Andrew sat there in the waiting room thinking about what his brother had said. Was he scared? Was he afraid of seeing the woman? Why did he feel like he had to see her? Why did he feel like he had to help her? What was it that made him feel so responsible for her?

He stood up and made up his mind. He had to go see her.

"I'm going in." He told his brother. "I'll call you afterwards."

"Good luck". His brother said before he ended the call.

Andrew made his way to the receptionist. "Hi." He said trying to look composed. "I'd like to visit the woman who was brought in here a few minutes ago."

The receptionist gave him a small smile. "Are you a relative?" She asked politely.

"No." Andrew said a little embarrassed. "I just found her on the road and I feel responsible for her."

The receptionist considered this. "I can't give you any information on her."

Andrew sighed. "I know that. But can I visit her?"

"I don't think so sir. She was just admitted. I think the doctors still need more ti

    May June looked at the window of the small apartment she had. She didn't know what the future was for her and little family right now. But she knew that the decision she had made was the right one. Since he had found them here. A place she had thought would be their hiding place forever. June had to find another hiding place now. "Are you serious about this June?" Mason asked for the fifteenth time that day. "I mean we could still fight this while we're here. We will win. Who does he think he is anyway? He's just a criminal that thinks he's mighty!" " Shhh!" May hushed quickly. She didn't want Lady to be woken up by anything. Especially now that this was about her daughter's father. " I told you to not talk like that. We shouldn't speak ill about anyone. Even him." Mason groaned. Muttering under his breath. " Why do we have to leave though because of him. Why is it always us huh? Can't it be someone else that's in this problem?"May thought about that. " Well I remember someone ca

    "You must be very successful then." May said, a little impressed. She tried to hide it but it was probably obvious. "What else have you invested in?" "Why don't we get a coffee and I'll tell you." Andrew suggested. "Would that be okay?"May was tempted. She didn't know why but there was something about Andrew that drew her in. But she couldn't let herself be weak to emotions now. She gestured to her brother and daughter. "I'm sorry I have a family I can't really go drink coffee and leave them.""It's okay." Andrew nodded. "I get it. Family is important. Why don't you and your brother come over to my house? I'll make coffee and we can all sit and chat. I'll order pizza or something. I don't mind your daughter being there. I like kids." May hesitated. "I don't know..." "I promise I'm not going to bite." Andrew said. "I'm not going to be weird. I just want to get to know you. I understand if you're uncomfortable with the idea. It's fine."This should have been where May ran. As always

    "I'm doing great." Andrew said, turning his attention back to May. "And you look stunning." "Thank you." May said, feeling her cheeks turn red. "So, um... where are we going to have lunch?"Andrew smiled gesturing to the living room. "I never actually use it. But I heard pizza goes good with some tv.""That sounds great!" May said, relieved that they would be eating in a casual setting. "I'm starving." "I'm starving too." Mason said. "And I've been craving pizza all day." "Then we're in luck!" Andrew said, leading them to the living room. "I've got pizza from three different places." "Three different places?!" Mason asked, sounding excited. "What kind of pizza did you get?" "I got one that's just cheese and pepperoni, a veggie pizza and one that's really gourmet." Andrew explained feeling a bit proud of himself as he saw Mason's reactions to what he was saying."Gourmet?" Mason asked, intrigued. "That sounds fancy. And what about the drinks? Are we having wine?" "We can if you w

    The house was lonely. Without the liveliness of that had it the night before. Andrew wished he could go back. To that fun. The listening of the crazy, highly intelligent teenage brother that raved about everything. And the little fairy that May had as a daughter was just sweetest,she was telling stories about her school, her friends and the teachers. It was lovely. Spending time with May and her family. Her family. This felt so bittersweet to Andrew. She wanted that family and May herself to actually be his family. Forever. But why was he so drawn to the beautiful smile that May had? Only God could really know. "You're up late today." Clive commented as he walked into the living room Andrew was sitting in. "Had a late night. " Andrew said with a smile remembering the day before. "Ohhh!" Clive clapped his hands. "With whom? That beautiful lady?" "Yeah. " Andrew nodded and added, " and her family. It was really nice. I don't even remember when I had such fun in entire life. I fel

    Just then, May stirred. She yawned and stretched. "How long was I asleep?" She asked, looking around.She wiped at her eyes and she stared at Andrew as if shocked to see him there. To see herself on his chest. She jumped up as if she was burnt. "Oh my God sorry!" She nervously looked between her brother and Andrew as if asking the both of them what the reason was to have let her get so comfortable. "It's okay May. You got here emotional and from what Mason here has told you have every right to be emotional."May looked at Mason who was looking everywhere but her. "Mase?" May asked, gently. "Are you okay?" "Yeah yeah." Mason said, fidgeting. "Don't worry about it." "No. I know you Mason." May said, putting her hand on his arm. "You wouldn't have told him everything unless you were really worried. What's wrong?" Mason looked at her. "It's nothing." He said, lamely. "Mason." May said, her tone firm. "You can tell me.""Of course I'm worried May! That man is back in our lives now. Si

    June wakes up in the morning, her eyes slowly fluttering open as the sunlight streams in through the large windows of the bedroom. For a moment, she forgets where she is, but then she sees the luxurious bed and the high ceilings and the ornate furniture and it all comes flooding back. She's in Andrew's mansion, the home of the man she met a few days ago and who has already made such a big impression on her.A memory comes rushing back to her, of her mother telling her the story of a princess who lived in a castle with a prince. She remembers her mother telling her that she would one day find her own prince and her own castle. June laughs to herself as she looks around the bedroom, thinking to herself that maybe her mother's words were coming true. Maybe this really was her castle, and maybe Andrew was her prince. But she knows it's too soon to tell.June gets up from the bed, the sunlight bathing her skin as she walks over to the window and looks out at the view. The trees are swaying

    His memories of bad memories coming out in his head. Memories of someone that he would rather never remember. He didn't to but he got himself going back in time in his mind. Going back to one of the worst days of his life. One of the most horrifying moments of his adult life. One of the most cruelest things had been done to him on that day. He was in the middle of the room. His hands were on his head and he was crying as he thought about what he had just seen. What he had just witnessed. "Oh please!" The woman in the room with him spoke out as if seeing his emotions as overreacting. "You should calm down go have a drink or something." " How could you tell me that?!" He angrily shouted at her. " What kind of person are you?!" The woman with red lipstick just laughed at him . " Oh my God you're such a big baby. Just look at yourself please. You're a big time CEO please act like it." Andrew shook his head disagreeing. " No I'm not a CEO or anything but a father

    Andrew turned to face her, his face etched with pain. He gently removed her hand from his shoulder and looked into her eyes. "I loved you too," he said, his voice breaking. "I loved you more than I've ever loved anyone. But you betrayed my trust, and I don't know if I can ever trust you again. I can't stay here, I can't live in this house with you. I'm sorry, but I have to go."He turned away and started walking again, his footsteps heavy on the snow. As he was about to reach his car, he stopped and took a deep breath. Then,before he knew it as he was about to open his car dooe, the car that was parked outside of the house he heard a scream and a crash. He turned around to see that his wife had ran herself to a passing her that hit her immediately. He rushed to her side, panic coursing through his veins. She was lying on the ground, her eyes closed, her skin ashen. He felt for a pulse, his heart pounding in his chest. "Please, no," he whispered, tears welling up in his eyes. "Plea

He wanted to give Ezula the world and he was starting little by little. "The meat is getting grilled here!" Clive shouted excited as he walked to David who was busy with the meat. "I didn't know you were this crazy." Andrew laughed at his driver as he took another swing of the beer. He and June had been invited by Clive to come join them for the holiday. And they gladly agreed. They flew to the quiet village to honour Clive's invitation. Andrew was more than happy to see more of Clive's family. It was something he had yearned to see for a while. That and the village Clive had been fond of so much. He could see why. The place was beautiful. With beautiful people. It was very intriguing place just like the one that came out of it. It explained a lot about Clive's personality. "Clive". David shivered as Cliv

I mean it's six AM you're awake at this time so don't pretend with me please. Wake you Clive." Clive still didn't move. His eyes were still closed. His back facing David. David frowned. " So you really won't wake up huh?" David got up from bed he walked to the other side of the bed where Clive's face was facing. He knelt with his knees on the floor and leaned towards Clive to give him a kiss on his forehead. He couldn't kiss him though because just when his lips were about to reach Clive's forehead Clive decided to change sleeping positions. Instead of his side now he was sleeping on his back. David blinked, his mouth in a twist as he knew that Clive was very much awake but just toying with him. Any other day David would have had the time for Clive's games. But he truly didn't have the time

    Chapter Fourteen" Baby calm down now." Kenneth kept on pleading Ezula who wasn't giving him a listening ear. " Okay I admit that I actually went overboard this time but it was necessary my love. It truly was." Kenneth had again tried to make Ezula's family understand how much he loved Ezula but yet again after a while of trying, two months in total he had only gotten insults from Ezula's aunt and uncle. They threw him out every time he tried to talk to them. It had gotten to the point that he had even tried to call Naomi for help but Naomi wanted to do nothing with him for a while so it was obvious she would pick up his phone when he called. Ezula had told him to stop a long time ago. But he refused. He really wanted to prove it to Ezula's family how much he loved him. Even his own parents had agreed to their love. Now only Ezula's own family was left. Kenneth was so desperate for Ezula's family to see how much he loved Ezula. He wanted them to approve of their relationshi

He has come to understand Mine a bit more and he thought Mine understood him a bit more too. They had their own unspoken code together. They were comfortable with each other. Mivuma was done working in the farm for the day. He was sitting on the stoop of the house now. He was a bit sleepy, he had his head on the door frame. His eyes were closed. He was about to drift off when he felt cold water splash on his face. He jumped up gasping. He saw Mine's mother with a bucket. She looked at him with hatred. " You think this is a hotel or something? Get the hell up and start working!" Mivuma was so confused. " What did I do wrong? I was just at the farm. I have worked!" The mother scoffed at him. " Don't talk back to me, you ungrateful boy!" She snapped at him. " You're supposed to work even after the sun goes down. You get your food and a place to st

    Chapter Twelve Clive was shocked when he saw David in the house when he opened the door. There he was, his husband was sitting on the living room sofa. Watching television. His eyes looked at Clive. His face had a smile on it. He ran to where Clive was standing. He hugged Clive. " I missed you!" He kissed Clive's chin since he missed Clive's lips. Because Clive had moved them from David's reach. David still had a big smile on his face. Seemingly didn't notice that Clive was not interested in anything at the moment. " You just left. I don't even understand why you left. You up and left me as if I was nothing. You didn't even tell me that you were coming here." " So?" Clive had his arms crossed around his chest . " So what? I left because I needed some space. Is that so wrong?""No, it's not wrong." David shook his head. "I know I can be a lot to handle sometimes." He looked down at the floor. "I just...

He was just a jolly guy. Always happy all the time. " Stop!" Ezula couldn't laugh anymore. He felt like he'd burst if he tried to. "Okay, okay." Juma laughed too, realizing he might have gone too far. "I'll stop. I promise." He put his hands up in surrender. "But I just can't help myself sometimes." He gave Ezula a sheepish look. "You know how I am." " Oh my God". Ezula smiled holding onto his stomach. " You've made me laugh so much." Ezula looked at Juma really looked at him. " Dude there's something different about you. I don't want but it's very present. What's up? " Juma hesitated. He hadn't meant to be so obvious. He'd tried to keep it to himself. But it was hard to hide. "I don't want to ruin your mood."
