Anika Downs, a 25-year-old billionaire heiress, has faced betrayal from those she trusted most, making her wary of love. After discovering her boyfriend’s affair with her best friend and losing her father, she returns to take over her family’s business. As she navigates the challenges of a male-dominated industry, she must also deal with internal corruption, family issues, and the weight of her past. Then Kelvin Anderson, a 27-year-old with a link to Anika’s past, enters the picture. After accidentally wrecking her car, he walks into her office for a job interview, sparking immediate tension. Neither realizes that they share a deeper connection—Kelvin is the man from a one-night stand Anika had a year ago, who vanished without a word. Forced to work together to uncover corporate theft and betrayal, buried feelings between Anika and Kelvin begin to surface. Just as Anika starts to trust again, her ex-boyfriend, Richard, reappears with plans to take over her company, revealing shocking secrets about her father’s death and his own devious plans. Anika now faces a choice: can she let go of her past pain and trust Kelvin, or will betrayal take everything from her once more? CEO’s Second Chance is a billionaire romance full of enemies-to-lovers tension, corporate drama, and a journey of healing and forgiveness. Will Anika regain control of her heart and her company, or will betrayal be her downfall?

CHAPTER ONE
Anika’s P.O.V I was awakened by the jarring sound of my phone, which woke me up from my sleep. Groaning, I reached out to switch it off, but then realization hit me like a ton of bricks—it was my first day at my father’s company and I was already running late. Hastily, I got up, clutching the sheet to cover my naked body as I gathered my scattered clothes from the floor. The stranger lying in bed, whose name I still didn't know, stirred awake and sat upright, completely exposed, as I hurriedly dressed. "Hey," he muttered in his unappealing morning voice. It wasn't as alluring as I had initially thought. Ignoring him, I continued to dress but he was unfazed by my disinterest in conversation and kept talking. "Where are you going?" He asked. "I'm getting ready for work," I snapped. A chuckle broke the silence, causing me to turn around. He stood up and approached me then he wrapped his arms around my waist. "Come on, don't leave just yet. Let's stay here a while longer," he

CHAPTER TWO
Kelvin’s P.O.V I let out a groan as the blaring sound of my alarm pulled me out of my peaceful sleep. Rubbing my eyes, I fumbled to find my phone and stop the endless noise. But as soon as my eyes landed on the time, they widened with panic. Shit. I was running late for my interview. Adrenaline coursed through my veins as I sprung out of bed, racing to the bathroom. I quickly showered, dressed, and gathered all the necessary items in my office bag. With one last glance at the mirror to make sure my appearance was presentable I rushed out of my bedroom and into the living room. "What the fuck!" The exclamation burst from my lips as I clutched my chest in shock. Someone stood in my living room, catching me completely off guard. "Well, good morning to you too, son. You're finally awake," my mom greeted cheerfully, going about stocking up my fridge with fresh groceries while disposing of the old ones. "Mom, you scared the crap out of me. How did you get in here?" I asked once I

CHAPTER THREE
Kelvin's P.O.V. Exhausted from the events of the day, I slumped lazily onto my couch, carelessly tossing my bag onto the floor. Sleep was all I yearned for at that moment. Closing my eyes, my mind drifted back to the interview earlier. I had done my best to answer the questions professionally, but deep down, I knew I wouldn't get the job. The CEO had thrown non-related questions at me, seemingly trying to corner me and get back at me for what I had said to her. I blamed myself for babbling about someone I hadn't even seen to a stranger, not realizing they could be the one. Sighing, I stood up from the couch and headed towards my bedroom to change. On my way, I noticed a note on the kitchen island. It was from my mom, informing me that she had left some food for me in the freezer. A smile crept onto my face as I finished reading the letter. I loved my mom, especially her cooking. After showering and changing, I made myself comfortable in my room, taking out my laptop to browse

CHAPTER FOUR
Anika’s P.O.V “You’re home already?” my mom asked as I stepped into the house. “Yeah,” I replied and ran into her arms. I missed her so much. “How was your day at the office?” she asked. “Stressful,” I groaned, letting out a yawn. “I figured. Your father also always complained about work every single day but he never skipped a day from the office except when I forced him to take a break,” my mom said, her eyes twinkling at the mention of my dad. “I know right,” I said and we both chuckled. “I miss him so much,” I admitted. “Same here, I wish he was here with us right now,” my mom sighed. “Me too but I know he is looking after us,” I said to her and she nodded. A voice whispered in my head, 'He would still be alive if you hadn’t made that one decision, you killed him.' I muttered the words of my former therapist in my head and tried to calm myself down. 'I didn’t kill him, it was an accident. Accidents happen.' I didn't want Mom to see me in this state. Thankfully, my mom'

CHAPTER FIVE
Anika’s P.O.V Three months had passed since my introduction ceremony, and everything in my life had been going well except for my relationship with my sister. I reflected on the conversation we had on Saturday, the day after my congregation when we visited her at her boarding school. *** Andrea reluctantly entered the car and slammed the door. She plopped onto the backseat, her eyes glued to her phone. It was surprising she agreed to come with us in the first place, as she normally wouldn’t. I considered it an improvement and hoped it would last. I drove us to the best restaurant in the area, not far from her school. No one said a word during the drive, which made it awkward. It was strange to see how we were acting like strangers even though we were family, but there was nothing I could do about it. Once inside the restaurant, we were led to the table I had reserved earlier. We sat down, and almost immediately, a waiter came to take our order. I asked for a simple meal, and

CHAPTER SIX
Kelvin’s P.O.V I couldn't believe it when the CEO accused me of being a stalker simply because I accidentally entered her office. I had stayed overnight to finish my work and needed something to keep me awake. I mistakenly pressed the wrong button on the elevator while trying to get snacks from another floor, and didn't realize my mistake until I arrived. I should have trusted my instincts and stayed away from unfamiliar areas, but I foolishly did the opposite and it led me to be labeled as a creep. It was clear that I couldn't win her over; she disliked me and wouldn't believe anything I said. "I'm sorry," I reluctantly admitted. I probably should have stood up for myself, but I was exhausted at that point. Even if I decided to defend myself, it wouldn't change her opinion of me. I thought I had done a good job of avoiding her these past few months, but fate managed to bring us together and put me in a terrible situation whenever I was around her. “You’re sorry? Do you thin

CHAPTER SEVEN
Anika’s P.O.V "Are you certain this is accurate?" I questioned the head of finance, studying the company's account statement form. "Yes, ma'am. The company's funds are missing a total of five hundred million dollars, and we have yet to track it down but I assure you that we will do everything within our power to locate where it went to and bring the money back," the man replied. However, his statement failed to alleviate my concerns; instead, it stoked the flames of frustration within me which turned into anger. "You better find it. I expect results by tomorrow. If not, you and your team will be terminated. I can't believe hackers were able to breach our account. What's the point of having you oversee the company's finances if anyone can easily steal from me? I don't still understand how the fuck they were able to access the account easily without alerting our security measures," I demanded. "They were professionals, ma'am," he admitted. "And are you not a professional? I hired y

CHAPTER EIGHT
Anika’s P.O.V "The finance manager is innocent. He had nothing to do with the missing money; his only mistake was being careless with the company's account," I was informed. "Alright, tell them to release him. You can go," I dismissed them, releasing a sigh as I watched them leave. It had been three weeks, and there was still no progress on the fraud case. The theft had taken a toll on the company, and we were all working tirelessly to recover the stolen funds without raising any suspicions. But so far, our efforts have been in vain. I was doing my best, but it wasn't enough. We needed to brainstorm and find a way to recoup the money before the news got out to the public. That was why I was currently in a meeting with all the department managers, trying to come up with strategies to boost our company's sales and recover the missing funds as quickly as possible. "We could extend employees' working hours to catch up," one of the higher-ups suggested. "But that would mean overwork

CHAPTER NINE
Kelvin’s P.O.V As soon as I finished getting dressed following my shower, my landline phone rang. I answered it. “Hello?” I greeted the person on the other end of the line. "Hi, Mr. Anderson, this is Rebecca from the front desk. You have a guest named Anika Downs. She claims to be your boss and wants to see you. Should I allow her in?" the receptionist inquired. I was taken back by the unexpected visit. ‘What is she doing here?’ I pondered. It didn't make sense for the CEO of a highly esteemed company to show up at my apartment hours after publicly humiliating me. "Are you still there, Mr. Anderson?" I snapped out of my thoughts. "Yes, please let her in," I permitted. "Alright, I'll send her up," she confirmed. "Thank you, and have a good day," I hung up the phone. I rubbed my forehead and let out a sigh. That woman was perplexed. I wouldn't allow her actions or words to affect me. I intended to handle the situation perfectly and not tolerate any further insults from her.
