Chapter 5 When Ronan saw me , he immediately pushed Lana away , panic flashing in his eyes as he croaked out : [ ] " Amelia , what ... what are you doing here ? " ] I didn't answer . The livestream was absolutely blowing up : [ ] [ HUSBAND ?! Wait is Lana hooking up with a married dude ?? ] ] [ Holy shit she's been posting about her mystery CEO boyfriend for months ... homewrecker vibes for real ] ] ] [ Y'all chill ! Lana and boss man have been together forever , I've seen their whole story ! This has to be fake drama ! ] ] [ Right ! Team Lana ! Who is this crazy bitch anyway ? ! ] | [ ] Lana was frantically trying to end the stream but my aunt grabbed her phone and aimed it straight at them . ] " Nah sweetie , keep it rolling . No misunderstandings here , right ? Let's get everything out in the open . " [] Lana went pale as a ghost . Ronan snapped back to reality and strode over to me , his voice dropping to a whisper : [] " Babe , this isn't what you think . I can explain everything . Just ... not here , okay ? Kill the stream and let's talk privately . " [ ] " She's just a kid , Amelia . This could destroy her whole career . Think about what this does to our company . You really want to burn down everything we built ? " ]] I looked up at Ronan . The panic in his eyes lasted maybe a second before turning cold and calculating . Of course . He was always so good at damage control . Even caught red - handed , he could stay cool and find the solution that worked best for him . ] In just a few sentences , he'd painted me as some unreasonable drama queen . ] And his first worry ? Her reputation . Her future . [ ] He'd forgotten I used to be young too . That I had a future worth protecting before I threw it all away for him . ] Even though I'd prepared for this moment , my eyes started burning with tears . [ ] Finally , I took a deep breath and ripped off the bandaid : [ ] " Oh , so she can broadcast her affair with my husband but now we're worried about embarrassing her ? " [] Before I could finish , Ronan's voice exploded like a thunderclap : [ ] " ENOUGH ! " " There's nothing going on ! She's getting bullied at work and I'm helping her out like any decent boss would ! [ ] Prove Chapter 5 You've been playing rich housewife so long you forgot what real struggle looks like ! " ] ] His words hit me like a physical blow . ] I just stood there , mouth open , completely stunned . ] My aunt's face went nuclear . [ ] She marched right up to him , jabbing her finger inches from his nose : " Are you out of your goddamn mind ? She walked away from millions for your sorry ass ! Seven years of ramen noodles and studio apartments while you built your little empire ! " ] " Drake Industries wouldn't exist without her , you ungrateful piece of shit ! " [ ]
