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.

Head over heels

Desmond gave Zaria a few days off, so she could fully recover before going back to work. She called Ximena over. As the latter did not have too much work to do, she visited in the afternoon and brought the lipsticks she had promised Zaria, along with toys for her favorite puppy.

"I'm here!" She announced jovially when she arrived.

Des was the first to rush to the door before Zaria did, and he happily looked up at Ximena to ask for pats.

"Des, I missed you!" She let go of the bags to pick the puppy up, only to see Zaria's swollen face.

"What happened to you?!" She was so shocked that she almost dropped Des.

"It's nothing. Come in." Zaria welcomed her, suddenly regretting her decision to call her over. The latter might just create a fuse and make sure to find the ruffians and get revenge—but in this case, the ruffians were dead so Ximena might want to seek trouble with the Fort siblings instead.
