Chapter 1 My VP office had suddenly been handed over to the new female intern by my husband Ryker Hampton . Later , she even posted photos of the office on Ins with the caption : [ Grateful for my dear CEO Mr. Hampton's reward ! ] In the attached photos , the entire office layout carefully designed by me had been changed , and even more all my award plaques had mysteriously vanished . I forwarded it directly to Ryker : [ What exactly are you playing at ? Why is an intern occupying MY personal office ? ] He sent back a voice message , with a drunken tone : " Babe , it's just an office . You're not using it anyway . " [ You have ten minutes to restore my office to its original condition . ] On the other end , Ryker didn't respond . Two minutes later , Hampton Industries ' most critical contract was forcibly terminated . Since someone wanted to challenge my authority , I didn't mind letting Hampton Industries go BANKRUPT directly . The calls from Ryker kept pouring in , one after another . I didn't answer until the fifth one . His furious voice erupted through the speaker . " Mila ! Have you lost your damn mind ? That was a two hundred million dollar project ! " " You know perfectly well the product launch is next week . Pulling the plug now is practically corporate suicide ! " " All this over only an office ? Are you serious ? " 15:06 My CEO Husband Gave My Office to His Intern ? Divorce II 1st Chapter 1 Five years of marriage , and this was the first time he'd ever raised his voice at me over another woman . I took a small sip of my warm coffee , feeling the heat slide down my throat while my heart turned to ice . ' Dead serious , " I replied coolly . ' Ryker , restore my office to exactly how it was before . Every single award , every item in its precise ocation . Otherwise , your company will suffer far greater losses . " On the other end , Ryker fell silent for several seconds . " You have five minutes . Starting now . " I delivered these words with cold precision before directly hanging up . Two minutes later , he sent photos of my restored office . Everything had been returned to its original place . Upon receiving the pictures , I immediately contacted the project manager and rescinded the termination order . But I sent Ryker a photo in return . In the image , his study had been completely emptied . Including his most prized possession - an expensive antique he'd just acquired at auction . I attached a second photo : the antique shattered into pieces across the floor . " Ryker , this is your punishment . You know my temperament . Don't let this happen again . " There was no response from his end . I knew he was furious . But I was even more so . Our marriage began as a strategic alliance between two corporations . Five years ago , he needed Sullivan Enterprises ' overseas distribution channels , and I needed Hampton Industries ' domestic manufacturing facilities . A business marriage was the logical conclusion . 15:00 Chapter 1 No passionate love story - just a rational choice for mutual benefit . " Mila , we'll not only support each other in business , but after marriage , I promise to trust and respect you , " Ryker had said , holding my hands , his gaze steady and sincere before our wedding . " I appreciate your honesty , Mr. Hampton . I hope our partnership proves fruitful , " I'd responded with a measured smile . Over five years , we evolved from strangers to confidants , from respect to dependence , then to genuine warmth and affection . We'd shared countless nights huddled together after exhausting business functions . This year , we finally welcomed our baby . It was the perfect testament to our love , making me believe our love bond was unbreakable . But now , Brianna's appearance had shattered all the trust and understanding we'd built . 15:07
