Chapter 3

last update Last Updated: 2023-10-16 00:16:07

Nancy was through in her bedroom drying her wet long blonde hair and combing it to cascade behind her back. 

She walked out of her room and went downstairs to the living room to have her dinner with her parents.

She could feel her stomach growling so loud in hunger, so she held on to the iron railing to support herself. As she went downstairs, so she wouldn't miss her steps as she alighted the stairs.

Nancy saw some guests had arrived in her parents' home, and that made her frown, as she hated the way that her father's mansion was built.

The living room was connected to the dining room, and it was easy for guests to spy on her family affairs, while she hated to be monitored by anyone, as she loved to have her privacy too.

Nancy saw the tall handsome black man that exuded authority, as he stood in their living room and watched her as she alighted the stairs.

She felt so uncomfortable under his watchful gaze, as with the way his black eyes kept staring at her, she felt like he was already stripping her náked, with that look of desire in his eyes.

Nancy shifted her gaze away from the black man, as she looked at her parents and saw them standing nervously in the living room.

She walked up to meet her mother and asked, "Mom... Is dinner not ready yet?"

Mrs. Olivia Marlon was nervous, as she hadn't expected Charles to personally visit her home. She nervously responded to Nancy, "Nancy, my dear, come and meet your groom."

"My what?" Nancy gasped, and she swiftly turned to face Charles. She met his handsome gaze on her, as his black eyes didn't avert away from her for one minute. He stood regal in the living room and watched her too.

Nancy snapped out of her shock, and she asked her mother, "Mom... When did I get married to him?"

"You're not yet married to him, Nancy. Here with us is Charles Alejandro, Mr. President Nolan Alejandro's only child, and the wedding is in two days' time," her father announced.

"Two days!!" Nancy gasped, as she almost fainted.

"Calm down, Nancy," Charles interjected, and Nancy shivered at his deep male masculine voice that spoke to her.

Nancy couldn't believe that she was getting married to Charles, and their wedding was in two days' time. 

She gathered her courage, and she said to him with her lips trembling, "I cannot... marry you, sir..."

"Nancy!!" Her father screamed at her to hush her up, as Charles Alejandro is the most feared young man in the country.

Senator Logan warned, "Nancy! You have no right to object to this marriage. Charles Alejandro here has seen many pretty young women's photos, before he chose you. So you should be grateful to become the country's future first lady."

"No, father! I cannot accept this marriage, I cannot marry him!" Nancy immediately moved backward, as she quickly bolted away to the stairs and dashed upstairs to her bedroom, with her hips bouncing and swaying with her running upstairs.

Nancy went to the top floor, got into her room, and shut her door.

"Nancy! Come back here!" Her father called, but Nancy refused to answer, as she didn't want to marry Charles. She locked her room door and went to her bed crying.

"Hmm, let me go upstairs and call Nancy back," Mrs. Olivia Marlon offered, but her husband quickly stopped her, "That won't be necessary."

Senator Logan stared at Charles and apologized, "We're truly sorry, Your Excellency. We haven't informed Nancy about the arranged marriage with you."

"Hmm," Charles stood speechless in the living room, staring upstairs to the second floor. He was hoping that his chosen bride would peek out her beautiful head and stare down at him. With the way her hips had swayed seductively to his views, Charles had felt his muscles harden for him to claim her.

Charles doubted he would be able to tame himself if he was left alone with Nancy, as she looked so beautiful in real life, more than her photograph that was with him.

Charles stared back at Nancy's parents, and he met her mother's nervous gaze on him, as she also resembled Nancy.

Mrs. Olivia smiled nervously and said to Charles, "Don't worry, Your Excellency, I will go upstairs now and speak to my daughter. And the wedding will still hold."

"Hmm, that's alright. I will be looking forward to the wedding this weekend as I came here to welcome my bride on her return to the country. But it's so obvious that she doesn't want to see me. Please, give these flowers to Nancy, and let her know that I truly love her, and I want to marry her," Charles said, as he handed over the bouquet of rose petals that he was holding to Mrs. Olivia.

Mrs. Olivia smiled and collected the flowers bouquet and stood aside, while her husband apologized again, "We are sincerely sorry, Your Excellency. Please forgive our daughter for her rude behaviour towards you."

"That's alright. I actually understand Nancy's fears, but that's not a problem with me. As I came here to welcome her on her return to the capital. Do send my greetings to Nancy and let her know that I want her. I have to be on my way now. Goodbye, Senator Logan," Charles said.

"Yes, goodbye, Your Excellency," Senator Logan replied and escorted Charles out the mansion. 

Charles walked out of their living room and went outside to his black car.

The stationed security men pulled and shut the car door closed as soon as Charles entered into his Jeep, and the three cars finally drove out of Senator Logan Marlon's residence.

***

Nancy stood at her room window upstairs, staring down at the garage. She saw Charles walk out of her family home and get into his car before the three cars drove outside.

Nancy couldn't believe that her parents really wanted her to marry Charles Alejandro, who was the president's son, by force. 

She hadn't met Charles before, but she had heard of him, with the way the netizen users usually ridiculed and abused his family online for refusing to exit the ruling seat.

Nancy got to hear about Charles' affairs with many young women in their state, as he was rumoured to be a playboy, and not the kind of man that she wanted to marry as her husband.

The sound of her room door pushed open jolted her back to reality. She stared away from her window and to her parents who angrily walked into her room to see her.

"Nancy!! What was the meaning of that silly drama that you just displayed over there in meeting with Charles Alejandro today? Don't you know that plenty of young women would've jumped at the offer with joy, and even accepted to marry Charles immediately?" her father questioned her angrily, as he stood beside her room door and glared at her, while her mother stood in silence holding the bouquet of rose flowers that Nancy had seen before with Charles.

"Answer me, Nancy??" Her father yelled at her.

"Dad, that's not the kind of man that I want. I don't love him, and that's the truth," Nancy said, as she broke out into sobs. Charles Alejandro isn't the kind of man that she wanted to marry.

Nancy wanted a good man that will love only her, and not a cheat like Charles who won't value her in becoming his wife either.

She was looking for the right excuse to make her parents understand that she cannot marry a man like Charles, nor become his wife either.

"Love?? What do you know about love, Nancy? You will get to love Charles with time. And after you both become married as husband and wife. That was how your mother and I got married, and up till date, we are still a couple. What about if you sit here waiting for the man that you will love first... and he doesn't love you too, while you end up loving him alone?"

"Well, I cannot reject the Alejandro family proposal to us, even though I know that you will object to it. They're the ones ruling the country, and they will feel extremely insulted with you rejecting their only son's proposal to you! He chose you, Nancy Marlon, among all the other pretty young women's photos that he must have seen. So you will have to marry Charles whether you like him or not."

"No, father! I cannot marry Charles!" Nancy screamed, as she burst out crying and couldn't believe that her father really wanted her to marry Charles by force.

Her father turned to leave her room, and he paused at her room door and told her mother, "Talk to your daughter, and get her prepared on everything she will be needing to become Charles' wife. This Saturday, she will be going to the presidential villa to live with Charles whether she likes him or not."

Believe me."Charles cupped Nancy's face with both palms, and it seemed to Nancy and Charles that they had totally forgotten that Nancy's parents were still in the living room watching them too."I'm sorry," Charles apologized to Nancy again, and he kissed her on the lips, while Senator Logan and his wife gasped in surprise, looking at each other unbelievably.Senator Logan couldn't believe that Nancy was truly pregnant with Charles' child.

    "Open the gate, I'm a delivery man sent here to deliver this package to Nancy Marlon. Is she inside?" Charles asked the two security men that stood outside the huge black gate and stared at him suspiciously. One of the two security men replied, "Bring the package here, and we will examine it and have it delivered to Lady Nancy.""No, as I'm to deliver it to Nancy directly, just tell her that her Sunday is here to see her," Charles said with a serious look on his face. However, the two stubborn security men refused to move as they insisted on seeing the package first.Charles was angry that the two security men were wasting his time, but he knew they were only doing their jobs.

    Nancy was finished mopping the seventh floor when CEO Jerry stepped out of the elevator and walked into the hallway to meet her."Well, well, well, Sophia, I can see that you really choose to suffer instead of agreeing to my terms and becoming my woman," CEO Jerry looked at Nancy angrily as she wiped her lips and stared up at his face."I already told you that we cannot date," Nancy replied, wiping her lips again, feeling the urge to spit out."I don't love you or want to be in any dual relationship with you. I still love Sunday, and I believe he will be back soon," Nancy said, and CEO Jerry laughed scornfully."Be back soon indeed.
