CHAPTER 82:ANY LEAD?

FAST FORWARD.

Ivana tried to her best of knowledge to take back the company from Mrs Wechuli but all of her efforts were futile. She didn't have enough evidence to show that her dad never transferred the shares to Mrs Wechuli. She didn't know how to prove that a the legal papers her mother-in-law presented during the board meeting were fabricated papers. She didn't have any evidence to start with. All she had was hunch of feelings that she used to connect dots.

"Hubby, can you help me find atleast a lead that can help me take back the company?,l don't know why l still havefeelings that Mrs Wechuli snatched it illegally" she said turning to look at her husband still lying in bed.

"Wifey, ...l .. really don't know how to handle this. You know you are both important to me. I don't want reach a point where l will have to choose between my mother and you, my wife"

"What do you mean by saying that? What l need is...is just that l want a small piece of evidence that will lead me to everything, after that l will do it my self, can't you do that?." She asked him.

All this time Paul was on his phone, she didn't even know if he heard her or not. 'is he ignoring me or what?'she thought.

She came out the bed then went straight to the bathroom. She dressed up in a minidress,applied a little make up and lip gloss on her lips. She looked herself in the mirror. After being satisfied with how she was looking like ,She picked her clutch,went and stood in front of her husband then said. "Don't worry about it, l will do it myself. I am going to visit my cousin Mish"

"Can you wait for me, l will drop you on my way to work. Or you can tell my driver to drive you if you are in a hurry" Paul said to his wifey.

She rolled her eyes then said " l will drive myself, l already told you that l will do everything by myself" before exiting their bedroom.

'whats wrong with her, she is changing bit by bit, does she knows something that l don't know?'

"Wooow Ivana you finally remembered us" Mish said standing up to embrace her. She embraced her Aunty then sat down.

"Will mind have breakfast with us?"her aunt asked.

Aunty Elizabeth poured tea for her.

"Siz how have you been?" Mish asked Ivana. "It have been long since we saw each other.You have gained wait, Siz, are you thinking what l am thinking?" She joked.

"Oh Mish please stop it, you like pulling my leg everytime l visit you. I think l am still the same size girl, hahaa"

"Yes, maybe but my eyes is seeing something different. I think marriage is a bed of roses to you, l need to get married to" Mish said excitedly.

Phewt! Aunty Elizabeth almost choked on her tea. After hearing what her daughter said.

"Not so fast baby, whoever told you marriage is a bed of roses lied to you. Marriage is not a bed of roses and even if it was, roses has thorns."

"Mum l am only joking, don't worry l know mine will be a bed of roses"

They finished their breakfast and started conversing about random things. Until Ivana told them the reason of her visit. 

"Aunty,Mish l came here with a purpose of looking for any piece of evidence that can give a lead to the company. As you all know that the company collapse after Mr Mzee pulling out his shares and it's still in her hands."

"Yeah when that Sweetheart" her Aunt said.

"So l need your help in search, l think l will search in my room then Mish you will search in yours then Aunt you will help me search in my dad's room. You know l don't want to go there, l don't want remiscing about him." Heavy Sighs..... I hope aunt you are okay with that?"

Her Aunty nodded and ach of them went to the room they were supposed to search. Since she always had  key to her room. She opened it and memories about that room came back running in her mind.

"Dad will you please ready me a story to slee?."

"Ofcourse my princess, dad will just do that after tucking you to your bed"

The voice echoed in her head, she was still standing at the door. She had avoided searching in her father's room because she didn't want the room to remind of him. But now here she is remembering her father in her own room.

"This memory will do me no good, l better do what brought me here" Ivana mumbled to herself then moved in the room.

She went straight to her drawer where her important documents are. She opened drawer after drawer but the only documents she found were her school certificates. Her birthday cards from her friend, cousin and dad.

She opened the last drawer but it was empty. "Strange, l don't remember leaving this drawer empty" She talked to herself. She returned everything back to the drawer and closed the door. She went to Mish's room to check on what she have got.

"Mish have you found anything that can help me?"

"No, Ivana just the house documents and jewelries, what about you?"

"My drawer had only school certificates, nothing concerning the Company, l don't know if Aunt had found anything, let's go"

When they arrived downstairs they found Aunt Elizabeth there.  "Aunt did you find it?"She asked before she could descend all the stairs.

"Actually Ivana something is fishy, l found the drawers opened and empty. The only thing that were there is your dad's branded watches and suits in the wordrobe with customed shoes. Were you the one who emptied the drawers?" She asked.

"No Aunt, l have never entered that bedroom since the day l hurried my father. I remember correctly those drawers were locked. The day l closed that door and left the key on the stand.
