Chapter 42It was taking forever, I looked at Park who was fast asleep. He was looking tired so I decided not to wake him. I have a lot I wanted to ask Leo, a lot to tell him and probably ask him if it was a good idea to fall in love with Zee. I watched and was surprised to see so many of the doctors busy with one patient or the other. I marveled at the work they did and wondered if I could ever find myself working as a doctor to save lives. The fluorescent hummed each time I paced up and down. I have never prayed for anything in my entire life. I don't believe in the existence of God.But tonight, I prayed. Clenching my hands in a prayer mode. I knelt down on the tiles and closed my eyes. I said just one word which I believe God was going to listen to. “ Oh God heal him. I know I don't believe in you but please.” I said, opening my eyes at the loud noise I heard coming from the theatre room. I saw one of the nurses coming out. “ Talk to me. Is he alright?” I asked anxiously. Par

Chapter 44The morning sun flutters through the curtain. I stirred lazily on the bed. I remembered what happened and immediately signed towards my cell phone.The call rang for a few minutes before one of the guards picked it up. “ Where the hell are you? Did you not hear that I called?” I barked. “ Tell me Leo is alright?” I asked. My heart slammed hard against my chest.The line remained static and then I heard him. His croaky gentle voice. “ Ain't you supposed to be at school, Mr Hayes?” Leonard said from the end of the phone.I sigh, a wave of relief washing over me. “ I needed to make sure you were safe. Do I need to come down to the hospital?” I said immediately hitting the shower.“ Of course not, I believe the men here are more than capable of their duties. Get to school and study.” Leo replied. I was about to hang up the call when I remembered what Leonard said the other night. I decided to ask him. “ What do you mean by what you said the other night?”“ What I said? What did

Chapter 46“ Did she give you anything?” Park asked, staring at me. “ Yes, she did make me an offer. She gave me a tape I didn't bother to check.” I said truthfully. “ Where is it?” Park asked “ Back home but first I need to be sure Jessica is with me on this.” “ And Zee, is she cool with whatever you are doing? I mean, you are going against Nathan not to mention the fact that you just caught Tessa red-handed. What are you going to do about the video?” Park asked I needed to think that the video shouldn't get into the wrong hands, and also I needed to show Tessa's father. “ What about showing it to Clinton? I am sure all will be forgiven.” I said assuringly “ And what if he doesn't believe you?” Park asked I pause, “ you mean he won't believe what is right in front of him? Don't make me laugh.” “ Touche! Videos can be edited, Adrian. What if Nathan claims you have something to do with it? What are you going to do then?” There was a long pause between the both of us. If I was n

Chapter 48“ Did Nathan do this to you?” Zee asked, staring at my bruises. I laughed it off and grabbed her hands mid-air. “ It doesn't matter, Zee. This is just a boys' fight. You don't need to worry yourself over things like this,” I said, smiling.“ What? You are my man and I won't have a boy beating your ass every time.” Zee said in anger. I looked at her face and burst into laughter. “ Is something funny?” Zee asked, staring at me like she had said something wrong.“ No.”“ Then what is it?” She asked, staring at me.“ I have never had anyone fight for me or even have the thought of doing so,” I said before looking up at her. “ You are the first person to tell me that.”Zee felt emotional and she grabbed my hands. “ Tell me something, Adrian.” She looked into my eyes. “ Do you love me?”That was a shocker right there. I was not expecting it. I remembered how we had met. “ I don't know what I'm feeling right now, Zee. Do you think what we feel for ourselves is love?”There was a m
