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.

Don't stop

It took a while for Desmond to process everything that he had just heard.

She placed a hand on his shoulder to offer comfort, which he took and placed on his chest as his breath hitched out of anger and disbelief. "I cannot believe it. I mean I had a gut feeling that Jaime killed my dad, but it beats me how heartless one has to be to kill their own dad."

Zaria was in disbelief when she found out about it too. What was worse, Jaime and Samantha had ganged up to frame their own biological mother for the murder. No matter how much she hated Lucy, even though the latter had disappointed her for the better part of her life, she would never do such a thing to her.

But then again, Jaime and Samantha were a selfish duo who would do anything to achieve their goals and that did not exclude hurting the people who cared about them the most.

"It will be alright." She coaxed him in a low tone.
