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.

Getting her back (1)

It was nearly unbelievable that anyone could be this friendly. 

By the time Ximena and Liam made it back to their new home, they had countless fresh ingredients ranging from vegetables, fruit, and spices to meat products and fish, enough for a feast. They were all freebies they had gotten after the cashier had made a big deal about them being the newest residents in Humville. 

"If we were in Imperium, I would be terrified of all the gifts." He remarked as they organized everything in the fridge. They were almost fully stocked just from the freebies. 

She smiled, holding the coconut a little boy had given to her for being 'a beautiful aunty'. "Everyone is friendly here. It's easy to forget we have not been living here forever." 

He grabbed her by the waist and kissed her neck. "As long as we don't forget we are not we are still on the run. Their friendliness could be a double-edged sword. What if they help our families find us?"
