CHAPTER 5: ACCIDENT

After leaving his mansion,he arrived to Luhyahood dream company. The employees were busy with their work in their respective offices. When he arrived to his office he made himself comfortable like a new king being crowned to take over the kingdom. He was full of energy, a knock come on the door,his secretary come in to inform him that the legal team want to discuss with him about the new recently signed contract. He signaled her to let them in.

" Good morning CEO Bombwe" the legal team greeted him in unison.

" Sir we have a problem with these contract, l think you made a mistake by signing it yo- 

"Which mistake?" The CEO butted in and asked. " I think l read everything every clause before signing it ,he paused as he pinched his brows, l think you are the one who are supposed to go through any contract before bringing it for signing?"

"Yes sir,but these contract was brought to us when you have already signed,so l thought you read it clearly before signing l don't know if you agreedy to give a half of your shares to them before signing?" One of the legal team asked.

" What ? I mean which contract are we talking about here?" ' holy shit let it be not the one am thinking right now!' he thought.

"Sir you can check it out yourself" they gave him the contract.

Mr Bombwe took the papers with trembling hands. he perused through the papers and realised that he is loosing the company to some greed woman. His eyes bulged out of the socket as he reality downed on him,he sat down and held his head in his palm.

" Did you confirm with their legal team,l think these is the wrong contract!" The day l signed it... He paused as he tried to remember ' Just sign here so that we can finish these and by tomorrow l will have deposited the man. I just want your daughter to marry my son that's all'  her voice echoed in his head.

A thin lines of sweat were seen on his forehead. That woman,that woman tricked him,how foolish. A sign that will cost him everything he ever worked for his sweat,his dream,his daughter he forced into marrying that bastard because he wanted his company to thrive again. That night he only read the top page and the last clause that stated the consequences if he breaches the contract. He didn't read all the damn papers.

He picked his phone and called his driver. He going to confront that woman, shameless greed woman. This cannot happen under his nose. ' My daughter will divorce that man,she can't Marry into these kind of a family with these kind of Mother in law' he thought as he entered the elevator.

The car door was already opened for him. He sat in as he gave the instructions to his driver for his destination. The car accelerated to the main road upon diversion a lorry was coming from the opposite direction moving like a lightening,it crashed into their car and pushed it until the reached river sio bridge. Two guys from jumped from the lorry removed the number plate and run away. Leaving the victims to bleed to death. The driver died on spot. One of the pedestrian called the ambulance as they rushed Mr Bombwe in the hospital. 

Mr Bombwe was rushed to emergency room to operation room. The good samaritan picked his phone and checked the call logs. Their was only his driver he checked the phone book and saw the profile pick of Mr Bombwe and a young woman he dialled it.

"Hello ,hello da.....Ivana was cut off before finishing.

"Come to Bungoma county referall your dad have been involved in the accident."

"Accident? What happe....

"Hey ,Maria  where is Wanyama, l want him to drive me to the hospital" Ivana said to the maid.

" Ma'am are you sick , l don't know.... 

" Never mind l will drive myself there my dad need me" Ivana said while searching for the car keys  he realised that she didn't come with her own car. She came with a cab.

"Wanyama,where are you  l want you t-  Ivana yelled.

"Yes ma'am am sorry l was eating lunch l didn't mean to make you wait.  He apologized

"Drive me to county referring hospital,hurry up" 

Yes Ma'am he bowed.

On reaching the hospital Ivana enquired at the reception as she was directed where her dad. Being a daughter of a tycoon,everybody knew her.

" Nurse,nurse how is my dad,how is he doing,can l see him , l was called through his phone that he was involved in... an... accident"  Ivana broke down asshe spoke.

"Relax miss,we are doing everything to save your dad,don't cry he will be fine. We have just finished an operation,he had severe injury in his head. The operation has been succefull but he is unconscious and currently in the ICU. Excuse me " the nurse left.

She has no strength left as she slammed her slim body on the floor.

"Boss we have finished the job assigned we are waiting for our payment now. ..hehehehe boss if you have another job we are always available.

"Hope you did a clean job" she asked .

"Dont worry he won't survive Boss,he lost a lot of blood " they said.

"Did you clear the scene,l don't want to be implicated ,wait for your other payment" Mrs wechuli ended the call.

'Now l am the full owner of that company,l will control the entire company,My son will be taking over now, l need a good plan now' Mrs Wechuli thought.

Back to the hospital,lvana sat on the couch as she cried her eyes out she didn't know what she will do if she loses her dad. They didn't finish their talk,why is these happening to her,she hopes her dad will survive this.  

" Ivana ,Ivana.... " Her aunty called out Mrs Mukhongo.

She rushed to the hospital when she saw the news that Luhyahood CEO has been involved in the accident. She didn't call Ivana because she knew that she is not in the position to answer the call she needed support ,she needed her now than ever.

" Oooh Aunt thank you you are here,Aunt my dad ...dad ... She hugged her as she cried.

"Shhhh... I know baby girl am here" Mrs Mukhongo hushed her.

" Ivana where is your husband?" Mr Mukhongo asked.

"Which husband uncle? Oooh Paul l don't know uncle...l.havent seen him since morning" she answered him.

"What about your mother in law,did you call her? " Before Ivana could answer a voice come from the hallway and everyone turned to look at her. 

" I am here who want to see me? " Mrs Wechuli asked. " Am so sorry Ivana l was not here as soon as l heard the news,l was somehow busy but thank God l am here now".she said.

Mr and Mrs Mukhongo "......"

Ivana just nodded to her and turned her eyes back to her Aunt. She didn't want to talk anymore she has no strength left. ' if only l accompanied or l followed my dad to the company maybe these accident couldn't have happened'. 

***

Paul was busy in the office,he wanted to finish any pending work to cover out the day he will be away. He didn't have time to check his phone,so he didn't have any idea what is going on.

His friend Mike learned about the incident when he saw it on the internet. He decided to confirm it from a reliable source.

"Hello Paul where are you mehn" mike voice from the other end.

"Thank you for calling me mehn but you are disturbing me now,l will appreciate when you end this call hahaaa" Paul answered.

" What do you mean you are busy,haven't you heard about the news?

"Which news Mike?"

" Are you kidding me ?,your father in law have been involved in the accident,you mean you haven't heard?"

" What the fu**k,what happened? Like l don't know anything,

" I don't know Paul ask your wife".

Paul ended the call and friend calling Ivana but she never picked up. He decided to call his mother to ask which hospital he was in.

He accelerated the car to the hospital. Everybody was present except Mish and him. He didn't know how he gonna explain it Ivana .He composed himself for courage to approach her. He reached out to hug her when she pushed his hands away.

"Ivana am sorry, l was so busy l didn't know what have happened. Mike is the one wh... " Ivana cut him off before he could finish.

"Ooh really,? Thank you for coming you can leave now l don't need you, everytime mike this mike that...go be with Mike or be busy with wom...

" Ivana !watch your tongue,my son is trying to be nice here,can you give your husband time to talk? Mrs Wechuli quarrelled.

"What mum?,husband?!... Ooh yeah husband only on paper she mumbled, now l don't need any disturbance these is a hospital silence should be observed". She walked back to where her Aunt and uncle were.
