    Evelyn had never in her life thought they’d get caught, but she’d never thought he’d throw her under the bus either. While she knew their relationship had to remain secret when it came to light about his affair he’d very clearly made himself out to be the victim. She had her knees to her chest as she watched the news, her eyes watering at the things being said about her. These people didn’t know her, yet they were passing judgement as if she were some gold digging whore –and that wasn’t even an over exaggeration, its actually what they were saying. Her mother drew the curtains closed to shield her from the reporters that stood outside screaming for her attention; for her to make a statement about the situation at hand but she didn’t know what to say. Besides, they had already made up their mind about her she knew there was absolutely nothing she could say to change their minds about that.

    “You need to eat, your father has call for someone – maybe she can help you,” her mother spoke gently as she set the plate of food in front of her on the coffee table. “He was told she is the best of the best at what she does – and we know they’re wrong, what they’re saying is slander and just plain judgmental,”

    “They don’t care about right or wrong, mom,” Evelyn said softly as she looked at her, “He is covering his ass, just like every other politician out there, make me look like a gold digging whore who had him wrapped around her pretty little finger so he can act like he hadn’t realized it till it was too late,”

    “We’ll figure this out, we won’t let him ruin everything you’ve worked so hard for,” Karen told her gently rubbing her back, “Now, eat last thing I need is you getting thin you’re already sleep deprived at least get something in your stomach,”

    “I called, she is on her way she’ll be here soon,” Travis, Evelyn’s dad, spoke as he stood in the door way. He couldn’t believe the audacity of these reporters, he’d caught them going through the trash like scavengers that morning and he had to chase them off – soaked a few of them with a water hose. He’d told them to stay off his property or he’d have all of them fired and charged with trespassing.

    When Alexandra got the call, she wasn't the least bit surprised. Not that they'd called her, but she had heard of the story long before. It was everywhere. News, radio, internet. Even regular talk shows were commenting on it.

    It was what she did, and she loved her job. She knew it would be a challenge, but she enjoyed being able to put difficult situations to rest. She left her office, giving her employees a heads up on what was about to happen. Driving her white mercedes through the street, almost every news station she turned to was covering the story.
    This was good, it meant that they'd be able to use the attention it was getting to their advantage and steer the media away.

    First, however, she'd need to see how bad it was. The media was portraying the girl as a whore, who was only after the governors money. Normally it would be easily covered up, but this Governor was interested in running for President, and would do anything to destroy this poor girls image to save his own.

    When she saw the throngs of reporters outside the house, she knew she was in the right place. Driving slowly enough as to not hit them, but fast enough to let them know she wasn't going to stop she made her way up the driveway, pulling as close as she could get. She was used to reporters swarming, they usually did when stories like this broke, especially in the beginning.

    Stepping out of her car, she grabbed her purse and walked swiftly up the path, her eyes forward. Never make a statement before you know what you're getting into, she reminded herself, walking in as soon as the door was opened. She was lead into a room in which the tv was on, another station playing the same story, and the girl, who's face was plastered anywhere people would see it, sitting on the couch in front of it.

    She walked over, extending her hand and giving a polite expression. "Alexandra Summers. You called?"

    She stood up and took her hand in hers,"Thank you for coming," she said gently as she sighed, "I didn't my dad did, I don't know what to do.. .I'm not who they're saying I am," she said to her with tears in her eyes.

    "I don't know what kind of information you need but I kept every text, every email and I have every call log. I never expected this to happen so I never deleted anything," she told her lightly, "I don't know what I need to prove whatever it is we're trying to prove but I'll do what it takes, I have dreams and he is trying to ruin them - I can't sit by idly while he ruins my political career before I'm even twenty five,"

    Karen walked over to her daughter put her hand on her shoulder, "What can we do to make this... go away, at least make it so that she can have a life without his name hanging over her head,"

    "We just want her to be able to live and be happy, but if we can ruin him in the process then so be it," Travis said, "It's not like he's done much for the city of New York as it is,"

    She set her purse onto the table and sighed. "We will make this go away. Because it is a big stort involving big names, it won't go away easily. So we're going to need to do serious fixing."

    She turned to the screen and then back to Evelyn. "I am going to need you to tell me absolutely everything. I'm sure you know now, that now that this is public, nothing involving this is private anymore. I need you to tell me and send me everything you have so we can be ready in just in case."

    "I'm very sorry for all of this, unfortunately politicians are usually the cause of these kinds of things." She smiled ruefully, pulling out her cellphone.

    "I have my team ready to deal with this and get rid of it as soon as possible. We'll need to dedicate an entire day to going through everything, so come by my office tomorrow and we'll go through everything then." She said, handing her a card with her business address on it.

    "Do you have any questions for me though, right now?"

    Evelyn sighed a little as she chewed on the inside of her cheek, "Uhm, how do we get rid of these reporters, isn't there some kind of violation of privacy act?" she asked as she looked at her then walked over to the desk and handed her four folders.

    "The first folder is every text we'e ever sent, there is fifty pages - I never asked for an allowance he offered it to me. The second folder is e-mails, we had separate e-mails from every, school, work etc. There he would send me pictures and suggest our neck get away. We've been on four vacations together I'm not sure how we were caught before," she murmured softly.

    "The third folder is the receipt to everything he bought me, and the bills he payed for me and the texts and e-mails insisting he pay for them," she told her.

    "And the fifth ...the fifth is..the fifth is something I think you'll find very useful," she told her softly, "It's every email that contained him talking about his wife, and some other things I'd rather not talk about in front of my parents,"

    She nodded, taking each folder as she named them. She took the last folder and sighed, looking at Evelyn. "We can go over it all tomorrow. Come early, we'll buy you breakfast, lunch, and dinner because this will be an all day thing."

    She looked out the window and looked at the reporters camped outside. "I can get rid of them, no problem. You can call the police, this qualifies as trespassing. But I'll deal with them for right now, and contact their stations to keep them away."

    "But as of right now on, I don't want you to even look in a camera's direction. Wear sunglasses, avoid them, but don't let them keep you inside. Staying shut in makes it seem like you're hiding, which is not what we want."

    She nodded,"Alright," she said softly, "Then we should call Liam... and go out to dinner,"

    Karen nodded, "Yes, would that be a good idea?" she asked looking at Alexandra, she knew this was her job and she wouldn't want to make a wrong decision. "Tomorrow is his birthday so maybe we can celebrate a little early,"

    Travis nodded, "We just want what is best for her, she isn't a bad person she just got mixed up in a situation that isn't ideal - if it wasn't her it'd be someone else I can assure you of that," her father spoke shaking his head, "What is it with politicians and not staying faithful,"

    "Liam is...?" She asked to clarify. "Definitely go out, show that you are unaffected. You are not a victim and we are going to prove that."

    "Unfortunately, political figures are usually who I deal with in this sort of thing. They love to take their wedding rings off, and forget that they are not only married but in the spotlight." She sighed, shaking her head.

    "You are not the first, and won't be the last. We'll make this go away, and in the process jump start your career to give them something else to focus on. You said tomorrow is Liam's birthday. If tomorrow isnt good for you, we can work on the day after?" She asked her. "Tell me when you have time and we can get to work."

    "Liam is my brother," she said to her lightly as she looked at her, "And today is fine, I want this handled as soon as possible because the longer we wait the more information they'll have on me that they deem usable,"

    "We will take him out for dinner, so we should get ready and make a reservation," Travis said to them then walked into the kitchen to call a restaurant and his son.

    Karen nodded, "Liam and Evelyn were adopted, she was four and he was ten," she said, "I have papers on their parents, they were bad people if they dig that up they can use it against her,"

    "Alright, then where would you feel most comfortable talking?" she asked her, gesturing to the fifth folder. She had said she didn't want to discuss it in front of her parents, so she would let her decide.

    "Definitely go out, celebrate his birthday. I'll need to know everything about your parents. We can go to my office now, and I can bring you back here. Whichever you're more comfortable with." She added.

    "Uhm we can talk in my room if you want," she said to her lightly, "I'd feel more comfortable there till we can talk more tomorrow, but we can talk about that folder in my room," Evelyn eyed the folder then sighed a little as she rubbed her neck lightly then licked her lips.

    Alexandra nodded, picking up her purse. "Lead the way," She sighed, following Evelyn to where her room was.

    "Alright," she started, turning towards her. "I need to know everything. Start from the beginning, and everything that can be used against you." She said, sitting down on the chair by the desk.

    "I was introduced to him from my college professor, he was trying to get me a foot in the door so I could start my career on the right foot. We had too much champagne and I got drunk, and he took advantage of me. Afterwards, he told me if I didn't do what he wanted he would ruin my career before it even started," Evelyn said as she walked to her closet to ick out a dress for that night.

    "I slept with him only though, he made sure of that. If I was even found to have talked to someone of the opposite sex outside the family, well... he would make me pay,"she told her, "Open the folder," she told her lightly.

    "There are threatening e-mails and texts in there when he found out I went on a date, either way. Things progressed eventually I forged up emotions for him because I felt I had no choice - I began to trust him, then on this last trip he gave me this ring."

    Evelyn pulled the ring out of her jewelry box, "I had it appraised it's over thirty thousand dollars," she said to her, "And the earrings to match are just as much, and this necklace is about fifteen thousand dollars, all of them are yours for payment if you'd like."

    "Payment can be dealt with later." She said, shaking her head. Truth was, she wanted this case. This was the biggest story of the year so far, and she knew it would be a challenge. And it was a challenge she really wanted.

    "Alright, lets go back to these folders." She said, thumbing through them. "Good news is it was a forced relationship. The bad news is, no one would believe it. They'd say you made this up, so we'll need proof. I'll have some people start digging on him."

    She said, chewing on her lip. "See, because its your word against his, and hes already got the general public seeing him as a victim. So we need to make you likeable, to show that you aren't how he's forcing you to look..." She trailed off, looking at Evelyn differently.

    "You bear a shocking resemblance to his wife." She said softly, more to herself.

    "I've noticed that myself, besides my eyes we're the same. She has brown eyes, I'm a bit thicker than her as well - he always told me her ass was too small and her breasts didn't fill his hands the way he liked," she shook her head,

    "he is a vulgar man, he has a temper as well but all the emails and texts of him ordering me when to be someone are in that folder. There are also pictures of things he wanted to do to me in there,"

    She opened the folder, "He sent me picture after picture, I printed these out this morning," Evelyn said to her lightly, "I have them all saved HTML wise onto a thumb drive, everything thats printed I have on there," she told her, "I wanted to make sure if they seized my computer that I'd have backup,"

    "No that's smart. I want you to make extra copies for your records, and give them to someone you trust just in case something happens to those. Can I take the thumb drive, to give to my tech people, they can use it when they start digging." She explained.

    "You do look like her, which means he has a type and you may not be the only one." She nodded, looking at her.

    "Alright, so right now working on getting your image changed is what we'll work on first, then we can discredit him, and get your career on track." She said, thinking out loud.

    "I want you to go out tonight. Go out for coffee or something, just be seen. Then tomorrow, celebrate your brothers birthday. I think I have an idea to get people to see that you're not hiding and youre unafraid because you aren't the villan."

    She nodded a little as she sighed,"I'll do that, I'll call up a friend or something and we'll do a bit of shopping," she smiled then handed her the thumb drive. Evelyn would call up someone she knew if they'd still talk to her, she really hoped they would want to because this was all she had. She had moved back into her parents house when the news aired because her apartment was swarmed with reporters.

    "I'll do whatever needs to be done to get my name in the clear, I don't want a man like that in the white house," she said to her as she looked at her.

    "We'll get it clear. Unfortunately with his position, hes got the leg up but not for long. I've worked with men like him, and he'll do anything to keep himself covered." She sighed a little.

    "I want you to come to my office as soon as possible tomorrow, so we can get to work, we're gonna make this go away. What time is your brothers party? So I know how long i have to work on this?"

    "We were going to go out for lunch," she told her, "I'll make plans in my name at a restaurant so that its reserved - it will be a big meal, about six people," she said to her, "We should have first statement out tomorrow, right?"

    "I'd like for him to know I don't much care for how he has spoken about me," she said to her lightly ,"I am not a woman to be toyed with, not anymore,"
