"Everest Clinton that's her baby daddy" Alphonse said to Peter that afternoon that was almost becoming evening."Well, well, well. That's some big shocker, the son of the president? She is a go-getter, has great eyes for big things" Peter said with a big hearty laugh."He has no idea" Alphonse said and Peter stopped laughing "How come?" He asked Alphonse."Apparently she never told him," Alphonse said with a shrug, before he dropped his phone on the table and picked up his bottle of wine.He had been trying to reach Charlotte all day after he came back to meet only Peter at home but her number has not been reachable."Something about a family feud and them ruining some teenage love" he informed Peter. "Where did Everest Clinton go to school again?" He asked Peter."Uh, it's difficult to pick a place because the president kept changing his schools even during and after high school. But he went to some college in London, took a course in politics in Dubai with a private teacher I heard,

Alphonse stopped abruptly in his steps as he closed the door to his study. He stopped almost scared to see her there and surprised but more so he was shocked and worried. She was here in his house where Charlotte was and he quickly saw his relationship hanging on a really thin thread. "Carla?" He called her name to be sure he was not seeing things, it's been months and a week after she sent Carina to deliver those pictures to him. He quickly remembered that he had not gone through those pictures since he hid them and lied to Charlotte. "Hello Mr. Fischer, you have been away for too long. Did you miss me?" She said, her crossed legs swinging as her shiny red heels gleamed against the bright light. "Uh, hi. What are you doing here? I have not heard from you in a while" he said and closed the door to the study. "Did you get my message?" She asked and her legs stopped moving, Carla looked extra beautiful today. She had a new haircut and her skin shone extra bright today, if his h

Alphonse's loud knock thundered on the door to the home of the elderly he had rushed to after roaming through three locations in the last three hours.His headache had been long forgetten as he sped after Charlotte, trying to trace and track her down to no avail.Her number was no longer reachable and it felt like she had purposely disconnected the number.He first went to her house, the one she lived with her parents when her mother was still alive, he had forced the information out of Peter and wanted to beat himself up for not knowing such information about her.When he got there, as he knocked loudly and called her name her neighbors came out to say they have not seen her and her father in a long while and the last time she came here she happily came to take some things to her father and gave them gifts.Alphonse knew that was true because Charlotte was a very kind person, the neighbor had to tell him to check her mother's grave if it was so important and urgent that he find her,

"It's a week until the elections and there are protesters everywhere. This is a good sign for us, they're saying the mayor did nothing to reduce the tax and their pays. Rather Harris is busy increasing taxes every single day. Even last week she passed a bill to add two more percent to the tax. This works for us now because Mr. Fischer will pick on this and reassure the people of increasing salaries and looking into the tax increments" Olivia said to Peter as he escorted her into the house and into Alphonse's study. "Okay, things are looking bright for us: I just need to prepare him for a press conference in the next one hour. But first we need some of his employees in the office to grant the press some interviews and tell them how good of a boss he has been to them since he took over the seat" Peter said to Olivia who nodded in approval. "Yes. That's it Peter, pick some of his best employees, the married ones with beautiful faces. We can't have some angry and stressed looking people

Alphonse took an excuse to go and take the call that had come through his phone, he would have sat to hear the results of the elections but this was the private investigator that he had hired secretly to look for Charlotte. The elections had happened yesterday and everyone came out en masse to vote for their respective candidates and right now he had people who gathered in his house to watch the local news with him and hear the results of the elections. But as he sat with his people, Olivia on edge, drinking wine and eating a lot of popcorn and chocolates, Peter warning her about eating junks and eating real food, Paul assuring Jillian he would get the takeouts for their night together and Cake for his mother as she requested, his mother checking in on him every second, he wished he had someone who cared for him like Charlotte did and sat with him now to calm his raging nerves. Soon the call came in and he stood up quickly to go his study and take it as he did not want anyone to kn
