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.

The reality that broke them

Long chapter

___

"I hate to have been the one to break it." Lucy sighed regretfully. She had thought all along that Natalie had ditched him for  his diagnosis from her reaction, she didn't even know about it. 

"What do you mean by that? What depression?" She questioned, on the verge of grabbing Lucy so she would tell her everything. 

"I thought you knew…" Lucy studied her expression. "Are you sure you want to find out from me and not from him?" She confirmed. 

"Just tell me." She was on the edge of her seat. 

Lucy sucked in a breath. This couldn't be easy no matter how simple she tried to make it. "Six months ago, I offered him a position at Twilight. I told him he could still keep his acting career and only work part time at Twilight. He rejected me." 

"What's that got to do with anything?" Asked Natalie, who wanted nothing but the truth about Devonte's medical condition.
