There was a lot of confusion from the last chapter so I wanted to clarify some things with this chapter.

1) Olivia really does only have a stomach flu

2) Mellie can be trusted.

3) Fitz's Family knows everything they can about his occupation.

4) This chapter is a flashback in Fitz's POV

Continue reading this chapter and it will shed light on my answers. As always enjoy!!

Flashback

"Hey Fitz!" Mellie peeked her head through his office door.

"Hey are you ready to go?" He asked closing his laptop.

"Yeah what are we doing today?" She asked.

"Do you even read your briefings? We are getting our intel on Elijah Pope. He isn't just dealing drugs anymore. We got an executive order this morning to put two people undercover." I watched as her face litter up.

"You don't mean us?" She said in a hushed scream.

"They needed two fresh faces that no one knows. I may have talked to the director about us."

She stared to do her victory dance. It was embarrassing for the both of us.

"Okay, okay we are allowed to use our real names. Real life stories and we are getting married."

It was no secret that Mellie had a crush on me. I knew she would comply to these demands easily.

"Are you both ready?" Our director Paul asked from the hallway.

"Yes sir" we both said in unison.

Mellie waited for me before we began our walk to the conference room.

"Are you nervous?" She whispered to me.

To be honest I was petrified. At the young age of 24 going into a terrorist situation was scary. Regardless of the amount of training I have had.

"No, we got this." I nudged her shoulder as we filed into the conference room.

We were filed in on everything that was needed from us. Pretty Basic.

Hit: Elijah Pope

Eli has been selling and moving drugs across the country for the past ten years. The department of justice has been after him for even longer. Two weeks ago his wife died in a car accident. He has been spiraling ever since. He sent his daughter Olivia Pope to a boarding school, sold his home and moved into a mansion. He has several kids working for him including Jake. Jake is Olivia's best friend and has been since birth. They are extremely close but he is closer to Eli. Jake was given orders to watch Olivia. Olivia is safe for now, but we need the two of you to infiltrate Eli's system. Mellie you will play the adoring wife and Fitz you will be the one on the inside.

Five years into the sting

We had maid a lot of leeway getting into Eli's close circle. The only problem was Mellie. The only way to get into his close circle was to show your allegiance, he like his men to be dependable on only him. He liked to be the father in a sense. So Mellie and I had to get a divorce and she had to take all my money with her. Eli seemed to have believed it. Before I knew it I was running for him. At first it was just drugs but then it turned into something else. The secrets got thicker and harder to be let it on. I reported everything back to my director. Eli called me into his office one day. I had been working for him for about five years. He felt like I owed him my life. In reality I was looking for the final nail in his coffin. Drugs weren't what the CIA was looking for. He was selling weapons to terrosits, the problem was we didn't know how. That's where I came in.

"Hello Fitzgerald." He smiled from his seat behind his desk as I walked in.

"Hey Eli." I responded looking around the large office.

"I have a new mission for you." I sat in the chair directly infront of him.

"Okay, what is it?" I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. I prayed my cover wasn't blown.

He laid out my mission. Run for Governor with Olivia by my side.

He wasn't aware that I knew Olivia was his daughter. He told me to use Jake as my leverage.

I never intend to be Governor or to marry Olivia. I did like I was asked. I reported back to my director he agreed that I shouldn't stop now and I should move forward with my mission.

So I got Olivia to agree with the terms and she moved in. I never intended to fall for her.

I used to be an eager CIA agent ready for a mission but now I was second guessing it all. If Olivia ever found out the truth that I knew about her since she was 13 she would never trust me. I have to lie. It is the only way to protect her.

Technically I didn't lie to her, in a way my 'father' needed us to get married. Stephan was Eli's man he has been his lawyer for quite awhile now. However Huck is an agent too. Mellie and huck are the only other two people who know my truth.

Olivia will never know that her father has commuted several crimes agianst the republic or that he even is involved in illegal affairs. She won't know that this is all a set up. One day I hope to tell her the truth. And I could only pray that we got the information we needed soon so I could cut things off between the two of us before it was to late. I am afraid that we have already crossed lines that niether of us can come back from.

Current day:

I watched Olivia sleep. The last seven years playing on a loop in my head. She deserved so much better than this. When she wakes up I have to feed her the same lies that I have told everyone for the past seven years. For some reason i had this weight on me about telling her. This sick feeling in my gut about lying to her. I had never had this feeling before about lying to anyone. I fear I have reached the point of no return. She had me hooked and I need to try and desperately push her away before I end up hurting her.

A/N okay so Fitz is CIA. He is eleven years older then Olivia so she is 20 and he is 31. Fitz of course is the good guy!! Jake is definitely the bad guy!!! In my summary I say Fitz is the devil, it was just so I could give everyone the element of surprise. Don't hate me!!!! I have been watching way to much Madam secretary. I will go more into detail but I felt like I owed you guys an explanation.

Love you all
