A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1463

Tall and imposing, Bernard had changed back into his black suit, which made him look like the garb of a spectral envoy from the netherworld, an aura of chilling detachment emanating from him. His alabaster complexion and the barely concealed fury in his eyes seemed to threaten the very air around him.
