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.

"Now you have her confused." Theodore laughed as he joined them in the living room, having heard part of their conversation.

"Dad, do you know any of this?" She asked, hoping there was something that would make more sense than the insanity that was going on. "Did you know Natalie was my cousin?"

He took a breath and glanced at Lucy for permission to talk about it. When she nodded, he turned back to Zaria. "I did know Lucy had a long-lost sister called Ava. I only joined the dots when I met Natalie for the first time and realized how similar she looked to you. Even then, I wasn't certain of anything. There are many brunettes in Imperium, after all. But when I started investigating Nathaniel…"

"Wait. You were investigating him?" She was puzzled.

"I knew you were doing it in secret. I wanted to find something you could use against him. I didn't want you to continue to endanger yourself digging dirt on a man like him." He explained.
