Chapter 637 - A Story

Senator Rizza is a beautiful and alluring woman. Any weak man can be seduced by her and he is one of them with the exception of Jacob and Alex who have unyielding self-control.

"I'm sorry." Was all that Senator Melvin could say thou he knows that apologizing is not enough for the mistake that he had done.

Hearing that, his wife made another step back. "Just...I...I want to be alone." She said then make another step before she turned around acting to leave.

"Darling..." Senator Melvin grab her wrist to stop her but his wife pulled her hand away.

"Please." She said with a firm determination to leave. As of now, she cannot stay around his sinful husband. She cannot think right with him around her. She has to leave and stay away from him to think.

With that, his wife left him taking their kids away. He stayed inside their house to stay away from the prying eyes of their neighborhood. The scandal had spread uncontrollably and everyone knows his indecent relationship with Senator Rizza. The two of them were among the few Government officials that were known to be the most sensible. He hasn't even got time to clear his reputation after the bribery scandal recently and now this adultery scandal which cost him not just his reputation but also his wife and family.

It is just too overwhelming that he seemed to have lost his sanity.

After sulking in their living room thinking of ways to get back his wife and kids, he took out his phone from pocket and dialed a number.

"Hello." A frantic voice of a woman was heard from the other line.

"We're exposed." He said in a defeated tone.

"I don't need you to remind me that! Do you think I wouldn't know after a couple of calls and having seen it all over the internet?!" Senator Rizza shouted at him as if it was all his fault.

"What should we do? My wife found out about it and left me."

"What? Do you want me to chase after her and beg her to come back to you?" Senator Rizza said sarcastically.

Senator Melvin went silent. Between the two, Senator Rizza has always been the dominant person. "What happened? Who taped us?" He asked.

"How would I know? Do you think I would bother to find out if there is someone taping us while doing that?" Senator Rizza was totally enraged by his question. "Wait. Are you implying that I hired someone to do that?!"

Senator Melvin didn't say anything thou he never really think that way. But based on how he knows the Senator, she is the type of person that would do that to use as leverage against him. But of course, why would she personally ruin her reputation. He thought about it.

"No, of course, why would you do that?"

"Then stop pestering me, I have enough predicament as of the moment. If you don't care about your reputation, then go chase after your useless wife."

"Shouldn't we resolve this matter together?" Senator Melvin asked.

"Are you stupid? If we resolve this together it would seem like we already admitted that we are really together or are you thinking that we really are? Should I remind you that what we had was just pure lust?" Of course, Senator Melvin never thinks that it was more than lust because he never really felt any affection towards the Senator.

"No, I just thought that since it was both of us involve, we should work it out together in sync so that people would believe us if we tell them a story."

"And what story do you have in mind?" Senator Rizza asked him with a challenging tone. She wonders if he has anything in mind since she cannot think of any acceptable story behind those videos except for the fact that they were really having an affair.

Senator Melvin sighed. Does he have a story in mind to tell the public that will not make them appear sinful? However they try to explain the videos, there is only one explanation that the public would believe and that is they are having an affair.

If they tell them that they are in love, which is a lie, how will he able to get his wife and kids back?

But if they tell them that what's between the two of them was pure lust. Then what would that make them? People would think of them as a debauchee. An unprincipled person who sank below the normal moral standard.

After a while, Senator Rizza hung up when she cannot get any useful ideas from Senator Melvin.

Senator Melvin, later on, decided to remain quiet instead of explaining his side. He thought that he put more words to it and tried to explain their actions, his words might worsen the situation and people would still think of him as an adulterous husband.
