1: Return Home

Arriving at the international airport of A.J City, Nancy Marlon, a 24-year-old light-skinned woman, frowned because she didn't understand why her parents had asked her to return home.

She had studied in City X. After she graduated with a business administration degree, her father told her, "Nancy, I want you to return home and not base in City X."

Nancy frowned during the phone call with her father. She knew that her father was a politician in AJ City, and she couldn't go against his orders. She arrived at the airport at exactly 2 p.m., and her father's men already waited 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 popular President Nolan Alejandro and his family ruled the city. They named the city after the Alejandro family. They had ruled for years, and they silenced any opposition party that tried to oppose them.

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.

"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 saw her parents standing at the mansion frontage. Her mother wore a red gown, and her father stood in his black suit. The maids also stood behind her parents in their blue maid uniforms.

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

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

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

"Thanks, Dad," Nancy replied as she hugged her father, and the maids said, "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. White paint still covered the walls, and beautiful flower vases still decorated it.

Nancy walked to a black couch in the living room. The living room has seven black couches.

"Home, sweet home," she whispered as she sat down on one of the black couches.

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

"Mom, what is the good news?" Nancy asked. She felt curious to know the reason behind her mother's bright smile. Her mother is a pure epitome of beauty. At 51 years, it didn't reflect on her mother's face at all. Her mother still looks under forty.

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 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's 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. She looked so adorable now.

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

"Mom, I need to go upstairs now and freshen up. Then I will come 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 wait.

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

She saw that her room hadn't changed. Pink paint still covered the walls, and beautiful flower vases still decorated it.

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

Nancy saw two men in black suits step down from the car at the back. They walked to the car at the front and pulled the car door open.

She saw a tall man in a black suit and red undershirt step down from the car. She met his handsome dark gaze, but she swiftly stared away from him and shut her room curtains.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Increasing the television volume, Nancy heard the reporter state, "Good evening, citizens of A.J City, I bring to you 4 p.m. news. President Nolan Alejandro has just won the recently ended election today and scored over 50 million votes."

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

Nancy knew that her father also works as a politician under the AJ Political Party group, and she sighed as she decided not to worry about politics.

She didn't like the luxury lifestyle that her family lives. 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 followed her about every minute and second since her return to the city.

She finished creaming her body and stood up from the bed to search for a cloth to wear.

She walked into her closet and took out a short brown gown to wear. The brown gown hugs tightly to her body and brings out her shape.

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