"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

Meanwhile, Ximena was unable to meet up with Liam for lunch, so she asked to have dinner with him the following day. It was such a bummer that the idiot was not being compliant.

"I am too busy to run around the city for you, Ximena. Do you think I have all the time to keep making plans that you will cancel as you please?" He reprimanded her.

Before, she would have grabbed the opportunity to rain on him a series of insults but this time, his words pierced into her heart like a knife. What was wrong with her? Was it because she couldn't stand the thought of being turned down by anyone?

She held her phone against her ear with no intention to speak. Just as she wondered whether to hang up, he finally spoke again. "If you want to cook for me, I can consider dropping by your apartment when all my work is done."

She was crazy to even consider it. How could he let him into her apartment? What would it mean?

Insane taste
