Ronaldo's wife to be.

Chapter 5

" Are we going to the bar, for how long are we going to hide here," Fayez asked deliberately, They can't keep indoors it was a sign of weakness.

" What do you think? And how about that man in there?" Charlotte raised her brows.

" Who cares about the man, you handle him as he comes, only maintain your distance," Fayez advised.

" Then let's go, but first I need to arrange my hair, come on and even change my dress," Charlotte suggested.

" You will change your dress only at dinnertime, at the moment let me clip your hair in the middle, you look beautiful," Fayez chuckled, she was conscious of looking good for the man or herself.

" I trust you?" She smiled back. So Fayez laughs because she thinks am worried about my looks and want to look good for Ronaldo, she can enjoy the show, things are coming out of my mouth without second thoughts and I can't blame myself for that! " Charlotte thought.

Ronaldo kept Shifting on his chair as he scanned the crowd a hundred times, his heart told him his tormenter was near but it was like she had worn a mask to disguise herself from him.

" My friend is everything okay, seems like you are searching for someone, " Jack asked in curiosity, Ronaldo was so disturbed he couldn't sit still for ten minutes.

" Aahh-- Nope, I just want to make sure my people are comfortable, " He lied stammering.

The next time he was making his usual round of scanning, he came face to face with Charlotte and on his side, the older lady clinging to her like some parasitic plant.

His heart raced, his eyes widened and his tongue fell from his mouth, He was mixed up by a thousand feelings as they all danced in his nerves making him uncomfortable, So he stood up and stretched hoping the magical waves that were crawling in his skin would diminish or get less," what kind of energy does that woman have? she affects me physically, emotionally and socially," He murmured sitting down.

" Which woman? " Jack followed his gaze and saw no one of interest.

" She was right there," Ronaldo lied again, he can't discuss his affairs with Jack, he has a loose mouth and might broadcast it to everyone.

Jennie joined Jack at his table and he announced that he should go and take his late lunch, She smiled at Ronaldo, and stretched her hands to greet him, which he took and brushed a soft kiss on them bowing like a gentleman

" I bet you have met my beautiful wife, " Jack said, letting her sit on his lap.

" Not really, but a pleasure to meet you, Mrs Jack, " Ronaldo said maintaining a straight glance.

" Hey, handsome the leader of the Atkins, call me Jenny? " She giggled.

" Jenny it is then, how many kids now Jack, your wife still looks gorgeous, " Ronaldo asked slyly, he could notice Jack's wife getting lost in his composure, her once invincible n*****s were now visible, swelling more as they continued contact, she was getting affected by his the charm.

" Three children only! " Jack answered absent-mindedly, without any knowledge of what was happening between the two.

" I can see she is loyal to you, check how aroused she seems after sitting on your laps, " Ronaldo let out, targeting Jenny's audience rather than Jack's.

" Come on Atkins, aren't you not supposed to admire and shut up, by the way, did your friend give you a house? " Jenny asked, she was drawn by Ronaldo's magnet and all she had in his mind is to get laid by him, forgetting she was a married woman.

Ronaldo listened carefully to his body, he was not himself, that Necromancy had cast a spell on her and if he was not going to ease himself he is going to burst, for in five years this is the longest he has gone without a woman and his body was burning. Of course not for Jenny but for Charlotte.

" why not try my luck with Jack, woman, she needs me it's written all over her, maybe this Kasuku of my guy friend has been starving her sexually, " Ronaldo thought giving Charlotte a bold look when their eyes met.

"What does that look for, or is she threatening me to try to take advantage of any woman around, "Ronaldo fidgeted on his chair and stared down.

" I need that house now, it's been hours since I sat at that table, " Ronaldo said rising and following Jenny who was smiling.

" Jennie behave yourself, stop laughing anyhow, Ronaldo is not fully certified, he has his weakness, " Jack spoke out.

" What does my weakness get to do with the house, Jack you are funny, " Ronaldo replied beaming.

" I just wanted my wife to be careful, just in case, " Jack gave them this disapproving look and smiled to dismiss the whole complication.

********

" Let's go my lord, have you met my Father in law yet, " Jennie asked.

" I understand he is closed up in his chambers, he is kind of busy or what exactly is he doing there? ".

" Come on, you know very well, we are not going for a house tour, " She blinked and pushed him into one of the rooms which he deliberately followed he was after something, so he was gonna let himself be led.

They started with romance immediately, but their ordeal was cut short when Fayez pushed the door open, caught them in each other's hands, scanned them and said," I thought I saw your husband at the bar? " Staring at Jenny.

" It's not what you think it is, " Jenny explained and Ronaldo shot out of the room in haste.

" Why would you hold another man offer him your mouth and you know your status, I respected you but you are giving me these negative opinions about yourself! " Fayez hissed

Fayez was mad and not ready to listen to Jenny, why am I condemning this lady, why is the whole idea making me simmer, is it because this is my boss's presumed lover, he was with Charlotte last night, and today he is in another woman's hands.

" That man has a love magnet, when I laid my eyes on him, I was lost and confused, I needed him, I wanted him, My God forgives my manners, " Jenny begged the older lady.

" Aha, it's okay, no need to explain am not a home wrecker next time, be a married woman and stop having feelings for other men just because they look more handsome than your husband or have titles, " Fayez spat down and left, towards the bar hurriedly.

Charlotte let out almost a similar phrase yesterday, she wanted that man to do things that have never been done to her before, I blamed it on naivety, I was wrong, something is confusing and I have to get to the bottom of it," Fayez thought, she was shaking her head too and she crouched next to Charlotte, still in deep thoughts.

" What has happened to you, your face is pale, did you get a ghost?" Charlotte asked raising her chin and intently staring at her.

Fayez raised her face and shot Ronaldo a glance, and he shook his head at her like he was warning her not to say anything.

" Wow, seriously, he wants me to shut up, what a weirdo," Fayez murmured inaudibly.

" What are you saying?" Charlotte insisted.

" Am saying, when I followed them, they entered into a room and when I opened the door deliberately, This your husband-to-be was already storming out of the room," Fayez lied.

" Now why were you opening rooms you would have lingered outside, maybe he smelt your scent and gave up on his mission," Charlotte banged on the table attracting a few stares on her way.

" My God, what's the anger for?"

" He has intuitions like a fox, have you had a glimpse of his eyes?, I needed that one fault so I can speak to Grandmother, Jenny was up to something her eyes betrayed her or am I overthinking," Charlotte asked.

" You just want him to be faulty so you can fund something to get back to him with," Fayez had to keep the conversation alive.

" Ooh you think so, you think he is a good choice for me too, what difference do I hold over my mother?" Charlotte asked irritated.

"Times have changed, you are aggressive your mother was forbearance, she was never disturbed by small things, she never went against the will of your Grandmother, she didn't have to prove herself to her, she brought her up, with all the knowledge she thought was good for the empire, Your Grandmother ruled as your mother was seated next to her," Fayez explained.

" I never thought of it like that!".

" You Grandmother died twenty years ago, when you were five years old, Your mother was married at ---", Fayez was saying then Charlotte interrupted.

" Thirty years and before then, you used to bring her men to teach her ways of love, how sarcastic and acerbic, that sounds, And how old were you," Charlotte sneered.

" I became your mother's maiden at the age of eighteen, a few years before she was married or you were born, You chose me over the older woman in her ladyships house, that's why I was always on your side ever since," Fayez explained.

" All of a sudden I have become bothersome and I got lots of questions, we shall wait for the will reading, I need to go take my bath and get ready for supper," Charlotte announced.

All this time she was engulfed in Ronaldo's aura, his presence was in every nerve of her body, she could not dare look at him for every glance she dared give him, their eyes met and her body jostled with painful emotion. So when they left there was no backward or sideway glance, How do I stand him, why couldn't he have raped Jack's wife so I could have a chance to hold in stupefaction my grandmother's will".

Charlotte got into her room and thudded in bed with a bang, everything was eating her mind, if she had a way to turn around the events of this reading, she would gladly do it.

" The only fact we know about this will reading is, Your Grandmother will ask you to marry that man, but rather than going haywire with only one piece of information, relax, let's wait for more info and you can go mad trying to say no or yes, who knows the terms and conditions might favour you, " Fayez spoke out bringing out the dress for dinner, laying it nicely on the ironing board, then strides to the bathroom, turned the faucets on, when the tub was halfway full, she added some bathing salts in it and scented it, then announced the bath was ready.

" That's alright Fayez, I will take my bath right way, make sure my dress is exceptional, other than being stressed out, I want to look like a real Leader in that dinner," Charlotte, had removed all the clothes only to be left with her briefs, This woman has been around from the day she was in diapers, in her teenage days and She clothes he, Their bond was tight, there was no fearing her.

" I believe you will be the best proceed to your bath remember after you are ready, I need to be ready too, I can't be late today, I do not want to miss Mandani's special chicken," Fayez Chuckled.

" We are going to eat that and more, I just need some mutton, and I can use the extra time drinking white coffee," Charlotte replied.

" You ate a lot of bacon and Samosa at the bar, I can understand," Fayez said and set out to iron her ladyship's dress.

There was a faint rasp on the door, Fayez hurriedly rushed to the door and Ronaldo was standing there, smiling like an innocent man, he never wasted his time, he said: " Sorry for the scene you found me in before, I would like to confess that ladies are my weakness, they like me, drool for me and most of them that I meet need me, it's not a brag,am not proud but your Boss is the only medicine for this cumbersome behaviour, don't spoil for me!".

Ronaldo was speaking in low tones and even if, he was explaining himself, he was authoritative, and without waiting for Fayez's answer, he left and didn't care what she will do, or how she will react to such information, but being elder and her Maiden, Ronaldo knew she was going to protect him, this kind of ladies only say what's necessary and things that can't bring conflict inside the empire, she is her ladyship mentor and adviser.

" Who was at the door ?" Charlotte asked.," I heard something like a squeak?", .

" Maybe it was the bathroom door," Fayez lied again, the whole situation is turning her into a lying b***h, she has been dishonest with her Lady ship but she cannot say anything now until the will is read, for if it's true, the older lady chose this mannerless, ruthless guy who dares to confess his weakness for women to be her ladyship's husband then there is a fire inside the mountain, a volcano, a hot blazing fire that needs skills to be dimmed out," She thought inwardly.

" Get ready, I will dress but I will need help with my hair," Charlotte said, taking her dress and slipping it on, it fitted nicely almost hanging on her, showing her curvaceous features,, she stayed and helped her dress, Not now my lady ,who knows maybe that guy is roaming the corridor's waiting for her to dash out and he will come to invade her privacy, he seems that daring!.

" When am done with you, I can get ready knowing you are safely in the hall waiting for your mutton," Fayez smiled, zipping her back zip, and making her seat so she could brush and tend to her curly hair.

" It will be fine, I have my energy with me, just make sure no other lady is more beautiful, did you see the ladies from the Atkins Empire, some of them are young and beautiful without effort but for me, I need a little effort," Charlotte chuckled, at least she has laughed after all this silence was worrying, I wondered when she will relax and get jovial like the sweet lady she is

" You are always beautiful when you smile, look at those dimples and your glowing face, remember to appear happy throughout the dinner," Fayez advised.

" I will be more than happy, I won't show any gloomy perspective, smiles fight silence," Charlotte spoke out, showing composure and determination like a true Idris leader.

" You are ready to go explore, Her ladyship go and conquer, I will be with you shortly," Fayez said grinning, and recoiled back to her room.
