A woman is running away in a hailstorm. She doesn't even care that she doesn't have anything warm on. She doesn't even have any shoes, she's just running with her all. She runs so much until she stops out of exhaustion in the middle of the snow filled road. She is breathing heavily as she cries out from the pain that she's feeling inside. "Why? What did I ever do wrong to deserve this huh?!" Why her all the time? Why did she always have to have such bad luck in this thing called life.Why couldn't she be happy and allowed to be happy for once. Why couldn't she have her happily ever after? Why did everything have to be so difficult for her? Just as she thought she had found her prince charming. Just when she had thought she had finally gotten her happiness for once this happened. Andrew turned out to be a liar... He turned out to be just like everyone else. He betrayed her.After all the promises he made her. After all the love he had claimed to have for her. He still hurt her. She h
It was Christmas Eve, and the snow was falling thick and fast outside. A lone figure stood in the street, looking up at the sparkling lights on the houses around them. This was not just any figure, though. This was Andrew, a man who had made his fortune in the stock market, and was now one of the richest people in the world. But he wasn't feeling very rich right now. In fact, he was feeling rather lonely.He had no one at home right now. He had no family he could call his. No one to love, no one to love him. Andrew's family had been very wealthy, but they had also been very cold and distant. His parents had never been very affectionate, and they had always expected him to follow in their footsteps and become a successful businessman. He had done that, but it had come at a cost. He had lost touch with his childhood friends, and he had never really had time for a relationship. Now, on Christmas Eve, he was alone in the cold, surrounded by strangers who were celebrating with their famil
May June is a single mother living with her four year old daughter Lady and her little brother Mason.She works hard to keep her family afloat but she's so overworked that she doesn't even get the time to spend with her own family.She wishes could have just one day that she could have to just herself and her family. But she knew that money was much more important than wishes. She needed to keep working.June looked at the clock on the wall of her tiny apartment and sighed. The night shift at the diner was always the longest shift. She'd been up since 5am and now it was nearing midnight. She still had more cleaning to do before she could even think about going to sleep. She put on a smile and went over to her daughter's bedroom. Lady was fast asleep but Mason was still tossing and turning. "Mase, what's the matter buddy?" she asked as she sat down on the edge of his bed.Mason peeked at her with one eye. "Buddy?" He giggled. "I'm sixteen sis not a little kid anymore. "June shook her
Andrew after a few moments of doubting himself and the realness of the wish, the old woman and the family he had seen he walked out of the private jet he had flew in to the mansion he would spend his Christmas in. The mansion he had already been in but now since things seemed to have go on reverse he had to come back to it now. "Um... Boss man". Clive the driver of Andrew's cars stopped Andrew from going into his car. "What?" Andrew asked him a little annoyed. He was ready to go see his house so he could see what he was going to do with his life now. He wanted to start with the bet immediately so he could have more time to kill afterwards. "Well sir." Clive smiled apologetically looking at Andrew. "I don't know how to say this because it might make you mad." "Well it can't be not important since you've stopped me right from getting into my car and you are stalling me from going home. " " Sorry sir." Clive licked his lips as if thinking how to tell Andrew what was on his mind."We
As Andrew thought about it. His own twin brother wasn't even close to him as his driver. In fact Andrew didn't even know where Micheal was or in what condition. Neither did he really care. His family was just there for blood relation and business related business otherwise they didn't need each other."That's so sad." Clive said suddenly. "Family is important." "I have other important people in my life." Andrew said with a smile. "I have you, my assistants and my right hand man. They're close to me. Don't worry I have a family. Just not the traditional kind." "Well that's true I guess." Clive said with a sigh. "I'm glad I'm part of your family. In the non traditional sense." "Yeah me too." Andrew said with a chuckle. "Because you really make my life much easier. And you have always been a little odd but that's okay I guess.""Hey I'm not that odd." Clive said sounding a little affronted. "Or at least not that much more odd than you." "Okay that's a lie." Andrew said with a roll of
This was the reason why Clive had come up with the ridiculous idea of telling him that his house had vanished. Because he must have known his parents were here. Why didn't he just tell Andrew then? Andrew straightened himself. "Parents what are you both doing here? In my house?""You are my son." His father said looking at him like he couldn't believe what he was hearing. "We're here because we heard from your assistant what you were thinking of doing. And we've come to stop you from making such a foolish decision. You're going to have a family of your own. The normal way." "This has to stop." His mother put in. "You need to find a woman that you love. Not just go out and buy a family. It doesn't work like that." "I do love someone." Andrew said feeling a little ashamed at how he had said that as if it felt unnatural."You do?" His parents asked at the same time. Shocked as much as Clive was too who had felt his hand being grabbed by Andrew tightly. "I love him!" "What?" His pare
"We just want to understand." His father said in a calm tone. "We want to understand why you feel the need to keep things from us. If you love a driver, poor one that you pay the salary too... That's all fine and good that's your life but why can't you tell us your parents? You know your brother is so different! He yells everything to us without us even asking. What makes you different? Why do you isolate yourself from us?"Andrew looked at his father and then his mother. They both had expressions on their faces that were a mix of concern and confusion. It was obvious that they truly cared about him and that they were trying to understand why he felt the need to hide things from them. "I never wanted to keep things from you." Andrew said slowly. "I was just scared that you wouldn't understand me or accept me." "Why would we not accept you?" His mother asked with a frown. "You're our son. We will love you no matter what." "I just... I guess I just I don't really isolate myself from
"You guys have no faith in me." The man who was apparently doctor Michael said with a small chuckle. "I am a doctor after all." "Doctor Michael!" Moses exclaimed. "What are you doing?!" "What else does it look like I'm doing? I'm taking this patient to the hospital. Now you guys don't have to worry anymore." Moses nodded but quickly didn't like the idea. " But doc the nearest hospital is far from here. Let us take you guys in our car." "No need." The man who supposedly doctor Michael said. " I have car here. Trust me she'll be alright."With that doctor Michael walked away with the unconscious woman. Alex and Moses watched him go, unsure of what to do. Should they just go on with their day? Should they follow him to make sure he really was who he said he was? They were left standing there as he disappeared from view. "What just happened?" Alex asked. "I'm not sure." Moses replied. "But it seemed like everything was going to be alright." "What if he wasn't really doctor Michael?
Chapter Sixteen It was Easter Sunday. Everyone was merry and gay in Kenneth's house. Everything had worked for good and things were happening just as Kenneth wanted them. 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
Chapter Fifteen" Baby?" David whispered to Clive's ear but Clive didn't make any motion. David shook his gently. " Clive wake up please. Honey please I know you can hear me. 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
Chapter ThirteenMivume has been working in the farm for two months. He has gotten the hang of things. He and Mine have gotten close. 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... I love you so much. And I don't want to lose you." He looked b
Chapter Eleven Ezula was laughing at his friend's antics. Juma had always been a jokester since they were both younger. He even now was still joking about everything and anything at all. 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." He said slowly. "But I think I'm in love." He felt his face flush. "I'm afra
Chapter Ten Kenneth was ready to step into the next level now. He had asked Ezula to marry him. Now there was only one thing left. To actually get married. They couldn't really get married through the law just yet since his and Naomi's divorce was yet to be finalized. " What's worrying you?" Kenneth's other half court feel him worrying even without being asked. This made Kenneth feel ever so happy. He couldn't understand how the world could hide this very person from him all this while. That he'd been searching for someone to be his own for so long for nothing. " What's wrong Kenneth?" Ezula asked Kenneth again now troubled by the fact Kenneth was not answering him. " It's nothing baby." Kenneth connected both his and Ezula's hands together. " I'm just thinking about the beautiful future you and I are going to have." " And what else, you know I know by now that you can't just be quiet for nothing." Ezula had a knowing smile on his face that told Kenneth to spill eve
Chapter NineMine was listening to the news on the radio when he heard his mother screaming. He knew exactly what and who she was screaming at. She probably saw that Mivuma was there.Before his mother caused some drama by shouting and insulting Mivuma Mine had to go fix the situation immediately."Mother, please!" He rushed to the front of the house where he could hear her shouting. She was standing in the doorway, Mivuma just inside, his head bowed, his expression one of distress. "Mother, stop."He could not see what she was probably doing but she knew it wouldn't be great. " Mom leave our guest alone please. He still tired from his journey." " Our guest?!" His mother shouted. " The one that hurt you. The one that caused you to be blind is a guest to you?!""You don't understand!" Mine struggled to keep his voice calm. "I don't blame Mivuma for what happened to me. I know it was an accident. He never meant to harm me. Please, can't you give him a chance?""No since you've decided
Chapter EightIn a mansion in Avuma village there was a young man , Mivuma was thumping and stumping his feet as he was upset about what he had to do."I can't believe I have to do this." Mivuma muttered to himself. "How did I get myself into this mess?" He paced back and forth in his bedroom, trying to calm himself down. But the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became.He sat down on his bed to calm himself down."Okay Mivu you are a mature adult that is going to deal with this thing to the best of your abilities." He understood if he didn't take this offer that was handed to him then he'd actually go to jail. For causing someone's blindness.And jail wasn't a place for someone like him. He had to do this. To get it over with and done with." Mivume?" His aunt got into the room. She checked her watch. " Why aren't you ready yet?"" You know that this is a question of your freedom. You have to do everything that lawyer you should. If he tells you to wash dishes or some
