Beatrice's pov
I wake up into his arm. Today is the day that will announce who elected as the governor of Chicago. My uncle frank underwood is the Secretary of State right and now and who is trying to be elected as vice president.
"Are you nervous ?" He asks me
"I am kind of nervous but as long as you are mine , I will be fine ." I kiss him.
Edward meechum is my fiancé and my uncle's body guard . My uncle wants him to have a month off so he can morally support me .
"I will be yours forever . I promise that unless that I am dead , I will be your husband forever ." He kisses me . "I love you beatrice ."
"I don't want you to die . Protecting my uncle is a dangerous job and I am worried ." I grab his shirt but he has none . "You slept naked?"
"You like it and I know it. You like my muscle ." Edward kisses my forehead
Someone is knocking on the door . I know that is William
"Beatrice , we should go." William says
"Why is he calling your name babe ?" Edward frowns
"I ask him to call me that I don't want him to feel alienated ." I shake my head
I get off the bed and dress in my suit and dress . I braid my hair up.
"Give me ten minute william and I will be out." I say.
William walks away from there and I start to wear make up. I have to look nice today.
"Don't you think that he likes you too." Edward already in his suit now . He looks unhappy.
"you are jealous ?however when i was unhappy about you and jessica , you told me that is fine." i roll my eyes
"that is different ! i and Jessica are really past tense ." he hugs me from the back.
after i am ready, we leave the room. william are looking at us.
"edward why are you in her room." william is offensive now."
"All this time that you don't know that she is my girlfriend and fiancé ?" Edward wraps me in his arms
"She didn't tell me ." He shakes his head . "Beatrice, I knew you have a boyfriend but I didn't know that was Edward ."
Edward looks at me angrily. I know that it is unfair for him
"I am sorry. I didn't want to hurt you." I lower my head . "Let's go now ."
"Sure I guess."
Edward meechum's pov
I never think that beatrice never tell William that I am her boyfriend . I grab her hand tightly in my hand . When she came to USA when she was 6, I knew that she messed up my heart.
I used a year to get rid of her but she couldn't get out of here . Then I surrender my feeling and luckily that her family accepted me .
"Why you didn't tell William that I am your boyfriend . "I looked painful .
"He trusted me but if he knows that I am in love with you, he will lose the trust . You know what he experienced." Beatrice blinks her eyes at me
In the car she leans on me and I wrap my arms around her. William looks at us from the rear view mirror .
"If you are tired, take a nap." I kiss her . "I will wake you up,"
"Okay, I love you Eddie ." She kisses my lips .
After that she falls into sleep, she is so cute like this .
"I know you don't want her to get elected . Edward if I am you, I will leave her . I will leave her to a better person." William smirks at me . "You and I are only secretary details and you shouldn't be with her ."
"William you don't know about us . You don't know about how much we love each other ." I say
When get to where frank underwood works , I wake beatrice up. Beatrice yawns like a little kitty.
"We can go home early." I say . "Let's go."
She wraps her hand around my arms and we walk into the building. Frank underwood is waiting for her
"Let's go. The votes has been calculated." Frank underwood nods at us . "You have a great advantage ."
"Thanks uncle ." Beatrice smiles at him
We walk into office . Beatrice's opponent is there too. He is so confident compared to beatrice . The votes have been calculated . Beatrice has more votes than him.
"I don't know what you are confident about." I say
"Clearly she has advantage now but only because of her uncle . I will win for sure ." He lifts his chin.
"I don't think that you will. The votes included the House of Commons." Linda sighs . "They like beatrice more than you."
Beatrice is a nice senate before she becomes the governor of Chicago. She looks at a tv. I know that she wants to be elected .
Beatrice pov
In the end , my draft got passed and jack's didn't. I got elected .i am so happy. I hug Edward . Edward hugs me . Uncle and auntie clap hands for me
"Congratulation governor of Chicago beatrice ." The host announces .
"Good job beatrice ." Auntie Clair kisses my cheek
My mom and dad dead in a plane crush so I was adopted by my uncle and auntie .
"I love you mom." I say.
"I love you too."mom Clair says . "Let's celebrate tonight."
"Jack you know why you lose ? You don't care about people of Chicago." I say coldly. "Let's go."
We leave the building. People on the road are congratulating me .
"Thank you guys . I promise that I will be the best governor of Chicago." I bowl my head .
"We trust you." People are shouting to me
I am crying. I know that I am not originally from America and it is not easy to earn people's absolute trust. We return home . Mom and dad are in the kitchen
"William have dinner with us ." I walk out of the house
"I am still working ." He shakes his head
"It will be around 7. So it is your day off ." I smile at him. "You helped me to write the draft and I don't want to leave you out."
William has a good politic background but because of his father , he lost all the chance to be a good politician .
"Thank you." He smiles at me
"William , I want to talk to you about something and I know it is hard ." I bite my lips
"You can say anything." He looks gentle
I don't want to tell him that I want him to work in the military, Chicago has the biggest military based in USA . (I know the truth it isn't but pretend it is .)
"I want you to work in the navy as a general. It will be a better job for you than my body guard ." I look at him .
"Beatrice did I do something wrong? If I did , you can say it. I don't want to work in military." William looks sad
"I know your goal before you worked for me . I heard that you said to my dad that you want to work in military." I say seriously. "I have a chance now to put you there ."
His eyes are red . I know that he never cry even when his father was there .
"I don't want now ,"
Edward meechum 's pov
I stand on the balcony. Beatrice is talking to William . I should trust her but the way he looks at her doesn't make sense to me .
"You are jealous ." Frank underwood stands beside me . "I know that you do."
"Do you ever suspect your wife sir ?" I ask
"Claire had affair with Adam . You know the artist right? I know that beatrice knows his brother Albert." Frank underwood sighs . "As a politician , we can never divorce ."
I don't know what he means . He gives me a cup of beard . We sit down together
"Beatrice wants William to work in Chicago's navy as a general. That was William's goal but since he met her , he changed ." Frank underwood says . "You know the reason."
"I know but beatrice doesn't know that he likes her . I am a man . I can see it." I clinch my fist.
"Edward but we all know that she loves you ." Claire takes some fruits upstair
Beatrice comes upstair and she hugs me . I don't want her to be the governor because she most of time acted like a little girl .
"Beatrice what did you talk to him?" I ask
"I asked him to be the general in the navy. First that was what he wants , second I want you to replace his position. Oh by the way I invite him for dinner ." Beatrice smiles at me .
"That was my plan. I need William to help me with something." Frank underwood nods at her . "Soon Edward has to call me dad ."
Claire sits down . Beatrice is blushing. She nudges against my chest like a cat.
"I can't wait to marry him. He is so cute . I don't want anyone to go near her." Beatrice buries her head in my arms .
"I don't want anyone to go near you too," I look at william who come in,
"Oh William , come and sits down ."Frank underwood waves at him.
William sits down beside me . Beatrice grabs an apple and bites it.
"So sour ." Beatrice spits the apple out. "You have it."
She always give me something that she doesn't want. I bite it. It is sour but not that too sour
"It's not that sour ." Claire shrugs
"I don't like it. I want to go watch tv ." Beatrice stands up.
"It is downstair . You can go watch it yourself ."
