The Tyrant's Wife

"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.

Theodore returned a while later with snacks on a tray.

"I'll cook your favorite meals tonight. Stay for dinner." He said to Ximena, who was overjoyed to hear the news.

"Then I won't hold back!" She cheered.

"Dad, why did you come early today?" Zaria asked curiously.

"I wanted to take care of you. Turned out you cannot be trusted with your own safety." He teased her.

Ximena chuckled but couldn't agree more.

"How is the situation with your family?" Theodore asked Ximena in concern. Last he heard of it, she was having troubles with her parents because of her career choice.

"Same old." She sighed and didn't want to think about them.

Theodore couldn't help wondering how shallow one could be that they would want to force their child into the family business even though they knew that she liked something else.
