When hate turns into something more. Would they be able to deny it?

I never imagined I could hate someone as much as I hate her. Just one person. Only one. My entire concept of hatred exists because of her. She's the CEO of a groundbreaking phone company - self-centered, arrogant, a womanizer - and let's not forget, a bully. Oh yes, a full-blown bully. She's the one who pushed me off the swing when I was eight, scraping my elbow and forehead. Bruising my pride. And to top it off, she had the audacity to laugh and say, "Fat girls fall harder; gravity must really like you." That's her. Engfa Waraha. And yet, here we are. Our families have been tied together for years, and somehow, in some twisted cosmic joke, I ended up married to her: a colossal jerk. This is not the life I imagined for myself.
