"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

"That's not fair." Her eyes dropped.

Theodore flicked her forehead for being stubborn. "The world is never fair. At least not completely. Sometimes you have to sacrifice yourself for the well being of others but at other times, you have to be selfish. If Desmond takes you up on your offer and marries his ex-girlfriend to be with his daughter, what will happen once my grandchild is born?"

Her hand slid down her stomach. "I can take care of my child."

"Without their father, right? You will have switched positions with Angela." He reminded her.

"I…" She averted her gaze. She had not thought about it that way.

He ran a hand down her back. "I know what you are scared of. You just don't want to be a step-mother, right?"

She remained silent, neither agreeing with him or denying his claim and he took it as a yes.
