Chapter twelve

Victoria Philip

"Victoria all the preparation are ready for tomorrow." My father said walking into my room. I had sat on my bed Indian style, my laptop placed on my lap , I was going through numerous of files. I had to know everything about the branch at Newyork before I start work. From the staff to their performance and how much there were been paid. Yes I just came today and I have already started walking. There's no time for slacking in my dictionary.

I was a workaholic and that made me who I'm today. My efforts and passion made me the women everyone is dieing to be. It wasn't easy,it's comes with a large sacrifice which hard-work, dedication and focus. And  I'm doing just that.

"Ok dad, thanks." I replied him but my eyes were glued to my laptop still focus on my work. The amount of work to be done was much and I don't have time to wastes.

" Victoria am taking my grandson for shopping. He doesn't have any suit so I want to get him the best. I'm not asking you,just telling you." I rolled my eyes at him. My dad always get what he wants. Xavier and my dad has gotten closer and bonded like never before in just a minute. Xavier smiles more now ,I have never seen him smile at me but at other people,the nannies that took care of him. He never smiled at Andrew too.

Maybe if you put more dedication on your son rather than your work the poor guy will actually smile at you.

" Yeah yeah whatever." I spoke nonclantly. It's was his father fault for turning me into a cold heartless bitch.

" Victoria you have to start behaving like a mother to this child. I didn't train you like this. To act like a bitch or a spoilt brat. This topic isn't finished we will discuss later."he walked out of my room shutting the door. I let out a sigh in frustration.

He wouldn't understand why I do what I do. Nobody will. Until my revenge has be done.

Mr John philp

I held my grandson by the hand as we both walked into the shopping mall. We got an ice cream first before heading to the mall.  He was bouncing happily pointing at different things. He resemble someone I had seen before but I wasn't so sure. The resemblance was uncanny. Brown hair and deep forest green eyes. I can swore I have meet someone with that look but the question was where? and who?.

"Grandpa I have never been out for shopping before." He said in a sad tone. I felt my heart breaking at his words. What has Victoria done to his innocent child what was so bad that she had to take out all her anger and frustration on this innocent boy that had done nothing wrong but choosen her as a mother.

I could hardly recognize my sweet daughter anymore. The women in my house wasn't my kind and caring daughter I knew and trained but a cold heartless women that cared nothing more about work and making money. Not even her only son.

I have to find out what happened ten years ago. Why she's like this and who did this to her. What happened to make her agree to go to London after all my failed attempt for her to go but suddenly she agrees.

"Don't worry son from now hence forth, I will get you all you want and need. Just ask me ..ok." I said lovingly to him, patting his soft brown hair. The poor boy has never been showed love. I have to step on the father and mother role for now until I find his true father. Not that man that my daughter brought to my house to decive me with. What his name again. Anger?

" Does that mean you will be my daddy. Mummy said that daddy doesn't want me , that I wasn't good enough for him ,that why he left."my handsome grandson Xavier said sorrowfully. He was so smart for a nine years old and unbelievably handsome.

Why would Victoria say all these horrible things to this child. When her mother left me for another man,I was poor, miserable and heartbroken. I didn't know what to do with my life but that didn't stop me from loving and caring for her like a father should. Hasn't she learnt anything from the norms and principles I taught her.

"No Xavier I'm not going to be your father because your father wants you don't mind your mother, she's just sad and lonely from being away from your father." I said trying to console his ,I didn't want him to hate his mother which I doubt wasn't already happening.

"Then were is he grandpa,why doesn't he want to see me. "

"He his far away but soon he will be back to start a family with you and your mother and you both will leave happily ever after." I said to him. He nodded his head in response. My poor boy.

We walked into the mall and immediately I was greeted by the manager.

"I need a  nice suit for my grandson." I said to the manager . There brought of different sizes and colours for Xavier to try on.

" Hey Mr John philp. Pleasure meeting you here. I didn't know you liked shopping" someone interrupted me .

A familiar voice of my very hard-working and promising business partner called. Noah Williams stood with his fiancee. He was a billionaire just like myself but not as rich as my daughter.

"Actually it's for my grandson son Xavier." I said back to him.  Xavier shyly stood behind my leg hiding but came out when he saw Mr Noah Williams smiling and waving at him.

"Hello sir." I looked at my handsome grandson and smile then looked back at Noah to see he was still looking at my grandson weridly.

I looked at both of their appreance,both of them had brown hair and green eyes but what really stood out was both if them were unconsciously bitting their lips at the same time.

Then it clicked in my head, Noah Williams was the father of Xavier my grandson and no DNA test was needed for me to confirm.

But the question is how,why and when.

Only Victoria has answers and I'm going to find out.
