.htaccess Don't redirect with keeping path just for one domain

Question

I have a WordPress website:

My main domain is exampleMain.com
and my second domain is exampleSecond.com

Everything is about HTTPS redirect (second domain is parked and should not be redirected to first domain, I know it is a drawback regarding SEO issues but I need that for some reasons)

First domain works really fine:

http://exampleMain.com will be redirected to https://exampleMain.com

also http://exampleMain.com/contactus will be redirected to https://exampleMain.com/contactus

But for second domain: http://exampleSecond.com will be redirected to https://exampleSecond.com
but
http://exampleSecond.com/contactus will not redirect to https and will keep loading http://exampleSecond.com/contactus

But I expect to redirect to https://exampleSecond.com/contactus

UPDATE:

If we call http://exampleSecond.com/ (without any path after the domain name) it will be redirected to https://exampleSecond.com/

you have rules for it, on the main domain. but not on the subdomain? — Stender, Jan 23 '18 at 10:26
`RewriteRule ^ http://www.exampleMain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]` - `RewriteRule ^ https://www.exampleMain.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]` — Stender, Jan 23 '18 at 10:26
The issue is not regarding to subdomains or ... it is only the matter of main domain and the seconds domain. while being redirected, maindomain will redirects keep the paths after the maindomain but the seconds domain will not redirect at all. But if you call the secondsdomain without any path, and only calling seconddomain Name, it will redirect to https — user33398, Jan 23 '18 at 11:18
UPDATE: If we call http://exampleSecond.com/ (without any path after the domain name) it will be redirected to https://exampleSecond.com/ — user33398, Jan 23 '18 at 11:21
Dear stender, please notice that i can't define general rules for all http requests. I should define rules per domain. AS THE website is being loaded using two different domains and i don't want them to be changed on redirect. So for sure i should have rewrite conditions based on the domain name — user33398, Jan 23 '18 at 11:22

.htaccess Don't redirect with keeping path just for one domain

First domain works really fine:
