Nancy's phone rang again, and she immediately picked up the call, as she was nervous and wondering who was calling her."Hello," she spoke first, as she listened to the voice that spoke to her, "Hi Sophia.. How are you doing?""I'm fine, who am I speaking with, please?" Nancy nervously asked, as she couldn't recognize the male voice, and she knew the person wasn't Henry, as she had seen him not quite long ago."It's me, CEO Jerry, or what do you usually call me?"Nancy gasped, "Oh! I'm sorry," and she immediately apologized, "I didn't know that you're the one.""It's okay. I can understand," CEO Jerry replied, and Nancy said, "Okay.""So what are you up to today, as you know that today is a free day from office work?" CEO Jerry asked her."I'm fine and in my room," Nancy replied."Hmm, okay," CEO Jerry hummed."How about you?" Nancy asked him, and he replied, "I'm at home too, and in my house actually. Do you want to come and visit me?""No.. I mean, I am just asking," Nancy's cheeks i
Mr. Henry stood on his balcony upstairs and frowned when he saw Mr. Tobe arrive, and he overheard their conversation too.He sighed, knowing that he could not tell Nancy the truth that he likes her. He continued to stand on the balcony, watching her walk away and leave through the compound gate.Nancy first went to the dry cleaner's to pick up her clothes, then returned home before heading to the restaurant, by a public bus.Upon arriving at the popular restaurant in the heart of City X, Nancy walked in still dressed in her light blue, sleeveless, long gown. She noticed some heads turning to stare in her direction, but she ignored them.Among those who turned to stare at Nancy was CEO Jerry, who hadn't expected to see her in the restaurant as he sat with his friend.Seeing her walk in like a model and capturing the attention of the single men in the restaurant made him sigh. His blue eyes were fixed on her, but he couldn't invite her over to his table in the private section of the rest
"What's up? What are you ladies all staring at? And where are you all taking Grandma to?" Charles asked them, as they were still standing inside the elevator that the door had long pulled open, and he stepped aside for them to step out, but they still stood in the elevator and stared at him."Brother, you look so hot. Where are you going to?" Allison finally asked him. As she immediately moved away from wheeling Grandma's wheelchair out, but Charles stopped her and said, "Focus on your job first. I have to go upstairs and take my bath.""Grandma, how are you feeling this afternoon?" Charles asked Grandma Madison, and she smiled at him and replied, "I'm good, Charles."Grandma did not usually speak too many words. They finally stepped out of the elevator. While Charles walked in, he automatically pressed the door to shut, and he went up to his bedroom on the second floor.Walter's Villa is a magnificent two-story building mansion. They had an inbuilt elevator in the mansion to easily go
Nancy stared around the restaurant again, that was looking so beautiful. And as she stared at the entrance door, and watching the people that walks in, as the restaurant too had many security men in black guarding every corners of the restaurant.Nancy's eyes fell on the man that walked in. And she felt her breathing seized for a moment, as she continued to stare at him, and she wondered if she was not dreaming.As she could feel her heart beat accelerated so loud in her chest, as the man looked so much like Charles."What's wrong?" Mr. Tobe asked her, as he stared towards the direction that she was staring at.And he could see a lot of customers that walked into the restaurant, but he did not know who among them that Nancy was staring at.Nancy didn't respond to Mr. Tobe's question to her, as she felt the tall black-skinned man resembles Charles, and as she felt him stare towards her direction and meet her eyes.Her cheeks immediately flamed red while she immediately stared downward t
"I'm so sorry about my outburst," Charles apologized to the customers in the restaurant's private section, after attracting their full attention. He met eye contact with CEO Jerry, who stared at him irritably, wondering why a poor man like him was in a section meant for billionaires, the rich, and nobles in City X.Charles wanted to stand up and leave the private section immediately to go downstairs and confirm if the lady Stevo had sent a photo of was there, as he hadn't seen her upon arrival.He was accustomed to visiting the private section of the restaurant and forgotten now that he had to act poor.Despite this, he went to the private section and stared at the waitress who finally served his meal on the table."Here's your order, sir," the smiling waitress said to Charles, dressed in their blue staff uniform."Okay. Thank you, you can leave," Charles dismissed her and immediately texted Stevo,*Are you sure that she's the one?**I don't know, boss. But she looks like your bride. I
"Yes, I'm already going home, sir," Nancy said to CEO Jerry, as she really wanted to leave. CEO Jerry said to her, "I'm also leaving too, as I was on the private floor upstairs with a very good friend of mine who invited me here. And I thought that you said that you live alone and you're single. So who was that guy?"Nancy smiled and stared in the direction that Mr. Tobe had gone. She replied, "He's a delivery agent here. He only decided to introduce me to other lovely meals that the restaurant sells, since I mostly order fried meals.""Hmm, that's alright then, as I had thought he was your boyfriend, as you both look so friendly and smile at each other.""No, hahaha," Nancy laughed, and she could see a lot of guests walking into the restaurant staring at her too.And she immediately said, "I have to go home now. My time here is up, and I need to rest on time.""Surely, Sophia, I'm also going home. So where do you live? Let me drop you off in my car."Nancy looked at CEO Jerry first, a
Charles smiled happily to himself after his phone call with Stevo ended, and he walked up to his bed to sit, as he wasn't interested in whatever his cousins and family had to say either. He was only interested in one thing. And that was his heart's need.Charles took out his phone and stared at the beautiful photo of Nancy that Stevo had captured on camera. He kissed his phone screen again."She's still as pretty as yesterday," Charles said to himself, and he smiled as he continued to admire Nancy's pretty looks. He remembered how he had made sweet love to her weeks before."I just love her, and it's so difficult for all of them to understand that my feelings for her are true."Charles saved her photo to avoid losing it. He finally stripped off his casual clothes to take his bath.*****Nancy arrived home in the evening, all smiles, unaware that she had been followed home. Stevo made sure to contact someone to follow her to her house.The man who had followed Nancy also sat on the bus,
Mr. Henry met Nancy's gaze on him, and he replied, "I am going to church, but I don't mind dropping you off, so you won't have to stress too much carrying your loads out."Nancy thought about her grandma, Khloe Gregory, delaying her. And she replied, "Alright."Nancy got into Mr. Henry's car, and he finally drove out from their house.She relaxed her back in the car, and she stared at the road, and soon Mr. Henry dropped her off at a cab station."I will give you a phone call later, Sophia. Bye," Mr. Henry said to Nancy, and he zoomed off.Nancy got into a cab, and she ordered the cabman to her grandma's family home.The magnificent house is a standard duplex too. And Nancy walked into the beautiful home that was gradually getting covered with overgrown flowering plants, and she made her way into the parlor.Grandma Khloe was fit and she wasn't using any cane to support her walking, as she lived alone and most of her children were all married, and her husband too was late.She called o
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
