Chapter 63 Bruno

• The sleek, contemporary office was filled with the rhythmic tapping of keys as Eloise Escobar went over the most recent financial reports. Warm light streamed through the tall glass windows, illuminating her well-organized desk that held a few mementos from her life, including a pen holder shaped like the Colosseum, a small potted plant, and a framed picture of a brown-haired, wide-eyed boy smiling toothily.
• The years had been kind to Eloise. Gone was the fragile girl entangled in a web of love and betrayal. A self-assured and composed woman, who was the manager of a well-known marketing company located in the center of Barcelona, took her place. Her once-long, blonde hair had been chopped into a sleek, black, shoulder-length bob that went well with her polished appearance.
