" perfect," she said as she stared at herself in the mirror smiling. she was clad in a long white gown with matching heels and moderate makeup.
" I am so sure that when Jack sees me, he would not be able to resist me, okay, so Jack I have something to tell you... I am..." She was trying to rehearse what she would tell Jack when a call interrupted her,
" For God's sake, are you not done? It is past ten minutes already, we have a long day ahead of us ' The caller said impatiently, that should be Chris..she muttered.
" Of course, I am almost there I am on my way out already, just that, I got hooked up with something"
" Just be fast, today is your boyfriend's birthday and I bet you would not want to be late for such an occasion '
He said and hanged up.
" You can do this, Naomi, do not be scared, just let out your mind, tell him you have good news for him, tell him you are pregnant.. wow, so I am finally pregnant for Jack, I am carrying a Matt..' she said running her tummy tenderly.
I better not keep them waiting,..she muttered and with one last look at the mirror, she left the room in high hopes.
She saw a black SUV car waiting for her..why do I feel like something bad is going to happen? She muttered again.
" Hi," Chris said as soon as she entered but just as she was about to reply to him, Tom put a drugged handkerchief in her nose and made her pass out...

( The Matts apartment,7:30 pm )
" I wonder why my friends and my babe are not here yet," Jack thought as his hair was being styled in preparation for his party.
" Sir, " his chauffeur called him jolting him out of his thoughts.
" Yes?"
" Should I go pick up Miss Naomi since you said by seven pm, I should pick her up and now it is past seven pm "
" The thing is I have been trying her contact to know if she will be around but her number is not reachable at all and I am kind of confused because it has never happened before, my party will be starting in the next one hour and her number is still not reachable " he answered worriedly.
" Young master, probably something came up, do you not think so or she does not want to bother you, probably she switched off her phone or something "
" Maybe but you know what, I guess I will agree with what you said, maybe something came up or she does not want to bother me, anyway, you can leave " he muttered sadly
What if her parents are the cause of it this time around? What if they seized her phone? What if .. gosh, too many questions, what exactly should I do now? Should I just go over to her house or what? What do I do, I am getting worried, my heart is beating faster than normal, he muttered
" Sir are you okay ?" One of his stylists asked.
" What is your business if I am not okay Huh? Just do your thing and get out of here, not just interfere in just anyone's business "
" I am sorry sir "
" Sorry for yourself "
He decided to call his friends to tell them what exactly was going on but their contacts were not reachable.
About an hour later, his friends arrived.
" Is Naomi around ?" Tom asked calmly No, I have been trying her contact since morning and you guys too, where have you been ?
" Of course we were preparing for your party, you expect us to just come like that without preparation and besides, you said you have been trying her contact? Hope it is not what I am thinking ?" Chris asked .
" What ? "
" Maybe she does not want to come , you know she might have an important place to attend to or.. " Tom ...said
Jack scoffed.
" If you have nothing to say, Tom, just keep your mouth shut or I shut it for you, what are you saying? I know Naomi too well, probably her parents are the cause of what exactly is happening right now but an important place? Nah, forget it, Naomi can not do that knowing fully well it is my birthday "
" Are you sure of that ?" Chris asked again.
" Of course, I know the kind of lady I am saying, she is not a wayward girl, her parents might be the cause, just that I am too scared of them or else I would have gone over to her side since morning "
" But your party is starting soonest, what will you do? " Tom asked.
" What should I do? That was why I kept trying you guys contact, I do not know what we should do because her parents might be the cause of all this like I said earlier but whatever it is, she needs to be here "
Chris smirked,
" Should we go over to her side ?"
" Chris, the party will start anytime from now and you are telling me this? Seriously? That is not possible any longer "
" Probably accept your fate that she is not coming tonight and stop being paranoid, anything could have happened, okay"
"I am not being paranoid right now, I just want everyone to know who she is "
Seriously? My first love? Do you want the whole world to know who she is? Chris scoffed inwardly.
" Young Master, the party has started, someone said interrupting them.
" okay just give us five minutes, we will be there okay?" Tom told the person again.
" We should leave now, you would not want to be depressed on your day, you can ask her the reason later, I am sure everything is fine and in perfect control"
Throughout the party, his mind was not at rest because of Naomi.
