Some of the students in the hall who were hanging by the corners rose to their feet and were soon dancing with their dates.Ken held Jane by the right arm and led her to the center of the stage. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and was soon lost in her eyes.Jane was dressed in purple silk that had an opening on the bag. The dress was a long one. It stretched to the soles of her feet and looked tight in her but didn't after her motion in any way.They danced for a few minutes before the disc jockey changed it to jazz music. Some of the exhausted couples left the stage to catch their breaths but there was no stopping for Ken and Jane.

Ray increased the volume of the television and stood next to Ken with a smile.Ken's eyes were glued to the television. A health report was ongoing and the main focus seemed to be Raspberry Hospital.The corners of Ken's mouth stretched in excitement when he heard the comments coming from the health correspondent."The hospital began operatio
His Ascension High sort doctor
After eight long hours of standing, sweating profusely, and taking deep breaths, the surgery conducted on Mr. Miles Dwanye, the man with the brain tumor was successful.The operation was carried out by three doctors. Mrs. Dwanye had asked Ken to lead the operation so the moment Dr. Odonnel arrived at the hospital, she was greeted by the information to which she subscribed.However, Dr. Oddonnel wondered why the patient's relative will request that a young doctor with barely enough experience be entrusted to the care of her husband when they were enough experienced hands on deck.After the surgery came to an end, the exhausted doctors told the nurses to wheel the man to a private ward after they were satisfied with his system and ensuring he was stable.Ken moved to a corner and took off his gas blue scrub. He was sweating as hell and his back was aching. He rested his back against the wall and began taking off his gloves like Dr. Brown and Odonnel were doing.Dr. Odonnel strode to Ken

Ken wiped his drowsy eyes with the edge of his palms. He abruptly sat up and turned off his alarm."Bloody hell!" He muttered under his breath and quickly snatched his phone from the table.Now that he was practicing medicine, he couldn't tell how his day might turn out at the hospital owing to the series of emergencies and complex cases he was faced with.He dialed Jane's number and when she didn't pick up, he lowered the phone to his chest with a frustrated sigh.He went for the portrait of Jane standing on his table by the left.

Ken tried to call Cassie's phone number but again, it wasn't going through. He tried calling her line several times but it wasn't going through.He dropped the phone to his lap and threw his head backward. He was growing lonely by the day.He could tell that his job at Raspberry was influencing his life thereby affecting the people he cared about. There was Cassie who he was barely in touch with on one hand and there was Jane, the love of his life who he felt he was being unfair to her."Maybe you should give her a call." Ray hinted and cleared his throat loudly.Ken sighed. He knew Ray was asking him to call Jane."Her voice might make you feel better.""Well, I might just try," Ken replied and decided to give her a call.He dialed Jane's number with eager eyes cast on the screen, hoping she would pick up the call but she didn't. He lowered the phone to his chest and flung a question at Ray."Do you think maybe she's mad at me? She's not picking up her calls."Ray took a sharp turn.
His Ascension All eyes on her
Ken was about to step into the hall when someone forced his way through the crowd and slammed the door behind him.It was Mr. Cameron, the hospital's secretary.Soon, more employees were charging toward the hall entrance to catch a glance at the woman.Mr. Cameron cleared his throat loudly and urged the crowd to pay attention. "I need you all to stay calm. I promise you all that everyone will get access to the hall but right now, it's best if we don't act like a bunch of excited kids. Let's allow our guests to settle first.Ken was beginning to sweat. Some of the nurses were surrounding them while a large number of the other employees and interns were obstructing his view in their bid to get into the hall.After noticing that the crowd would not calm down easily, Mr. Cameron turned around with a sigh and finally pushed the door open.The hospital staff rushed into the hall like a pack of wolfs that had just been released. They charged toward the open hall with enthusiastic faces while
His Ascension Same jane, different personalities.
Ken was about to take off her spectacles when she grabbed his right hand.Everyone was watching with astonishing eyes.With a bright smile, she mumbled. "Let me do you the honor."She released his trembling right hand and watch him lower it to his lap slowly.She took off her dark shades and shook her head, causing the strands of hair that had covered a part of her face to clear off.She was now visible. Not just to Ken but to everyone."Jane!" He gasped and began to stagger backwards.From the moment she spoke, his senses picked up the voice as Jane's but he had his doubts until she spoke again.Ken tried to speak but no words came out of his mouth. He was stunned beyond words and his lips were trembling."Impossible!" He spat as he stared at the woman standing before him with a dropped jaw.When he saw her black silky hair, he wasn't sure whether she was his Jane until curiosity moved him to take steps toward her, and now that she had taken off the spectacles shielding her eyes, he
His Ascension Heartache
Two days earlierJane stared at the cup of vanilla ice cream in her left hand and the plastic spoon she was clutching with her left hand. She was putting on a long face and even though she didn't engage in any physical activity, she was feeling drained.She sighed and threw her head backward. She concluded that she was feeling that way because she was emotionally drained.Jane had phoned Ken that morning but Ray ended up picking up the call, stating that he was going to get the phone across to Ken and leave her a message.7 hours later. Ken didn't call or texted her and to get away from the feeling of anger and disappointment he was feeling, Jane grabbed a cup of ice cream from her refrigerator but now that she was staring at it, the desire to consume it was gone.She was sprawled on the carpet in her room, clothed in a loose evening gown. She went for her phone and dialed Ken's number. There was no response. She lowered her head.With a clenched jaw and a frustrated sigh, she flung t

The New CEO , A grand party!
2 pm!Ken smiled when he saw the limo pulling toward his apartment. He had been waiting outside for about ten minutes. Jane promised to show up by 2 pm so they'll hit the airport. Their flight was scheduled for 3 pm that evening.Jane stepped out of the vehicle clinging to a brown leather handbag. It was a large bag that contained some spare clothes and other items. Since Cassie's reception was scheduled for 6 pm that evening, it was evident that they were going to spend the night in a hotel so Jane came with luggage.Ken walked up to Jane and took the bag away from her. "I thought you wouldn't show up."She smiled and wrapped her arms around him. "Oh come on Ken, you know I wouldn't do such a thing."He smiled and led her into the house. They crashed on the twin couch in the living room."I'm so happy for Cassie," said Jane.Ken turned to Jane. "You don't know how excited I am for her babe. She has been looking forward to this day and I can't wait to see the excitement on her face. I

The proposal
Ken and Jane kept exchanging mischievous glances. She could see the uneasiness in Ken's eyes. She gave him an assuring blink and darted her gaze to her father.Ken watched the non-verbal communication ongoing between father and daughter. In a flash, Jane rose to her feet and Ken's eyes widened in horror.Was his basic support system about to leave him? He couldn't imagine sitting opposite Mr. Carter without her.Jane turned to the tensed Ken with a warm smile and the look that says 'Relax!'"I'll be right back." She said and began walking away from the dining.Ken collapsed on the chair and couldn't take his eyes off Jane's departing figure. Mr. Carter called his attention by clearing his throat loudly. He sat up, turned toward the CEO, and displayed a sheepish grin.Soon, domestic staff smartly dressed in their uniforms traced their way to the dining majestically carrying food trays and tea jugs. They began to set the table while Ken's eyes were fixed on the stairs, patiently waiting

The breakfast
Ken waved at Jane after she stepped into the back seat of the Range Rover that had come to pick her up from the restaurant. It was a few minutes to 9 pm and their chit-chat was over. Ken sighed and strode to his Lamborghini. He stepped into the car and zoomed off.While driving home, Cassie kept calling but Ken couldn't pick up her calls. His wireless Bluetooth wasn't in the vehicle and there was no way he could pick up the call while he was driving so immediately after he drove to his parking lot, Ken grabbed his phone and dialed Cassie's number.He stroked his forehead several times as he waited for her to pick up the call. They haven't spoken much lately and he wouldn't want to miss any of her calls. After she explained to him that she was occupied with the responsibility attached to her handing over as CEO, Ken Gave her space so she could adequately prepare."Hello!"

King Carter!
"You are glowing tonight and I must say that you've been glowing a lot lately." Mr. Carter remarked. He was seated in the living room downstairs and was going through his phone when Jane stepped out of her room.She waved her hand down. "Oh come on dad. What are you saying?" She stared at her shoes and flipped her hair, wondering whether she had invested so much in her look that night.Her father cleared his throat loudly and blinked at her. "I must say that love is a beautiful thing. I'm glad it's making you glow and step up with your appearance." He said and broke into a laugh.Jane shook her head and aimed for the exit. "You are so funny, dad. I always dress to kill. Meanwhile, have fun till I return.""Have fun Jane and stay safe!"Jane traced her way to the water fountain where her chauffeur was waiting for her with the Range Rover. She sat next to him in the front seat and he drove away.It was a few minutes past 7 am and Jane was certain that Ken was already seated in the VIP l

Big announcement
Ken kept shifting his gaze from the door to the files littered on his table. It was Monday morning and he was already seated in his office. This week, he'll be only handling administrative tasks.After Ray pulled the car to a halt in the parking lot earlier, Ken kept searching for one of the vehicles that usually drop Jane at the hospital but none was in sight. It was evident that she was yet to arrive at the office.He stared at his wristwatch. Should he give her a call? He sighed and darted his gaze from the door back to his table. He had just spent about twenty minutes in the office so Jane might be on her way.Ken shook his head and continued going through the papers before him. He wondered why he was feeling like a teenager in love even after being with Jane for three years. He had spoken to her on the phone about a hundred times during the weekend and still didn't get enough. He was hopelessly in love.A few minutes later, the door to Ken's office was pushed open. He let the pen

Jane stared at the phone screen and shifted her gaze to Ken. "It's my father calling. I think I need to go." She said and flew to the bedroom.Ken hurried after her. He wanted to pull her back, tell her to stop, and spend more time with him but he knew it was impossible to do that. Her father must have noticed her absence and was probably worried.When Ken got to the bedroom, he met Jane hurriedly slipping into her clothes. He grabbed her bag and went for her shoes under the bed.He helped her wear her jacket and ensured her buttons were in the right holes. "I'll get the car key." He said and left before she could speak.Jane sighed and shook her head. Ken seemed excited and she knew he was going to be sad when she turns down his offer to drive her home.He returned to the bedroom waving his car key. "I'll just grab my shirt," Ken said and moved to the closet."I just called my driver!" Jane spat.When Ken turned around, he caught her waving her phone.He arched a brow. "I thought I w

"This whole revelation is driving me insane!" Cassie remarked after taking her head into her hands.Master Yohi sighed and reached for her hand. "You must stay strong Cassie. I understand how hard it is for you."She turned to him with a fierce look. "How do you expect me to stay strong or act calm? I can't believe I've been living with a liar all my life. After I confronted him, he told me that he knew Ken's parents from a distance and since Ken had no guardian, he was entrusted the right to the boy's property till he was of age.""Your father lied to you. His younger brother Trent, handed the papers to the company to him the week he died. I think his brother knew that there were a couple of bad men on his tail and no one knows why.

Ken rose to his feet and pointed a cheerful finger at Jane. "Before you tell me about the men in your life, I'll go grab us some snacks.""Okay!"He placed a kiss on her left cheek and before heading into the kitchen, he mumbled. "I'll be right back!"Jane fell back on the couch with a warm smile. After speaking to Ken about her past, she felt as if a huge burden had been lifted off her chest. She hugged herself and breathed the fresh air that she was ready to take in. If she had known that speaking about the whole thing was going to be easy and uplifting, she would have done it a long time ago.A few minutes later, Ken returned to the living room with a plate of cookies. She quickly sat up and went for a piece the moment the plate landed on the stool."You made this?" She asked after taking a bite.Ken smiled and took a piece. "Well, miss Jane there are a lot of things you must learn about me and yes, I baked those yesterday and kept them in a jar."Jane hummed and took another happy

Cassie clenched her jaw with her arms still folded across her chest. "Give me one reason why I should listen to you Master Yohi?"He sighed and held up her malicious stare. "You are angry my child and despite your anger, you decided to show up here."She turned away and he continued speaking."Even after hearing my conversation with father last night, you took the risk and showed up here. This can only prove the point that you have doubts about my involvement in the situation and I implore that you give me the chance to speak.She turned to him with trembling lips. She pulled the stool and sat. Master Yohi was right. After eavesdropping on them last night and after pondering the issue several times, she still had doubts about the Master's loyalty and decided to confront him."Stay calm. Get rid of all your rage because I need you to listen to everything I'm going to say to you, Cassie."She nodded and shut her eyes."Take deep breaths and clear your mind." The master advised.She inha
