All Chapters of In Bed With Her Shithead Boss: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

The restaurant Luca chose wasn’t dramatic or flashy. It wasn’t the tower-high, jacket-required kind of place that would attract the media outside laying in wait to snap photos of the rich and famous. Instead, it was tucked behind a narrow street off the main drag. The tables were decorated with candles in mason jars, rough wooden booths, and soft Italian music that played gently in the background. Sutton appreciated it.She appreciated even more that Luca didn’t try to play the part of the seducer. He didn’t touch her hand across the table, didn’t lean in too close. He just sat across from her, one hand resting beside his wineglass and the other occasionally touching his lip as he watched her.She pushed spaghetti around her plate, not sure why she couldn’t make herself eat more. She wasn’t nauseous. She was just... anxious.“Do you not like it?” Luca asked gently.She looked up. “No—I mean, it’s good. I think I’m just... my mind. Call it pregnancy brain.”He nodded but didn’t press.

It was almost six when Sutton walked out of Cyber10 that afternoon. She’d stayed later than she meant to, tinkering with firewall patches before locking her machine. Her body was already objecting to the long day in her chair; her lower back was aching. Her breasts made a silent bid for escape. It had been a good day. HR had sent an email around to all staff letting them know Sutton had taken the role.She felt one part pride, two parts absolute terror.The air outside was a little chilly as she made her way over to David. He was in his usual spot across the street, leaning against the gleaming black car. He waved to her in welcome.“Long day?” he asked as she approached.“Long week,” she said, adjusting the bag strap that was cutting into her shoulder. “But it’s finally done. I just accepted a new role at work. So it should be interesting over the next few weeks. But I have to say after this week, I’m glad it’s Friday and the only thing I have to worry about this weekend is getting ou

The surgical waiting room was quiet again now, save for the occasional shuffle of a nurse’s sneakers passing by the open door. Keira was curled in a chair, cradling a cup of coffee. Luca figured it would be stone cold by now. Blair sat cross-legged by the window, thumbing through a magazine on her lap, but the way she wasn’t spending any time on each page, he doubted she was even reading it.Roman sat beside her, his hand rubbing up and down her back as he checked his watch again.Luca’s phone buzzed in his lap.Nick De Santis’s name showed on the screen. Luca stared at it for a beat, thumb hesitating above the screen.Of all the moments for his father to call!For one brief second, he thought about letting it ring out, telling himself he would call back later. After Sutton woke up. After he saw the baby. After he knew they would both be okay.But it wasn’t just Sutton lying unconscious in recovery. He still hadn’t been allowed to see her.It was also Nick’s grandson in that NICU.And

He sat in a hard plastic chair beside her bed, elbow resting on the edge of the mattress, his fingers wrapped around her wrist as if it were made of delicate glass. It was morning, and he hadn’t slept at all. Roman had dropped clothes off, and the nurses had let him use the shower in Sutton’s private room they had moved her to around eleven last night.Luca hadn’t left her for more than a few minutes; he couldn’t. He was so worried that if he turned his back on her for even one second, she might disappear. He could not lose her again. Even though he hadn’t realized he was in love with her the first time, he had still felt the loss of her when she had left. It was only then that he started to understand what she had truly meant to him. It hadn’t been a lightbulb moment at first; he had told himself it was the baby. But he had only been fooling himself.Sutton stirred; at first, it was just a twitch of her fingers. Then, there was a deep indrawn breath.Luca leaned closer. He watched as

It was barely 7 a.m. when Sutton’s phone buzzed on the tray beside her hospital bed.She hadn’t slept the whole night. Even though she was on pain meds, every time she shifted in her sleep, the pain woke her.Luca was asleep in the chair beside her, long legs stretched out, head tilted toward her but not quite resting. He’d refused to leave, and sometime after midnight, one of the overnight nurses had pulled in a cot, only for him to ignore it in favor of staying closer.The phone buzzed again. Then again. Wishing now they hadn’t charged it last night, but it could be one of her sisters. Though she didn’t think they would call at this time in the morning.Sutton rubbed her face with one hand and grabbed it with the other, careful not to wake him. Her fingers were stiff, but she managed to swipe the screen open.UNKNOWN CALLERShe hesitated for a moment but answered.“Hello?”There was a pause. Then a voice, ever so eager.“Sutton Warner, or should I say Audrey? This is Lilly Day from
