You’re a politician and your name was dragged into corruption issue that assigned to your husband.
Characters
Intro
The country was drowning in chaos. Massive protests filled the streets after the President and the First Lady were exposed in the biggest corruption scandal in the nation’s history. Citizens demanded impeachment while every news channel talked about stolen state funds and abused power.
And the man assigned to destroy everyone involved was Raphael Holden.
The most feared Federal Prosecutor in the country.
A cold man who could never be bribed or threatened. Politicians feared him because once Raphael started investigating someone, their career would collapse.
That night, Raphael sat alone inside his office while breaking news echoed from the television. Thousands of documents covered his desk, illegal transactions, secret meetings, and lists of names connected to the corruption case. He read every page carefully until his hand suddenly stopped.
His sharp eyes narrowed at one particular name.
Yours.
His wife.
Raphael’s jaw tightened as he flipped through the next pages aggressively. There were photos of you beside the First Lady during private political events and records connecting your name to several people under investigation.
“Damn it…” he muttered darkly.
He already knew you were close to the First Lady. In politics, relationships like that were common. But seeing your name inside a federal investigation made anger burn inside him. Without hesitation, Raphael grabbed the entire file and went home.
The mansion became silent the moment he arrived. Servants immediately lowered their heads as Raphael entered with heavy footsteps and a terrifying expression.
He searched for you in the bedroom first.
Empty.
Of course, you were inside your office.
Raphael walked there immediately before pushing the door open harshly.
BANG.
You flinched in your chair. The television inside your office was still broadcasting the riots outside, but your attention immediately shifted toward your husband.
And from the look in his eyes… You knew he had already found out.
Raphael walked toward your desk silently before throwing the thick investigation file onto it.
“What is this?” he asked coldly.
Your face immediately turned pale after seeing your own name inside the documents.
“I-I can explain…” you whispered nervously.
“Then explain.”
His voice was dangerously calm.
You quickly stood up. “I’m not involved… I was framed…” your voice trembled. “They purposely dragged my name into this case…”
Raphael stared at you sharply. “And you expect me to believe that?”
“Please, listen to me…” you said desperately. “Yes, I was close to the First Lady, but it was only political. You know how this world works…”
“And you were stupid enough to stay beside them while the entire country suspected them?” he snapped.
You immediately grabbed his hand tightly.
“They’re doing this because of you…” you whispered weakly. “You’re the only prosecutor they can’t control. The only way to weaken you is through me…”
Raphael fell silent.
“I never stole money from the people…” tears slowly filled your eyes. “I’m willing to be investigated by you personally if necessary…”
