Carol left the company, Paul watched her through the window as she entered the car. He sighed a relief that, at least his mother has left for home, and he will consider what he had told him.He walked to the boardroom and started the meeting.Fifteen minutes later, Carol pulled over at the hospital. She went straight to the Mr. Bombwe's room. She found Ivana relaxing on the couch and her mind distant.Carol opened the door slowly, not to disturb her mind, and sat beside Ivana.“Huh? You startled me,” Ivana said as she turned to look at her.“I know,” she replied nonchalantly.Ivana wanted to roll her eyes, but stared at her silently.Quite some minutes elapsed without anyone talking to each other. Ivana decided to break the silence.“How may I help you ma'am, as you can see, the room is already crowded, and my father needs fresh air,” Ivana said politely.Carol scoffed, “Really? Do you think he will survive?” She murmured. “Anyway, I was here to check on you,” She Said but her voice
The connection between Mish and Mike grew so much, and they seemed to be falling in love. Although Ivana was still mourning the death of her father, she felt happy seeing her cousin happy. That's something that kept her alive.One week later, after Mr. Bombwe was buried, the will was read. Ivana was so surprised that only the cars and the mansion was left in her name. The company and all the shares were left in Mr. Wechuli's name.“This a fake will, there is no way my dad will do this to me. How is that even possible? What I know is that you merged the company, but he never sold his shares,” Ivana refuted.“Do you have some proof?” The lawyer asked and Ivana was silent.“Ivana, one thing that I know us that, your father meant we for you. He left the company's in her hands because he wanted to extend the relationship beyond profession. I heard that you were engaged to Paul, right? So, what's wrong with your soon-to-be mother-in-law being responsible for the company?” Mr. Mukhongo asked
The next day, Ivana tried walking up but couldn't. Her legs were hurting so much. Although it was not her first time, but she understood why it was hurting like that. Paul was so rough on her compared to her first time with Sammy. She couldn't imagine how it would have been if Paul was the one who took away her virginity.She was about to get up from the bed when Paul walked in with a tray full of scrambled eggs, Milk, and coffee.“No, don't get up yet. Let me help you,” Paul said as he placed the Trey if good on the table and helped get the seat on the bed.“I want you to have breakfast so that you regain the energy list yesterday. I help you bath, let me prepare you a bathtub.”“What about you? Aren't you having breakfast with me?” Ivana asked.“No my love, I already had it while you were asleep, thank you,” Paul Said as he winked at her.Ivana felt pain around her pelvic even by stretching. “You almost shifted my womb,” She cursed as she took a cup of milk and gulped down.**Afte
After another one week, Paul's leave was over, so he resumed work.Mrs. Wechuli returned to the mansion. Ivana felt uncomfortable and asked Paul if there was a vacancy in the company so that she can write some work Application.“Don't worry, before you know it we will be the owners if the company just exercises a little patient my love,” Paul said, then turned to his mother who was uncontrollably sipping milk.“You can find something to keep you busy, what do you think,” Carol asked.“Yeah, I will,” Ivana replied.“You can as well accompany your husband to work so that some other women don't snatch him from you,” Mrs. Wechuli said.“Mum, I won't let you disrespect my wife. Please, can we all get along? What changed mum?” Paul commanded.“I was just reminding her responsibilities. Anyway, I will keep my opinion to myself,” Mrs. Wechuli said, then left the table.Paul finished taking breakfast, “You can come with me to work if you feel uncomfortable.”“No, I am fine, I will stay around
It has been a month after the burial of Ivana's dad, Everything was going on well between Paul and Ivana. Their marriage was becoming a nuisance to Mrs. Wechuli. She planned the marriage for another reason and not the outcome that she was seeing at that time.Learning that Paul and Ivana had already consummated their marriage didn't sit well with her. She had an evil under her sleeve, but had no idea how she could execute it.On that day, Ms Wechuli visited the company and presented an idea about something. To Paul's greatest surprise, everyone voted in favor of their mother.“Mr. Paul, this is a good chance to groom one of our own. You will lose nothing if you agree to this,” One of the board of members said.They were trying to convince him against his will.“I need to discuss this with my wife. Our marriage is still young and there is no way you will make me agree to this. I like the idea of going for further studies, but …. I really don't give me time…” Paul suggested, but befor
The next day, Ivana woke up very early for a morning jog. Well, she felt like doing that because it had been too long before she went for morning ran. She kissed Paul on the forehead after dressing up for a jog. Moreover, she put on the headphones and plugged in her cellphone.It was a weekend, and she knew that Paul won't wake up early, as he loved oversleeping during weekends.After joking for almost one kilometer, Ivana felt so unusual in her abdomen. She felt discomfort and nausea. She slowed down and definitely stopped.‘It has been a long since I did this. Oh my goodness, I am already tired,’ She thought.She relaxed fur ten minutes then continued jogging, but the discomfort came again.‘Why am I feeling this way?’ she thought as she looked around. Fortunately, she saw a clinic nearby. She didn't know what came into her mind, but she felt like testing something.“Good morning?” She greeted the nurse. “I would like to carry out a test. I feel discomfort while I jog.”“Okay ma'am…
Paul never got a chance to go after Ivana, his mother made sure that he was so engaged in the conversation that he had to put aside Ivana's matter. Although he was feeling a sting of pain in his heart, there was no way he could have left the visitors alone. Well, they were significant both to him, his mother and the company.After close to one hour, the visitor left, Paul walked to his room, changed and took his car keys and left. His heart was squeezing in pain, and he wanted to talk to her. To be given a chance to explain everything. He doesn't remember how Sylvia got to their room and in their bed. It was like a dream to him…Ivana wanted to be alone. She closed her bedroom door and curled up in bed as she sobbed. There was no day she thought that she will be a single mother, and now that title was staring down at her. Paul's seed was already growing inside her and there was no way she can get rid of it. Well, not that she can't, but Ivana us not just a murderer. The moment she dro
It has been one week since Ivana left for her home. She never answered or replied to Paul's text messages and calls. She cried alone in her room so that she can get over it.Paul tried his level best to reach her out, but his effort was futile. His mother was always nagging him to leave the country for further studies. He fell for that nagging and asked Mike to accompany him to Nigeria for Film studies. Well, the first step of Mrs. Wechuli's plan had been accomplished. And now she was left to run the company presently that her son was not there.Sammy wanted to come back to Orange County, but his Aunty wouldn't let him.

She wished to come back to her life, but it was not At the time to do so.Life become so unbearable for Ivana, she had no power to run or to make any decisions in the company.
