.
It turned out that his presumptuous decisions were always a mistake…
He thought by pushing her away, she and their child could survive. Little did he know that the demons
from hell were always lurking behind her.
The moment he let his guard down, they would tear her to pieces and devour her, leaving him with
nothing but regret.
He was wrong. He was truly wrong. He shouldn’t have pretended to be with another women, hurting
her without considering the consequences.
He shouldn’t have left her alone, crying, after causing her pain.
He should have held her, shielding her from all harm.
Even if it meant they both died on the spot, at least they would be together. As long as they were
together, his Eleanor wouldn’t have to face death alone.
In this moment, Bernard was filled with regret. The guilt was overwhelming, consuming his every
sense.
He could no longer hear or see anything. His mind felt like a snapped string, and he felt as if his entire
being was collapsing.
His hand, which was still resting on his collarbone, moved away. Without hesitation, he slapped himself
across the face, leaving a clear imprint of his fingers on his flawless cheek.
The slap caused the recently stitched wound on his back to split open, soaking his shirt with blood that
dripped onto the floor. But he felt no pain, only numbness. He slumped against the wall, his hair,
eyebrows, and cheeks all reflecting his despair.
From the very beginning, he had agreed to come to Area Opaca to escape Siren Organization, thinking
he could live a peaceful life with her after this. But now, his initial determination was

gone.
Once a person loses their faith, their world crumbles. It’s like having the blood drawn from their bones,
leaving them vulnerable to countless diseases, invading their body relentlessly.
That was Bernard at this moment, devoid of all hope.
Seeing Bernard like this, Sophie clapped her hands in delight, ‘That bitch is finally dead. I’m so happy!”
She sauntered over to Bernard, bent down, and hit the play button again, “My dad said she died
horribly. I wonder if she was eaten by a shark or bitten by some other sea creature. Either way, there’s
nothing left of her…”
Bernard, his heart as cold as ashes, gave no reaction, his gaze intently fixed on the video.
Sophie moved her hand from the phone to Bernard’s face, tracing his brows, nose, and lips with her
finger as if she were teasing a lover, “But I can tell you all the gruesome details of her death… for a
price…”
Sophie’s finger moved to Bernard’s chiseled jaw, lifting it before leaning in towards those thin lips she
had longed for but never dared to touch, “Be with me for one night, and I’ll tell you everything.”
