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.

The truth

Meanwhile, Zeus sought Zaria for a chat.

"I meant it literally when I said my name had been stolen." He explained.

She studied him with a small frown. "Who would do that? Someone stole your identity to replace you?"

"Not to replace me. Just to protect the person she cares about." Zeus hoped she would understand it now.

Her eyes widened slightly as she tried to make sense of what Zeus was saying. Could it be…

"Yes, it's our mother." Zeus confirmed her suspicion.

"I knew it." Zaria muttered. Part of her had suspected it for a moment, when Zeus introduced himself as the creator of Creszone.

When she was little, she once heard Lucy mention it.

"What are you busy with? You have been stuck on your computer the whole day." Theodore asked as he placed a cup of coffee on Lucy's desk.
