Arriving at the international airport of AJ City, Nancy Marlon, a fair-skinned blonde woman, frowned as she didn't understand why her parents had asked her to return home.
She had been studying in City X, and after she graduated with a degree in business administration, her father clearly 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 AJ City, and she couldn't go against his orders. So she arrived at the airport at exactly 2 p.m., and her father's men were already there waiting to escort her home.
“Welcome home, Nancy,” her elder adopted brother, Matthew Marlon, smiled at her, but Nancy frowned as she walked with him to the car.
She sat in the back seat of the car 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 been ruling for years, and any opposition party that tried to oppose them was immediately silenced.
Nancy watched the road as Matthew started the car engine and drove out from the airport. Her eyes saw the gigantic billboard displaying the city president's photos.
“Hmm…” Nancy hummed, and she could see Matthew smiling at her through the rearview mirror of the car.
She ignored smiling back at him, as she continued to wonder why her parents had insisted that she return home.
Arriving 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 could see her parents standing at the mansion's entrance. Her mother was wearing a red gown, and her father stood in his black suit, with the maids standing behind them 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 and black trousers with her black high-heeled shoes.
She approached the mansion entrance, and her mother wholeheartedly welcomed her, “Welcome home, my beautiful angel.”
“Good afternoon, Mom, Dad,” Nancy smiled as she hugged her mother, and her father said, “Welcome home, Nancy. It's good to have you back..”
“Thanks, Dad,” Nancy replied as she was still hugging her mother, and the maids said to her, “Welcome home, Nancy.”
“Thank you all,” Nancy smiled at the maids, and her mother said, “Let us all go inside.”
“Okay, Mom,” Nancy replied and finally walked into the living room with her mother.
She could see that their living room hadn't changed; it was still painted white and had beautiful flower vases around.
Nancy walked up to a black couch in the living room, which had seven black couches.
“Home, sweet home,” she whispered as she sat down on one of the black couches.
She saw her mother standing there in the center of the living room, smiling at her sweetly.
“Mom, what is the good news about? You look so excited to see me,” Nancy asked, curious to know the reason behind her mother's bright smile. Her mother was a pure epitome of beauty, cute even at the age of 51. It didn't reflect on her mother's face at all, as she still looked under forty.
Mrs. Olivia Marlon smiled and sat down on the black couch beside her. She replied, “Why wouldn't I be excited to see you, Nancy? You have changed, and you look more beautiful now compared to when you left the city five years ago.”
“Thanks, Mom, but I'm still the same,” Nancy replied and smiled sweetly at her mother. She knew that her mother was right; she had changed compared to when she left the city five years ago to further her studies abroad. Her figure had become more pronounced, and she was a sexy, charming young lady to behold.
Nancy knew how most people who usually passed by her would pause and stare back to be sure of what they saw, as she looked so adorable now.
Also, she knew that her mother loved calling her an angel because she had a sharp pointed nose, blue sparkling eyes, and her long golden hair 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 Marlon replied as she couldn't stop admiring her daughter. She thought to tell Nancy about the arranged marriage with the president's son, but she decided to wait.
Nancy smiled and went upstairs to her bedroom. Approaching her bedroom door, she pushed it open and walked into her room.
She could see that her room hadn't changed; it was still painted pink and had beautiful flower vases around.
Nancy walked up to her room window to pull the curtains open and stare out at her surroundings. She could see some black cars had arrived as the three black cars drove into her father's mansion and parked.
Nancy saw some men in black suits step down from the car at the back, and they walked up to the car at the front and pulled the car door open.
She saw a man in a black suit and inner red shirt step down from the car, and she met his handsome gaze, but she immediately looked away and shut her room curtains.
Likewise, she walked back to her bathroom to strip off her clothes, deciding to take a bath and later go back downstairs to join her parents for dinner.
She stripped off her red top and black trousers and finally walked into her bathroom to bathe.
A few hours later, Nancy stepped out of her bathroom wrapped in a long white towel. She walked up to her bed to sit down and cream her body.
She 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 at home and wouldn't be going back to City X anytime soon.
Nancy sat on her bed, pulled her bed drawer open, and took out her body lotion to cream her body.
She then picked up her television remote and switched it on, seeing the videos of their city president displayed again on her television screen.
Increasing the television volume, Nancy heard the reporter state, “Good evening, citizens of AJ City. I bring you the 4 p.m. news as President Nolan Alejandro has just won the recently ended election today, scoring over 50 million votes.”
Nancy frowned as she disliked the Alejandro family. She switched off her television, knowing that the Alejandro family had been ruling them for a long time and didn't want another family to rule.
She knew that her father was also a politician working under the AJ Political Party group, and she sighed, deciding not to worry about politics.
She didn't like the luxurious lifestyle that her family lived, as she wanted a simple life for herself, her husband, and their sweet kids in the future. She didn't like the security men who had been following her every minute and second since her return to the city.
Nancy finished creaming her body and stood up from the bed to search for clothes to wear.
She walked into her closet and took out a short brown gown that she would wear. The brown gown hugged her body tightly and accentuated her hips and shape.
Nancy smiled and walked back to her room mirror, holding her white long towel in her right hand to dry her wet long golden hair and comb it to cascade down her back.
If only she knew the reason her parents had asked her to return home, then she wouldn't be at home.
