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.

Suspect

"What?" Zaria's eyes widened in horror. She had a bomb on her?

Lucy's face paled. It seemed like Jaime was faster than her this time. When did he even plant the bomb on Zaria?

Zaria tried not to freak out. "I'm certain that I am not armed."

"Why don't you prove that with your actions?" Leo crossed his arms, signalling for her to let the guards search her.

"She is innocent. Will you take my word for it?" Desmond shielded her behind him. Although his words were a request to Leo, his tone was anything but. No one could feel comfortable about being confronted in a room full of people, and after such a commotion. It would be surprising if the next day's headlines did not paint Zaria as the assassin who was brave enough to attempt to murder the mayor's wife.

Leo scrutinized Desmond and Lucy and shrugged. "Fine. But I still want to have a word with the three of you."
