Chapter fifteen

Noah Williams

I laid on my bed thinking about what happened today after my encounter with Mr John philp.

That little boy looked like he could pass on like my brother or son.

No there's no way I had a child especially with Mr John philp daughter who I never spoken to or even thought of been intimate with.

"You are thinking about what happened aren't you." Marinda said ,she came to my side to lay down.

"Yes I'm." There's no point of denying it.

" Noah are you sure you never hard a fling in the past..you the kind of reputation." I know what she was trying to say,how I have had an affair with girls at the past because of the romours she heard. What she didn't know was that after Victoria,I have had no other women in my bed except ones which was a one time thing.

"What are you trying to say Victoria. Don't you think if that boy is my son then I will be happy. It's mean I was fortunate enough to get the great Victoria Philip in my bed."I spat unable to contain my anger. Her jealously was getting out of hand.

"You know what Melinda,I think we both need a break from ourself. To see if we really need each other. Marriage is a scared thing,it's a huge step and I don't want to make a mistake."

" Oh now you are telling me this so you could be single and then shoot your shot at Victoria Philip. Is that it Noah?do you take me for a fool. We are getting married and that's finally."she stood up from my bed and left my room.

The nerve of this women, I'm conselling these wedding,there's no way I will get married to her over my dead body.

She was so annoying,she wasn't like this when we first met. She was gentle and sweet making me attracted to her because she reminded me of Victoria John.

Where the hell was she after ten years?.

Ring ring

My phone viberated in my pocket,I brought it out and saw my cousin Parker name flashed on the screen.

"What up bro."

"Can you believe the love of your life is back after all this years. Now know why you were obsessed with her,God she's beautiful."

" Did you call me to tell me about another's women beautiful when you are with your pregnant wife." I said laughing,parker was married to a cool lady. Her name was juilet,she knew how to keep parker on his toes. There had two children already and we're appecting their third child. I and Dicken we're the only guys in the group without children or married. Drake was also leaving a very private life far from us in Los Angeles. He has five children already in eight years.

" nope but I called you to ask if you were invited to the party. I know how close you are to me John as his best and youngest business partner. So am sure he invited you." I rolled my eyes even though I knew he couldn't see me.

"Yes I was invited,so what the big deal his parker."

"The big deal is that you will get to see her after all these years aren't you nervous. You been inlove with her since forever." He screamed and I could hear the voice of Juliet scolding in the background for screaming like a girl .

" It's no big deal noah.i have to go incase you have forgotten I had a finacee."

" I never like that bit- women ,this is your opportunity to shoot your shots at her. "

" Haven't you seen on television,she was spotted with a boy ."that resemble me." And a man who could be her husband for all I know. And besides Andrew it's been years. What I had for her was an ordinary teenage crush. Not a big deal"

" Not a big deal then why do you still have her picture hang up on your wall." I felt like I was being interrogated.

" Parker I will talk to you later, Malinda is calling my name from downstairs."

" Ok , don't forget to update  me on what happened ok."parker and his curiosity,even after all this years you will think he would have matured enough to give up on his curiosity.

I hang up on the phone and went downstairs to look for what to eat before getting ready for the party. Melinda sat on the sofa in a blue beautiful dress that huge her figure well, make up on her face.

"I have been waiting for you since, why aren't you prepared for the party yet." She said adjusting her makeup.

I thought she had left and I would actually go along. Fuck my life right now.

"I'm almost ready,I just wanted to grab a bite." I turned back to my room already losing my appetite.

I got dress in my white suit,I want to wear something different from what I have been wearing all this days to work. I looked into the mirror at my reflection. I looked good is I was being truthful more than good. My hair was gelled back,my Rolex watch attached to my hands.

I walked downstairs, Malinda was impatiently waiting for me.

"Finally I thought you were giving birth there."I rolled my eyes at her. I didn't take up to fifteen minutes getting ready.

She held my hands and lead me to limosine in force. I ignored animalistic behavior and settled in the limosine in slience.

The place was crowded with beautiful people. So many I could recognize from having done business with.

Malinda held my hands possessively shooting daggers from her eyes at any women that looked at me or said hello to me.

"Now the women we have all gathered for tonight. The queen of hearts and banks. After ten long years of hiding she has finally decided to grace us with her present." The annocer said dramatically.

" Welcome everyone to the stage Victoria Philip." The stage light shown on the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. Her white dress hug her figure like a second skin ,I felt my lips become dry at the sight. Her make up was done flawlessly with a bold red lipstick on her lips. She looked like sin and temptation. Her blue eyes popped out like the sky. I was speechless and short of words on her to describe her. She had added a little weight probably from the child she carried.

suddenly her eyes were glued to mine as she stood on the stage like she felt my stare on her body, slowing walking down to my direction. A huge smirk on her face and I felt myself lose concinousness from her mesmerising beauty.
