Surprise!
Katarina’s POV
The President is attending the inauguration of the newly constructed international airport at a province in the South.From the glazed glass walls of our holding area, I could see reporters and media celebrities from the local and international networks covering the event.Everyone is busy. Even Regor was going over the data I provided him for his speech while we waited for the MC to call him up on stage.After a few minutes of reading, he nudged me. When I turned to him, he motioned for me to come closer, so I bent my head and turned my ear slightly towards him.He leaned in and whispered - his breath tickled my skin."I hope this day will be over soon." He sounded so much like my son Dion when he was bored. His action earned an indulgent smile from me. I playfully patted his head while in my mind, I was going over his schedule for today, checking if there had been something I missed."You do not have any appointments after thBab terkait
An Affair with the President An Affair With The President
Regor’s POVMy surprise date for Katarina has resulted in a frenzy at the hotel. When we came in the day after, everyone was in panic mode.Since they could not contact me as well as Katarina, they assumed the worst. The presidential guards immediately reported the incident to my father, Senator Rodriguez, Gino, and other party officials. They made a mad dash to the hotel to mitigate the situation and apply damage control.My phone had been ringing non-stop when I turned it on this morning. But I chose to ignore the calls. I only sent a short text message to Gino to inform him that Katarina and I are already on our way back to the hotel.When I arrived, high-ranking officials from the party asked for an emergency meeting. They wanted to include Katarina, too, but I put my foot down.“Katarina has nothing to do with it. The incident yesterday was all on me.” I informed everyone at the meeting. I looked at Senator Rodriguez’s eyes, chal
An Affair with the President The Warning
Katarina’s POV“Good morning, the Executive Office.” I greeted the other person on the other line. My tone, all business and full of authority.“Hello, Mrs. Dimalanta, this is Gina from the office of former Senator Rodriguez." The minute I heard the name of Senator Rodriguez, my back straightened."He is requesting your presence at a meeting to talk about your progress on the Operation Wedding Bells.”.Cold dread enveloped my being. My throat suddenly felt dry. I swallowed several times before I was finally able to speak.“S-sure. Where should I meet the Senator? I just have to ask permission from the President.”
An Affair with the President The Break-Up Plan
Katarina’s POV I left the meeting room with my emotions in shambles. If only I could wipe the sardonic smile off Senator Rodriguez’s face, I would. How cold-blooded could he be?He wanted me to take part in his games against the President?I could still hear his words ringing in my ears.“I heard that former representative Marlon Buenavidez hinted on several occasions his intention to court you? Why did you refuse him? Playing hard to get, or are you too ambitious to want more? Is that why you involved yourself with the President?”My eyes flashed fire at the sudden burst of my ire. I clenched my fist to hold on to my anger as former Senator Rodriguez laughed sardonically, his eyes purposely fixed on my face. “Please do not set your sights on the President. He is way out of your league." he mocked me, making my blood boil.My nails dug on my palms. How my hand itch to slap his face and wipe the sarc
An Affair with the President Why Does It Hurt?
Regor’s POVI did not know giving Katarina my concurrence to continue with her mission would put a strain on our relationship.We hardly see each other anymore. Every night, she makes me attend events where I get to meet potential candidates for my wife.For two weeks straight, all I did was attend different functions and parties, even the birthdays and anniversaries of people I know nothing about. It had become dragging and monotonous.And then, last week, she started arranging dinner dates for me. Tonight my date was the only child to a couple who owns domestic and international airlines.“Good evening.” I greeted Emily Jones, my date that evening. She came into the roof deck of the function building inside the Palace, perfectly decorated for a romantic dinner.I put down the documents I was reading earlier to welcome her.“Good evening, His Excellency.” She greeted me shyly.I motioned her to the ta
An Affair with the President Play With Fire
Katarina’s POVHow can you miss someone you see every day?I had been asking myself this question for weeks now. Sadly, I have not found the answer yet.We were at the grand ballroom for the charity ball that the President was hosting. It was also a party to meet in one place all the girls he dated previously to get to know them better. After tonight, he will end the selection process and choose his bride.I watched him as he entertained guests - other country’s nobility, influential persons, and other heads of state.In his arms was Ms. Emily Jones, the airline heiress. When she arrived, she already zeroed in on Regor, latched herself to his arm, and never let go.I watched her as she remained glued by the President's side, acting like she was his First Lady. And I felt a pin-prick of pain in my chest. Jealousy slammed me so hard. I could barely breathe. From all the ladies the President had dated for the operation wedding bells
An Affair with the President A Budding Romance
Katarina’s POVThe children and I were having breakfast when I received a phone call from the President.He wanted me to come to his office the minute I reported for work.“What does Uncle Regor want?’ Dion asked when I put the phone down.“Nothing. He just wanted me to go to his office.” I told him distractedly. I am half-worried. Regor would not issue an order like that if the matter is not pressing.“Does it have anything to do with the magazine report about you and Uncle Marlon?” It was Daphne who clued me in.“What news?”“Mom, the news said that there is a brewing romance between you and Uncle Marlon. Is that true?” Daphne asked.I bit my lip. I looked at my daughter and realized that Daphne has indeed grown up.“Whatever you hear about Uncle Marlon and me is not true,” I told her.“But mom! Uncle Marlon told us." I looked at my first-born start
An Affair with the President What You Mean To Me
Katarina’s POVThat morning, former Senator Rodriguez called me for an emergency meeting with me. I did not even have time for breakfast when I received his secretary’s call. The President kept on calling me, but I do not know what to tell him. I do not want to invite his anger and cause a problem within the political party. So instead of taking his call, I turned my phone off and hope that he would not raise h*ll in the office on what I did. I looked at the black monitor of my phone and sighed before I put it inside my bag and continued walking. I was surprised to see Marlon sitting at the table with Senator Rodriguez. When Marlon saw me come in, he sprung upon his seat and walked over to meet me. He guided me over to the table under Senator Rodriguez’s hawk-like eyes. I stood beside former senator Rodriguez’s chair out of respect. I was about to open my mouth to greet him, but he beat me to it when he handed me a rec

Apparently, a tabloid blind item hinted at an affair between the man occupying the highest public office in the land and his assistant.
