Chapter 107

The political campaign became the talk of the town, it however took over every other activity in the town in general and Harts family in particular. Olivia and Mira became very busy, that her pregnancy issues were relegated to the lowest place in the priority list. They would visit different units in the town, including the trade unions and other unions. Meetings were held at different locations and at different times even in the night. Chase and Alicia were the lead players when it comes to the security of both ladies during the entire movements. The more they consult, is the more the build more on the acceptability of the people. Most of the people in that constituency were yearning for a change of the person representing them in Senate, when they saw that Olivia a young lady of late 20s was involved, having heard her speak, they completely promised their total support for her. A lot of campaign posters were seen in strategic places with Olivia's face on them, people who had cars, were using it as their bumper stickers, whole some use it as plate numbers. Some of them conspicuously read; Olivia4senate. The electronic media were not left out, songs were composed with her name and played almost all the time on all the television and radio stations. This graduated to interviews, Olivia's face became a regular on air, her popularity grew by the day, as many people used her as an example to their children. 

As the events grew bigger, Ben Hart called his daughters and cautioned them on their behavioural attitude and character display in public, he told them that the most sensitive set of people they should be careful about was the press. Already, the independent press both on print and social media, had started showing interested in Olivia's campaign. There was a heated argument on all the social media space, being that a lady was on the race for that position, not just a lady, but a young one at that. The few of them would gather around the house trying to get an opportunity of one on one interview with Olivia, so as to attract traffic on their page. While this was good to an extent, Olivia's Dad didn't want his daughters to take for granted their opposition who were in other parties. He warned them not to think that because Senator Crusoe was still in custody, he wouldn't fight for his freedom and possibly fight to retain his seat in the upper house. All these kept the twin sisters on their toes, they reduced their public appearances, with Pat doing a great job few days on it, their absence not withstand, it made things a lot more easier. 

Senator Crusoe got the news of the noise in town about Olivia Hart, he sort for his lawyer, so he would verify the news. When the lawyer came, they had a long discussion and he was made to know that it had gone beyond the level it was presented to him. He couldn't believe what was happening to him, although he suspected that Ben was behind his problem, there were no evidence to prove his case. His lawyer had been busy making contacts to see that he was granted bail at the next court seating so that he can put up a fight. All his effort seemed not to be yielding any result. He knew his case and the evidence was weighty, but he believed that if he could find a little thing to hold as a proof and back it up with the letter he signed for the Harts, he could turn around the case. He would prove that he was forced into writing the consent letter not to contest thereby proving he was set up with the various crime charges. The only challenge he felt he would have was Tim, he had thought how he would handle him, he either bribe him by offering him some huge amount of money and some other Luxury or he would poison him. He had just a week before his next case, so he told his lawyer to do everything possible to get him out of the cell.

Mike was in Cindy's room when the then Cable news gave the news and talked about the special program that would come up the next one hour. He was most surprised when he saw Olivia's face on the screen, he would have been confused whether it was Olivia or her sister Mira, but the name was boldly displayed under the picture, with the position of the Senate seat she was gunning for displays too. He was so focused on the television, that he didn't notice Cindy who was seeking his attention. He turned to her, and responded to her question. He only told her he knew Olivia, but refused to open up to her, that she was the lady he told her about. He had planned leaving Cindy's room earlier, but for the program, he changed his mind. He would rather stay and watch it in her room. 

Mike felt a little more at ease with Cindy, they seemed to be getting along very well. They had understood their various boundaries, and settled for the fun and enjoyment they could get from their togetherness. It was Mike's suggestion that they went to her room after the dance at the poolside, the dance which started as normal had turned to an affectionate one, with people appreciating them as lovely couple. Their connection was so fast and before they knew it, everything turned romantic. At that point, Cindy was already rubbing her big butt on Mike's groin, following the rhythm of the beat from the speakers. This turned Mike on, his dick went hard and the effect was felt by Cindy. She loved the feeling, she consciously moved closer into his arms, allowing him hold her so tight to himself. It wasn't long that she turned her head up to look at his face, being that they had taking enough if the alcoholic drinks, their body yearned for each other, the eye contact between them that instance triggered a deep feeling that they couldn't resist. They brought their face closer to each other inch by inch, until their lips touched, this led to a peck on the lips, and finally a deep kiss that lasted for some time. It was the viewers clapping sound, that brought them back to their consciousness. Mike had already gone far that he didn't want the moment to end just like that. So he asked that they move to her room.

They barely got to the room when Mike's phone rang, he looked at the number, it was not a registered line on his phone, when he picked, the voice introduced herself as the receptionist on the ground floor. She asked that Mike came down as one Miss Margaret was eating for him. Mike didn't know what to say or do, he heart was beating fast, he needed to get a reason to leave Cindy, when he finally turned, Cindy was not standing there, he looked around, and saw that the door to the bathroom just got shut. He wondered if she had heard or suspected the call. He had told the voice that he will be there immediately, so Cindy might have felt bad that he was about to leave so sudden. He sat down and waited for her to come out before leaving. While waiting, he thought of the reason for Margaret's surprised visit, why would she visit without letting him know, they never discussed anything about he visit, meanwhile it hadn't been long they got off the phone, with him promising he would see her the next day. What was it she would be looking for that couldn't wait for the next day. These were rhetorical questions that kept popping up in his mind. Finally Cindy came out from he bathroom, she didn't allow him talk, all she said was;

Go and answer the person calling, I will be waiting.

Mike felt guilty the more, he new she wasn't happy though she tried to hide her feelings but the voice have her away. He gathered the courage he could, and left the room after giving her a peck and talking her he would be back in a short while. 

When Mike got to the ground floor, he saw a GMC suburban parked in front of the lobby, there was no sight of Margaret anywhere, so he suspected she must be the one in the car. He quickly moved to the rear door, the door doing open, so he stepped in and shut it as quickly as he could. He decided not to allow the occupant who was Margaret to step down so peradventure Cindy has followed or watched from somewhere, she wouldn't know who he met in the car. Margaret apologized for visiting unannounced, she told him, it was due to the fact she was around the neighbourhood that he felt the need to drop by. When he saw that Mike was okay with the apology, she then told him the main reason for the visit. When she had ended her talk, all Mike could ask was time to think it over before giving he feedback. Margaret hesitated for a moment, then decided to let him have it his way. She only added that there wasn't time and he was the only one who that would perfectly fit into the role. When they had agreed, Mike came down from car, shut the door behind him. He prayed that nothing should make Margaret step down from the car, luckily for him, his prayer was granted a positive answer, as the  driver took off immediately. That was when he returned to meet the news on the scheduled program.
