Chapter 1

Arriving in AJ Country, Nancy Marlon, a 24-year-old woman, frowned as she didn't understand why her parents had asked her to return home.

She was studying in Country X and had graduated as a business administrator. Her father told her, "Nancy, I want you to return home and not stay in Country X."

Nancy frowned during the phone call with her father. She knew that her father was a politician in AJ Country, and 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, named 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 country was ruled by the popular President Nolan Alejandro and his family. The country was named after the Alejandro family. They had been ruling for years, and any opposition party that tried to oppose them was immediately silenced.

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

"Hmm..." Nancy hummed, and she could see Matthew smiling at her through the rearview mirror of the car.

She ignored smiling at him 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, with the maids also standing 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 was wearing a red top and black trousers with her black high-heeled shoes.

Nancy finally approached the mansion frontage, and her mother wholeheartedly welcomed her, "Welcome home, my beautiful angel."

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

"Thanks, Dad," Nancy replied as she was still hugging her mother, and the maids said to 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.

Nancy could see that their living room hadn't changed, as 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.

She saw her mother standing there in the center of the living room and smiling at her sweetly.

"Mom, what is the good news about? 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, and at her age of 51 years, it didn't reflect on her mother's face at all. Her mother still looked under forty years old.

Mrs. Olivia smiled and sat down on the black couch behind her. She replied, "Why won't I be excited to see you, Nancy? You have changed, and you look so beautiful now compared to when you left the country five years ago."

"Thanks, Mom, but I'm still the same," Nancy replied and smiled sweetly at her mother. She knew that her mother was right, as she had changed compared to when she left the country 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 by 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, sparkling blue eyes, and her long blonde hair on her head, which 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 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 let all that 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.

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

Nancy saw two 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

She 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 AJ Country. I bring to you the 4 p.m. news as President Nolan Alejandro has just won the recently ended election today, scoring the highest votes."

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

Nancy knew that her father was also a politician 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.

Nancy 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 clothes to wear.

She walked into her closet and took out a short brown gown that she would wear. The brown gown actually hugged tightly to her body and brought out her 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 to comb it to cascade behind her back.

She saw the time was past 5 p.m. If only she knew the reason her parents wanted her back, she wouldn't be at home.
