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.

After dropping Natalie off, Desmond went back to the company where Zaria had to work overtime because Natalie's family called him. He felt awful for having left her to handle all his matters on her own while still tending to Lucy, so he started looking for ways to make up to her. Hence, he bought a bouquet and ordered muffins from Blackout on his way back.

"How did it go?" She asked when she felt his presence behind her. She turned when she was done printing out a document, to see him buried behind a bouquet of orchids.

"Are those for me?" She was pleasantly surprised.

He smiled as he handed them over to her. "You have worked so hard."

She noticed a box of chocolate amid the flowers, which she took with a brilliant smile. "They are lovely. Thank you."

Just as she spoke, her assistant entered the office with a small box in her hand, which she gave to Desmond.

"This is for you." He gave the box to her which she opened curiously.
