Billionaire Ascendancy

She questions me as I scoff. “We may not get married because of love in the first place Ava, but we’ve learned to love each other now and it’s very hard for us to back out of the relationship at this moment! But anyway, how do you know about my relationship with you”. Her statement actually got me thinking about how she knew about us.

“You’re asking me about that? Don’t you know who I am?” She retreated at me with a mischievous grin. Which kept me curious. “If I’m right, very soon you will become the president of this Maxwell group company, and you have to be careful about everything around you, including your identity! You’re too careless about your privacy, anyone that’s planning on investigating you will easily find the information they’re looking for, and that’s how I find out about you. I know Raven’s now the president of The Black group company, and if you marry me, I’m willing to share the project that will be profitable for the Black group company, all in your sake Stefan, so what do you think?” She questions me with a smirk, as I took a deep breath.

“And who said you can talk about a Black group company like Ava? You’re so rude! You’re really so rude and arrogant! Let’s just forget about the fact that I owe the Black family a lot and for that it’s impossible for me to divorce Raven, but I won’t marry someone like you! Do you know what I think of you the moment you step your foot inside this place?” I could see the sad look in her eyes as I didn’t hesitate on dropping the unpleasant words which I know she needs to hear. “I found you very rude and unattractive the moment I set my eyes on you Ava! It’s really sad that your beauty couldn’t interest me”. I let out the words to her, close enough that she could hear me clearly but the next thing I heard was the sniff of her nostrils.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I thought I could keep up with the fact that you’re the heir of Kendrick, your grandfather and Agree to marry you but I guess wrong, you’re just a moron commoner everybody had always known you to be! You’re always the same Stefan! You act so childish and behave so immature”. With such words being said with a whimpering tone of her, she walked away. I let out a deep breath as I sat down.

I can see I’m pretty upset with how our conversation ended! I had no choice! I didn’t want to back down on the deal I have with The Late Alexander Black! I didn’t want him to see that I didn’t fulfill my promise of taking care of Raven and staying by her side at the end. I just wanna stay loyal to them and learn how to make them trust me. Now my plan is to help Alexander fulfilling his last wish by making Raven to become a successful president which I know she will. I want her parents to be proud of me and no matter what it takes, I know I will surely earn their respects one day and make them adores me. But for now, I can’t reveal my identity to them! I need to keep it low! I need to become the president of the Maxwell group company First before letting them know my identity because then, I will have enough evidence which really prove that, I was the president and besides, I can’t wait to see Raven today after work. I’ve really miss her a lot and had hoped I could see her very soon. But now, we still have Three Hours to go before going home.

I happily drove home, hoping to see Raven and ask her about today work but she wasn’t back yet. I greeted mother on my way to my room which she responded and that got me thinking. I lumbered to the bathroom with a deep regret on how I had talked to Ava earlier, what if she report me to grandpa and how I had talked to her? I guess I was too harsh on her with my words, I should have been more careful with the way I spoke to her but anyway she deserves it. While in the bathroom taking my bath, my phone keep ringing which got me thinking of who could be calling me by this time of the night and a thought came to my mind which brought happy memories to me. What if it’s was Raven’s Calling? With Such thought in my head, I hurried up with my bathing and quickly wrapped the towel around my waist, heading to the bedroom to pick the call. But my countenance suddenly turned pale the moment i notice the call to be the one of my grandfather. Ohhhh shit! I yelled angrily, as I hit my leg in frustration. I know Ava must have reported me to grandpa.
