Semua Bab A Second Chance: The Billionaire's Quest for Forgiveness : Bab 51 - Bab 60

Prisley woke up from a coma in the middle of the night. The maid, hearing the noise, quickly came over to attend to her."Miss Anderson, would you like something to eat? I have prepared different kind of food for you."Prisley shook her head blankly. "I don't want to eat anything.""Mr. Rynn instructed that you must take enough nutrition."Prisley didn't reply, a look of contempt flashing in her eyes."I don't have appetite. Can you please leave my room? I want to rest.""But Mr. Rynn asked me to stay with you..." The maid was hesitant to leave, torn between the master's orders and Prisley's wishes."I said I want to be alone. If there's anything, let Heath come to me." She spoke weakly.The maid hesitated for a moment but eventually left the room with anxiousness.Prisley checked both arms carefully but found no needle marks. She remembered the blood-drawing equipment and test tubes were all swept onto the floor. Maybe that was why they hadn't used it. She sighed in relief.She wanted

“What is she doing?! Her room is on the third floor!”Heath quickly dialed another number.“Sam, did you see the surveillance?” His tone was icy.“Yes, sir, we’re on our way,” Sam replied, panting heavily, clearly running.“Protect her, don’t let her get hurt!” Heath growled through gritted teeth.Steve's eyes widened, his mouth half-open. “Are you... are you keeping Prisley locked up? Is she trying to escape?”Heath's face was dark, and he remained silent.“Heath, she’s going to hate you for this. Trust me, I know her,” Steve continued to buzz around him.“You know her personality, right? She’s too strong-willed to give in easily. The more you suppress her, the more stubborn she’ll become…”“Shut up! You talked too much!” Heath finally snapped at Steve.Heath pressed the intercom button on his desk. “Tell Peter to prepare the car. I need to go home immediately.”“This is none of your business, get out,” he said curtly to Steve.Heath was beginning to sweat lightly. Prisley was actuall

Prisley knew Heath was insane. It seemed her only option was to die by his side. She felt frustrated but had no other choice. So, she decided to become a living dead.From then on, Prisley stopped talking. When the maids brought food, she took a few bites and then had them take it away. After eating, she locked herself in the room and slept. She knew Heath had installed cameras in her room, so even if she couldn't sleep, she still lay there with her eyes closed.The long hours of work and constant fear had taken a toll on her mental state. With enough sleep, her mind seemed to become more active."Emma, how was her appetite today?" Heath routinely asked the maid."Miss Anderson ate very little, just like yesterday." Emma repliedHeath sighed deeply."Sir... there's something I think I should tell you," Emma knew Heath's temper well."Go ahead.""The food Miss Anderson eats each day is only half of the healthy amount. If this continues...""I know." Heath felt a wave of irritation.Pris

"Prisley! Is that you?" Mark exclaimed.Prisley brushed her messy hair back, her smile wide. She hadn't felt this happy in a long time.Mark rushed forward and hugged her tightly. "Where did you go? I heard about Kenzell. I regret leaving you there."Mark felt a bittersweet pain of having found something he had lost."I looked everywhere for you. Where have you been? Please, don't leave again." Mark's voice was choked. His eyes felt hot.Prisley looked more worn out than before, frail and sickly. Mark glanced at her and hugged her again.Prisley's long-suppressed emotions were suddenly stirred up. "I'm not leaving. I'm staying right here."Her eyes were wet. She didn't want to cry but felt a deep sense of safety with Mark.Mark called his assistant. "Cancel the meeting.""But boss, I've confirmed it just now.""Do I need to teach you how to do it? I said cancel it!" Mark snapped, then turned back to Prisley with a gentle look."I'm so glad you came. What can I do for you?" he asked."I

"Mark, can I work at your company?" Prisley asked.“Of course you can!” Mark was overjoyed. He had dreamed of this day for a long time. The day when Prisley would work with him.There was always a saying in the industry that Heath Rynn had a very capable female assistant who handled everything for him.When they were in Tulsa, Mark had seen her competence firsthand. She managed to take down an entire corruption ring by herself and uncovered David's scheme against Heath.Mark hugged Prisley tightly like a treasure: ""I'm looking forward to working with you, but not now, Prisley. Can you rest a few more days? Let the doctor assess your condition first."Prisley nodded obediently.Mark gently stroked her long hair, "You've really blown me away. I never imagined I'd actually get you to come work at the company."Prisley hadn't felt this kind of peace for a long time. She nestled into Mark's embrace, greedily feeling his warmth and tenderness.She had also asked herself, should she just acc
