From the start, the entire thing reeked of coercion.
“Thank fuck,” Jack said.
“I’ll send over the recording shortly. Then you can do with them as you please. I’ll attach some photos to give some context so you can make your case.”
“That will be helpful, thanks.”
“Don’t thank me. Pay me. Your bill is on the way,” Josh said in his dark, broody voice Jack was becoming familiar with.
He let out a laugh.
“I’ll be happy to,” Jack replied, and he was. Best bill he’d paid in his life.
An hour later, he sent the photos and files to Roger and got a reply that made his night even happier.
Jack,
Files received. I’ll arrange for human resources to remove Cindy from her position on the grounds of attempting to blackmail a U.S. Senator.
Leave the media to me.

Roger
White House, Chief of Staff.
Jack closed his laptop and leaned his head back against the sofa cushions.
He knew he’d fucked up letting Cindy have her way with him. He was fifty percent complicit, and he owned that.
For two years, he’d held on to the disappointment of his marriage ending and buried himself in work. He should have been dating and sexually active. If he had been—with the right women—he wouldn’t have succumbed to Cindy’s seduction.
It sounded like an excuse, but men could also be victims of these things.
Still, he took ownership of his actions but now hoped the woman he’d fallen in love with would give him a second chance.
Amelia was heading to Hawaii today.
Something he’d only learned because he saw her Instagram posts. Which he looked at daily.
Fine, more than once a day.
Jack had a feeling it would take more than a few messages and phone calls to get Amelia’s attention, so he advised his offices he’d be working in the Aloha state for a few days.
He pulled out his Louis Vuitton suitcase and chucked in shorts and t-shirts as he booked a private flight.
Tomorrow, he would be in Honolulu and getting his girl back.
