"Mom..." Charles finally approached his mother, hugging her while she smiled at him and said, "Charles, you haven't answered my question yet. I was waiting for you to return home first so that we can have our dinner together as a family."
"Good evening, Mom," Charles greeted his mother, hugging her and walking with her towards the dining room. He replied, "She's the one, Mom. She's very pretty too." "Hmm," First Lady Kira Alejandro smiled, watching as Charles pulled a dinner chair out for her to sit down first. She sat down elegantly, continuing to watch her handsome son as he took the chair next to her at the dining table. He replied, "Mom, she's the one and she's very cute. Where did you see her photo? I really do like her." "Mm," First Lady Kira Alejandro smiled, watching as the maids stepped out of the kitchen and walked up to the dining table to serve dinner. They served the delicious meals while President Nolan Alejandro was away at a presidential meeting. First Lady Kira smiled and finally replied to Charles, "Your father made it known to some of his cabinet members that he was looking for a bride for you. He wanted to know if any of them had pretty daughters you might like." "Thanks, Mom. I really do like Nancy, but..." Charles trailed off, remembering how Nancy had run away from him. His mother asked, "But what, Charles?" First Lady Kira frowned as she watched her only son acting nervously. She waited for the maids to finish serving dinner and leave before she asked again, "Charles, do you want us to cancel the wedding? It's in two days, and you cannot embarrass your father and me in public, in front of all our prominent guests." "I know, Mom, but Nancy ran away from me when I went to welcome her home. It's embarrassing," Charles confessed, covering his face with his hands at the memory. Despite the situation, he couldn't help but smile as he recalled the seductive sway of Nancy's hips as she ran. His mother, however, did not find his revelation amusing. "What? Charles, how dare she run away from you? We need to cancel the wedding right now. Didn't her parents inform her that she was going to marry you? The wedding is tomorrow." "No, Mother, you cannot call off the wedding," Charles refuted, leaving his mother aghast. "Don't tell me that you still want to go ahead and marry a woman who doesn't love you, Charles. I cannot allow that to happen," First Lady Kira added. "I know, Mother, but you and father have always wanted me to marry. Now, I cannot change my choice. I understand Nancy's fears. She's marrying the president's son, she has to be scared," Charles reasoned, smiling sadly. His mother shook her head in disagreement, "No, Charles. She's supposed to be happy with you and glad that you've chosen her. Any other woman out there would have been thrilled to be chosen by you. How dare Nancy run away from you? Where's my phone? I need to have her arrested and dealt with immediately." "No, Mother!" Charles interjected, startling his mother. "You cannot do that. If I don't marry Nancy, then I won't marry anyone else." "What?" Mrs. Kira Alejandro was speechless, staring at her son in shock. "No, Charles. This is not happening. I will find another bride for you. There are many other pretty women out there, even more attractive than Nancy." "No, Mother. I want Nancy. I want to feel her love and warmth. I believe that with time, she will love me too," Charles insisted. "Just give Nancy some time, Mom. I'm truly in love and she will fall for me." His mother's jaw dropped at his declaration. "Let's have our dinner, Mom, before it gets cold," Charles suggested. "Okay, son," First Lady Kira agreed, silently blaming herself for choosing Nancy's photo first. She had seen plenty of photos of beautiful young women, all of whom would be thrilled to marry her son. Yet, she had been drawn to Nancy's photo and now regretted her choice. "If it wasn't for Charles' reputation as a womanizer, what would have given that girl the right to reject my son, let alone run away from him?" she wondered. Charles finally broke her train of thought, "Mom, is everything alright?" "Yes, Charles," First Lady Kira replied, deciding to have her personal assistant place a surveillance team on Nancy. She wanted a thorough background check on Nancy. There had to be a reason why she had rejected Charles. After dinner, Charles was the first to leave the table. "Good night, Mom," he said, pecking his mother on the cheek before heading upstairs to his room. Charles entered his bedroom, picked up Nancy's photo from the headboard, and kissed it. "So pink and lovely. I can't wait to have you as my wife, to be kissing these beautiful pink lips of yours every day," he said to the picture, smiling. However, his smile soon turned into a frown as he wondered why she had run away from him. "Maybe she has a boyfriend?" he thought. Charles decided to hire a professional to monitor Nancy's activities. He dialed Stevo Bright, his head security man. "Hello Stevo," he said, "I want you to hire someone to monitor my bride-to-be. I need a 24/7 report of her activities." "Anything else, boss?" Stevo asked. "No, that's all," Charles replied, ending the call. Charles sighed, looking at Nancy's photo. "I can't wait to have you as my bride in just two days. You'll be in my bed, moaning sweetly to my deeper thrust. Damn! I just hope she doesn't kill me before then."Charles stood up from his bed, after placing Nancy's photo on the headboard, and went into his bathroom to bathe. Afterward, he stepped out, put on his night robe, and walked to his study room to keep himself busy.Sleep was far from his eyes. He knew he would be marrying soon, but he still needed to check his company records as he was running a multimillion-dollar company in their state.Charles took his time and did his own personal cross-checking of his company records and growth with his computer.Meanwhile, his mother, First Lady Kira Alejandro, had contacted her assistant, Miller Robert, via phone call."Hello, Miller.""Good evening, Your Excellency," Miller responded."I want you to find out what this lady is up to for me. Keep track of all her movements and send some security men to follow her too.""Okay, Your Excellency," Miller responded."Is there anything else you need me to do?" Miller asked."No, that's all. And the job starts now," First Lady Kira replied."Okay, Your
Senator Logan blamed himself for organizing the business meeting in his home. He planned to rebuild a new welcoming area to receive his guests and divert their attention away from his wife and daughter. He had seen the men lusting after his daughter, and they also lusted after his beautiful wife.Nancy picked up her teacup and drank from it. After breakfast with her parents ended, she finally spoke to them. "Dad, mom, I want to go out and shop for the things I need, as you know that I just returned home and some of my things that I use in my room have run out.""Okay, Nancy, will you be using your car or have Matthew accompany you to the shopping mall? As you know, the wedding is tomorrow and some guests already have their eyes on you. I cannot take the risk of them kidnapping you before the wedding," her father said to her."But dad, they don't know me. I mean, I am not a celebrity and not everyone knows that I will be getting married to Charles tomorrow," Nancy replied. She could see
"What? How am I under arrest? Isn't it my name and photo that you're seeing on my international passport?" Nancy struggled to break her hand away from the tight grip of the security man holding her soft left hand."You cannot delay my flight, let me go!" Nancy screamed out, as she desperately wanted to get away from the security man. She knew that the airplane would soon take off in 30 minutes, yet the tough-looking security man seized her hands."I'm only doing my job, madam. Or aren't you the president's son's chosen bride-to-be?" The security man questioned her, and Nancy stared at him in shock. She hadn't known that Charles still had his eyes on her to monitor her activities.The security man immediately took out his phone to call his boss to inform him that he had finally caught Nancy Marlon. They had received a phone call earlier in the morning not to allow anyone named Nancy Marlon to leave the airport.Although Nancy had indeed concealed her looks—with her identity card showing
Nancy met Charles' sharp, deep black eyes. With her chest rising and falling heavily, she really wanted to move away from him, but Charles held her close."I cannot let you go," he said, feeling as though he was beginning to lose himself because of her.Nancy took some steps backward and Charles approached her again, still staring intently into her face. She was halted by the glass wall behind her and swiftly turned to move away, but Charles cut her off. He inhaled her sweet blossom scent, tempted to kiss her pink lips, as his black eyes wandered to them again."Why don't you want me?" Charles asked. Standing very close to Nancy, he waited for her response. However, she couldn’t respond. The words got stuck in her throat as she inhaled Charles's cologne. It penetrated and forced its way into her nostrils, causing her to splutter, "I . . . I . . .""I don't love you," Nancy finally managed to say, speaking with trembling lips. Charles replied, "But I do... Let's get married. I promise t
Charles entered the elevator and didn't say a word to Nancy as he went downstairs to the ground floor. His mother rushed up to meet him as soon as he stepped out of the elevator."Charles, we need to cancel the wedding," his mother said to him, wearing a long blue native gown. She was a traditional woman who didn't want a young lady to ruin her only son's life."No, Mom, I cannot let Nancy go..." Charles replied, pausing to meet his mother's gaze."You have to, Charles. I made a terrible mistake by choosing Nancy's photo. There are still many other young ladies out there who truly want you. Just let her go, Charles...""Okay, Mom, I will, but after our wedding night," Charles replied, smiling. His mother stood speechless as she watched him walk out of the mansion.Charles finally exited the mansion door. He had an important business meeting to attend. If not for Nancy's plot to escape, he wouldn't be at home either. He got into his car and left.First Lady Kira remembered that Nancy wa
Nancy is still sleeping on the brown couch when Charles walked into the top floor, and her sweet blossom scent fanned his nostrils. His eyes traveled to search for her in the sitting room and saw her sleeping on his executive brown couch."There she is," Charles muttered to himself, as he had expected his maids to show Nancy to her guestroom.He walked up to meet her and stared at her sleeping figure for a while.Nancy was so engrossed in her sleep that she didn't even know that Charles had arrived. She was dreaming about him and her. In her dream, he was very romantic to her, smiling at her, and she couldn't help but fall in love with him too. He hugged her in her dream, and she blushed in reality, even hugging him in her dream."I love you, Nancy," Charles told Nancy in her dream. She stared at his dark handsome face very close to her view and whispered some words to him too, "I love you more."Charles leaned over to kiss Nancy on her lips, as she was eager to kiss him too. She conti
Charles was all set for his wedding, and he went downstairs to inform his parents. He saw his parents were already ready, as his father wore a brown long native garment for a high-profile occasion, while his mother was also dressed in her traditional white attire."Charles, Where's your bride?" First lady Kira asked Charles first, as she met his smiling gaze on her. She wanted to tell Charles to have a rethink on the wedding, but just then, they saw the elevator door ding open, and Nancy stepped out into the living room looking breathtakingly beautiful.The white long wedding gown swept the floor as Nancy walked up to meet the president and his family. She was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands, and Charles' eyes didn't shift away from Nancy as he continued to admire her as she approached him.Nancy looked like an angel, and she finally walked up to meet them.She stopped and greeted Charles and his parents in a lowered voice, "Good morning, sir, good morning ma."She felt all t
"Marry me for a year?" Charles proposed again, but Nancy stared away from him, as she was so uncomfortable due to his closeness to her.She wanted to look away from Charles, as he was standing so close in front of her, but just then, Charles immediately sealed his lips on hers and kissed her hungrily.Charles couldn't hold back anymore and deepened the kiss, kissing Nancy sweetly.After kissing Nancy for a while and finally parting their lips, Nancy was breathing heavily and looked sad, as Charles dared to steal her first kiss.She knew that Charles really wanted to sleep with her, as it was evidently written on his face, and he was breathing heavily too.Charles licked his lips and saw that Nancy looked sad. He still wanted to kiss her again, as he wasn't satisfied with their first kiss. He watched Nancy use the back of her right hand to wipe off her lips.Charles finally apologized to Nancy, "I'm sorry, please. I couldn't help but kiss you. Fine if you don't want to marry me. I can l
