I know it's been a while since I've updated, but this will probably be my last chapter. I'm sorry if you cry. I might.

I pretty much know what I'm doing.

No ones POV

It was a peaceful night in the Hamilton household. A rarity. Usually Alex was either working up in his study or playing with Phillip in the yard. ELiza was usually busy trying to take care of the house, teach Phillip, and make sure Alexander ate at least three times a week. Although, usually with Ash's help she could get at least a meal a day. But Alex was out tonight, and Phillip was asleep. He had a meeting with Burr, Jefferson, and Madison. 

Ash had nothing to do, and she was bored. When a spy gets bored, usually secrets come out. She knew something was wrong with Alex. Not only because she could read her brother like a book, but because he was keeping a secret from her. The only secret he'd kept from her since he'd found out she was alive. 

It hurt to know he thought he couldn't share it with her. She would always help him. No matter what. At least, thats what she thought then. She wasn't so sure now.

After a long night of pacing, Ash finally decided to go out. After grooming herself and putting on some pants she finally left the house to walk into town. Most people assumed she was Alex's brother, which caused some whispers about how much time her and Eliza spent together. 

As she walked to the news stand to pick up a paper she noticed people whispering and pointing at her. She quickly picked up a newspaper and read the headline before running home to find Elize before she read it. 

'Scandal: Hamilton Cheats On Wife With Another Woman'

She ran as fast as she could, tears streaming from her own eyes, but she didn't quite know why. Was she mad at her brother, or was she crying for Eliza? As she stepped through the door she saw Eliza hunched on the floor, her figure shaking with tears being violently shed. A crumpled newspaper looked as if it had been thrown across the room. 

"Oh Eliza, you read it." Was all she said as she sat next to the crying woman. Eliza slowly shifted so she could place her head on Ashley's lap. 

"How could he? How could he do this to the children." That was what made tears come to Ash's eyes. The fact that Eliza didn't care about herself, or her own image, but how the affair would reflect on the children. She was so selfless and kind, she deserved someone who would treat her like a queen. Ash just thought Alexander could do that. 

"I don't know. I really don't know." She whispered into her hair as he softly ran a hand up and down her back. 

"I-I think I just need to be alone for a while." Eliza said suddenly before walking up the stairs to their bedroom.

Two hours later a disheveled Alexander came walking through the doorway. Once he saw the disappointed look on his sister's face, he knew she knew. 

"I'm so sorry." He tried to apologize, but was just given a shake of the head in response. 

"I'm not the one you have to apologize to. Give her some time." She whispered to him. But being the stubborn Hamilton he was, he decided to go up and see his wife anyway, but Ash followed. 

"You have to stop. You don't want to see her, and she doesn't want to see you right now." 

"That's where you're wrong. I have to see her. She's my wife."

"You lost the right to call her that when you slept with another woman." He didn't reply, just walked past her and into the room. She knew there was no stopping him now. 

Yelling could be heard from inside the room as she yelled at him. Ash couldn't bare to listen any longer and walked down the stairs and out the door.

May or may not make a part two to this. Lets see what happens. I'm currently working on like twenty books, and this one is technically completed, so its pretty low on my priority list.

Thank you for reading! Bye!

(also, do you think my writing got any better since the last time I posted a chapter in this book?)
