Once his goal was achieved, Jason Lockwood left.
Eleanor Bishop was left alone in the room.
The moment she heard the door close, Eleanor Bishop couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
'If I had known this would be the price for getting involved with Archie, I never, ever would have done it…'
'Archie, I'm so sorry. I'm truly sorry…'
Eleanor Bishop didn't go home. She stayed in the hotel all day.
As darkness began to fall outside, she picked up her handbag, took out her phone, and opened her contacts. Her eyes filled with pain as she stared at the familiar number…
'She knew that if she made this call, Archie would probably hate her forever…'
Her hand trembled as she tapped the screen, her heart pounding with anxiety…
'A part of her hoped Archie wouldn't answer, that he wouldn't come. But another part of her was terrified he wouldn't. If he didn't, Jason Lockwood would never let her go…'
But the phone didn't even ring twice before the call connected.
