My husband is the President of the United States. And another woman is slowly taking my place beside him.
Samantha starts as a brilliant young White House fellow.
Then she copies my style. Quotes my speeches. Learns my husband’s habits.
And starts appearing at his side.
I warn Declan.
He insists she’s talented, ambitious, harmless.
Then I’m pushed out of my own work, painted as exhausted, and asked to skip the biggest state dinner of the year.
When I ask who’ll take my place, he hesitates.
Samantha.
“If she walks into that room where I’m supposed to stand, do not tell me tomorrow that nobody replaced me.”
He lets her walk in anyway.
So I pack my suitcase and leave the White House.
There was never an affair.
The betrayal is that my husband believed another woman over me until she almost succeeded in erasing me.
Now the most powerful man in the world wants his wife back.
And this time, apologies won’t be enough.
He’ll have to prove I’m the woman he chooses. And he’ll have to do it on his knees.
