Thinking back into the past

Was the guy worth her time and love?

Was the marriage worth it? While looking in the mirror, she saw a naïve young woman in love from five years back. The foolish smile she would throw at the man.

Seven years ago

Her father was the outgoing president of the country. She was the apple of her father's eyes, and he would often take her to his meetings and campaigns. She thought it was just a father's love, but he was looking for an allegeable suitor for her. He wanted her to have the life she had always had. A loving and cherished life. But he never thought that people would come for her just because of the power behind her.

That was the first time she saw Martin. He was a young senator in the country and unmarried.

Just like any other meetings her father arranged, she was there. That's when her eyes were drawn to a tall figure standing with a few other young men in the corner of the room, discussing something serious. She could not help but notice his handsome face. He had worn a fitted dark blue retro suit perfectly suited to his masculine body. The corner of the wine-red handkerchief could be seen subtly on the front chest pocket. Glancing at his body, she could see a pair of straight legs and a pair of freshly polished black leather shoes. She was deep in her thoughts and admiration to notice her father was beside her, looking in the direction she was looking.

"You like him?' he asked, knowing at her. He had seen her love-struck gaze. He wanted her to find someone she could love. Though the background mattered to many, he didn't mind who would marry her as long as they were in love and had a connection.

"Dad. You startled me. Me? No way," she blushed, looking at her dad and then the man. "he saw like a nice guy, but his good looks just attract me."

"Mmm. Is that all?" her father teased her further as he pulled her towards them.

"Mr. President"

"Mr. President"

The Young men bowed in respect as the president walked toward them.

It was rare to be in the country's presence of a mighty man. And the beautiful beauty beside him. Many people were attracted to Evelyn. She was a rare beauty, and above that, she was also a well-known surgeon in the largest hospital in the country.

"No formalities, young men. Today it was for you guys. I wanted the young men to meet and interact with each other. Ooh, meet my daughter Evelyn. I imagine most of you know her" He introduced her while looking at Martin.

"Nice to meet you, young miss. My name is Martin. The Senator of County 25." He looked at the woman before him in admiration. No man could resist the beauty before them, including him.

"Pleasure is all mine" Evelyn looked at him as something ran in her stomach. Something was pulling her to him.

She endured taking her gaze from him as she greeted the rest of the young men in his group.

"Okay. I will leave you guys to enjoy yourselves" The president left as soon as he finished leaving Evelyn there.

"Dad!" she hissed under her breath, but the man ignored her, heading to the older generations for talks. She composed herself and talked with them. From time to time, she would throw looks at Martin.

They all exchanged contacts by the end of the meeting

She had always had good relationships with most aristocratic families, young men, and women. Most of them came from political families. Having a close relationship with them was crucial

For months she was in contact with the people she met in the meetings her dad dragged her to, and that's where her romantic relationship with Martin began. He came in too strong in her life, and she embraced the momentum and swung with it.

Thinking of it now, it's like he did everything on purpose. It started with dates that were captured in newspapers and news channels.

Headlines were all over them. She always thought it was coincidental but heard the conversation with the other woman in the video. She was skeptical of his intentions from the start.

President Smith's daughter, Evelyn, seems to be dating the Senator of county 25

Is there something going on between the

Senator Martin and the president's daughter?

There were always topics that suggested otherwise. Thinking that it was cool, She enjoyed the whole world knowing we were together

Then the two families met. They liked each other. They were high in

society. Martin's father was a cabinet minister under the leadership of her father. It was logical they knew

each other. They arranged the marriage. It was a political marriage that would benefit both families, but it was true to say it was more beneficial to Martin's career from the start. Soon the headlines changed

Senator Martin and the president's daughter were getting married

The best surgeon in the country is getting married to a politician

Being all over the internet and in headlines, they were seen as the golden coupled of which we were for a year and a half. Things were flourishing between them. Things changed when Martin ran and won the governorship position. Evelyn then became the first lady of the county 25. She didn't have to appear everywhere he went but was seen with him occasionally. That's when it all started. The late comings, missing dinner, staying out at night. He stopped touching her.

She was pregnant at that time when the strange behaviors started.

Then one night, she felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen. The pain kept on increasing to the point she could not bear it. The servants had gone to rest. She was all alone in the bedroom with only one maid that was sleeping in the guest room. Martin was nowhere to be seen.
