Chapter thirty eight

Noah Williams

It's been a month after the disturbing phone call I had from marinda and here I was in her parents house asking for her hand in marriage even though it wasn't given a choice to make.

I had made sure I was still in contact with my new found son xavier. I had asked Mr John philp to give my number to xavier, the  man was kind enough to do that and also went ahead to buy him a cell phone, since them before going to bed I call him to know how he his doing.

The also told me he had something important that happened to tell me and immediately and back in Newyork I should let him know or see him in his house.

My son wasn't happy to find out I travelled away from Newyork to Los Angeles. The young boy wasn't too pleased after he just found me. I wasn't happy either,I missed him and I can't wait to get back home and make it up to him.

I had no other choice but to travel and confirm if the information marinda told me was true. Unfortunately for me it was, I saw the pregnancy test results with my own too eyes and even drove to the hospital to meet the doctor who performed the test and it was true. I was speechless and still accepting the face I had two children all of a sudden,it was like my life took a drastic turn over night.

I still haven't told marinda that I have a son , I was struggling and battling with how to break the news to her especially with her pregnant State and also with us  getting married next week in new York.

For some reason she insisted that she wanted to get married immediately and it must be in Newyork, I tried agueing with her but she fainted and was rushed to the hospital. I gave up and accepted all the terms and conditions but I told her she shouldn't expect me to be faithful to which she fainted again.

She was so dramatic.

The doctor advised me her pregnancy was delecate and I should be careful of words I say and things I do around her.

Though I haven't forgotten about Victoria Philip .. Victoria John... what ever her name was. ...I mean who can I forget a women like her , nobody can. After ten years I never forgot about her so it was impossible for me to forget about her in just a month. I was secretly happy I left Newyork because I was going to lie if I said I was ready to face her before but now I think I am.

"Honey are you thinking about our wedding."marinda ask walking into the spare bedroom I was giving. I insisted on having a room of my own when we arrived, her parents were thinking we were happily married couples who share everything together.

"Yeah..."I said jamming my hands in my front pocket. I was looking out of the window thinking then she decided to interrupt me I turned my face towards her.

"Me too.. it's going to be spectacular don't you think. My dress will be the best in new York every lady out there will wish to be me. My shoes,hair -"I cut her off before she's continues her pointless rambles.

" Marinda, I have something important to tell you. " She walked closer to me spreading her arms wide to hug me, resting her head on my chest like we were inlove.

I wanted to discuss with her about my son, I didn't want her to hear it from another person mouth when we arrive Newyork.

"Yes.. baby.. what is it

.is it about my dress or my-" I cut her off again, keeping her at arms length.

"No marinda it's not about that it's about my son. "I said massaging the back of my neck. I wondered how she was going to take the news.

" Oh baby.. your son his fine , he is right here safe in my belly. "She said patting her belly with a wide grin .

"No I'm talking about the one I have with another woman when I was younger."

" What the hell do you mean by the one you had with another women when you were younger."her asked with a tensed shoulders and she gave a bitter laugh almost scaring the hell out of me.

" Yes I'm sorry,but I found out the day you called I have a child, I have a nine years old son."I said giving an apologitic smile which returned with a hard glare.

" Who is this women,it better not be who am thinking."she said and ran her hands through her hair.

" It's exactly who you thinking." Her face become flushed at my statement,her jaw clenched as she spoke the next words to me.

" Don't tell me you had a son with Victoria philp."she asked crinkling her nose and curled her lips.

I remembered the doctors words about not saying or doing anything that will cause bad effect on her body or make her faint. That's why I didn't resume back to my work ,I had to be here to take care of her.. doctors orders.

" I didn't tell you,you guessed it correctly."I said with a half shrug.

" Don't play smart with me Noah, I asked you if anything was going on between you too and you denyed it making me a fool." She screamed.

" I didn't lie to you when I said I had nothing to do with Victoria philp..I had something to do with Victoria John who I never knew was Victoria Philip."I explained trying to make her understand.

" Why wouldn't you know you slept with her it's impossible.  Wait a minute is Victoria John..is she the same women whose name you tattooed on your back." She asked, she was so observant. She has been with me for about six to seven years of course she knew about the tattoo I got the same day Victoria John disappeared from my life. Though I never told her what happened.

"Yes."

" Unbelievable..how can you do this to me,when am carrying your child..you are so heartless."

" I sorry,I never knew there where the same person,I understand if you wants to end the wedding but I will make sure you and our unborn child are well taken care of."

" No...not in a million years will that happens. You and I are still going to have the wedding of our dreams,I wouldn't give Victoria the satisfaction of winning this battle. She may have won these round but the next one is mine to win."she finishes and walked out of the room slamming the door hard behind her.

I sighed and walked over to my bed to lay down. She meant the wedding of her dreams because I wasn't looking forward to it.
