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.

"Is the food too boring?" She couldn't help asking when she realized that he had barely eaten a bite and was instead blindly running his fork through the fried rice. "I'm sorry that I'm not familiar with many of those restaurants that you probably go to. Not that I would afford a bottle of water in any of them."

"It's alright." He said, despite not having tasted it. He was evidently dull.

She did not expose him and instead sighed. "So, that means I'm the one who is boring." As if it made sense, she added, "No wonder when we discussed, you looked like you wanted to bolt away as soon as the chance presented itself.

"Ximena," He frowned.

"What's eating up your mind?" She probed.
