Chapter 4 Early the next morning , Ryker's phone rang . Brianna's name flashed across the screen . He hesitated for a moment before answering . Her sobbing voice poured through the speaker , barely coherent between gasps . ' Mr. Hampton , I - I don't know what to do anymore … " ' Stop crying and take a breath . Tell me what happened , " Ryker frowned , his voice gentle . ' I'm being cyberbullied ! My photos are everywhere online ! People are calling me a homewrecker , saying I seduced a married man … " ' I'm terrified ! I can't even leave my apartment … oh God … " Brianna's voice trembled with panic and helplessness , her sobs growing louder . Ryker's expression darkened as he shot me a fiery glare . ' Stay put and don't go anywhere . I'll handle this immediately . " News of Brianna crossing me had already spread throughout our business circles . Even without my direct orders , our business partners would do things like this to curry favor with me . I'd checked the online situation this morning - it wasn't nearly as bad as she was making it sound . But I had to hand it to her - she was masterfully playing the damsel in distress card , successfully triggering Ryker's protective instincts . The moment he hung up , Ryker's rage exploded . He slammed his phone onto the table and turned to me , eyes blazing . " What the fuck are you trying to accomplish here , Mila ? " 15:10 My CEO Husband Gave My Office to His Intern ?

Throwing around your CEO's wife title like it gives you the right to destroy people's lives ! " I slammed my bowl down on the table , refusing to back down an inch . " For the last goddamn time , Ryker , I didn't do shit . " " Everyone in the company knows she pissed you off ! Who else would do this except you ? " he shot back . " Are you fucking kidding me ? In all these years , when have I ever denied something I actually did ? You're repeatedly questioning me - your wife - over some random intern . She's got you completely dick - whipped ! " Ryker's face turned stone - cold as he stormed out , slamming the door hard enough to rattle the walls . I calmly wiped the corner of my mouth , watching his retreating figure with undisguised disappointment . That afternoon , while scrolling through social media , I noticed something strange . The flood of negative posts about Brianna had completely vanished , replaced by an official statement from Hampton Industries . The statement praised Brianna's exceptional abilities , emphasizing she had earned her position through merit alone . It declared that Hampton Industries would not tolerate malicious rumors against its employees and would pursue legal action against false online allegations . My phone lit up with a new message from Josh : " Ms. Sullivan , Mr. Hampton not only had Legal issue that statement , but he also publicly announced that Brianna will return to the company effective immediately as his Chief Executive Assistant . He warned that anyone spreading rumors or gossip would be fired on the spot ! " " The whole company is buzzing that there's something special between Mr. Hampton and Brianna .

Grateful for Mr. Hampton's recognition of my abilities ! " " I'll do my best to support Mr. Hampton going forward and won't disappoint this trust ! " The attached image showed her new appointment letter - reinstated as Chief Executive Assistant to the CEO of Hampton Industries , with a salary matching a Vice President's . I stared at her nauseating post , gripping my phone so tightly my knuckles turned white . Not long after , Ryker came home to retrieve some documents , not even sparing me a glance . He headed straight upstairs to his study , grabbed what he needed , and turned to leave . I tapped my fingers against the coffee table and spoke up . " What exactly do you think you're doing , Ryker ? " He stopped , turning to me with cold eyes . " Brianna is nothing but a hardworking employee who was targeted for no reason , driven from the company , and subjected to cyberbullying - all because of you . " " I'm simply rectifying your mistake . This is what Brianna deserves . " " And if I insist you fire her ? " I challenged . " Then fucking try me ! All this time I've been accommodating you out of respect for my wife , letting you abuse your power to hurt others . " " I'm done with your bullshit . I won't sacrifice Brianna , and I won't let you run wild anymore ! " Ryker spun around and left , the sound of the door slamming echoing throughout our mansion . In that moment , my last shred of faith in him died . Our five - year marriage - built on mutual respect and understanding - was fracturing because of a woman who'd been in our lives for barely two weeks . 15:10 My CEO Husband Gave My Office to His Intern ?
