She's the one.

"Mom..." Charles finally approached his mother, and he hugged 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 as he hugged her to her shoulder and walked with her towards the dining room.

He replied, "She's the one, mom, and she's very pretty too."

"Hmm," First Lady Kira Alejandro smiled as she kept silent and watched Charles pull a dinner chair outside for her to sit down first. And she sat down elegantly on the first chair, continuing to watch her handsome son. While Charles sat on the next chair that was beside her right on the dining table.

He replied, "Mom, she's the one and she's very cute. Where did you see her photo from? As I really do like her."

"Mm," First Lady Kira Alejandro smiled again, as she watched the maids step out of the kitchen, and they walked up to the dining table to serve her dinner, alongside Charles' dinner too on the long golden dining table.

They served the delicious meals as President Nolan Alejandro wasn't around, and in a presidential meeting too.

First Lady Kira smiled and finally replied to Charles, "Your father already made it known to some of his cabinet members that he was looking for a bride for you. And to know which among his members had any pretty daughters that you would like and choose from."

"Hmm, thanks, mom, I really do like Nancy, but..." Charles' words trailed off as he remembered how Nancy had run away from him.

His mother asked him, "But what, Charles?"

First Lady Kira frowned as she watched her only son acting nervously, and she waited for the maids to finish serving out the dinners first and leave them before she asked again, "Charles.. Do you want us to cancel the wedding? As the wedding is in two days' time? And you cannot embarrass your father and me in public, and in front of all our prominent guests."

"I know, mom, but the truth is that Nancy ran away from me when I went to welcome her home for her return to the city and in her family house too." Charles shook his head in embarrassment as he covered his face with his both palms, remembering how Nancy had run away from him. But with the way her hips had moved and swayed seductively to his view.

Charles smiled, and didn't know that his mother was still staring at him angrily, as she wasn't finding his revelation funny at all.

She snapped, "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, and the wedding is in the next two days?"

"No, mother.. You cannot call off the wedding," Charles refuted, and his mother's jaw dropped as she stared at her only son sadly, realizing that he had fallen in love with a silly lady.

"Don't tell me that you still want to go ahead and marry that lady 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, and now, I cannot change my choice again. As I can understand Nancy's fears... She's getting married to the president's son, so she has to be scared, mom," Charles said, as he smiled sadly, but his mother shook her head and replied, "No, Charles... She's supposed to be happy with you, and glad that you've chosen her to become your wife. As any other lady out there would've been happy and very excited that you've chosen her. How dare Nancy run away from you, and you took it lightly with her family? Where's my phone? As I need to get her arrested and deal with her this minute, before throwing her behind bars too."

"No, mother!" Charles snapped, startling his mother, and he said, "You cannot do that. If I don't marry Nancy, then know that I won't marry any other lady too."

"What?" Mrs. Kira Alejandro's jaw dropped again as she turned speechless and stared at her only son in shock.

She shook her head and said, "No, Charles. This is not happening... I will find another bride for you to marry, okay? And that's not a problem, as there are many other pretty ladies out there, and also more suitable than Nancy."

"No, mother.. I want Nancy, I really do want Nancy, Mom.. I want to feel her love, her warmth, and I believe that with time she will love me too."

"Just give Nancy some time, Mom, and know that I'm truly in love now," Charles smiled, surprising his mother more, whose jaw was left agape. And she gulped as Charles said, "Let's have our dinners, mom, before it finally gets cold."

"Okay, son." First Lady Kira subtly blamed herself in her heart for choosing Nancy's photo first. As she has seen a lot of pretty young women's photos, since every family wanted their daughter to be married to her only son. Even though they ridiculed and wrote nonsense about her family online. It still didn't deter them from sending millions of photos to her personal assistant.

And she had personally selected Nancy's photo first, the moment her eyes fell on the pretty lady's photos, with the other two young women's photos. As she knew that Charles wouldn't have the time to be going through all the photos to choose a bride.... Now she was subtly blaming herself, and wishing in her heart that she has never picked Nancy's photo. As the silly young lady dares and rejected her only son, the most handsome and well-to-do young man in their city. "If it wasn't that Charles loves women, and he's rumored to be a male escort. Then what would have given the young lady the right to have rejected my only son, and even run away from him. Mmm," First Lady Kira sighed heavily as she thought in her mind, and Charles finally asked her, "Mom, is everything alright?"

"Yes, Charles," First Lady Kira replied, and she thought to inform her personal assistant to place a monitor team on Nancy. As Nancy wouldn't just run away from Charles like that, and not underneath her watch.

"I really need to do a personal background check on Nancy now, to know if she already has a secret lover somewhere, as to the reason she rejected Charles, Hmm," First Lady Kira thought it in her mind, and sighed again. But Charles didn't ask her what's wrong? As they continued eating their dinners silently in the dining hall.

After the dinner session ended, Charles stood up first from the dining chair and set to retire back upstairs to his bedroom. And he said to his mother, "Good night, mom."

"Yeah, good night, Charles," First Lady Kira Alejandro replied, as Charles leaned closer to her and pecked her on her right cheek that was beside him, and he finally walked away towards the living room stairs, and climbed on it to go back upstairs to his bedroom.

Charles decided to use the stairs to exercise his mind and he kept on thinking about Nancy, and why she had run away from him?

He stepped into his sitting room first, and walked up to his bedroom. As he stepped into his bedroom and picked up Nancy's photo that he had kept on the headboard.

He kissed her photo on her pink lips directly that he admires the most, and he said, "So pink and lovely. I cannot wait to have you as my wife, and to be kissing you every time on this beautiful pink lips of yours every day."

Charles smiled and kissed Nancy's photo once again, as his whole body really wants her.

He asked himself, "But why did she run away from me? Am I ugly now?"

Charles frowned and walked up to his bedroom mirror to examine his face, as he has full short black hair on his head, and his front hair and short beards were neatly shaped, as he's a tall, handsome black man.

He murmured, "Maybe she doesn't like guys with beards, Hmm.. But she's so beautiful and I cannot reject her now.. Maybe she has a boyfriend? As I'm so sure that she must have one, Hmm...."

Charles frowned as he thought about Nancy having a boyfriend, and her boyfriend being the main reason she had run away from him. And he cussed out, "Nonsense!... Is her boyfriend finer than me? I cannot reject her now, and my mother shouldn't dare to hurt her too. What am I even ranting about?"

Charles walked up to his bed again and picked up his telephone, and he placed a call across to Stevo Brights, who was his head security man and very trusted in managing his security affairs for him.

Charles needed Stevo to monitor whatever activities that Nancy was into, her phone calls, her text messages, and to know if she already has a boyfriend too, that she's probably calling...

Charles said coldly, "Hello, Stevo."

Stevo froze and replied, "Hello, boss, good evening." Stevo was in the security house inside the Villa. And Charles said, "I want you to hire some trained personnel in the field of hacking, and to monitor and give me a 24-hour report of my chosen bride. I will forward her details to you now shortly. You should find out what she does, who she calls, and speaks with daily. Is that understood?"

"Yes, boss."

"Anything else that you need me to do for you, boss?" Stevo asked.

"No, that's all," Charles replied, and the phone call finally ended.

Charles sighed and stared back at Nancy's photo that he was still holding in his right hand. And he said, "I cannot wait to have you as my bride, and in just two days' time. You will be on my bed, and moaning sweetly to my deep thrust. Damn it! I just hope that she doesn't kill me or escape before then."
