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
The little baby boy was named after Katherine’s father, William, and he was beautiful just like his parents. Every day at 5 PM when Richard had a small break in between meetings, conferences and advisory sessions, Katherine passed by to enjoy the 15 minutes they got to spend as a family. Richard left the Oval around 8-9PM when little William was already asleep. They ate dinner with Katherine and talked about how he’d smiled, or how fast he ate. Katherine was breastfeeding him. Richard seemed genuinely happy as he saw the door of his office opening and through it appearing his son, his legacy. And his wife whom he respected and admired for staying up all night when William cried so he could be the President of the US the next morning. He loved her. No matter how hard to believe it is, he did love her. They were together since the start of his political career. They were partners. And even if Richard had never said it and Katherine hesitated to admit it, they both knew they weren’t th
Alyssa had changed in comfortable clothes. She was wearing a navy pair of sweatpants paired with a white V neck shirt that was too big for her and fell over one of her shoulders. Her hair was down and a little messy from the short nap she’d enjoyed before hearing the doorbell ring. It was without doubt Liam. She’d told him to pass by her apartment. It was time.She looked herself in the mirror at the hall of her home. She took a deep breath, ran a hand through her hair and opened the door. Liam stood behind it offering her a soft smile as soon as his eyes laid on her. Although, his eyes hid something that Alyssa couldn’t make out. “Come in.” She invited him and closed the door.“I missed you.” He leaned to kiss her and she pecked his lips softly before backing away. “Just-“ he want to say but stopped earning Alyssa’s concern. “Just?” She asked furrowing her eyebrows. She reached and cupped his cheek with her hand forcing him to lock eyes with her. Liam sighed.“Let me have this last m
Richard was enjoying the time he got to spend with his son as he started to crawl and grow up each day and a little more. He loved being a father. No matter how many times he thought about it he couldn’t get enough of it. Richard wanted nothing more than to give something to the world in return for all it has given him. His wonderful wife and son, his presidency, his soulmate. He wanted to make sure that William would fight just as he did to make the world better. Give the world a gift, a big thank you.Despite the pain, the difficulties, the tears and the challenges, Richard had been lucky. His mind drifted to her. To the woman who had captured his whole existence. Alyssa. Aly. His Aly. He had noticed her puffy red eyes that day in the garden but chose not to push her for answers. He later realized from the quietness of her phone and messages that her and Liam must have broken up. Liam used to call her every day around 3PM to see how her day was going. He hadn’t called for 3 days. An
The next morning Alyssa woke up in her bed. She had been tucked in and the memories flooded her mind as she flattered her eyes open. Last night had been crazy. From the dining table they’d moved to the floor and then to the couch and at last in the bedroom where the sexual endeavors ended. Alyssa’s legs were sore from the sex and a euphoric sense made her head feel dizzy.The time was 8.45 PM. Alyssa panicked thinking she had been late to the White House but remembered that most of the people didn’t come in at least after 9 PM on a Saturday. She ran a hand through her hair and got up to head to the bathroom. She needed to pee and take a quick shower to wash away the coat of sweat lingering on her skin. When she walked out of the bedroom, her eyes caught a glimpse of brown hair peaking from the arm of the couch and stalled. Instead of entering the bathroom on her left she kept walking to the living room where a laying Richard was. She smiled faintly before smacking him awake. “Wake up
Alyssa arrived to the White House after her eventful morning and chat with Merlin. It wasn’t long after that he called her to check in how things were going there and if anyone was looking suspicious. Who could have found out? And how? Because all of them had sworn that this would never leave the campaign bus. It would die with them. And it would be one of the many reasons but the main one that would make them fit for the pit of hell.Alyssa couldn’t concentrate as her mind roamed through possibilities of who and when and how and if. If it got out she would be destroyed. She would be done in Washington and everywhere in America. Richard would be done. He’d loose everything he’d worked so hard for just because they had taken the risk without his consent. She ran her hands through the roots of her hair. She had to inform both Erik and Theodore about what she had found out. This was the right move. But what if one of them had leaked the information? What if one of them had been preparing
Alyssa drove alone to the Pentagon without her agents. She was the last to arrive. Her connections there had informed her that the three men were already there and expecting. She smirked and entered the building. Her heart was pacing. They hadn’t been all four of them in the same room for quite some time. They didn’t think they would be. But tables turn and it seems that fate had come for their heads.She took the elevator down to the underground bankers where they’d decide to meet. The location was untraceable. These bankers would hide and protect the Cabinet and the President in case of an emergency. “Hello gentlemen.” Alyssa greeted them entering the banker. Their heads turned as she walked in and all eyes were on the tall slim woman rounding the long table where they sat. She sat on the head of the table and smiled faintly.“It is unfortunate that we meet again.” Alyssa says and Merlin chuckled locking eyes with her. Erik is sitting across from Merlin on her left and Theodore is n
ALYSSA’s POV:The dinner with the Secretary of Defense went well. The man is very kind and actually has a plan to make the US a safer country. He’s very informed on the matter of the Second Amendment and the right to gun ownership whilst also acknowledging his responsibility as a public servant to protect the citizens and the children. I was pleasantly surprised by his responses to my questions and his knowledgeability. I paid for dinner to which he fought me restlessly but I insisted since he paid for our pre dinner drinks we had at the bar as our table was prepared. “See you in the White House.” I saluted him jokingly and exited the restaurant to head towards my car. I settled into the driver’s seat and took out my phone. It had dinged multiple times during dinner and I put it on silent mode. There were messages from Richard. He was expecting me. My reason told me to cancel. To let him wait there until he was too tired to wait more. But my hands gripped the steering wheel and I pr
