Chapter 1 - Return Home

Arriving in A.J City, Nancy Marlon frowned, as she didn't understand why her parents had asked her to return home.

She was studying in City X, and after graduating with a degree in business administration, her father had clearly told her, “Nancy, I want you to return home and not base yourself in City X.”

Nancy frowned during the phone call with her father. She knew that her father was a politician in A.J City. She couldn't go against his orders. So, she arrived at the airport at exactly 2 p.m., and her father's men were already there, waiting to escort her home.

“Welcome home, Nancy,” her elder adopted brother, Matthew Marlon, smiled at her, but Nancy frowned as she walked with him to the car.

She sat in the back seat of the car and knew that the city was ruled by the popular President Nolan Alejandro and his family. The city was named after the Alejandro family. They had been ruling for years. Any opposition party that tried to oppose them was immediately silenced.

Nancy watched the road as Matthew started the car engine and drove out of the airport. Her eyes fell on the gigantic billboard displaying the city president's photos.

Nancy frowned, and she could see Matthew smiling at her through the rearview mirror.

She ignored his smile, as she continued to wonder why her parents had insisted that she must return home.

Arriving home, the security men at her father's mansion gate pulled the huge black gate open for them. Nancy watched as Matthew drove his black exotic SUV into the premises and parked.

She could see her parents standing at the mansion frontage. Her mother was wearing a red gown, and her father stood in his black suit, as the maids also stood behind her parents in their blue maid uniforms.

Nancy stepped down from the car and walked up to the mansion frontage to meet her parents. She wore a red top and black trousers with black high-heeled shoes.

She approached the mansion frontage, and her mother wholeheartedly welcomed her, “Welcome home, my beautiful daughter.”

“Good afternoon, Mom and Dad,” Nancy smiled as she hugged her mother. Her father then said to her, “Welcome home, Nancy. Good to have you at home with us.”

“Thanks, Dad,” Nancy replied as she walked to hug her father, and the maids welcomed her, “Welcome home, Nancy.”

“Thank you all,” Nancy smiled at the maids, and her mother said, “Let us all go inside.”

“Okay, Mom,” Nancy replied and walked into the living room with her mother.

She saw that their living room hadn't changed; it was still painted white and had beautiful flower vases around.

Nancy walked up to a black couch in the living room, as the living room had seven black couches.

“Home, sweet home,” she whispered as she sat down on one of the black couches behind her. She saw her mother standing there in the center of the living room and smiling at her.

“Mom, what's the good news? You look so excited to see me,” Nancy asked, as she became curious to know the reason behind her mother's bright smile. Her mother was a pure epitome of beauty, cute, and at the age of 51, it didn't reflect on her face at all. Her mother still looked under forty.

Mrs. Olivia Marlon smiled and sat down on the black couch. She replied, “Why wouldn't I be excited to see you, Nancy? You have changed, and you look so beautiful now compared to when you left the city five years ago.”

''Thanks, Mom, but I'm still the same,'' Nancy replied and smiled at her mother. She knew that her mother was right; she had changed compared to when she left the city five years ago to further her studies abroad. Her breasts had grown bigger, her hips had grown wider, and she was a sexy, charming young lady to behold.

Nancy knew how most people who passed beside her along the way would pause and stare back at her to be sure of what they saw, as she looked so adorable now.

Also, she knew that her mother loved calling her an angel, and that was because she had a pointed nose, blue sparkling eyes, and her long golden hair was the most attractive of her features.

“Mom, I need to go upstairs now and freshen up. Then I will come back downstairs to join you and Dad for dinner,” Nancy said as she stood up from the couch.

“Okay, my dear,” Mrs. Olivia Marlon replied as she couldn't stop admiring her daughter. She thought to tell Nancy about the arranged marriage with the president's son, but she decided to wait.

Nancy smiled and walked upstairs to her bedroom. Approaching her bedroom door, she pushed it open and walked into her room.

Nancy could see that her room hadn't changed; it was still painted pink and had beautiful flower vases around.

She walked up to her room window and pull the curtains open to stare out at her surroundings. She saw some black cars had arrived, as three black cars drove into her father's mansion and parked.

Nancy saw some men in black suits step down from the car at the back, and they walked up to the car at the front and pulled the car door open.

Nancy saw a man in a black suit and inner red shirt step down from the car, and she met his handsome gaze, but she immediately stared away from him and shut her room curtains closed.

She walked back to her bathroom to strip off her clothes and bathe, as she decided to take a bath and later go back downstairs to join her parents for dinner.

She stripped off her red top and black trousers, and she walked into her bathroom to shower.

A few minutes later, Nancy stepped out of her bathroom and was wrapped in a long white towel. She walked up to her bed to sit down and cream her body.

She really missed her family when she was in City X, and she decided to search for a new job in A.J City, since she was already at home and wouldn't be going back to City X anytime soon.

Nancy sat on her bed and pulled her bed drawer open. She took out her body lotion to cream her body.

She then picked up her television remote and switched it on, and she saw the videos of their president being displayed again on her television screen.

Increasing the television volume, Nancy heard the reporter state, “Good evening, citizens of A.J City. I bring you the 4 p.m. news: President Nolan Alejandro has won the recently ended presidential election, scoring the highest votes.”

Nancy frowned as she disliked the Alejandro family. She switched off her television and knew that the Alejandro family had been ruling them for a long time and didn't want another family to rule.

Nancy knew that her father was also a politician and working under the A.J Political party group, and she sighed as she decided not to worry about politics.

She didn't like the luxury lifestyle that her family lived, as she wanted a simple life for herself, her husband, and their sweet kids in the future. 

She didn't like the security men who had been following her about every minute and second since her return to the city.

Nancy finished creaming her body and stood up from the bed to search for a cloth that she would wear.

She walked into her closet and took out a short brown gown that she would wear. The brown gown hugged tightly to her body and brought out her hips and shape.

Nancy smiled and walked back to her room mirror, holding her white long towel in her right hand to dry her wet long golden hair and comb it to cascade behind her back.

She is a politician's daughter, and she was raised to look cute always. She saw that the time was past 5 p.m. If only she knew the reason her parents had asked her to return home, then she wouldn't be there.
