"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 Thirty One

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

Chapter Thirty Two

"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

Chapter Thirty Three

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

Chapter Thirty Four

But something about the woman's demeanor had made her uneasy. She decided to keep an eye out, just in case. After all, she wanted to make sure everything was okay with her son. "Aunt?" Kenneth went to his aunt. " What's up? " "Nothing." Bethany shook her head faking a smile for her nephew. She walked back to the dining table. She smiled at everyone. " I know how you all think I'm crazy for wanting Clive to be back. I know he needs space. That he still needs to grieve his his wife and child's deaths but I can't help but want my son back you know." She had glass tears on her eyes. Kenneth was quick to give his aunt a hug. " It's okay aunty. It's okay." Bethany hugged her nephew back, tears streaming down her face. "It's just so hard." She said, her voice shaking. "To see him so lost and in so much pain. I just want to be able to help him, but I don't know how."Kenneth held his aunt for a long moment, letting her cry on his shoulder. "He's lucky to have you." He said, his voi

Chapter Thirty Five

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

Chapter Thirty Six

When the guests finally left and Bethany went to retire to bed Kenneth's mischievous smile came to play. "I wasn't joking you know. Now let's actually party like the young people we are. There's a club I know nearby. Let's go celebrate there." "A club?" David asked, a little unsure. "Are you sure that's a good idea? We've been drinking and dancing all night. Shouldn't we just go home and get some rest?" "Nonsense!" Kenneth said, shaking his head. "We're still young and full of energy. And besides, the night is still young. Come on, live a little!""I don't know..." David said, looking at Clive for support. But Clive only shrugged and said, "I'm up for it if you are."With that, the decision was made. They were going clubbing. They all went to change. Changing into casual clothes and they put away the traditional clothes they had on for the wedding. Naomi stood at the doorway of her bedroom with Kenneth. " I don't really feel like going out Ken." Kenneth was now a littl

Chapter Thirty Seven

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

Chapter Thirty Eight

Clive smiled, and took David in his arms. They kissed again, their lips meeting in a soft, sweet kiss that was full of promise. They began to undress each other slowly, savoring every moment. There was no rush, no need to hurry. They were taking their time, enjoying every second of this special night.As their bodies were revealed, they gazed at each other with awe and wonder. They were both beautiful, and they both knew that this was something they would never forget. Their bodies moved together, as if they were made for each other. As if they were created just for each other in this whole wide world. By a creator that knew that they would melt together like nothing else. Time seemed to stand still as they explored each other's bodies, their skin touching like a thousand tiny electric shocks. It was as if they were in a bubble, cut off from the rest of the world. There was nothing but them, nothing but this moment. And it was perfect.They came together, their bodies moving i

Chapter Thirty Nine

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
