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.

What makes an idiot

Before Devonte could say a word, she made a beeline for his bedroom to use his ensuite bathroom. She waited a few minutes and was certain that he had bought the act so she looked around the room. He had a cabinet where he kept his first aid kit and medical supplies. When she checked, there were indeed new bottles of pills that she was certain needed a prescription. She opened them and picked a pill from each, which she slid into her purse when she got back to the living room under the pretense of taking out her phone. A sigh of relief left her lips when he didn't notice anything.

"Are you sure you really don't need help cleaning the house?" She asked to break the awkward silence.

"If you want it spotless, it will be in an hour or two." He promised.

"That's not what I meant but okay." She stood to leave. "I'll see you when I can prove what I said earlier."
