The Tyrant's Wife

"The harder I try to hate you, the deeper I fall for you." His presence irked her to the core, but whenever he got out of her sight, she missed him?! …. A tyrant, known to be the city's infamous playboy. As an executive assistant, she was forced to work under him by the most cruel twist of fate. If losing her job overnight was a nightmare, then working under a boss like Desmond Fort was hell. He was an arrogant narcissist with an ego bigger than the whole of Imperium city, but that was not what angered her the most. The most infuriating fact was that despite his constant assholery, her heart seemed to stupidly skip a beat every time he gazed at her with those devilishly charming eyes. She knew she was making a mistake but that didn't stop her from sinking deeper and deeper into his charm. All she wanted now was to leave! But leaving hell was not nearly as easy as getting in.

[Bonus chapter]

Zaria's phone chimed, rescuing both of them from the awkwardness that was starting to build. 

"I need to take this." She excused herself. "Hey, Xim." 

Ximena's screech of excitement was so loud that Zaria had to pull the phone away from her ear. "Liam woke up!" 

"He did? Thank goodness." 

"It's a good thing he paid heed to my warning." 

Zaria chuckled. "I'm coming over."

When the call ended, Natalie was curious. "I couldn't help overhearing that. Liam is awake now?" 

Zaria nodded. "I'm going to see him. Do you want to come along?" 

"I have a meeting with Aunt Lucy in a bit. I'll drop by to see him later. She quickly said. Well, the meeting was not made up but even if she didn't have anything important to do, she would rather poke needles into her eyes than be in the same breathing space as Ximena right now. Until the culprit was found, the last thing she wanted was to be in a place that could start more fights.
