I, Eli Marks, was the illegitimate son of Gregory Marks the President of the Marks & Wills Foundation in Utah. 

Two years ago, I was saved by Utah Billionaire and Chairman Armand James of Armand Inc., as my father Gregory Marks whipped me for being disobedient at a VIP lounge in Salt Lake City: Hampton Inn. The two were born nemesis and never saw eye to eye as the two companies had competed for a decade. 

Two years later, Pa sent my profile to Chairman Armand's office after they advertised for an open position of a secretary for the Chairman without my knowledge. Pa insisted that I had to ensure that I was hired or else he would continue to brutally abuse me and make my mother suffer. If I were hired, I would become a spy for Pa, giving him all the trade secrets and dirt for Armand Inc. 

At the end of the interview, Chairman Armand announced that I had been hired. Hired by a Tyrant boss who controlled everything around him from his company to his family had even set rules around him making him the most feared and ruthless person in Utah. Armad had risen from the gutter and made my name for myself by leading the largest company in Utah and becoming the first bachelor billionaire to ever exist.
 
The chemistry between us grew and our relationship developed so fast. But we both carried the burden from our past as the demons kept haunting us and pulling us apart. Will Armand ever forgive me when he finds out that I am a spy sent by Pa, to Infiltrate and get the dirt on Armand Inc.? Will the feelings we have for each other survive all the treachery of the corporate world?

EXCERPT

“Stop” I raised my hands in defense to keep the distance between Chairman Armand and me.

“That my dear Eli Marks, is a vocabulary that does not exist in my life “He smirked down at me as he moved closer and pressed his body to mine. My hands ended up pressed on his chest as my eyes flashed in anger. I swallowed hard as I felt the sizzling chemistry that brewed between us rise and my bottom lip trembled as a result. 

“You are just proving to me what everyone in Utah says about you “I muttered through gritted teeth hoping my crude words would push him away and make him stop advancements.

“Pray tell, what do they say about me, sweet Eli?” He drawled as his head lowered further and his lips were only inches away as our breaths tangled with each other and the scent of wine mingled between us. 

“That you, Armand James, are a Tyrant. “I blurted out.

“Thank you for the compliment, Eli Marks “He smirked at me and my eyes widened at the realization that he was unfazed by my words, and in the next instant his lips brushed with mine and that is how we sealed our fate.

TYRANT BILLIONAIRE'S SECRETARY

The next morning, the office was quiet, bathed in the soft light of early dawn. I arrived ahead of everyone, determined to get a head start on the day's tasks. I moved efficiently through the office, setting up meetings and organizing the agenda for Chairman Armand. The sense of purpose in my steps was palpable as he arranged everything meticulously, making sure the day's schedule would run smoothly.

As I was finishing, the sound of footsteps echoed down the hallway. Mark the Deputy President of Armand, approached with an anxious expression. He looked a bit disheveled, clearly having come in early himself.

"Eli," Mark began, his tone hesitant. "Do you have a moment?"

I looked up from my work, sensing the tension in Mark's demeanor. "Sure, Mark. What is up?"

Mark took a deep breath, clearly trying to find the right words. "I wanted to apologize for what happened that day I was in the office. I did not mean anything by it.
