A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 2

After Bernard left, his personal assistant Aidyn Reyes walked in with some pills.

He handed them to Eleanor and said respectfully, “Ms. Shultz, sorry for the trouble.”

These were birth control pills. Bernard didn’t love her, so naturally he would not allow her to get pregnant.

Whether it was her heart failing or being hurt by Bernard, she found it hard to breathe.

“Ms. Shultz…”

Seeing her unresponsive, Aidyn immediately reminded her, fearing she might refuse to take it.
