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

Bethany was having dinner at her house for the family. She hoped her son would actually be at the house this time. She hadn't seen him for a while now. He called her telling her that he was on his path of healing. "Naomi that's not the way to cut vegetables dear girl." Bethany laughed at the girl who was trying to help but was failing miserably. "Sorry my beautiful aunty" Naomi said, a little embarrassed. "I'm not very good at this.""It's okay, dear," Bethany said, reassuring her. "You're still learning. Besides, we all have to start somewhere, right?"Naomi nodded, a smile forming on her face. "I guess you're right. Thank you for being patient with me.""Of course," Bethany said, giving Naomi a warm smile. "You're like family to me, and I want you to feel comfortable here. Now, let's try cutting those vegetables again, shall we?"Naomi looked at her husband who was in the living room with Ezula. They were intensely looking at each other's eyes. Seeming engrossed in whatever the

It was the day of the traditional wedding. Everyone was already up at four AM in the morning. They had their traditional clothes on. They were all ready to welcome the new family member Clive had brought for them. There was a buzz of excitement in the air, as everyone prepared for the day ahead. Bethany had called the women and men of the neighborhood to help her everything. Even though Clive said he didn't want something big since there was a lot of people who were there to help it meant that it would be quite a huge turn out. The women were busy cooking, while the men were getting everything ready for the ceremony. Clive stood in the corner, his heart pounding with anticipation. He couldn't believe that this day was finally here.Clive's bride-to-be, was getting ready in a separate room. His hands were shaking with nerves, but he knew that this was the right decision. He had fallen in love with Clive and he knew that this was the life he wanted. He took a deep breath

Bethany was frozen, shock and horror written all over her face. She turned to David, her eyes wide. "Is this true?"David looked away, unable to meet her gaze. "I..." He stammered, but the words caught in his throat. He had no explanation, no excuse. All he could do was stand there, ashamed and silent.Mother Superior smiled triumphantly. "See? Even he knows he's guilty. Come with us now, David. You'll be punished for your crimes." Bethany read the papers she had on her hands and there it was in black and white. David had killed her daughter in-law... Her unborn grandchild. "David what is this?!" Bethany shouted. " What is this?!" David took a deep breath. "It's true." He said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I was the one who caused the accident. But I swear, I didn't mean to! I would never have hurt them intentionally."Bethany stared at him, trying to comprehend what he was saying. "But... why? Why would you do something like that?""I..." David began, but then he stopp

He knew that life would never be the same again. Never ever again. He slapped himself across the face. " You've done it again! You've done it again David Storm! You've made yourself a loner! You had everything! You had everything! A loving husband! His family... His mom, his cousin and a friend! And now you have nothing. Why do you have to be so stupid? Huh?" With these questions he fell on the couch again. His thoughts going to dark thoughts in his mind. " But would I have had the chance to get a husband? If she was still here? Maybe destiny did it. " He chuckled a little feeling crazy because he had lost everything in this very moment. The more David thought about it, the more he realized that maybe things had worked out the way they were supposed to. Maybe it was destiny, as he had said. Maybe there was a reason why his sister had died and why he had ended up with Clive. Maybe, just maybe, this was the way it was meant to be. But even as he thought this, he couldn't help
