"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 Tyrant's Wife

Everyone held their breath as the juror stood to announce the verdict. "After reviewing the facts of the case, the jury and judge has found Ms. Alyssa is innocent." The man declared without wasting anyone's time. "The case against Ms. Alyssa Fort is now closed."

Desmond let out a sigh of relief and almost jumped to hug his mother. No one had expected that the verdict would be pronounced this soon. In most cases, it took months or even years before a case was finally completed, and he had dreaded that his mother would have to stay in jail for all that time since the court did not permit her to be bailed out.

Once the court was dismissed, Desmond's lawyer found him and Zaria to talk.

"The case against your mother has been closed, but she will be released from jail in twenty four hours. I hope this is okay with you." He explained.
