Ronaldo's wife to be.

Chapter 11

Charlotte joined Maggie and Mary at their table after? She walked out of Ronaldo, She felt like a winner, and smiled triumphantly.

" Hello Aunties, I can see you all jolly and jovial," She said crouching next to Auntie Maggie.

" You look happy and beautiful this afternoon, where is Fayez?" Maggie asked.

" She must be cleaning my dresses and our rooms, you know she doesn't trust even the workers here to do her job!" Charlotte giggled.

" For how long are we going to stay here, am getting bored and I miss my beadwork," Mary said.

" It's time to relax your bones and magical hands," Charlotte replied putting her back.

" There are serving tea, I need a few biscuits and a Swiss roll am starving," Maggie exclaimed.

" Haven't you taken your lunch?" Charlotte raised her brows.

" Your Uncle is very stingy, he said we should eat the last night's leftovers and I hate cold food," Maggie said sadly.

"Shemmie darling, take this money rush to the bar and get your elders something warm and nice to the earth, "Charlotte said fishing out a thousand shilling notes out of her pocket and handing it to the young girl.

" Okay, Lady!" She smiled, took the cash and run helter skelter towards the food vendor shop at the bar.

" You shouldn't be starving when am around, you are my lovely Aunties," She smiled and hugged her Auntie Maggie., .

Ronald entered the hall and he stood briefly beside Jack giving him a stern look, He stood there, his back against the wall as he stared at Charlotte and the other ladies chatting.

" Are we still fighting?" He inquired eyeing him curiously.

" She does not seem to need any husband, she rejected us both, why should I fight you," Jack sneered and clicked, raising his leg and stepping on the wall recklessly. His eyes glued at the ladies, and Charlotte.

" She has, been doing well on her own I guess, Handling the Empire on her own for how long now?" Ronaldo asked.

" Four years to be precise since his uncle handed her the reigns of leadership," Jack answered bored.

" And everything goes smoothly, they have never been in debt or lacked food,"Ronaldo yawned, and squeaked a bit intimidated.

If she is comfortable and got no challenges, then, The necromancy has been doing satisfactorily, it is hard to bend her hand, if a woman can handle not only herself, but the whole Empire of four thousand people, refined into those walls and gates. How can she be a good wife.

" Yes, too many orders and tourists have started visiting here, not this chilly season, mostly when its sunny they get into her Realm, buying and flaunting people with cash " Jack acknowledged.," It's a nice source of cash ".

" Dear men, please have a seat we are serving afternoon tea," Jenny announced from nowhere startling these two gentlemen from their thoughts.

Ronaldo resisted the urge to grin wickedly at her, but instead, composed himself into a gracious smile, he bowed and greeted her like the lady she is, mostly because he failed her before.

" Some people no matter how much you wash them with satisfaction, can't give you that one last desire," Jenny eyed him as he became royal and respective.,speaking in a language the two understood.

" Too much water can be a turn-off," Ronaldo whispered in Jenny's ears, he was ready to make her mad, so she can avoid him for the few days or hours remaining on this Summoning.

The men approached, but never sat with the ladies, they chose a table that enabled them to have a nice look at The Idris Empire conglomerates members. Ronaldo looked up only to be met by Fayez's eyes as she approached her Master, she stood silently hands clasped around Charlotte's shoulders,massaging softly, her gaze blank and expressionless fixated on him and he stubbornly held her gaze till she averted it.

" Jack, how comes, there are no aspirants to her hand in marriage?" Ronaldo effected his most sluggish drawl.

" Too many over the years, since she hit twenty, Her Uncle George tried and it has never worked!" Jack winced at how those words he uttered sounded like trash. They never tried her,its his efforts to entice her lady ship.

" And what happened," He asked, wanting to know if anyone bought that crap about her Grannie scaring them away.

" Nobody talks much, but most talk of the lady Idris ghost, it tormented them till they left," Jack said.

" Is that true or some scare, a reason so you could all of you leave the beautiful lady alone," Ronaldo chuckled as he gazed at Charlotte's, Killer firm jawline, she had a jungle green dress with shiny pearls around her neck " what doesn't look good on her?".

" Unless she gets someone from outside like me and you, Everyone considers her as the Idris lady, they won't bother and she treats them well and rewards them heavily for good work?" Jack explained.

" And.....," Ronaldo stammered, and Jack interrupted him, " Ooh, please shut up, stop asking me more questions anything else you need to know, ask her?".

" You should work on your anger and expectations," Ronaldo took his cup of tea, and an assorted plate of ginger biscuits, cakes, and rolls,placed them in front of him and started sipping and munching.

" Too much gluten on your plate and you still have that masculine, athletic body, no wonder she would choose you over me," Jack said accepting his plateau tea.

" Hit your morning gym, or run, and you will shed off that fat, you have collected around your waist," Ronaldo replied.

Shemmie staggered to the table carrying a few food containers and placed them on the table. " Wow, I need a plate too, damn am starving," Fayez noted.

" You can share with the others, the confectioneries appear much, save some for later, I love the ginger biscuits and get a recipe too," Charlotte raises her head, only to notice the two men seated not far away from her.

So they are back to their good times already huh!!.

She stared on them both trying to catch their attention, She chuckled, loudly, stretched her hands and yawned, but none of them seemed to notice her, She knew they were pretending and nobody wanted to look like he was interested in Charlotte but deep down, they were both hurting.

Jenny came around holding a very big tea urn and a few cups, adding more tea to the gentleman then Ronaldo suggested "can I please help you I want to serve those women over there".

" you are a leader and you're supposed to be seated with your people but you are here drooling at Charlotte, it's like both of you have not heard clearly that she doesn't need any man at the moment, " She chuckled.

" God will punish you, " Jack looked up at her.

" Atkins sir, you want to go and serve her while your people watch excuse me it is my job, just sit down and enjoy your VIP treatment," Jenny smiled at him ignoring his husband.

Ronaldo followed Jenny, he was a stubborn guy, he is not used to being told no, he gives orders, he wants to be there, and he will look for ways to be there, he stood before them and smiled at the ladies, as she greeted them one at a time.

" I felt it would be rude not saying hello to my friends," Ronaldo cast a glance at Charlotte who rolled her eyes.

" you can have the owner pouring tea to the ladies if you'll excuse me I will go,prepare dinner it won't prepare itself enjoy yourselves , women and gentlemen," Jenny said, sticking her tongue out on Ronaldo.

" Did I do anything wrong or why is Jenny so mad at me ,anyway ladies I'm at your service can I pour you some tea?" Ronaldo said catching the attention of everyone ,they stared at him

Shammie started smiling and feeling shy at the same time and fayez had to chase her out of their company she was the youngest and maybe the Atkins charm was getting into her and being the only person who understood the mystery behind this man looks and character, she had to act quickly and get the girl out of that table.,which she did.

" Well I do not think it is in your place to serve my people tea, let Fayez do her job, you can sit down and chat with us instead," Charlotte swallowed and her face turned a delicate shade of green, a reflection of her dress, her eyes flaming, she was angry but camouflaging well, she was not going to bring an outburst when the ladies are present, Ronaldo noted that and he sat comfortably knowing there is nothing she can do to him at the moment.

He glanced her way and saw her look sharply at Fayez,they conversed easily as she took the tea urn and served them a second helping , she then took her plate and sat aside with Shemmie.

" Why is everyone staring at me , do I look that bad or should I not keep you company," Ronaldo asked , scanning the group.

" I can see Henry checking you up , why don't you go check him up?" Maggie said raising her hands to Henry who was not even bothered about them.

" If my Uncle needs my attention, we have a solid procedure,to follow but since I make you ladies uncomfortable I will leave,"Ronaldo stood and left , he expected her ladyship to make him stay but to his dismay she was as bored as the elderly women in her company.

" Is he in love with you , or why has he been following you around like that ?" Maggie asked.

" About love I don't know, he feels being with me as friends and her fellow leader maybe ," Charlotte was quick to answer, stared at Fayez ,she was busy with Shemmie".I can't lie when she us listening".

" I hear he is a womaniser ,no offence and women really like him ?" Mary said ," He is charming though".

" Where did you hear that ?" Charlotte asked astonished.

" Words move fast here ,even Jenny wants to confirm if its true, she is drawn to him , I don't know how she plans to entice him but ,that's it ,'' Mary smiled.

" That's weird, whatever you do don't keep eye contact , he has powers that draw you to him and once he Marks you ,you have to warm his bed," Mary goggles

" Am amazed by your hear says?" Charlotte snickered.

Ronaldo heard everything that the ladies were discussing, he had a sharp hearing ability so he stepped a few step backwards and beckons on Charlotte,

" You are seated there earnestly discussing me," He smiled his devilish smile, his features soft though.

" Yes ,its hear say , I can't interfere and seem like am defending you," She formed a scowl on her forehead.

Their eyes were trapped on each other again, her head barely on his shoulder level yet her manner proclaimed her believe that she was as Powerful as ever she seemed more powerful than him there was no hint of feminine or weakness or any acknowledgement of susceptibility, He looked harder and she didn't sway or blink her eyes.

" I need to get you herbs and roots if it's true you're suffering from the disease I'll be your doctor and you shall pay me in kind," Charlotte eyed him evenly.

" My disease has already found a cure so please let's not go there I'm not ready to discuss my weaknesses but since I have found you and you make me stronger, what is the need of roots and herbs?" He threw her a measuring look, his eyes soft, a closed lip smile ,mesmerized by her beauty .

"Are you not going to deny it I thought they hated you so the hearsay is true, do you have powers?" Charlotte made a runny face glare.

" I got Charms and I have not hid it from anyone am a man of power ,I can have as many women as the solomon of the bible," Ronaldo said calmly void of any emotions.

" What does that make you , a casanova, a hoe or king Solomon? " Charlotte asked.

" My sweet Charlotte, be careful of your judgement, my charms didn't work on you ," Ronaldo declared with a soft voice, and she noted her frigidity melt.

Charlotte drew a long tight breath, her gaze unwavering ,showing an innocent expression as her body reacted to that calm soft voice.

" Don't you dare use these charms on me ?" Charlotte almost shouted when she started shuddering with pleasure.

Ronaldo held into his harmless bantering pose,letting his eyes fall on her eyes ,then the face ,and stared at her lips politely.Her hair drew his eyes more and he shifted into it , scanned each ringlet that laid on her forehead, and he saw her getting sweaty, a thick film of sweat had formed on the side temples of her head.Ronaldo felt like reaching out and wiping that trickle of sweat as it formed .He was overwhelmed and his body reacted to that observation.

Charlotte had sworn to not break the gaze, and she was now quivering visibly, Ronaldo had to rescue her from her misery ,proving strong was not that easy mostly when your body defies your actions,

" I need to walk you up in a more private area, princess," He noticed the sparks in her eyes as the hair shine in the afternoon sun.He held on her and forced her to take quick steps to her room , nobody glanced backwards to check on the reaction of the crowd left behind.Seeing her melting in the eyes of a man would be more lethal than leading her to safety, he thought.

They got into her room and he sat her on the chair, then he pulled a chair and sat opposite her , he wanted to laugh loud but he knew this will irritate her.So he just focused on her beautiful face. " You got nice lips and they taste like strawberries and pears".

" So you still remember the incidents of that night, why haven't you forgotten?" Charlotte stiffened.

" Who would want to wipe such sweet moments from their mind, " He giggled.

" Don't you have recent memories to make fun of my first day back," She snobbed him.

" Both days were your first days ,I get to behave like a gentleman in both times but that evil spirit in you takes charge and controls everything," Ronaldo scoffed.

" The only spirit I got is not evil ,its my Grannies, and if we will have to be friends you should respect her and me," She roared.

Ronaldo smiled ,"am a gentleman I keep my words and know my boundaries ".

" You call yourself a gentleman surely ?".

" Yes ,untill am not, why doubt".Ronaldo creaked.

" I would never refer you as a gentleman ?".

" Which other gentleman do you know of , Jack Mandani is a joker", Ronaldo said raising both his brows.

" You have been nothing but tough , I can't forget how you grabbed me roughly and forced your sweet tongue inside my mouth ," She sat down her head forward.

"You should not have crushed on me ,that was intended ,and you should have not enjoyed my kisses, If I had not put a stop on it ,I would have made love to you there on the dew and nothing could have stopped it , you were dying for me ," Ronaldo twisted his lips and curled them to a big smirk.

Charlotte regretted having brought about that memory, she was in haste to remember and forget the whole ordeal at the same time , but now her body was in emotions , quivering like a leaf in a windy day. She knew she had to stop but didn't know how or why, those memories were very fresh

Ronaldo Calculated his steps and crazily pulled her to himself, this time more rougher than before, he forced his lips into her mouth and was welcomed to a session of pure ecstatic romance , Then when she needed him the most curling on him like an electric tong wrapped on hair , he pulled himself out of the tight entanglement.

" I need to go now!" Ronaldo announced ,and left her there ,sweaty ,dripping and moaning.

" She tried to talk but her body was undergoing a transition that had taken all her strength , so he just watched him stride to the door, opened it , looked back at her smiling and dissapeared slumming the door shut behind her.

" Damn , that was intended, he is no gentlemen, I can't marry him," Charlotte frowned.
