A mayor(Alice Guo) who planned to make the senator(Risa Hontiveros ) fall in love with her to cover up her involvement in a POGO HUB but what about the plan if she has already fallen for the senator.
ALICE POV "The senate hearing is coming up, can I really do it"
I remembered the second senate hearing, media cameras were looking down on me, it might happen to me again
I sat on the couch, took my phone and saw that my ate Shiella had a message

I hung up the phone, I was silent and stared at the family picture hanging on the wall of my room.
I remember when I was 10 years old papa went bankrupt and I was the one he sent here to the Philippines to handle the POGO hub he built and he even made a fake birth certificate to cover my true identity. His plan was successfull I became the Mayor here in Bamban and I was able to handle his POGO hub business which now the senates have discovered and are blaming me.
I asked myself "Mali ba Ako" and that I realized that my father controlled me until now, what he commands I follow. Who am I to disobey him? I am his daughter.
My tears fell I looked in the mirror I removed my glasses from my eyes I wiped the tears because there is no one else to wipe but me. I talked to myself that why are they treating me like this I don't kill anyone and steal nothing the way I look at myself in the mirror I feel like I'm alone suffering from my dad's orders
I have nowhere to go and I have no allies except my constituents in Bamban "buti pa ang mga constituents ko" I took a deep breath to relieve the pain and sadness I was feeling
-------------------✂️ A few Days
it's the day of the senate hearing before the hearing starts Ms. Risa came to me "Alice good luck" I nodded
During the senate hearing, the NBI released evidence, I was very sad, it was like stabbing my heart with a knife, I was disappointed with their evidence , while the evidences are coming out, I'm getting an anxiety attack, that's why my answers to them are repeated over and over again and my hands are shaking with fear
"Mayor Guo Say you said lying is not fair but why did you lie in the previous hearings? Ms. Risa asked
I was going to speak but she said No no Mayor Alice I will suspend the hearing na .I wasn't even allowed to explain
When the hearing was suspended , I stood up from where I was sitting and picked up my bag to go home but the media cameras stopped me to interview me and I also answered their other questions and it was enough that they found out about my citizenship, after that I went home to my condo I looked at the empty room and I sat on the bed crying.
Am I really the one they are hoping to avoid going to jail? i asked my self while crying
I stopped crying when I heard someone calling my phone and it was ms. it's risa. I just let it ring and I just stared at my phone as she called again and again, I felt guilty and answered it.
"Hello Alice Are you Okay"
"okay lang Po Ms. Risa " my voice sounded like crying
"No you are not ,i can hear your voice alice are you crying?
"Hindi Po" I said while wiping my tears
"look alice I hear your voice parang Kang umiiyak admit you are crying why because of the hearing earlier? im sorry Alice"
" Bakit Ka Po Nag sosorry"
" I know how you feel now Alice, try to be okay" opo ms.risa
"Ms.Risa Bat Po kayo tumawag Ano Pong sadya Niyo"
" Wala I'm just checking if your okay"
"Hmm after mo Po Akong igisa Sa hearing your checking if I'm okay seriously Ms.risa? she laughed at me "of course Alice I also have a concern for others
"Talaga Po" "Oo Nga kulit " I giggled
I would have cried all night again if ms.Risa didn't call me to comfort. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
