"Hello Nancy, where are you? How dare you move back to City X without informing me first!" Nancy's father roared at her over the phone."But Dad, I told you I didn't want to marry Charles, but you wouldn't agree or listen," Nancy pouted, wondering who had told her father she had gone to City X, and how he'd gotten her City X phone number."You need to return home immediately and offer a sincere apology to the Alejandro family," Senator Logan said."But Dad, I already apologized to them, and they allowed me to leave," Nancy replied."Hmm... Your mother and I are highly disappointed in you, Nancy. We only want the best for you, and you rejected it for... who exactly? Which young man did you reject Charles Alejandro for? Just know that I won't accept that young man, nor will I accept you becoming his wife. I see nothing wrong with Charles. He's a good man, and with his help and support, I can guarantee you'll be safe and will never lack anything. Do you know how many young ladies are aspi
It has been a week since Nancy Marlon settled down in City X. She bought a new SIM card because she didn't want her family calling her and asking her to return home. As the last time, after her father called her that night, her mother also called, asking her to come back.Nancy missed her parents, but she was glad that they didn't even know where she was living in City X. Her parents were mostly busy people, and they didn't have the time to visit. They had only attended her graduation ceremony in City X, and afterward, they left back to A.J City immediately, without bothering to find out where she lived.Nancy woke up early in her bedroom on a bright Monday morning. She stepped out of bed and walked to her bathroom to shower. She was finally determined to get a new job because she didn't want to call her father and ask him for help or money. She clearly remembered that her father had stated that once she didn't return home in five days, she should forget about returning to A.J City a
Nancy nervously walked up to the receptionist, who was attending to the numerous clients arriving at the magnificent company. She stood aside in the queue, waiting for the number of guests to decrease and get her turn.Soon, it was finally Nancy's turn, and the fair-complexioned, beautiful female receptionist attended to her."Welcome, ma'am, how may we help you today?"Nancy smiled at the receptionist and said, "I'm here for my job interview.""Okay, may I see your email response from our team? But before that, please step aside so I can attend to the next person in the queue.""Okay." Nancy didn't argue with the receptionist. As she stared at the receptionist's finger, her heart skipped a beat when she saw the beautiful diamond wedding ring.Nancy immediately shook her head, not wanting to be distracted or to think about her failed wedding with Charles Alejandro again. She hastily opened her purse, took out her Android phone, and showed the email response to the receptionist."Okay,
"Sure, you can go down to the third floor; that's where all the food is sold. Or you can order your meal here," Mrs. Aria said to Nancy, meeting her gaze."No, let me go there first," Nancy replied, standing up and walking toward the elevator.CEO Jerry also stepped out of his office, as it was lunchtime. He wanted to meet with other top staff members working at his company. As he stepped into the hallway, the bodyguards immediately stopped Nancy and the rest of the staff from entering the elevator, and Nancy wondered what they had done wrong."Wait!" the two bodyguards told them, preventing them from moving forward. Nancy wondered what they did wrong until she looked back and saw CEO Jerry approaching. He walked into the elevator elegantly, and his neatly combed short brown hair made him look breathtakingly handsome.CEO Jerry entered the elevator alone, and the doors closed. Nancy and the rest had to wait for the elevator to return, as they weren't allowed to stand close to the boss
First Lady Kira had decided to listen to her son, so she didn't bother to search for Nancy again. She ignored responding to the media and angry fans dragging her family online, while she thought about inviting Arya Lucian to her home.Walking out of her bedroom on the second floor, she was elegantly dressed in a white native gown.Accompanied by her maids, First Lady Kira went downstairs to the dining room to have breakfast with her son, as her husband wasn't around, and she didn't want to miss having breakfast with Charles before he left for work.It was after 8 a.m., and Charles soon stepped out from the elevator and walked over to the dining room to join his mother. He wasn't going to the office but wanted to visit L.M Resident discreetly."Good morning, Mother," Charles greeted his mother as he approached her standing before the dining table, just before she could settle into her dining seat."Morning, Charles, how was your night?" First Lady Kira asked, finally settling into the f
Senator Logan glanced between his wife and Charles. Although he knew he had been trying to contact Nancy's City X phone number, the number hadn't been reachable. He didn't want to admit that to Charles."Okay, Mr. Charles," Senator Logan quickly took out his phone and transferred the phone number to Charles's phone.Charles stood in the living room with Mr. and Mrs. Marlon. Both parents were seriously worried because they knew Charles was the president's son.They feared what he would do to Nancy. Senator Logan wondered if Nancy had lied to him about Charles and his family actually allowing her to leave, or if she had run away again."The phone number isn't connecting," Charles said, and Senator Logan frowned."I know. It only connected last week. I think Nancy purposely took out her SIM card because I called her to return home and to return to you, but she refused."Charles stared at the old man speaking to him. He could see that they looked worried and afraid of why he was in their h
Charles arrived home late at night, but his father was already home, so he retired to his bedroom on the third floor to sleep. Sensing that his parents might have already had dinner and gone to bed, he entered the elevator and went up to the third floor.The presidential villa was dead silent. Charles walked into his sitting room and remembered when he had returned home the previous week and had seen Nancy sleeping peacefully on his couch.His fist clenched as he missed her, and he knew he had made a terrible mistake by letting her go.Charles sighed and walked into his bedroom, picking up Nancy's photo that was still on his headboard. He stared at her beautiful face, as his room light was still brightly lit."I still love you, Nancy, and now I don't think I can keep up with my promise to you," Charles thought, remembering that he had promised her he wouldn't search for her or monitor her activities again.He continued to stare at her photo silently, and after a while, he spoke."What
CEO Jerry paced about in his office at first before he walked up to his large desk and sat down. Thinking for a while, he knew that he had some clients waiting who wanted to meet with him.He clicked impatiently on his desk, and he picked up his office phone and called Mrs. Aria's office. "Send your assistant into my office to see me," he said in a cold voice.Mrs. Aria was taken aback by his order, as she had thought that he wanted to say, "Send the clients into my office.""Boss, do you mean my assistant or the clients who are waiting?" Mrs. Aria nervously asked him, and the office line went silent for a while before she heard him say, "You heard me clearly, didn't you? Send your assistant first; I would like to speak with her, and don't ask me again."The call disconnected, and Mrs. Aria gulped as she tilted her head and stared towards Nancy's desk.Nancy smiled at her, and she wondered why Mrs. Aria was staring at her."Miss Sophia, the boss requests that you see him now," Mrs. Ar
The following morning in Logan Marlon Residence, Charles stayed with Nancy in her bedroom and did not want to go back home to his family house again. He assisted Nancy in going for her weekly medical checkup, and Senator Logan and his wife didn't complain; they only smiled at Nancy and Charles.Over the weekend, after spending a full week in Nancy's family house, Charles finally spoke to Nancy's parents in the living room. He told them that he would be taking Nancy with him to his family house after registering their marriage the previous day.Senator Logan didn't protest; he was rather happy that Nancy and Charles were together. He blessed their union and said, "I'm glad that my daughter is with you, as it's what I wanted from the very beginning. May the Gods of our land continue to be with you both and bless you with beautiful children.""Amen," Charles and Nancy agreed and finally left the mansion. Mrs. Olivia stood outside the house, emotionally hugging her daughter as she didn't w
Nancy looked up at Charles' face in disbelief and told him, "You are lying to me. I saw photos of you and Arya together.""No, we are not married, and seriously I have sent her away. I only took those photos because of my mother, and Arya had the audacity to publish them with captions like 'My husband and I,' but I'm not her husband, and I never touched her. 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. He hadn't asked about the pregnancy before because he didn't want his only daughter to run away from him again. It made no sense to him that he was caring for orphanage children and other poor f
"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. He brought out the food flask and showed the content to the two security men, and they finally allowed him inside after seeing his cold, frightening aura.Charles parked his bike at the frontage of Nancy's parents' mansion, and he was nervous as he stepped down from the bike and walked up to press the doorbell...
Nancy walked into her bedroom and it was neatly arranged and tidy as if she hadn't left the city before. She sighed and walked up to the bed to sit as she was very tired.She thought of telling her family the truth that she had a relationship with a man she was in love with in City X. She knew her parents would be mad at her.Not wanting to spoil their already happy mood upon seeing that she had finally returned to the city, Nancy decided not to tell her parents yet about her pregnancy. After her bath in the bathroom, she went downstairs to have dinner with her parents.Mrs. Olivia Marlon could visibly see through the light nightgown that Nancy wore that Nancy looked pregnant. But she didn't want to ask her daughter about the man her only daughter got involved with in City X.Nancy sat on the dining seat made available for her, and after her dinner with her parents ended, she stood up from the dining seat and bid her parents good night. They kept staring at her, and she finally went ba
Charles heard from Stevo that Nancy had left the house she was living in with him and had gone back to her grandmother's house. He felt very emotional about it and realized that he had lied to Nancy about his true self. She was blinded by her love for him and couldn't see that he was Charles Alejandro.Charles was in his hotel when he received a report from his men that Arya Lucian had been monitoring Nancy's family phone calls and had found out that Nancy was on her way back to AJ City.Charles immediately left his hotel and went back home to the presidential villa. He had been away from home and didn't want to see Arya or his parents, only showing up for functional events.Upon arriving at the white house, Charles immediately grabbed Arya by her right hand as she sat on the couch with his mother. Arya had been smiling sheepishly, knowing the evil plot she had arranged for Nancy's return.Seeing Charles storm into the sitting room, where she was with First Lady Kira, Charles grabbed A
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. Sunday isn't coming back here; he's already married, and it's a pity that you choose not to believe that he's Charles Alejandro. But he's Charles, and he isn't going to come back soon. So just forget about him," CEO Jerry scoffed.Nancy didn't say a word, and as she wanted to walk away with her mopping bucket, CEO Jerry grabbed her hand and turned her aroun
Nancy left CEO Jerry's office sadly and went back to the Human Resources office to meet with Mr. Brian, as it felt like she was starting her work all over again in the luxurious company. And from their terms and agreement, her monthly income was still the same, but only that she was now a cleaner in the company. Having to sweep the company premises, staff offices, and wash the company's dirty toilets too, alongside other cleaners that the company had before.Nancy felt it was all a joke, and she couldn't tell her grandmother that she had been subjected to work as a cleaner in Jeffery Holdings.Her pretty blue eyes welled up in tears as she was given a new vest to wear to signify that she was now a cleaner in Jeffery Holdings.Most of the staff working on the fourth floor stared at Nancy sadly, and they wondered what she did wrong that would warrant CEO Jerry to demote her to a servant level in Jeffery Holdings.Some whispered, "I thought they said she's dating the CEO.""She's too pret
Nancy's heart broke into pieces as she truly saw that Charles Alejandro is Sunday. She shook her head and screamed out, "No!! I cannot accept this. Charles is not Sunday, Sunday is not Charles.""It's okay, Miss Sophia. I will give you some time to get over Sunday, and hopefully by next week, you can give me your response if you still want to date me or not. That will determine my next course of action," CEO Jerry said as he kept his phone back into his trouser side pocket. He walked away and said, "Bye Sophia. You know that I'm already used to calling you Sophia. Take care and think about my proposal to you. You wouldn't want me to reveal your true identity to my sister, right? The choice is all yours to make."Nancy stood silently and watched CEO Jerry finally walk away from her.Nancy broke down in tears in the hall and finally went back home. She couldn't believe that she had been with Charles all this time, had an affair with Charles, kissed Charles, and even hosted him in her bed
"Hello Sophia," CEO Jerry spoke first, and Nancy replied, "Hi, good morning.""Good morning, how are you doing today? Hope I didn't wake you up from sleep?" CEO Jerry asked. Nancy replied, "No, sir.""Okay, so when can we meet today? Or do you want me to come to your house?" CEO Jerry asked. Nancy replied, "No, sir, I will come to see you in the afternoon.""Okay Sophia, I will be expecting you," CEO Jerry said, and the phone call finally ended.Nancy sighed after her phone call with CEO Jerry ended. She looked at the phone screen for a while and finally went to put it away.Nancy went to prepare her breakfast and after she was through with her day's work.Later in the afternoon, Nancy contacted CEO Jerry to send the location of where he wanted her to meet with him. She left her house and went to the location.When Nancy got to the restaurant first, CEO Jerry arrived and told her that he needed a private place to discuss with her and to show her the photo evidence that Sunday is preten
