Alyssa was in the meeting with the Chiefs and the President when her phone vibrated with a text from none other than Liam Grayson. The General who had caused her wrinkled from the annoyance he gave her. Alyssa was seating in the last chair next to the screens with the Director of the CIA across from her. The assassination of the leader of the DRC had been executed and succeeded. Henry told Alyssa so last night in their encrypted call. People who wanted a democratic regime were already accumulating and mass disturbances across the country had started to spark. The Army and police had shot down already 24 protesters and the number of wounded was only getting higher. The UN had announced that it would act and so it prompted the White House briefing from the Press Secretary on what the President will do. “There will be a civil war.” The NSA director said gaining nods from the rest of the Chiefs in the table. Merlin was sitting next to Richard contemplating on our next step as the US. We
The next morning Alyssa woke up to the sound of her alarm. Her eyes flared open glancing at the mirror on the corner of her bedroom. She felt his warmth against her. His hand was wrapped around her waist. Alyssa craned her neck gently to look at Liam whose eyes met hers. “You were awake?” She asked slithering out of his hold and getting up. “Why didn’t you get out of bed?” She walked towards the closet searching for an outfit to wear. She decided on a simple grey suit and black pumps.“I didn’t want to wake you up.” He replied throwing the covers off his naked torso and rising to appear in only his underwear. His body was to die for. As a soldier he has had his fair share of training. Especially from the fact that he was five years older than her. “I wouldn’t mind.” She glanced at him through the mirror and he smirked approaching her and pulling her close.“Got these scars from the field?” He questioned. Alyssa suddenly was pulled back in that military base in Iran where she had seen
Alyssa was done for the day after a few drinks in the Oval and attempted kiss from Richard which she refuses gracefully reminding him of his effort to be a better man. She collected her purse and items and called it a day. She was walking towards her limousine when Erik called her name.“Alyssa!” He called and she turned around to see him rushing towards her in his suit and tie. He had that fundraiser dinner tonight about disabled kids and inclusive education. “Shouldn’t you be shaking hands and making promises?” She questioned eyeing him up and down and furrowing her eyebrows. He better not have gotten in trouble again. She would not become besties with Henry for him. “Yeah. I just-“ he caught his breath leaning his head down a bit.“I just wanted to say thank you for the other-“ he looked at the secret service agents behind Alyssa and gulped, “other thing.” He nodded and Alyssa grinned at his very obvious lying expression. Erik was a boss. Not in the sense of leading but more in th
The DRC interim government had replied positively to the President’s demands. Fortunately for all of the world and the US, the new economic treaty gave even greater access to the DRC resources for the US. The New President of the DRC would arrive today after almost a month of negotiations to officially stand in the White House and sign the treaty. Everyone in the White House was preparing for the arrival of the leader with guests room being cleaned and chinas being picked by the First Lady who would be responsible for hosting the state dinner. The main Hall of the house was filled with maids, decorators and of course Katherine and her Chief of Staff. Alyssa had zoned out looking at her when she felt her eyes on her figure.“Alyssa!” Katherine smiled and approached her dismissing her Chief of staff. “What are you doing here?” She asked hugging her softly. “Well I’m admiring your work madam First Lady.” Alyssa smirked eyeing the decorations and the finest of cutlery laid out on the tab
It was the night of the state dinner with the New President of the DRC. The White House had been glammed up to perfection with intricate decorations and soft gleaming lighting accentuating the regality of the building. Everyone who was someone was to attend the state dinner. Every US political tycoon would attend and people who held unbelievable power would make small talk like ordinary people. It could be a clash or an alliance. Alyssa was almost ready fitted in her personally tailored emerald silk maxi dress. It’s neckline resembled the turtleneck hugging her collarbones perfectly while leaving her shoulders exposed. The dress exposed the majority of her back. The dress flowed with her every movement. It made her look ethereal. Her hair was tied up in a sleeked bun and her lips were colored with a seductive dark red. Her green diamond earrings hanged gracefully from her ears. The silver heels elevated the look more. She looked stunning. Liam walked in the apartment only to stutter
Alyssa had Liam return to his own apartment the night before with the excuse that she was not feeling okay and wouldn’t want to make him sick too. He agreed at last even though disbelief was written across his face. But he didn’t push her knowing Alyssa had her reasons for doing what she did. She needed time alone and he respected that. It was almost 4 AM when she was awoken by a phone call from the White House. And this time it wasn’t the Oval’s room number but Merlin’s. She picked it up. “Merlin? What is it?” She said rubbing her eyes open with her fingers. Merlin sighed and sighed again without replying. Alyssa stood on her elbows. Something was wrong. Her eye were wide open and her feet ready to jump off bed. “The Supreme Court is reconsidering Roe v. Wade. They are overturning it. Abortions are becoming illegal.” Merlin informed Alyssa who was already rushing to the the bathroom to wash her face and get ready to go to the White House. “What are we doing?” She asked him hoping M
Unfortunately not much changed throughout the week as more and more people went out on the streets protesting against the decision of the court to reconsider Roe v Wade. It was a huge step back for the US democracy and women’s rights. Alyssa was sitting in her office with the TV open starring at the news which showed swarms of women, men and children holding placards and chanting slogans. Some of them were interviewed by the channels and aggressively gave their opinion on the matter. Others were asking the White House to do something. To stop the madness. Alyssa exhaled sharply. She was so frustrated. She wanted to scream and shout and kick whoever stood in her way of her and her basic reproductive rights.She stood up and picked up her purse. The day was warm so she didn’t take her coat with her. She was wearing a white pencil skirt paired with a black blouse with white hems. Her heels were black. She took off and walked right out the White House to the street. The people’s voices c
The case was overturned by the Supreme Court and the first conservative states were quick to follow prohibiting abortions and starting off the processes for the closing down of abortion clinics. Alyssa was keeping up with the news, her TV constantly turned on in the news agency channel. It was done. She went through some documents of security clearance for the President’s meetings and briefings that would occur outside the White House’s perimeter and signed off on the agents that would escort him. She made sure to always assign the best for him in case anything unexpected happened. Alyssa and Liam had been going well. Liam was more than caring when they were together and their sex life was amazing by all standards. But… Alyssa didn’t feel fulfilled. Something was missing. She wanted to give her all in this relationship but the knot in her heart held her behind. It had been almost two weeks since the overruling of the Court and Liam had been nothing but supportive. He understood wh
