A Second Chance: The Billionaire's Quest for Forgiveness

Heath Rynn, the CEO of Warner Group, had been on a five-day business trip and was returning today. Unusually, this time, he didn't take his assistant, Prisley, with him.Prisley had prepared the CEO’s office with freesia flowers. Their subtle fragrance lingered in the air. Heath liked this scent.In her own office, Prisley straightened her hair with a flat iron, then put it up in a high bun. Her original hair was long with golden slightly curly locks. But for the past four years, she had always styled it straight, trying to look like a specific woman, including her way of dressing and behavior.Once her hair was done, Prisley sprayed some perfume into the air above her. She walked through the mist, frowning slightly. She didn't like this perfume, but she had to cater to Heath.Yes, this was also part of her job. She was not only Heath's assistant but also his secret lover, bound by a five-year contract. It was her duty to be in her best condition before his return.The assistant's offi

Prisley’s breath caught as she looked at the check. Her eyes flashed with surprise.Heath glanced at the resignation letter on the desk, his gaze even colder. He picked up the letter and slowly tore it in pieces. He stared at Prisley, "Her return has nothing to do with you. The contract isn’t up yet."His light blue eyes were like icy lake water, sending a shiver down Prisley’s spine. She remained silent for a moment, trying to steady her breathing."Mr. Rynn, the meeting with David is starting in ten minutes. You should go now." She tried to keep her voice steady, but it still trembled.Heath stood up, walked around the desk, and lifted her chin with his fingers. "How dare you think of leaving me?" His possessiveness radiated from him. Then he straightened his tie and walked out. "Go to the meeting," he said over his shoulder.In the conference room, the company’s senior executives were seated. Denis, Heath’s brother as well as the vice president, watched Heath stroll in leisurely. "H

"Prisley, you don't have to go tonight." Heath said. His tone was deep with melancholy."Why not? You already agreed with Steve."Heath drew her closer and tightened his embrace. "I just... don't want you to go." His gaze softened, showing a hint of vulnerability that was quite different from his previous icy cold.Caught off guard by this rare display of emotion from Heath, Prisley felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Despite being together for four years, she had rarely seen this side of him.She leaned against him, feeling Heath's firm chest. Just as she was about to comfort him, Heath suddenly released her. His eyes turned cold again."You can go now." He walked out of the office, leaving Prisley behind.Heath felt an inexplicable anger. Just because Filla was back, Prisley wanted to leave him. And she seemed determined to do it, showing no signs of changing her mind.Heath was in a bad mood. He wanted Prisley to stay with him tonight. Even if they just stayed in the same room with

Heath froze. His body temperature dropped in an instant. The fire in his eyes extinguished, turning cold as a glacier in mere seconds.Prisley shivered involuntarily.He was always high and mighty, surrounded by admirers, never having been teased with like this.Prisley had been compliant for the past four years, indulging his every whim, no matter how outrageous or demanding. And now she dared to play him?His face darkened like a storm cloud. He looked at Prisley, her once docile and pure face now like an angry kitten showing its claws and fangs."Very well, fulfill the contract. Perfect!" he said through gritted teeth.Heath buttoned up his shirt. Coldly and heavily pressed a kiss onto Prisley's lips before turning to leave.The room's amorous atmosphere vanished instantly. Prisley still felt a chill down her spine. She had actually angered him...She pressed the back of her hand to her lips, which were a bit sore, tasting the metallic tang of blood in her mouth.Two kisses like thi

Prisley had always been careful about contraception. After all, it was a clause in her contract.She remembered about five weeks ago, Heathe had been unusually passionate one day. Rarely, he came to her apartment and they made love from day to night. They made love from day to night and ran out of condoms. The last half of the passionate day was unprotected and wild.The next morning, they were both busy with a business trip, and Prisley forgot to take the morning-after pill.Retracing the timeline, that would have been about the time Filla announced her return. Prisley didn't know whether to feel happy or sad. She ran her fingers through her hair, tugging at it in frustration."Damn, how could I have missed that day?"She was only 26, and her career was just taking off. Having a baby now didn't seem like a good idea. And she wasn't sure if Heath wanted children. His cold and distant nature made it difficult to imagine his reaction to hearing this news. And his recent erratic behavior
