CHAPTER 250:SHE IS NOT FAMILY.

"I don't know, who are you asking? Am I his body guard or something?" She retorted.

"What ?mum, why are you answering me like that?" Paul asked surprised then chuckled as he said to her,"I am sorry for asking but mum, Ivana is there and she is family. Can she take over the position until I return?. Infact you don't need me when she is there, she will do perfectly," Paul suggested.

"What! She is not Family how can you say like that yet you are divorced?,"She hollered.

"Divorced? Who divorced who? When? I have never divorced Ivana," Paul said surprised as he shifted in bed.

Mrs Wechuli scratched her head as she tried to think what to tell him."I didn't mean that, the thing is you left her here not in your house but in her house so to me you are divorced,"Mrs Wechuli said.

She had to think of something faster before she breaks the heart of her only son. 

Paul sighed a relief then said," That one can't Change anything. Remember I was not in good terms with her when I left. But I guess she is okay now, mum I am suggesting for Ivana to take over," Paul examined.

"No, I can't do that! I can't work with her son."

"But why mum, she is your daughter in-law, I know Ivana have the capability to perform..

" Stop it will you? I won't allow that to happen I have my own reasons," she said cutting him off.

"Why?Are you hiding something from me mum?"Paul asked politely. "If you can't tell me why Ivana won't be the chairman of the company until I return then I can't help you. You can find your suitable candidate for that position," Paul said then hung up as he laid on the bed on his back.

Mrs Wechuli was very surprised, that for the first time Paul was disagreeing with her. She was used to when she suggests or says something that would be the final because she always know that Paul was going to do what she asks him to do.

"This is very strange you have started to grow horns? I will cut them short if this is how you will be when you come back," she murmured to herself as she stared at the screen of the phone.

She was wondering how she was going to convince his son so that he comes back in the country. Paul is right about everything, Mrs Wechuli was the one who forced him to go back to school and study. 

Back then when Paul wanted to continue with his education after highschool level. Mrs Wechuli had told him that they already had money and all the wealth so their was no need for the education. Money and wealth was everything to her, she never cared about knowledge because she grew up knowing that money can do anything on this world that knowledge cant. To her money is everything and even can buy the happiness in her world.

'I have run out of the the blackmail, I know right now that no blackmail will work on you. You have been exposed there in Nigeria,' She thought as she looked at her mobile phone.

'Why can't you just understand that I am doing a this for you. You are the one who will end up with all this at the end. How can I tell you that I can't take Ivana as a chairman because I stole this company from her?' she smiled to herself sheepishly as what she did come back rushing in her mind.

How she had tricked Mr Bombwe into signing those papers and transferring all his share to her name unknowingly. She applauded herself for being clever, something that surprised her was how she believed into Mr Mukhongo to keep those papers for her.

True to herself, she was a fool into trusting someone else with something private like that. Despite the fact that they had worked together into taking that company to themselves, she wished she would have kept the legal papers to herself.

So the legal documents will be the rise and fall of her. Now that she had acted out of emotions and reported Mr Mukhongo to the investigative police. How sure is she that Mr Mukhongo won't give out her secrets?. She wanted to be prepared fully that when he strikes her, someone else will be there to take over the company. That person is none other than her son, Paul Wechuli, the only heir to the Wechuli's Wealth.

So she decided to call Paul and tell him the lies that she will have to think of during that conversation.

After the call he had so many questions in his head asking himself why his mother refused to take Ivana as an interim Chairman for the time being, then when he returns back in the country he will take over?

After five minutes, his mobile phone rang again and Mrs Wechuli was the one calling. So he just decided to pick up so that he can hear her explanation. But already in his heart he was starting to have doubts about everything. Doubts about his mother, he didn't know why or how but everything started to feel funny.

So he picked up the call on the third ring but he didn't speak first.

"Hello son, please don't be angry at me, I have my own reasons why I am doing like this I hope you can understand me," she said with a polite voice.

Paul scoffed then said, "Mum I am  your son, and you can tell me anything that you have deep down in your heart."

"You won't understand right now son, you know you are the only child I have. I love you so much that's why I don't want you being away from me for that long. Just come back and take over the chairman seat please," Mrs Wechuli begged.
