A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 8

Josef didn’t give a da mn about her feelings and yanked off her nightgown.

As his hands, covered in delicate calluses grazed her lower back, Eleanor screamed in terror.

Eleanor was livid, “If you force me today, I’ll sue your a s s in court tomorrow!”

Josef’s hand stopped for a moment again but then burst out laughing like he’d just heard the funniest joke, “I’m not scared of the cops, and I sure as hell ain’t scared of you suing me.”

Eleanor clenched her fists, gritting her teeth, “I know the Caporal family is powerful and influential, but this is the age of media. If you dare to use your power to make this go away, I’ll report you publicly in front of the media!”

Josef casually raised an eyebrow, remarking, “Sure, go ahead and expose me to the media. It’s been a while since I’ve been in the spotlight.”
