Veronica Swindon admired her reflection in the tall glass windows. She looked every inch the socialite she aspired to be. Soon she would be the wife of a congressman, or rather, soon her husband would be a congressman, and she would be elevated permanently into the social circles to which she belonged.
Of course, there would be more of this dreadful campaigning first. This mixing with the common man held absolutely no appeal. She despised most of them, with their hum drum little lives, filled with hard work and drudgery, totally lacking beauty and elegance.
She smoothed her designer original dress and smiled. She looked good, and not a day over 25, although she would be 30 later this year. Her shoes were designer, her make up perfect, her hair, a masterpiece. Soon their position in society would be copperfastened, and she could spend her days at the club, and the spa, and her nights at the theatre or exclusive little cocktail parties.
She and Adam had met nine years previously. He was from quite a wealthy family, and that was a big part of his attraction to her. She was beautiful, a stunner really, with long, thick dark hair framing her small delicate features. Her big brown eyes gave her a bit of a "bambi" look, lulling people into believing that she was sweet and mellow. She was the driving force behind his political ambitions. He had managed to lose the bulk of his money through bad investments and gambling, but his good name, his family connections would secure him a seat in congress.
There was no way that she was going back to being without. She had been more than comfortable as a child, but then her father had lost his business, her parents had split, and by the age of 15 it looked as though she could end up having to leave her private school, and go live in the suburbs. Her mother had saved the day, and married a small business man with enough to keep them afloat.
She was pulled out of her reminiscing by Adam hurrying toward her.
"Come on, we're leaving!"
"What? No, Adam, dont be ridiculous, we've just arrived! I am not........"
She trailed off as he yanked her arm, hurrying her out of the hotel and into their waiting car.
He looked ashen.
"What's going on?"
He was silent, but they drove home at speed, while she berated him for his lack of manners.
"When we get home, I want you to grab your things, pack a suitcase, grab any cash you have.... we're leaving!"
He was turning into their house, waiting for the gates to open, and then gunning the engine as they roared down the driveway, and into the garage.
"Adam! You can't be serious! I am doing no such thing!! How dare you speak to me like that! What on Earth is this about?? If you have landed us in some sort of trouble...."
"Shut . The . Fuck . Up!! Get you things now, and I mean now! No fucking about with make up, get what you need, and get back here in five minutes, no more!!"
She went ashen. Adam never raised his voice, he never swore, something was wrong, seriously so.
She hurried into the house. That stupid woman Iris had left the alarm off. She would need to speak to her when she came in in the morning. That kind of lapse wasn't acceptable! She stopped suddenly as she flicked on the light. Five men in suits stood around the kitchen. Four of them were massive, looking like wrestlers or something, the fifth just stared at her, a slight smile curling the edges of his mouth.
Adam crashed into the back of her as he rushed in and stopped dead. He looked up.
"Oh Fuck!"
