Clive turned to look at David. " What the hell do you want?"

"Right now I want us to try to do something. I don't know what but at least try."

Clive took a deep breath. " I'm gonna regret this but I'm so tired of standing here and having an endless conversation with you. So okay, fine... Whatever." He turned to leave again but the same thing happened David stopped him this time with his hand intertwining itself with his. Clive glanced at their hands. "And what's this?"

"What do you mean?"

"David... Oh gosh! You know what I don't care! Do whatever you want."

They both walked back to the car where June and Andrew were waiting for them.

They both were staring at them. At their hands too. Question marks written on their faces. But no answers were given by neither Clive or David. They just both got into the car. Silence was in the air as the car drove off to the mansion.

Before they could get to their destination though June decided to break the silence.

    And just like that memories of a past Clive would rather do without came into his mind. "Clive!" Sarah Jay yelled at him. " You're not being fast enough". She screamed her lungs out she didn't want to give birth to their baby in the middle of the street. Clive was too busy loading their luggage inside the car and Sarah was already thinking that their baby wouldn't even allow them to get to the hospital before he was delivered. "Okay sweetheart". Clive cooed at his wife he went to kiss her gently on the cheek. Walking her to the passenger side of the car. He made sure to adjust her seatbelt to accommodate her pregnant belly. He made sure that she was comfortable before closing the door. He went to the driver's side and hopped in. "Are you okay?" He asked as he turned on the engine. He didn't want to look at her for fear that she might be having contractions already. He focused on driving instead. But his mind was elsewhere. He knew they had to be quick. Their baby was co

    "Sorry sir". The nurse said apologetically. " You didn't get hers with anything but your wife. I'm sure maybe the phone got lost in the crash. I'm sorry. " Clive sighed. He knew that the nurse was right. He hadn't had his phone with him when the car had crashed. He had been so focused on getting Sarah to the hospital that he hadn't thought about his own things. "How's the baby?" He asked. "Is it okay?" He felt scared. "What if something's wrong?"The nurse smiled at him. "The doctors are taking good care of your wife and the baby." She reassured him. "I don't have any more information for you right now. But I'll make sure to keep you updated as soon as I know anything." Clive nodded. He breathed deeply trying to get himself stable. He didn't want to be an unruly patient. The nurse noticed that he was trying to calm himself down. "That's good." She said. "Just try to breathe and focus on your breathing." She watched him for a moment to make sure he was okay. "If you need a

    " What will I tell you when you ask me years later where your mother is huh? What will I tell you my dear? " As he said those words, he felt a strange sense of peace come over him. He knew what he would tell his daughter. He would tell her about her mother. He would tell her how amazing Sarah was. He would tell her about how much her mother loved her. He would tell her that she would always be a part of their lives, even if she wasn't here with them. He would tell her that her mother was watching over them, making sure they were always safe.The nurse was still watching him with a soft smile on her face. "She's so lucky to have you as her daddy, Mr. Maxwell. Clive shook his head. " No I'm actually the lucky one." The nurse nodded. "Yes, you are. And your daughter is too." She looked at the baby in his arms. "She's a beautiful little girl. And she's going to be so loved." She turned to Clive. "Do you have a name for her?"Clive looked down at the baby in his arms. He thoug

    "But this isn't your child. I understand that this is hard for you to accept, but it's the hospital's mix-up and we'll be the ones to pay a sum to you and the other father for this horrible event that just happened. " The doctor waved to the elderly nurse. " Take the baby to her rightful father please." Clive gasped in pain as he saw the child that he had just accepted as his own get walked out of the door. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Maxwell." The doctor said again. "We're going to do everything we can to make this right. But for now, I need to ask you some questions about your wife. I need to know what happened to her. If you don't mind." He gestured to a chair in the corner of the room. "Please, have a seat."Clive numbly walked over to the chair and sat down. He felt like he was in a daze. How could this be happening? He had been so happy just moments ago. He had thought that he had a daughter. But he had nothing. He had no wife and no child. He saw that the doctor was talking but he

    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. " The doctor look

    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. He was angry that she could die in peace like that. And then he couldn't see the road because of his rage and then he saw himself collide with a small car. And that was Clive's car. That was how Clive lost his pregnant wife. Because of him. David was shivering at the guilt. He felt sick to his stomach. He had never wanted to hurt anyone. He had

    "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. "I really appreciate it." Clive smiled at Kenneth. " You willing to give me your best huh?" He teased his cousin who was always with Ezula. 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. "You two will just have to deal with me tagging along."Clive and Kenneth both laughed. "You're such a pain." Clive

    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
