Chapter eleven

Present day

Noah Williams

"Baby is this dress ok?" Melinda my fiancee as me lovingly . You could see the happiness in her eyes as she stares at the wedding dress like a dream come true.

I loved Melinda like a sister but I wasn't feeling anything romantic towards her even though she had been naked in front of me. I still felt nothing for her romantically. I wasn't inlove. Not even in lust.

I was inlove with two women at once if that was possible. Victoria Philip my dream women and Victoria John whose I broke out of stupidity and till this day, I regret every letting her walk away from me. It's ten years already, I'm sure she's moved on just like me, living a much happier Life.

I haven't heard anything from Victoria Philip, the media think she's dead, everyone thinks her father Mr John philp locked her up somewhere since she was his only daughter. She only made an appearance once in her life that was her eighteen years birthday.

"The dress is beautiful Melinda, you will surely be the most beautiful bride." Her grin if possible grew wider than before. She hugged me and went into a changing room.

I was getting bored of this , after the tenth dress she changed into and me repeating the same complement I lost count. It's was either the dress is too shapeless it didn't bring out my curves not like she had any,or the dress is this the dress is that, the designer did a horrible job. I was already frustrated, feeling like pulling my hairs out.

Melinda and I worked in the same building. She was actually my personal assistant turned girlfriend and now becoming my wife. Cliche. I didn't purpose to her,she did . She kept insisting that we had been together for seven years and needed to take everything to the next step.

I looked around the shop boringly until my eyes caught the television and nearly popped out at what written on the screen.

"Breaking news,  the beautiful Victoria Philip as Just been seen arriving at the airport in her personal private jet. She was spotted with a boy and also a very handsome young man. Although we couldn't get a clear picture of them due to their large security. Is she married? Is she the mother of the boy and most importantly were has the billoniare heiress being after eleven years. "The reporter concluded.

" Noah I didn't peg you as the type that love listening to news and gossip. " Marinda interrupted me from continuing watching the television.

You don't know me at all, why am I marrying you again?.

"I love reading the news not gossip." I said to her sternly and walked out of the mall ignoring the call of my name from her.

I had more pressing matters to attend to for instance, Victoria Philip is back after all this years of me waiting thinking I could link up with her.

What about Victoria John you actually loved.

I was loosing my shit for so long and it's tiring.

I walked to my office which wasn't far from the dress shop. I walked into my office building and was greeted by the receptionist.

I said down on the office chair I had been sitting on for the past six years. I was doing well for my self all this time. I had my own personal company along with my grandfather's and my father inheritances. I even had the CEO position of the Dickens...yes his father begged me privately for me to be the heir. He said Dicken wasn't man enough to inherit the position. I still don't know why till this day.  As for Dicken I haven't heard of him for three years . He had apologise to me after a month when the drama as subsided but I told him until Victoria John forgives me that when I was going to forgive and also he was going to apologise to Victoria since she was actually the main victim not me.

Victoria John disappeared out of the face of the Earth. I tried contacting her to apologise even going as far as to hire a private investigator but it's all went to dead end. It's like she never existed at all. All the school records about her also disappeared. Except the ones in Dickens phone which was not much.

I wondered if she is married or about getting married just like me or have any children. I have been engaged to Melinda for five  years now and only slept with her once. I didn't have the heart to do it's again my heart truly belonged to Victoria John.

Then what about Victoria Philip, aren't you madly and insanely inlove with her too. She's more beautiful than Victoria John will ever be.

Beauty isn't everything,what you and Victoria John shared that night was special and unquie and can never be replaced by just admiration for Victoria Philip.

But Victoria Philip is a woman of high standard. Besides she is back to New York but where is Victoria john...maybe probably dead.

My brain and heart kept on fighting giving me an headache. I was about to scream out in annoyance and sorrow when my door got opened revealing my male secretary.  Melinda insisted I get a male secretary not a female so the female doesn't end up seducing me like how she did. Like she seduced me . I was only with her so other women could see that I was taken and no longer available. Except the Victoria's.

"Sir there's an invitation card sent to you by Mr John philp. "

I was surprised and a little taken about. An invitation letter?

"For what exactly."

"It's an invitation letter to all his business partners for a welcome party and celebration for his daughter as CEO. His daughter Victoria Philip"
