The First Night With the Duke — Chapter 22

Whew, grab your popcorn and a stress ball, because The First Night With the Duke: Chapter 22 has left readers in an absolute frenzy of feelings! 😬 It seems this chapter is a masterclass in second-hand embarrassment and angst, with many veteran readers admitting they're still cringing on their third reread!

The main drama? Everyone’s duking it out (pun intended!) over who's really at fault. Our protagonist, Ripley, is definitely catching heat. While some applaud her for finally "coming clean," others are *furious* at her immaturity, deceit, and calling the Duke a "coward" after her past shenanigans. 🗣️ "She’s the one who has acted cowardly for the past 22 chapters!" one reader declared.

But don't think the Duke is off the hook! Many are "pissed off" at him for seemingly going to dinner with another girl right after a quarrel, calling it "scummy asf." However, the Duke has his staunch defenders too, arguing he was "clearly deceived" by Ripley's initial fake accident and his ego was "trampled." 👀 The burning question remains: is this a calculated trick from the Duke, or just more chaotic drama?

One thing's for sure: whether you're Team Duke or Team Ripley, everyone agrees this chapter is a rollercoaster of emotions. Get ready for more angst, because this "tragic love" story is far from sorted!
