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.

Unknown callers (2)

He stiffened when he heard the confirmation. Why would Lucy call him? It was definitely not simple. "What do you want?"

"To have a word with you." She sounded like she wanted to hang up, as though she had been forced to give him a call.

He didn't want to speak to her either. "Is there a good reason why I should 'have a word' with my ex-wife who dumped my ass and didn't say a word to me for two decades?"

She went silent for a while and he was starting to think that she was going to hang up when she spoke again. "Don't be so full of yourself, okay? It's not like I'm trying to crawl back into your life."

She was mean, just like he would imagine. "It's not like I would let you crawl back into my life even if you wanted to." He returned the remark.

She was silent for a few seconds. "I just wanted to apologize. I'm sorry."
