I had been with Johnathan for over a year now. Nobody besides us knew about our relationship. At first, I was hesitant about anyone knowing about us. I wasn't sure how people would react to me moving on from Bruce. But somewhere I wasn't ready to let go of Bruce. Johnathan himself didn't want anybody to know about us. He didn't want the publicity or the attention.

Alfred seemed to have his suspicions. He would have a knowing smile on his face when I came home. Alfred had commented that I had been smiling more. He said I was happier than I had been in a long time.

There were some drawbacks of having to hide our relationship. There weren't many places were we could be seen together. If we went out for dinner, it had to look like it was a business meeting. We would spend most of our time together at Johnathan's house or at his office.

I couldn't meet Johnathan in the open because of who I was and who I was married to. Bruce had been declared dead by the city. Rachel and I had fought hard to stop this from happening, but it made no difference because nobody had seen or heard from Bruce in so long.

I live in Gotham city, a city that is known to be the most corrupt city in the world. The Mob families ran Gotham. The Mob Bosses ruled Gotham, the police force belonged to them. Most of the police force were in their pockets. What they wanted and said was the law. They owned the lawyers, judges, other law enforcements and the government belonged to them. Each family had their own people in each area.

I was trying to make Gotham a better place for the residences of the city. I tried to give them more opportunities. I had some help from some of the elite of Gotham. I had been able to most of what I was able to because of the help I received from them. Even the elite wanted to stay out of the limelight when it came to helping the less fortunate. People didn't want to get involved with the Mob. People were scared of what would happen to their families and loved ones. They didn't want their families or friends to be hurt because they upset the Mob families. But they also didn't want to upset the last member of two of the oldest families in Gotham.

There wasn't much that happened in this city that shocked people. People were killed or murdered so often that people no longer battered an eyelid when they heard about it. People had become so desperate that muggings had become a common occurrence. One of the organisations I had set up was for the sole purpose to give people a place to stay, give them money or essentials so they weren't desperate to turn to the Mob.

That was the main part of the crime and corruption was because of the poverty in Gotham city. People that was desperate to get money for their family that they were willing to do anything. Anything meaning working for the Mob families and to commit crimes. My parents and my in-laws had tried to help the less fortunate people of Gotham, but it didn't do much.

When my in-laws were mugged and murdered by Joe Chill, there was an outcry. The shock and horror of what had happened shocked the foundations of Gotham. People had stated to help instead of ignoring everything and burying their heads in the sand. But after a while it all died down.

It wasn't till I started my organisations that people were willing to help more. I was able to help but there was still a lot more to do to make this city safe and corruption free. I was the face of my organisations whiles they were the silent partners or silent investors, so that nobody could hurt them. So, they were less afraid to help.
