Hired Fiance Chapter 22
Emma's POV I felt a mix of anger and anxiety as George left. I was alone with Ryan, the most irritating person I had ever met. I didn't want to be alone at home after his weird suggestions and flirty comments. There was no doubt that I was safe with him, but I felt uncomfortable around him as he was interested in kissing, cuddling, etc. "We should go and meet them. I want them to be rest assured that there is someone in my life, let's go and get it over with." I suggested."Wait! We can't be there like this. There is so much to do. Let's plan out everything. We have to go and meet them but before that, we have to tell them how and when we met and how we. fell in love with each other," Ryan insisted."Yes, we need to talk and plan everything. We need to plan carefully to make it work," I agreed getting tensed as it was very difficult for me to pretend to be in love. " Yes! But don't worry, everything will go smoothly. I am a good actor, trust me, they would be happy and have medic

Emma's POV "Now, let's talk about your family. What should I know about them?" Ryan asked.I sighed. "My family is very traditional. My mom, Margaret, and my grandmother, Helen. They’re the ones pushing me to settle down. Dad is very strict and a typical man who thinks women are good for nothing but keeping home, raising children, being a trophy wife... " I stopped myself from saying more. "And what about your sister, Eva?" Ryan inquired."Eva’s more understanding but still worried about our mom and grandma. She’s getting engaged to Daniel next week. The engagement party and the wedding are going to be big events," I explained."Got it. So, I need to impress your Dad, mom, and grandma and be supportive at the engagement party and wedding," Ryan summarized."Exactly. They need to believe we’re in a serious relationship," I affirmed.Ryan grinned. "No problem. I can be very convincing."Emma looked at him doubtfully. "We’ll see about that. What about your family?" I asked."Tell them

Emma's POVI looked at his clothes though they were fashionable enough for an aspiring actor or model to wear for a casual meeting, my family would not approve of him or even take him seriously. They might think that I randomly asked one of the guys who models my clothes to come and pretend as my boyfriend in front of my family. No!! I can't afford that. " George, ask Lily to get some decent semi-formal clothes in Ryan's size and come here. " " But what is wrong with my clothes? They are good, it is the latest fashion... Well, at least you should know that. " Ryan got a bit offended. " I know all that, but you don't know my parents they are very conservative. So don't argue just tell him the size of your clothes and shoes. He will send some options for you. You can choose out of them. " I said. After about half an hour, Lily came carrying four or five bags. We selected his outfit for the day and he got ready in no time. I wore a big diamond ring that I had bought for myself. **

Emma's POV Ryan's hands traveled confidently along my back, creating the illusion of an intimate connection. My family watched, their worry lines softening as they saw us locked in what appeared to be a loving hug.Breaking away, he planted a lingering kiss on my forehead, his lips brushing against my skin with a calculated tenderness. I blushed, playing my part, as he leaned in and planted a tender kiss on my cheek. My family's eyes widened, and my grandmother managed a broad smile as if she had already approved of our love story, her eyes sparkled with joy, convinced that she was witnessing the blossoming of a genuine romance.Ryan's touch was light, but the gestures were deliberate—reassuring touches, lingering hugs, and stolen glances that painted a picture of affection."Oh, how sweet of you, Ryan," my mom chimed in, genuinely pleased. "Emma, you never told us how lucky you are to have such a handsome and wonderful man. Hey, you already have a ring on your ring finger... You go

Emma's POV I couldn't help but admire Ryan's ability to play the part flawlessly. Despite my initial discomfort, there was an undeniable chemistry in our staged encounters. ********"We went back to my office, George was shooting for a portfolio but as soon as George saw us, he took a break and came to us." Hey, did you go to meet them? " He asked us. " Yes, we did. " I said." And?? " " It was good, they were convinced that I have someone in my life now. " I said. " So everything is sorted now, they started taking the medicines?? " George asked. " Yes!! Thankfully! " " Great! So, mission accomplished!! " He grinned. " It is just the beginning, these three were easy to handle. I will have to go for Eva's engagement and wedding. Daniel and Dad would not be so easy to convince. As it is Daniel is waiting for a chance to get even with me."" I am sorry, I forgot about this man. Who is Daniel?" Ryan questioned. " Her ex... " George replied when I didn't say anything. " Really?

Emma's POV "Have you gone mad? How can you even suggest something like that? " I got annoyed at George, hearing that."No, I am perfectly sane. Try to understand, Emma; it will be easier to convince your family further. " He gave his reason. " But they are already convinced. " I retorted. " What if they get to know that he is living in a hotel, they will get to know that you both are not serious about your relationship; otherwise, why would he live in a hotel when you have such a big and cozy home? It is not normal, Emma. " He said. " Fine!! He can come after two days, I need to make arrangements. But you, Ryan, stick to your room and don't interfere in my life or home. You will have to follow my rules if you want to stay there. " " Okay, ma'am!! " He grinned and nodded. Idiot!! " George, help him select some formal, partywear clothes and shoes for Eva's engagement and wedding ceremony. " " Hey, I have good clothes. Do you think I can't afford to have good clothes? I earn th

Emma's POV Beneath the suit, I chose a crisp white dress shirt, meticulously tailored to fit him perfectly. The shirt's subtle texture added a hint of luxury without overshadowing the overall ensemble. A silk navy-blue tie adorned with a discreet pattern completed the look, providing a tasteful pop of color against the charcoal backdrop.I carefully curated a sophisticated ensemble for him, ensuring he exuded charm and refinement. " Why are you so tensed, this is a part of the deal. I am not going to ask you to pay for the clothes. Consider them as perks of the deal. " I said. "I appreciate the effort, Emma, but I don't want your parents to think that I was trying too hard and I'm just after their money." "It's not about the money; it's about the image. If they see you as a successful, sophisticated man, they'll back off from pushing me to marry someone of their choice." I sighed, my frustration apparent.After much deliberation, they compromised on a stylish ensemble that struck

Emma's POVAs we explored more options, Ryan couldn't resist teasing me by suggesting some daring choices, like a bold velvet jacket or a flamboyant bow tie. "Come on, Emma, let's add a dash of wild to the mix. Your parents will love it!" "Ryan, we're not attending a circus. We need something classy." I raised an eyebrow and said. Amidst the formality, Ryan managed to slip into a few casual outfits that exuded charm without compromising style. He twirled in a well-fitted blazer, winking at Emma. "What do you think? Can I wear this to the pre-wedding festivities?"I couldn't help but laugh. "You're going to turn heads, that's for sure."We continued the process of trying on different outfits, each exchange made me more aware of him. As they moved on to accessories, Ryan couldn't resist a playful attempt at tying a bow tie. I couldn't resist teasing him about the silk tie as he had not tied the naught perfectly. "Oops, I think I messed it up. Mind helping me, Emma?" he asked me to t
