She slid in, making sure that no one noticed her moves. “You have an update, Ms. Mayor?”

“Yes. I am sorry, but I do.”

“Why are you sorry? He’s not cheating with you, nor are you pregnant with his baby.”

“Well, here’s what I’ve got. There were two pregnant women at the gala. One clung to the company of his associate and the other was your sister-in-law, Elise. So that was basically a bust. The bad news is that your husband hit on both myself and my colleague, Alyssa.”

“What’s that you say? My sister-in-law?”

“Yes, Elise. She looks like she’s ready to give birth any moment.”

“Honey, I don’t have a sister-in-law. My husband is an only child.”

“Oh, wow. Well that changes everything, doesn’t it.”

Michelle’s statement was matter-of-fact as she tried to calculate her client’s next move in advance – like a chess game. “So, would you like to get divorce proceedings started?”

“No, not yet.”

“Okay, but sometimes on these types of matters, it’s best to move quickly in order to settle out and move on with your lives. I know it will all play out in the media, but you’ve got to do what’s best for you and your children – despite who he is.”

“Thank you for everything, Ms. Mayor, you’ve been a delight.”

Michelle exited the vehicle and made a mental note to have an invoice sent over for all of her billable hours in addition to the private investigators’ fees. She couldn’t fathom how an established, independently wealthy woman such as Donna McBride could stay with a man like her husband. He was scum as far as Michelle was concerned and she felt dirty when he tried to hit on her.

She went home, showered and snuggled up with some blankets in her giant bed. She clicked the remote to find that Governor McBride was up for reelection in the coming year. She thought to herself, ‘Is that why Mrs. McBride didn’t want to leave him?’

Surely, if it was revealed that The Governor fathered another baby with a hooker, it would look poor to the public. Despite that, if the information was leaked to the media, his opponent would have a field day and he would be skewered and forced to resign. Being good at her job forced Michelle to think of all of the moves in the chess match that her case resembled.
