"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 narrowed down the suspects a great deal. Ximena did the math in her head. That was easy. "The decoy was Zeus's idea and aside from Desmond and Liam, no one else knew."

She realized what she had implied as soon as her words were out.

Zaria caught the implication and shook her head. "Zeus would never."

"Neither would Des or Liam or I. Zaria," she took her hand. "No matter who did it, it's going to be heartbreaking and unbelievable. You have to be prepared to hear any name being dropped as the culprit. Didn't Lucy say she knows who it is?"

"I have to ask her that." She decided to talk to Lucy as soon as her meeting with Natalie ended.

The doorbell rang at Theodore's villa and he was puzzled. Who would drop by so late? Besides, it was raining heavily. He checked the monitor and when he saw Lucy, he nearly tripped on his legs running to the door. He opened it and gasped at her drenched appearance.
