The doctor could see that Clive was in a very dangerous place. He was consumed by anger and grief. He knew that he had to tread very carefully. "Mr. Maxwell, I know you're angry and hurt right now." He said. "But you need to take care of yourself. Revenge won't bring your wife and child back. You need to focus on healing yourself, both physically and emotionally."

Clive looked at the doctor, his eyes burning with rage. "How can I heal when I have nothing and no one to live for. " He smiled a frightening smile pointed at the doctor. " I'll be just fine."

The doctor didn't believe that. He was about to say something else that he thought would persuade Clive from the quest of revenge but two nurses ran into the room.

"Doctor! There's a patient who's badly wounded and he's asking about you by name! Please hurry. "

The doctor still looked at Clive reluctant to leave him alone to his own thoughts.

"Doctor Jeffrey!" The nurses were persistent. " This man needs you. "

    Doctor Jeffrey wasn't sure if he could trust David's promises. He had already shown that he was willing to use violence to get what he wanted. But he had to play along, at least for now. "I understand that you're concerned for the man's well-being." He said. "But I can't give you any more information. I'm bound by patient confidentiality." He hoped he sounded convincing. "I hope you understand."David glared at him. "You're not making things easy for me." He said. "Do you know what I can do to you for this continuous disregard for me? I can make your life a living hell. Now tell me what I want to hear!" Doctor Jeffrey felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that David was serious. He was in a very dangerous situation. He had to think of something, fast. "I'm sorry, Mr. Storm." He said. "But I can't give you any information. I'm bound by the law." He was terrified, but he had to keep his cool. He had to stay calm. "I know you're upset, but I can't help you. I hope you understand."

    He had been thinking he was doing something nice for one of his workers who was on sick leave. So he thought he could just drive the truck the man was given by his company to deliver the goods. It was going to be a little surprise to the man. He had wanted to see him shocked when he got to work to see all his work done. But then David had gotten a call from his secretary telling him that his senior nanny had died. That she had died peacefully in her nursing home. And that made David mad. He was so mad that the woman that had caused him so much pain could just die like that without even one sorry to him for how badly she had treated him.

    "That's great, man." Ezula said, a genuine smile on his face. "I think that's a really good idea. And hey, I'll come with you if you want. Just for moral support."Clive smiled back at his friend. "I'd like that." he said. "It would be nice to have someone with me.""Absolutely." Ezula said. "You don't have to do this alone. We're all here for you.""Thank you." Clive said.

He never left Ezula out of his sight so it was going to be a treat to actually see his cousin release Ezula to him. Kenneth laughed and playfully punched Clive's arm. "I'm always willing to help you out, cousin." he said. "Even if it means leaving my best friend behind for a bit."Ezula shook his head and rolled his eyes. "I'm not going anywhere." he said.

    David was coming out of his therapist appointment. He was about to leave when he saw someone that felt like a ghost to him. He kept on blinking. Trying to actually figure out that it was who he thought it was. It was still him. Clive was sitting in the waiting room chatting with another man. Clive looked up and his eyes met David's. For a moment, neither of them moved. They just stood there, staring at each other. The air was thick with tension. The other man in the waiting room cleared his throat and stood up. "I'll, uh, I'll come back later." he said, and he quickly left the room.It was just David and Clive now. The silence was deafening. Finally, David found his voice. "Clive." He said, his voice shaking. "I... I..."Clive stood up and took a step towards David. "It's okay." He smiled at David confused that the man knew his name. " Yes?" David opened his mouth but nothing came out. He suddenly realized that Clive didn't know him. Clive didn't know that he was the one that ha

    "What happened?" Ezula asked, sensing that David needed to talk about it. "If you don't mind sharing, of course."David took a deep breath. "My nanny died in her sleep peacefully the doctors say but I really wish she had died in a car accident instead." He said, his voice a little shaky. "I know it sounds awful, but I can't help but feel like it would have been karma if it happened like that.""It's not awful." Ezula said, his voice reassuring. "It's just human. We all have these complex feelings about the people in our lives. Especially the ones who have hurt us.""It's just... " David began, but then stopped feeling he'd say too much if he started now. "It's okay if you don't want to talk about it right now." Ezula said, sensing that David was uncomfortable. "You don't have to share anything you don't want to.""Thanks." David said, feeling a bit relieved. "I appreciate that. I'm just not ready yet.""That's perfectly okay." Ezula said, a gentle smile on his face. "You can take

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.

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

" 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

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?

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.

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."
