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.

“Josef!”

Her booming voice stopped Josef’s wandering hands in their tracks.

But he only paused for a moment before leaning down to tug at her panties.

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.”

It became evident that Josef was unfazed by the prospect. In that moment, Eleanor felt a profound sense of powerlessness. She had not merely tangled with an ordinary scoundrel, but a wealthy and influential individual who could effortlessly manipulate the news to his advantage. She couldn’t confront him directly.

Gradually, Eleanor’s rationality began to resurface. To navigate a situation involving someone like Josef, physical confrontation or attempting to match his background and power would be futile. To protect herself, she had to learn the art of pretense.
