Regret Novel 28

Chapter 28

Evander eased himself into the visitor’s chair, crossing his long legs. He cut a striking figure–tall, broad–shouldered, effortlessly elegant in any suit he wore. His looks were the stuff of college legend, the kind that turned heads and made people whisper, all chiseled features and

movie–star charm.

He’d been the campus heartthrob back in college, the man every girl swooned over. Yet, for three years, he’d quietly showered her with affection in private, nearly bringing her to the altar.
