Camille’s POV

I woke up the next morning with a knot in my stomach.

The first thought that hit me was the kitchen.

How was I supposed to face everyone after what happened yesterday?

The memory of the breakfast disaster and the chairman’s furious outburst kept replaying in my mind. I had embarrassed the entire kitchen staff… and worst of all, I had cost them their salaries.

I rubbed my temples and sat up slowly.

Avoiding work wasn’t an option. Running away would only make things worse.

  • Reckless Nights With My Husband's Boss    Chapter 62: A House Divided

    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

  • Reckless Nights With My Husband's Boss    Chapter 61: Zoe's lie

    I tried calling Zoe again.But she didn't answer.My jaw tightened as irritation flared.This stubborn woman…The nurse at the reception had barely looked away when I slipped past her and hurried down the hallway. My pulse pounded in my ears as I started opening doors—one after the other.“Oh—sorry,” I muttered quickly each time, barely pausing before moving on to the next door.By the time I reached the last door, my patience had worn thin. I pushed it open without thinking and froze.It was Dr. Martin Alphaeus’s office.He looked up immediately, his sharp eyes locking onto mine.“Sorry, sir… wrong room,” I said quickly, already stepping back.“Wait.”That single word stopped me mid-step and I turned reluctantly.He was studying me now—closely. Too closely.“You look familiar,” he said slowly.A flicker of unease passed through me.“No, I don’t think so,” I replied with a quick shake of my head. “I’m in a bit of a hurry.”He didn’t look convinced.“Smitheen Holdings…?” he added, narr

  • Reckless Nights With My Husband's Boss    Reckless 60: The hospital encounter.

    Duke’s POVLeonard slowly released Zoe’s hand, “Good morning, boss,” he said smoothly.Then his gaze shifted to Camille.A smirk curled onto his lips.“Hello, wifey.”He even had the audacity to wave.Camille didn’t respond. Not a word. Not even a glance.Something dark flickered in Leonard’s eyes.“What’s wrong with you?” he continued, his voice lowering. “You look… bloated.”He leaned in slightly, his tone turning cruel.“I’d say pregnant, but we both know that’s impossible…” he whispered. “You’re barren.”Then he chuckled.My hands curled into fists instantly.It took everything in me not to break his face right there.Before I could react, another voice cut in.“Derrick, Venique, go wait for me over there.”Venessa.She didn’t even look at me.Neither did the children.They walked off like I didn’t exist.“Ven! Derrick” I called after them. But they didn't respond nor turn.Venessa stopped, a tight, bitter smile touched her lips as she finally turned toward me.“Duke, stop,” she

    Duke’s POVI didn’t understand it.The anger, I mean.It came fast, curling low in my chest the moment the doctor confirmed Camille was pregnant. And now, knowing it wasn’t just one child but two… it only made it worse.Twins.The word sat heavily in my mind, stirring something I didn’t want to name.Because beneath it all was a truth I couldn’t shake.Those children were most likely Leonard’s.And for a fleeting, shameful second, a thought crossed my mind—dark and uninvited.It would have been easier if she’d lost them.I clenched my jaw immediately, pushing the thought down.I had no right to think that. No right to wish harm on anything she loved.Still… it lingered.“Mr. Duke,” Doctor Alphaeus said, pulling me back. “Can you come to my office for a moment?”I glanced at Camille instinctively.Her eyes were already on me—searching, uncertain, like she was trying to read something in my face.“Is everything alright?” I asked.“Yes,” he replied smoothly. “Just need to go over the bil

    I jerked up with a scream, my body reacting before my mind could catch up.“Help! Somebody help me!”I scrambled backward on the bed, panic surging through me as I clutched my stomach, a sharp pain shooting through my abdomen from the sudden movement.“Stay away from me!” I cried, my voice breaking.“Ma’am… ma’am… Sister Camille, please—calm down. I’m not here to hurt you.” Olivia Tears blurring my eyes but I could still see Olivia standing a few steps away from me.My breathing was uneven, and my heart was hammering wildly against my chest as I jumped down the bed from the other side.“What are you doing in my room with—” My eyes dropped to the knife in her hand again.She noticed where I was looking and immediately stepped back.“You didn’t come out all day,” she said quietly, her tone careful, almost gentle. “So I brought something for you to eat.”She gestured toward the small table beside the bed.I turned my head slowly.There, neatly arranged, was a tray—fresh fruits, washed

    I slowly lowered the phone, my fingers tightening around it as my mind struggled to catch up with what I had just heard.“Hello? Camille… are you there?” Naomi’s voice came again, slightly panicked this time.Then—“Shit, Camille… Camille!”I didn’t respond.Before she could say anything else, I ended the call.Almost immediately, the phone started ringing again.Again and again.I stared at it for a moment, my chest tight, my thoughts racing—but I didn’t pick up.Instead, I turned away, walked straight into the bathroom, and let the shower run longer than necessary, as if the water could somehow wash away the confusion clinging to me.By the time I came out, I felt physically lighter… but nothing had changed inside. I was still troubled and confused.I climbed into bed, pulling the covers around me, trying to force my mind to quiet down.That was when my phone buzzed again.This time, it wasn’t a call.A message from Naomi.Sorry, Camille. It’s not what you think. Can I see you so I

    Inside my room, I tried to eat.But the smell of the biscuits turned my stomach. Strangely, I craved something sour or tangy. I settled for a few bites anyway, forcing them down until the nausea eased.A knock sounded at my door.I opened it to find a chubby lady staring at me.Her eyes moved slowl
