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.

Enthusiastic reception

The thud startled Liam and the young woman and they both looked in her direction. She picked up the nearly empty cups and ditched them in the nearby bin and walked to them, trying not to let her rage show on her face.

"Your boyfriend? The one you want to seduce with lipstick?" She glared down at the woman who was a few inches shorter than her, making the latter want to shrink away.

She wanted to nod but Ximena's gaze scared her into spilling everything. "The truth is, I have loved him for years but…"

"You can stop loving him now. He is taken." She hooked an arm around Liam's. The young woman scurried away, making Liam burst into laughter.

She glared up at him. "Are you mad at me for sending away your little beauty?"

"Hell no." He wrapped his arm around her. "You look cute when you are jealous."

Cute? Her brows furrowed. That was not a word anyone would use to describe her, but most importantly, "Why the hell would I be jealous?"
