The President's Chosen Bride

When she returned to the international airport of A.J. City, Nancy Marlon frowned because she did not understand why her parents had asked her to return home.

She was a beautiful 24-year-old, fair-skinned, slender woman who had been studying in City X.

After graduating as a business administrator, her father told her, “Nancy, I want you to return home and not stay in City X.”

Nancy frowned during the phone call with her father. She knew that her father was a politician in A.J. City, and she could not go against his orders. She arrived at the airport at exactly 2:00 p.m., and her father’s men were already there, waiting to escort her home.

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

She sat in the back seat 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 ruled for years, and any opposition party that tried to oppose them was immediately silenced.

Nancy watched the road as Matthew started the engine and drove away from 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 car’s rearview mirror.

She ignored him and continued to wonder why her parents had insisted that she return home.

When they arrived 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 entrance. Her mother was wearing a red gown, and her father stood in a black suit. The maids also stood behind her parents in their blue uniforms.

Nancy stepped out of the car and walked up to the mansion entrance to meet her parents. She was wearing a red top, black trousers, and black high-heeled shoes.

Nancy finally approached the entrance, and her mother welcomed her warmly. “Welcome home, my beautiful angel.”

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

“Thanks, Dad,” Nancy replied as she hugged her father, and the maids said, “Welcome home, Nancy.”

“Thank you all,” Nancy said, smiling at the maids. Her mother said, “Let us all go inside.”

“Okay, Mom,” Nancy replied, and they walked into the living room.

Nancy could see that the living room had not changed. It was still painted white, with beautiful flower vases around it.

Nancy walked up to a black couch in the living room. There were seven black couches in the room.

“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, smiling at her sweetly.

“Mom, what is the good news? You look so excited to see me,” Nancy asked, curious to know the reason behind her mother’s bright smile. Her mother, a pure epitome of beauty, was 51 years old, yet it did not show on her face. She still looked under forty.

Mrs. Olivia smiled and sat on the black couch beside her. She replied, “Why wouldn’t I be excited to see you, Nancy? You have changed, and you look even more beautiful than when you left the city five years ago.”

“Thanks, Mom, but I’m still the same,” Nancy replied, smiling sweetly at her mother. She knew her mother was right, as she had changed since she left the city five years ago to further her studies abroad. Her body had become more developed, and she was now a charming young lady to behold.

Nancy knew that most people who passed by her would pause and stare, as she looked so adorable now.

She also knew that her mother loved calling her an angel because she had a sharp pointed nose, sparkling blue eyes, and long golden hair, 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, unable to stop admiring her daughter. She thought about telling Nancy about the arranged marriage with the president’s son, but she decided to wait.

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

She could see that her room had not changed. It was still painted pink and had beautiful flower vases around it.

Nancy walked to the window and pulled the curtains open, staring out at her surroundings. She saw three black cars drive into her father’s mansion and park.

Nancy saw several men in black suits step out of the cars, and they walked up to the front car and pulled the door open.

A man in a black suit and a red inner shirt stepped out of the front car, and he met her gaze. Nancy immediately looked away from him and closed her room curtains.

She walked back to her bathroom, stripped off her clothes, and decided to take a bath before going downstairs to join her parents for dinner.

Nancy removed her red top and black trousers, then walked into the bathroom to bathe.

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

Nancy missed her family when she was in City X, and she decided to search for a new job in AJ City. Since she was already home, she would not be going back to City X anytime soon.

Nancy sat on her bed, pulled open the drawer, and took out her body lotion. She then picked up the television remote and switched it on. She saw videos of their president being displayed again on the television screen.

Increasing the volume, Nancy heard the reporter state, “Good evening, citizens of AJ City. I bring you the 4 p.m. news. President Nolan Alejandro has just won the recent election and scored over 50 million votes.”

“Hm,” Nancy frowned because she disliked the Alejandro family. She immediately switched off the television and knew that the Alejandro family had ruled for a long time and did not want another family to rule.

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

She did not like the luxury lifestyle that her family lived, as she wanted a simple life for herself, her husband, and their future children. She also disliked the security men who had been following her every minute and second since her return to the city.

Nancy finished applying cream and stood up from the bed to search for a dress to wear.

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

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

Charles Alejandro was at his hotel when he received a report that his chosen bride had arrived home.

He was eager to see Nancy, as his parents had been pressuring him to settle down. He was their only son and, more likely, the future president. He had many enemies, including inherited ones.

Charles had been at his company earlier in the morning, before deciding to visit his hotel in the afternoon and spend the evening with an attractive woman there.

It was no secret that he loved women. He was a powerful man in A.J. City, and many young ladies knew it and also wanted to get intimate with him.

Charles was a 30-year-old Black man. He was very attractive, tall, masculine, and had short black hair.

His mother would not allow him to rest, as she kept pressuring him about marriage and even showed him several photos of women she had selected for him to choose from. But Charles was not interested in any of them, as he preferred his promiscuous lifesty
