I decided to search for the test result before leaving the garden.

Maybe it had fallen somewhere in the grass.

Maybe the wind had blown it under a flower pot.

Maybe… just maybe… I could still find it.

I switched on the small light on my phone and started searching carefully.

From one corner of the garden to the other.

The place was quiet.

The soft rustling of the trees and the distant sound of crickets filled the night.

I searched near the stone benches.

Behind the flower vases.

Even along the

  • Reckless Nights With My Husband's Boss    Chapter 67: An apology meal

    “It's an apology meal.” he replied I looked at him. “For what?”“For the things I said yesterday…” he paused… “about the father..” he swallowed hard… “of your kids, it was totally wrong of me to call him names…I shouldn't have let my temper get the better of me.”My expression softened.“Oh that!... you're forgiven.”“Just like that?”I nodded.“Just like that… because this meal has made me forget everything that happened yesterday.” I joked.He laughed and leaned forward and kissed my forehead.“Thank you, my angel.”I sat up comfortably and began eating. The food was so delicious that I barely spoke between mouthfuls.By the time I finished, there was hardly anything left on the plate.Duke watched me with an amused smile.“Someone was obviously hungry.”I wiped my mouth and grinned.“What can I say? Your breakfast was too good to resist.”“I'm glad you enjoyed it.”He helped me settle back against the pillows before getting dressed for work.When he was ready to leave, I reached f

    Camille's POV“Wait… Daddy!”I called out sharply, pretending to be in pain.Duke immediately stopped in his tracks and turned around. The moment he saw me, he hurried back, his face filled with concern.“Camille, what's wrong? Are you hurting? Is it your stomach? Should I call the doctor?”He gently held my shoulders, searching my face as though he expected me to collapse at any moment.I felt a little guilty for frightening him, but I needed him to stop long enough for me to explain.“No, Daddy. I'm fine. I just wanted to talk to you.”He released a breath of relief.“Are you sure? Because you nearly gave me a heart attack just now.”I smiled apologetically.“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.”“Then don't do that again, sweetheart. You know I can't stand the thought of anything happening to you or the babies.”My heart melted at the concern in his voice and I reached for his hand.“Actually, I wanted to talk about something else.”His expression immediately became serious.“But

    “And I appreciate that, but I've known Naomi for years. I knew her long before I met you and the rest of your family. We've been through too much together for me to abandon her without giving her a chance.”I gently pulled my hand free and hurried after Naomi.By the time I reached the entrance, she was already outside the gate, walking away with her head bowed.“Naomi!”She stopped but didn't turn around.I rushed toward her and caught both her hands.“Look at me.”Slowly, she lifted her tear-stained face.“I can't let you leave like this,” I told her firmly. “I choose to trust you, Naomi. I don't know everything that's going on, and I won't pretend I have no doubts, but I'm not going to abandon you when you need help.”Her lips trembled.“But what about Duke?”“Leave him to me. I'll handle him.”“Cammy, you don't understand how much trouble this could cause you.”“Then let me worry about that.”I gave her hand a reassuring squeeze before turning her around and leading her back into

    Camille's POV I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my head at Naomi's audacity. “No, darling friend. You're the one making a mockery of our long-standing friendship, not me.” She stared at me, her eyebrows drawing together as she struggled to understand what I meant. “What are you talking about, Camille?” she asked, looking genuinely confused. I folded my arms across my chest, trying to keep my emotions under control. “First, you told me that calling me Leonard was a slip of the tongue. Now, you're telling me that Leonard has been calling you and threatening you. So, tell me, Naomi, how exactly am I supposed to make sense of all this?” “Oh, that…” she muttered casually, waving her hand as though it were something insignificant. I couldn't believe her response. “Is that all you have to say?” I demanded. “After everything you've told me, that's your explanation?” Naomi's expression changed instantly. The casual look disappeared from her face, replaced by a mixture of anger and hu

    Camille’s POV“Olivia, I didn’t leave because of you or your parents.”She stared at me, completely confused.“I left because my life was in danger,” I continued quietly. “And it wasn’t just me. You and your parents were in danger too.”The handbag slipped from Olivia’s hand and landed on the floor.“What?”Her voice trembled.“Are you being serious right now?”I nodded.“Oh my God…”She slowly bent down and picked up her bag, but her hands were shaking so badly that she nearly dropped it again.“I have always thought you hated me,” she admitted. “I mean, You left without a word, you refused to pick our calls… And when you finally picked, you warned me never to call you again, you avoided everyone. I thought you were angry with me and my family.”She swallowed hard.“Even though Dad kept telling me I was wrong.”My eyes widened.“Your dad doesn’t hate me?”Olivia looked at me as though the question surprised her.“Hate you? Camille, Dad could never hate you.”Something inside my chest

    Leonard’s POVI started the engine and pulled out my phone, dialing Zoe’s number over and over again. Each call rang endlessly before dropping into silence.No answer.I clenched my jaw, gripping the steering wheel tighter.Stubborn woman.I tried again. But her phone was now switched off.Frustrated, I scrolled through my contacts and began calling her friends—colleagues, acquaintances, anyone who might know where she was.Nothing.No one had seen her.A cold unease settled in my chest.With nowhere else to go, I turned the car around and drove straight to my mother’s house.The moment I stepped inside, I saw Harold lounging in the sitting room like he owned the place.“Good morning, sir,” I muttered, barely sparing him a glance.“Good morning, son—how—”I didn’t wait for him to finish.“Mum! Mum!” I called out, already walking past him.She met me halfway between the dining area and the living room, concern written all over her face..“Good afternoon, Mum.”“What is it, son? Come, le
