Looking at the photos scattered on the floor , I realized Ryan had misunderstood my relationship with Max . I met his angry gaze calmly . Saves me the introduction . Introduction ? His voice was tight with anger . I shrugged . Hes your new assistant . We signed the contract today . I pulled out the papers and spread them on the bed . His face darkened with each page he turned . Who gave you permission to end your contract ? How else do we get divorced ? I said coldly . That stopped him short . He stared at me . Divorce … Emma , youre serious ? I placed the signed divorce papers next to the assistant contract . Do I look like Im joking ? Ryan stood frozen , his voice unsteady . Emma , Ive told you a hundred times . Theres nothing between Olivia and me . That kiss at the gala was pure PR for the shows release . Were adults cant you stop obsessing over nothing ? I dont have energy for this . From where I stood , the bite mark on his collarbone was clear as day . I smiled faintly . High school sweethearts … honestly , Ryan , even Im starting to root for you . The front door opened . Olivia stumbled in , calling weakly , Ryan …. He rushed to catch her . She touched his face with trembling fingers , tears in her eyes . Ryan , I was so worried . 1 drove back all night . Ryan cupped her face , his voice soft with concern . Why would you do that ? What if something happened ? Look at your feet these heels have destroyed them . He turned to me , pleading . Emma , enough fighting , okay ? You can see shes hurt . We need to go . Be good and wait here . Well talk later . Chapter 5 I smiled , handing him his jacket . Cover up . Paparazzi are everywhere . He gave me a grateful look , already hurrying out . He was in such a rush he grabbed the wrong shoes . As they disappeared , I slammed the door . Then I called the housekeeper to pack all Ryans things and put them outside . For three days , their romance dominated social media . When Ryan called , I was just etting into bed . The doctor had warned me to take it easy with this being my first pregnancy . Emma , listen . These past days , I was at the hospital sorting things with Olivia . I wasnt avoiding you . All those rumors the couple bracelets , the ring , the pregnancy whispers theyre all lies . What are you talking about ? His voice fell . Emma … havent you seen whats trending ? I hadnt . Id deleted all social media apps . These three days , Id focused on early nights and healthy living . Applying my face mask , I said calmly , Ryan , when are you free to finalize the divorce ? Emma , I wont divorce you ! he snapped . Thirty minutes later , he was at the door , demanding to know why Id locked him out and thrown out his things . Max sent me messages : [ Emma , paparazzi caught Ryan outside a villa . ] [ Theyre threatening to leak for a million . What do we do ? ] Seeing Maxs panic , I replied calmly : [ This is part of the job . Ask the people involved . Im retired from crisis management . ] The Last Time || med Hus Chapter 5 [ Got it , Emma . ] I slept peacefully . By morning , my phone was flooded with calls and messages . I opened one Max : [ Emma , youre actually married to Ryan ? How did none of us know ? ] Not just Max , but reporters , directors , actors Id worked with all messaging about Ryan and me . Pinstinctively replied : [ Youve got it wrong , Max . Were not like that . ] [ Emma , stop lying ! Ryan just tweeted ! ] Shocked , I reinstalled Twitter and turned on entertainment news . There was Ryans tweet : HELP ! My wife @EmmaTheAssistant kicked me out . Taking suggestions . With two photos : Ryan standing pitifully by his packed bags , and our marriage certificate . The comments exploded : [ OMG Ryan this announcement is WILD ] [ Wait so the high school sweetheart story was fake ?? ] [ Who does Emma think she is ? Shes 30 ! ] [ Bet she seduced him when she was his assistant ] [ Yall see the date ?? FIVE YEARS AGO when he was a nobody ! ] [ So shes been there from rock bottom to stardom ?? ] [ Not for fame , didnt leave in hard times . Thats real love . ] [ If Emmas the wife whats Olivia ?
