Bipartisan Secret (WINRI FANFIC)

In the halls of the Senate, power is built on composure, and theirs broke fifteen years ago.

When six-year-old Shiela Therese Gatchalian vanished during a Valenzuela outreach program, the grief didn't just break a family; it split a power couple down the middle. Senator Risa Hontiveros withdrew into a cold, untouchable shell. Senate President Win Gatchalian buried himself in legislation, building walls faster than anyone could tear them down.

Now, 21 years old Rocio Ciara Dee, a headstrong third-year nursing student with a penchant for trouble, is forced into a summer internship at Senator Risa's office as punishment by her grandmother, the formidable Atty. Astrid Dee. Rocio thinks she's just serving time filing documents. She has no idea she is walking straight into the quiet storm of a secret marriage, a shared tragedy, and a past that is about to catch up to everyone.
