Politics was the game. Love was the scandal.

Senator Nathan York was everything Micah Lennox hated—older, married, conservative, and dangerously good at keeping secrets. They were rivals on the debate stage, enemies in public, and burning for each other behind closed doors.

But when Nathan gets shot at a public event and collapses into Micah’s arms, the world stops watching the election... and starts digging into their past.

A year ago, they were just opponents.
Now? The truth is bleeding out. A conservative Politician can lose it all if the secret of the affair gets out. 

Lies. Power. Obsession.
This isn't just about who wins the vote. It's about who survives the fallout.

The Senator's Secret Lover

"You are one of us now. We are on the same team. You are now a king, not a boy anymore", Marcus said to him.

Micah got invited to a secluded spot to meet up with Marcus. He handed over to him a flash drive and an encrypted phone.

Micah face was expressionless. He was trying to survive putting up with this.

Marcus smiled proudly at him. He just managed to split up Nathan and Micah.

Micah was back at his apartment. He had several calls from Nathan but kept ignoring. Every day kept getting worse, he had to block his number.

Micah brought out his documents in preparation for the debate tomorrow. He's so drained but not he would have to see Nathan's face tomorrow.

Backstage, Micah had his hands in his pockets. Heavy bag eyes from many sleepless nights.

"You look terrible, mehn. Did you sleep at all for days", Nora walked up from behind him.

"It's work, I have gotten so much busy."

"Mic, I'm your best friend..I know this ain't work. Your heart got broken", she persisted.

"Nora, drop it. There's nothing between us anymore."

"Are you sure?, cause leaving him made you look miserable like this. He came to be telling me you broke up with him"

"Micah, Nathan loves you. There are things that take time and..."

"JUST CUT IT!, you were with the idea of me leaving him now you are against it. You are my best friend, you ought to be on MY SIDE!", he yelled.

"I don't think I know you anymore, Micah", she said calmly.

"I'm sorry, Nora. I just don't want to be anyone's secret anymore", he took a deep breath.

She walked away. Micah doesn't know if she's mad or not.

"You are up, Mr Micah ", said one of the backstage workers.

Micah managed to keep himself together through out the debate. Head banging, hands shaking.

Knowing he was speaking in public with someone that had his heart and plans to betray.

"Are you okay, Mr Micah?", Nathan asked concerned.

"It's not your business, Senator.", he replied.

"I'm just concerned, you don't look like?"

"Can we stick to the debate?", Micah replied.

Micah was staring daggers towards Nathan. Spectators just assumed because they were opponents was the reason.

Micah kept taking jabs at Nathan making the moderator even have a difficult time.

After the debate, Nathan goes Micah. He was heading to the toilet. He was throwing up.

"Micah, are you okay?. You look bad.", he touched his face and forehead.

"Stop, get your hands off me. I'm fine, Nathan"

"I miss you so much. You weren't picking my calls"

"Nathan, let go. I don't want you anymore. Anybody can hear us from here."

Nathan pulled him closer kissing him.

He pushed him. "I'm out of here". He hurriedly walked out.

"Young hopeful senatorial Micah Lennox teams up with presidential candidate Marcus Hale".

Nathan saw the picture, Micah shaking hands as he publicly stepped out with Marcus at a fundraiser event.

"I knew something was wrong. Marcus, you fucking snake."

The First Strike.
