Semua Bab The Billionaire's Chosen Bride : Bab 1 - Bab 10

Nancy Marlon, a 24-year-old light-skinned woman, frowned. She didn’t understand why her parents had asked her to return home. She had been studying 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 on the phone call with her father. She knew he was a politician in A.J City, and she couldn’t go against his orders. She arrived at the international airport at exactly 2 p.m. Her father’s men were already there, waiting to escort her home. “Welcome home, Nancy.” Her elder adopted brother, Matthew Marlon, smiled at her. Nancy frowned as she walked with him to the car. She sat in the back seat and knew the city was ruled by the popular President Nolan Alejandro and his family. The city was named after the Alejandro family. They had ruled for years, and any opposition party that tried to oppose them was immediately silenced. Nancy watched the road as Matthew started the engine

Nancy had finished 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. Nancy could feel her stomach growling so loud in hunger, so she held onto the iron railing to support herself as she went downstairs. She wouldn’t fall or miss her steps as she alighted the stairs. Similarly, Nancy saw a guest who had arrived in her parents’ home, and that made her frown. She hated the way 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. She hated to be monitored by anyone, as she loves to have her privacy. Nancy saw the tall, handsome, black man who 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. With the way his black eyes kept staring at her, she felt like he was already stripping her

“Mom…” Charles approached his mother and hugged her. She smiled and said, “Charles, you haven’t answered my question yet. I was waiting for you to return home first so that we can have our dinner together as a family.” “Good evening, Mom,” Charles greeted his mother as he hugged her and walked with her toward the dining room. He replied, “Mom, Nancy is the one, and she’s very pretty too.” “Hmm.” First Lady Kira smiled. She kept silent and watched Charles pull a dinner chair out for her to sit first. She sat down elegantly on the chair and continued to watch her handsome son. Charles sat on the next chair beside her right at the dining table. He replied, “Mom, Nancy is the one and she’s very cute. Where did you see her photo from? I really do like her.” “Mmm.” First Lady Kira grinned as she watched the maids step out of the kitchen and walk up to the dining table to serve her dinner alongside Charles’s dinner, too. They served the delicious meals. President Nolan Alejandro wasn’t

Senator Logan blamed himself for organizing the business meeting in his home. He decided to build a new welcoming area to receive guests and shield his wife and daughter from their lustful stares. Not only had he seen the men lusting after his daughter, but they also lusted after his beautiful wife. Nancy picked up her teacup and drank from it. After breakfast with her parents ended, she spoke to them. “Dad, Mom, I want to go out and shop for the things I need. As you know, I just returned home, and some of my personal items have run out.” “Okay, Nancy. Will you use your car, or should Matthew accompany you to the shopping mall?” her father asked. “You know the wedding is tomorrow, and some guests already have their eyes on you. I cannot risk them kidnapping you before the wedding.” “But Dad, they don’t know me. I’m not a celebrity, and not everyone knows I will marry Charles tomorrow,” Nancy replied. She saw her mother smiling at her while her father said, “I know, Nancy, but it’s

Nancy met Charles’s sharp, black eyes. Her chest rose and fell heavily. She desperately wanted to move away from him, but he held her close. “I cannot let you go,” Charles said. It seemed to him that he was beginning to lose himself because of her. Nancy took several steps backward. Charles moved closer, still staring intently at her face. She halted when her back hit the glass wall. She swiftly turned to move away, but Charles closed the distance. He inhaled her sweet floral scent and fought the urge to kiss her pink lips as his dark eyes wandered to them. “Why don’t you want me?” Charles asked. He now stood very close to Nancy. She could not respond—the words stuck in her throat. She inhaled his cologne, which penetrated her nostrils, and spluttered, “I… I…” “I don’t love—” Nancy finally found the words, but she spoke with trembling lips. “But I do,” Charles replied. “Let’s get married, and I promise to be the man you want.” Charles still held Nancy close to his chest. She shoo
