Billionaire Ascendancy

After a successful day, I went home but on my way to the house, I saw Katherine who was heading to the backyard so I decided to follow her up and know what she was up to only to see her and uncle. Uncle was currently smoking a cigarette as he expressed his anger to grandmother who had questioned him on the reason why he failed her. “You need to get hold of yourself Richard! You can’t be looking like this! What do you think people would think of you if they saw you in this state smoking cigarettes? What do you think they will see you as, they will probably see you as nothing but a bad influence to the young generation”. I heard Aunt saying that to him as I sighed. “You know I don’t actually do this often, mother! I’m just smoking and drinking to let out those pains I’m battling with! At least after this I will have the strength to face those that were part of my downfall. “Who’s that? I Heard aunt questioning him as I sighed deeply. I already know the person he’s trying to refer to right now.

“Stefan”. My heart skipped at the mention of my name as I let out a deep breath. Damn it! Why would I even forget that since I have contributed so much pain in his life today and for that, I’m not certain that he would forgive me or even try to go slow with me, I could see that my bully will continue from where it stopped but this time around I could feel that it will be more worse. “What do you mean Richard? How did Stefan contribute to your pain? I heard Aunt questioning him as he sighed. “I have noticed that Stefan seems to know lots of people in the Maxwell group company! Apart from that everyone respected him as if he was the president”. Shiver ran down my spine on hearing Richard’s words and retreated my step backwards, going away before they would catch me. After hearing their conversation about me, I told myself that I was going to be more meticulous and vigilant about my identity so they wouldn’t figure out who I am. I don’t think this is the right time for them to know who I am. I will reveal myself to them when the right time comes but not just know! I went to my room to take my bath and freshen up. I was really so tired with today’s work but at the same time it was fun because I was able to fulfill the promise I made to Raven so I guess by tomorrow, she will be going to work, as the president of the Black group company.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

I didn’t bother checking to see if dinner was ready since I had eaten already, I was about to hop into my bed and sleep when I Heard a knock on my door. Without a doubt I know who the person was. I know the person was no other than Raven, if the person wasn’t Raven but any of the family members they would have bang into my room without knocking. “Come in!! The door opens revealing Raven who was in her nightwears. “food is ready Stefan! I thought you might be Hungry which is the reason why I have come to remind you so you wouldn’t sleep with an empty stomach tonight”. I had to deny that I haven’t eaten even though I did eat with some of the colleagues before coming. I couldn’t reject the fact that she do Cares about me and if I disagree to come with her now, it could actually Hurt her feelings. “Sure Raven! Thanks for coming to remind me”. I beam with a smile then follows her. My heart skipped in shock on seeing my uncle at the dinner table. I could see his wide big flaring eyes rotating at me the moment my present was known. “Was this useless man still here? I thought you’ve agreed to divorce him Raven ”. Uncle shrugged at Raven in disgust, always and probably referring to me.

“It’s high time you need to accept Stefan as a member of this house uncle! He’s my husband and it’s my decision if I want to leave him or not so please, don’t bring the divorce case again because it’s already been close”. For the first time in a month, Raven defended me in front of everybody and called me her husband. I couldn’t help but continue to stared at her in disbelief as I sat down to eat the scrumptious meals in front of me, but unknown to me, I didn’t know that uncle had been targeting me since because the moment I opened the plate of my food, a green snake run over it as I stood up immediately and run away from it. I wasn’t a fan of snakes so I don’t get why uncle thought threatening me with a snake would be a better idea. They all burst into laughter the moment the snake tried to chase after me but Raven held the snake from the ground and placed it on uncle ‘s body. “I’m sorry Stefan, I wasn’t aware that they exchanged your food for this snake over there. Raven apologizes as I smile at her. “It’s okay Raven! I currently understand why uncle is doing this to me! I think it’s because of what had happened back then in the company.

“What happened”. Katherine asked as I spoke Those words. “You remember what I told you earlier, mother, Stefan was part of the security teams of the Maxwell group company that made me suffer and blacklisted me out”. Katherine gave me a dangerous gaze while waiting for my explanation which I thought of for a while then explained things to him. I showed Katherine the record I had done and he wasn’t impressed with the actions of Richard who had fallen on his hand in the presence of so many people. “I didn’t do anything in the actions and judgment they’ve given to you uncle! As you’ve always said I was a moron, so how’s it possible that a Moron like me could get to make a decision which could change someone’s life uncle”. Think about it”. With my motions, I was certain that I would be able to convince him. I couldn’t stand anymore to see his annoying character so I went to my room, regretting why I had come here to dinner with the raven upon knowing they would be there. And not quite long, Raven carried a tray of food to me Room saying that she just prepared it for me and wanted me to eat it but I couldn’t. I have lost my appetite for it. Ravens do understand my point and apologize to me for everything that happened.

“Is there something wrong Raven?” I noticed some moody countenance in her face and was forced to ask her such questions. “I don’t know if you will have the chance to follow me to the family company tomorrow! I just need someone on my own to remind me of how brave I am because I won’t be able to stand to lead people on my own, which is the reason why I’m pleading with you to escort me tomorrow”. She asked me politely and I had no choice but to accept her offer. “Sure”.

“Thank you so much”. I heard her whispering as she walked away with a smile. I’m sure she must be so happy to hear my reply. I lay down on the bed daydreaming on how tomorrow was going to be. I can’t just wait to see uncle, and that was to see him mourn in pain over the family business he couldn’t inherit.
