"Mr Brown",John Parker smiled as he called out an elderly man
" Nice to see you again, John. You looking younger than ever. Mrs Parker's doing a great job. You have such a wonderful family".
"Hah. Thanks for the compliments, you're looking goo too, Peter " they both continued their discussion.
" Hi Vanessa", holding a glass a wine, Van turned around to take a look at the person who called her.
It was him, her first crush, David Brown. She had always seen him as a big brother. He's 6 years older than her. They attended same college then went into different university as he went to Oxford to become a neurological surgeon.
"Hi David, it's been a while since I last saw you", Vanessa smiled. Holding her right hand which he kissed slowly "you're looking more beautiful as the day passes, I hope I'll be honoured to have this beauty by my side".
Vanessa could feel her heart skip. She thought he forgot about her, she thought he only liked her as his younger sister. She never told him how she felt all these years. She had made a mistake. He wouldn't want her anymore if he finds out she's pregnant.
You're back to continue teasing me ", she withdrew her hand from he's.
" No, I'm here to ask you to ask you to marry me Vanessa's. Be my wife, my woman, the mother of my children". He knelt down on one knee with a ring in his hand. The crowd was stunned as their eyes were on them both.
"Say yes", Kim walked in, he just arrived. The party hasn't even started properly and he witnessed such scene.
Van looks up to see Kim's handsome face. He was just too good looking. She remembered the first night she had with him. She remembered this morning encounter with him in her office. He takes her breathe away. She loses control of herself when he's around her. Why can't she get him off her head? Her long time crush is asking her for marriage and she still thinking about this man. She's such dummy.
"Yes I will", wait what? What just came out of her mouth? She didn't even think before talking. She was lost in her thoughts about Kim. The last thing she heard was him telling her to say yes and she did not realising what she had said yes to.
The media was present, the crowd, her parents, Mr Brown, she can't go back on her words. But the thing is that she's pregnant for the man applauding. She can't marry David. She doesn't want to hurt him.
"Congratulations ", the crowd applauded as there was also huge smile on Mr Parker face. He shake hands with Mr Brown and gave a happy hug. He has always dreamt of this day. Mr Brown is the Senate president of the country and with this alliance he could be at another level of power and influence.
The party officially started...
Classic music was being played as the MC called on the Vanessa to dance with the director from Tan Cooperation.
On the dance floor....
"So you accepted another man's proposal with me witnessing it. You even let him kiss your hand." Kim grab tight, her slim waist while he whisper into her ears. Does he know you're my woman? Does he know I made love to you number of times? Is he aware you're having my child?
"Stop it, this baby isn't yours. I've told you before. And besides you're in my past, David is my present as and I'll marry him." She tried to free herself from his grip but she couldn't.
He's hands loosen from her waist down to her butt grabbing it tight
"Get your hands off me, we're in public someone might see us".
"I can't. Look, I'm hard down here already, I can't control it. You got me jealous now I want you. I want to taste you again, I'm hungry for your moans, I want to hear it in my ears. I need you Vanessa ". Kim pleaded.
" No, I'm pregnant".
" It won't hurt you or the baby. I promise I'll be gentle" he had desire in he's eyes..
He witnessed the scene. David saw everything but he couldn't hear anything as they were far from him.
On the phone...
"Hello,get me information on the director of the Tan group, Kim Tan. Find out his relationship with Vanessa Parker. Dig in and get back to me ". Putting he's phone in his pocket he looked up to the dance floor, he didn't see them anymore.
Where had they gone?" Did you see Vanessa leave?"
"No sir".
"Find her right away "
" Yes sir", the bodyguard panicked as he alerted the other bodyguards for the search.
David didn't want to alert anyone in the party so he told the guards to search without being noticed.
"Where is she? Where could she have gone to? God damn it that idiot, Kim is not here either, arrgh" he boiled in anger
