All Chapters of Reckless Nights With My Husband's Boss : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Duke’s fist collided again and again with Leonard’s face, Each punch harder than the last.The sound echoed against the tiled kitchen walls, sharp and unforgiving.“How dare you, Leonard how dare you” Duke growled, his voice low but deadly, “touch one of my staff in my own house?”His eyes burned with a fury I had never seen before. His eyes were red like raw, hot burning coal. I had never seen him like this before.It was terrifying.Before Leonard could steady himself, Duke grabbed him by the collar and slammed him against the wall.“Did’nt I warn you,” he continued, each word measured but heavy with anger, “to stay focused. To focus on your wife.”He leaned closer, his grip tightening.“And yet here you are… sneaking around and flirting with a staff member while your wife is sitting patiently in my hall, waiting for you or probably searching for you.”Leonard winced, a broken sound escaping his lips. His face was already swelling, blood dripped from his lips staining the front of

I stared at Camille longer than I should have.Every instinct in me screamed to pull her into my arms. To hold her tight. To tell her she was safe now.But I didn’t.I just turned and walked away.The moment I stepped into my room, something inside me snapped.It wasn’t anger this time but heavy guilt.I ran a hand through my hair, pacing my room like a man being hunted by his own thoughts.CamilleChristopher’s daughter.My chest tightened.How the hell did I not see it?All these years, I couldn’t protect my late best staff's only child. I wasn't even there when she lost her father. Or when she got married. Maybe that's why I'm being punished. Maybe that's why I lost my entire family.My jaw clenched.“What did that bastard put her through?” I muttered under my breath.Because no woman chooses this kind of life unless she’s running from something worse.Then the thought hit me hard.I froze mid-step.“…And I’ve been sleeping with her for the past two months. She has been working h

“It’s not yours, sir.”The words left my mouth quietly, but they carried more weight than I expected.I braced myself for Duke's anger, accusations or disappointment.But none of that came.Instead, Duke froze.For a moment, he just stared at me, as if trying to process what I had said. Then, slowly… something shifted.He exhaled and to my greatest shock—He smiled.A faint, almost relieved smile.My brows furrowed.Is he really relieved that the child wasn’t his?After everything… After all those nights he had fucked me without protection?A sharp ache settled in my chest.I was disappointed and angry for thinking that maybe I meant anything to him.How foolish of me.“Is it Leonard’s?” he asked suddenly, pulling me out of my thoughts.My lips parted, ready to answer, but I stopped.Voices drifted in from outside the ward.Muffled at first, then a bit clearer.“Why are you standing here Eve?” Doctor Alphaeus’ voice cut through.A pause.“Oh. Doctor Alphaeus, I—I just arrived.” I quic

My phone started ringing almost immediately.My heart jumped.For a split second, I thought it was Venessa.But when I looked at the screen, I exhaled in relief.Dylan.I picked up quickly.“Good evening, chef Dylan.”“Good evening, ma—”I blinked.I blinked.Ma?The word landed awkwardly, like something borrowed that didn’t quite belong to me.“I called to inform you that dinner will be served in five minutes,” he continued, his tone polite and professional.“Oh… alright. Thank you, sir, but…” I hesitated, unsure how to phrase it without sounding rude.He paused, waiting.“Can you please not call me ‘ma’? It’s uncomfortable,” I said finally.There was a brief silence.“Sorry, ma, but we are just obeying orders,” he replied.I sighed quietly, knowing there was no point pushing further.“Okay… um, one more thing. Can you bring my food to my room?”Another pause. Slightly longer this time.Then—“Sorry, ma, but I’ll need the chairman’s approval for that,” he said. “If there’s nothing els

Duke’s POVI have been avoiding Miss Carter ever since that night.The memory alone made my jaw tighten.I still couldn’t believe how badly I’d misread the situation. How I’d mistaken her for Camille in the dark. And her hands on my cock and almost sucking my…I exhaled sharply, dragging a hand over my face.It was a mess.Since then, being around her had felt tense. Like we were both pretending something hadn’t happened when it clearly had. If I was uncomfortable, she wasn’t exactly hiding her irritation either.But I couldn’t keep dodging her forever.First, I needed to apologise. Clear the air.And then there was the issue of the kitchen staff—Dylan had been complaining nonstop about the shortage of staff. That needed fixing too.I picked up my phone and dialed her number.“Hello, boss,” her voice came through, smooth as ever. “How was your night?”“Evelyn, come to my study. Now.”I didn’t wait for a response. I ended the call immediately.After a quick shower, I got dressed and he
