"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

Zaria's eyes went wide. She wanted to use the same trick of pretending she already knew to dig for more dramatic information from Evan but it was too late as her expression gave her away.

"She is not adopted." Desmond remarked. She and her mother looked like two beans in a pod. There was no way they were not biologically mother and daughter.

Hearing his words, Zaria understood what Evan meant. "Did she have Veronica with another man?"

"You catch on fast." He reclined on the couch.

Zaria shook her head. "I don't understand. If she found out that she is not actually a member of the West family, shouldn't she strive to make Gabriel love her too much to want to let her go once the truth is out?"

He shrugged. "That would have been her reaction if she wasn't so bitter about it and if her father didn't hate the West family so much for keeping his daughter away from him."
