Chapter 5 — She's the one.

"Mom..." Charles finally approached his mother, and he hugged her while she smiled at him and asked, "Charles... You haven't answered my question yet. I was waiting for you to return home first so that we could have our dinners 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, "Mom, 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 and continued to watch her handsome son. While Charles sat on the next chair that was beside her right on the dining table,.

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

"Mm," First Lady Kira Alejandro smiled 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 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 whom 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 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,? 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 now 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 both palms, remembering how Nancy had run away from him. But with the way her hips had moved and swayed seductively to his views,.

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 sparked, "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 tomorrow?."

"No mother.. You cannot call off the wedding," Charles refuted, and his mother's jaw dropped as she stared at her only son, sadly, who has 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 my 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. As any other lady out there, She'd be happy and very excited that you've chosen her to become your wife. She will even shower you with love and warmth. How dare Nancy run away from you, and you took it lightly with her family?. Where's my phone? I need to get her arrested and deal with her this minute before throwing her behind bars too."

"No mother!" Charles sparked, 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 either."

"What?" Mrs. Kira Alejandro's jaws 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 they are also more yellow than Nancy."

"No, mother. I want Nancy. I really do want Nancy, Mom. I want to feel her love and 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 even more, whose jaw was left ajap. 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 photos, 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 out Nancy's photo first, the moment her eyes fell on the pretty lady photo, with the other two young women's photos. She knew that Charles wouldn't have the time to go through all the photos to choose a bride. Now she was subtly blaming herself and wishing in her heart that she had never picked Nancy's photo. The silly young lady dares and rejects her only son. The most handsome and well-to-do young man in their city "If it weren't that Charles loves women, and he's rumored to be a male prostitute, Then what would have given the young lady the right to have rejected my only son and even run away from him? Hmm" First lady Kira sighed heavily as she thought in her mind, and Charles asked her, "Mom, Is everything alright?"

"Yes, Charles," First Lady Kira replied, and her thoughts to informed her personal assistant to place a monitoring team on Nancy. Nancy wouldn't just run away from Charles like that, and not underneath her watch. 

'No, way! I really need to do a personal background check on Nancy to know if she has a secret lover somewhere, as to the reason she rejected Charles.' First lady Kira thought it through 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 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, he then finally walked away towards the living room stairs and climbed on them to go back 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?.

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

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

Charles smiled and kissed Nancy once more, as his whole body wanted 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.

Charles 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," 

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

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

Charles needed Stevo to monitor whatever activities Nancy was into. Her phonecalls, 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, monitor, and give me a 24-hour report of my chosen bride. I will forward her details to you shortly. You should find out what she does, who she calls, and who she 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, which 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, moaning sweetly at my deep thrust. Damn it! I just hope that she doesn't kill me or escape before then."
