Ronaldo's wife to be.

Chapter 4

" I think he is looking for you," Fayez told Charlotte, they were seated in a room upstairs but they could see all the activities going on in the hall.

" Who?" Charlotte asked staring down at the hall.

" Your husband-to-be now," Fayez smiled and pointed down.

" You are just like Grandmother, give me a break we do not know that yet, can you tell me what you think about him," Charlotte asked her maiden.

" I see a powerful man, look how he is smiling at the ladies," Fayez noted.

" Is he shying off, that daredevil can't be shy, or has he laid every lady in his empire," Charlotte said yawning like she was bored.

"Empire? "

" Yes, the Atkins Empire," Charlotte replied and observed.

Charlotte sat there, all sad and stared at Ronaldo, He stood in a corner curving his mouth and letting out his infectious devilish smile, It was easy to spot him his clothes were simple and Charlotte sighed who wears that simply showing off his broad shoulders and thick chest, didn't he have something better to wear or was the tight t-shirt necessary.

" What has your Grandmother said or haven't you both communicated,?" Fayez asked noting the fear in her eyes.

" She hasn't communicated since last night, she said she is resting and needs not to be disturbed," Charlotte let out shaking her head.

" Ooh my God, did you bother her much, she always said that when not 8n a mood to discuss anything and she would go quiet for days without speaking to anyone," Fayez outlined.

" My Mother never told me that though she got quiet too, mostly when things got out of hand," Charlotte pointed out.

" That character she inherited from her mother, you are different from those two, very aggressive and always wanting to prove a point, " Fayez said.

" Why am I hearing this now, were you not supposed to tell me about it, years ago," Charlotte groaned at her.

" See yourself, worrying about that stranger even before you have the whole picture," Fayez chuckled.

" What do you mean?".

" You chose this room so we can spy on him right, am sorry stop speculating, face the man or wait till the will is read," Fayez sneered.

" How can I face him when he makes me tremble, or do you want my people to see me shake like a leaf in front of him," Charlotte worriedly said.

" How about you breathe in and out, you are the smartest, most courageous, strong woman I have ever met, that man is nothing in your eyes, take him as one of your servants back at the Empire," Fayez tried to convince her.

" The problem is he is the leader of the Atkins Empire, he roars in his league, And am the Idris Empire leader, it's like we are equal but him being a man, in our society he still holds the upper hand," Charlotte explained.

" Keep overthinking,".

" If those two sisters decide we wrestle and the winner takes control of the two empires, do you think I will win?" Charlotte said.

" That's obvious, he will take you down within a second," Fayez replied wondering what she was up to.

" That's what am trying to say!".

" But why would the old lady, suggest such a malicious act," Fayez asked raising her brows.

" Because she wants me to get married to this guy, Wait for anything am just trying to prepare my mind," Charlotte said and stared at Ronaldo below, just as he had finished with his cup of coffee.

" look at how the ladies are staring at him like he was handsome," Charlotte spoke with a crispy tone.

"What's with the tone my lady?"

" Which tone, I just observed how the ladies are acting up around him and when he scans around they all pretend not to be staring at him as they look at other sides," Charlotte said irritably.

" Why are you whining? What is it you ain't telling me, you sound like a jealous lover," Fayez came closer and started at him.

" My God is that what you perceive from my voice, then I met him last night," Charlotte Said shyly.

" Met him where? You went to his room, that's so unladylike, No wonder you gave him that look this morning," Fayez said disappointedly.

" Why can't you be patient, I tell my story," Charlotte let out oblivious to the fact that she had hidden this matter from her and this only meant she felt was wrong.

Okay, go on?!".

" I was mad at Grandmother's answer last night and got out of the room, I needed to perform a ritual at the park and summon her, so she could tell me, what was happening to me, " Charlotte said breathing out fire in annoyance, how can her maiden think of her like that.

" You need to calm down and lower your voice, " Fayez noted her anger was elevating.

" Guess who I met, walking on my path, " Charlotte whispered.

" The Atkin guy? ".

" I crushed in him and we both connected like we were under some spell or magic, I tried to get out of his hands but my conscious was telling me to explore further, " Charlotte said.

" How far did you explore?" Fayez asked her hands resting on her head in shock.

" I could have explored to the last act if he had pulled out in time," Charlotte quivered when she remembered the account.

" Pull out where did you lose your virginity to that man, "Fayez's eyes were wide open.

" No, but what difference does it make, he was my first kiss and other things I can't mention here, " Charlotte averted her gaze from Fayez's stare.

" You took your naivety to that man, did he take advantage of you or what things are you talking about, " Fayez interrupted.

" It's like we were drawn together, nobody wanted to let the other go and we acted like we knew each other, " Charlotte smiled.

" Why are you smiling? "

" Because of how stupid, that statement sound coming from me, " Charlotte laughed foolishly.

" We all have our moments of weakness, you can't call it stupid, it happened, you tried to stop it but you loved what you were doing so you stayed on but, you must avoid him by any chance in case you two are drawn together again by this imperceptible force, " Fayez looking at her intently.

" Even at this distance, he is still giving me pangs of pleasure, my body is perspiring thinking of what we had last night under the moonlit, " Charlotte said indifferently, full of emotions.

" Am glad that no matter how the whole saga is making you irritable, you can still find pleasure in it, " Fayez commenter a scowl appearing on her face, did they consummate their feelings, why can't she tell me what happened, and if they copulated then she deserves to take him for a spouse.

" If I knew one day I will give myself freely to a man and enjoy his touch, his kisses, then I would have tried to eliminate my naivety at an earlier age, " Charlotte murmured void of any emotions.

" My ladyship, you are creating lots of mountains out of this one molehill, Who refused all the men that Your Uncle George got for you, " Fayez snickered.

" He never brought them with good intentions, he was after my inheritance, " Charlotte hissed.

" Then why could you not have told me, I could have done it for you, I used to get men for your Mother so she could get experienced, " Fayez whispered.

" You mean my Father married her not a virgin? ".

" How could she have been superior to him, if he taught her the ways of love, Haven't you said yourself the Atkin guy makes you feel inferior, " Fayez rolled her eyes.

"Were you not supposed to advise me then, I could have talked with Johnie and maybe this wouldn't have happened, " Charlotte raised her brows.

" Johnie is your cousin, you can't take advantage of him and remember the old lady made it clear that she will advise you from her grave, so don't give me that look, "Fayez spoke out.

" I think I just need someone to blame but this is all my Grandma's doing, she is stubborn, let me see if I will outsmart her in her own game, " Charlotte said.

" Can you see the people present, Uncle George, his wife Maggie, I have seen Auntie Mary and Shemmie and of course Johnie, don't forget the Mandan is, and the other group of people from our empire, " Fayez frustrated and upset pointed out.

" What about them? ".

" They are all here for the will reading as witnesses and to make sure whatever the old lady said is followed to the book, " Fayez wondered what the Atkin guy did to her boss, She can't even reason small matters.

" My mind is registering nothing, but am glad to have you or else who would be educating me today, I agree am distracted, "Of course, Subtlety was not Charlotte's strong suit.

" I was there during your mother's era, I know you from birth and I would say this is the weakest moment of your life, but my advice is stay woke, expect anything, Mandani might keep us longer, " Fayez said.

" The better, I will have had enough time to discern if my feelings are true or were a mistake, and face that square-faced foxy-eyed man, " Charlotte chirped.

" No matter what, you don't forget you are the ladyship of the Atkins Empire, and we are behind you, "Charlotte replied.

" And no indisputable male will take my place, I swear to you, I will look for a way to fulfil my Grandmothers will, but it has to be my way, " Charlotte stood up and moved out of the window, just as Ronaldo disappeared into some corridor.

" How about I go to the bar and get you something to eat, remember you have not eaten nicely since these dreams and the summon letter, " Fayez suggested.

" Only make sure, he does not see you, he is looking for me, my instant never lies, " Charlotte said lying in the bed that was present in that room.

" I will disguise myself, " Fayez disappeared, after trying a shawl in her head.

Starting blank at the ceiling Charlotte remembered, Ronaldo, saying he always treats the women who come his way the way he treated her.

So that's the reason those women were shying off in his presence because, if they ever found themselves in his way, which woman would escape his skill, he has a way with his words, mastered in when to touch where, he can make a woman run mad, for he has mastered his ways of romance.

This thought brought pain in her heart, she could not imagine those hands touching anyone else except her, Why don't I want this guy and yet he causes me pain when I think of his actions, am I supposed to care about what he does, Am I not strong enough maybe that's why Grandmother wanted to intervene when it came to me getting a suitor,

" Grandma I will show you I can rule this Empire without the help of that arrogant man, I know what to do, hope your will won't be very tough on me, " Charlotte said loudly.

" The Empire is safe with you my lady, What man are you talking about, " Johnie Startled her, as he came bulging into the room.

" Johnie, why don't you knock? How many times am I going to teach you this one virtue," Charlotte raised and sat on a chair.

" I have been knocking on that door but it seems you are lost on your ideas," Johnie let out, crouching next to her.

" Ooh am sorry, am tired I didn't sleep very well last night, that's why I was resting, "Charlotte excused herself.

" I came to check on you, I saw you when you arrived and I noticed you didn't seem well and again it's not your nature not to greet your people," Johnie said.

" Are you sure Uncle didn't send you, is he even aware am here," Charlotte laughed.

" Jack told us you are resting and condemned it on a long journey but me and you, know you slept in a nearby hotel, so tell me what's up, my lady cousin," Johnie joked curiously.

" What do you think Grandma Idris wrote on her well, considering there are two different empires present for this reading," Charlotte asked with a cold expression.

" How can you guess what she wrote, we will have to wait, My Father Speculates that probably he might be the Empire leader," Johnie sneered.

" That's a dream, he has dreamt for a long but I don't think so, I remain her Ladyship of the Idris Empire," Charlotte yelled.

" Who dreamt for long, " Fayez came in carrying takeaway boxes and kept the food on the table.

" Ooh Johnie you came visiting, have you eaten or will you take late Lunch with us, " Fayez asked and guessed they were discussing his father.

" Am from the bar, am full, let my Ladyship eat as she does always, I will see you tonight for dinner, " Johny left closing the door behind him.

Charlotte waited for Johny to leave and she whispered," did you find the guy at the bar? ".

" Yes, he is with Jack enjoying whisky shots, " Fayez replied serving food.

" A man who takes alcohol can't be a good leader, " Charlotte smiled and approached the table...
