His Ascension Mr Charles.
Ken shook his head and grabbed the spare office key Mr. Charles had left behind. He glanced at the square-shaped clock hanging on the wall. It was past 3 pm. He decided to head home.He locked the office and slid the key inside his pants pocket. Lately, Mr. Charles had entrusted him with opening and locking up his office after working hours.While making his way out of the company, flashes of the incident he had just witnessed in the restroom began to flutter in his mind. Someone was planning to kill the CEO and there was nothing he could do about it or maybe, there was something he could do.He hailed a cab and settled in front beside the driver."Are you okay?" the middle-aged driver asked after Ken slumped into the car seat. He didn't even bother to wrap a seatbelt."Just drive," he replied with his face averted from the driver.He had concluded that tomorrow, he'll approach Mr. Charles with the issue and as his master will always say, if it doesn't work out today, try again tomorr
His Ascension Such a lucky boy.
Ken stared at the door and shifted his gaze back to Adams. Was the man asking him to leave? "But sir...I...the computer." he began to stammer.Adams placed his phone on the table and threw his back against the chair. "Are you flaunting my orders?" Ken was silent. All he was requesting was a computer to discharge the task assigned to him.Adams stared at the watch on his left wrist. "You've got 55 minutes Ken so the sooner you start working, the faster you'll be done," he told Ken, maintaining a serious face."Yes sir." was Ken's reply. He gave a sad nod and made his way out of the office."Stop walking like a girl," Adams screamed at his departing figure. "Hurry up and work on those transactions," he yelled at him.Ken stepped out of the office. He rested his back against the wall and folded his arms across his chest. He just met Adams and had already concluded that the man was stern and insensitive.What was he going to do now? he wondered. He lowered his left hand to his waist and
His Ascension An unrelenting enemy
Ken turned around to face the man who had just called out to him. With a mischievous smile, Charlie continued taking giant steps toward Ken.Ken folded his arms across his chest and cast a hard gaze at Charlie. After Charlie tried to frame him during their first semester examinations, he had considered him pure evil but after he eavesdropped on them and his partner the other day at the restroom, Ken was convinced that Charlie was more like the devil.Charlie finally got to the spot Ken was standing. He glared at him and moved closer to him. He stood so close to Ken that air could barely pass between them. Ken held up Charlie's malicious stare and waited for him to speak."I saw your miserable self exiting the building and I wasn't sure whether it was you so I decided to call out to you and when I called you, I found out it was you indeed," said Charlie.Ken gave a half smile and lowered his hands to his hips. "Now that you are convinced that I was the one you imagined, what else do y
His Ascension The CEO'S daughter
The continuous buzzing of Ken's phone awakened him. He slowly opened his and went for his phone."9 am!" he mumbled and sprung out of bed with a gasp.He quickly unlocked his phone and couldn't fix his eyes on a particular spot when he realized that it was Adams who had been blowing up his phone."Bloody hell" He muttered under his breath and began taking off his pajamas.After closing from work the previous day, Cassie invited him for a hangout. They spent the night having fun and by the time he returned to his apartment, It was past his bedtime.Ken hurriedly took a shower and began pulling out clothes from his luggage bag. He knew he was in trouble. He was expected to be in the office by 9 am sharp and now, he was still at home trying to pick up an outfit. He was so exhausted that he didn't hear the sound of his alarm.He quickly slipped into a pair of blue jeans and slapped a red cotton tee shirt on it. He tucked his wallet in his trouser's pocket and slipped into comfortable foo
His Ascension Jane!

He was hoping to see Mr. Charles in the office after three hectic working days with Adams but when he walked into the office, he found Adam sitting like a god.He got irked and Adams didn't waste time in sending him to grab his morning coffee. He wanted to see Mr. Charles.Ken sensed that there was a problem with Mr. Charles. The day he introduced Adams, he had told him that they'll be rotating daily shifts and now, it's been three torturing days without any sign of him.He decided to confront Shane with the issue. She might be alone at the reception and he wouldn't want to raise the issue among the sales personnel. He got to the reception and sighed in relief after noticing that Shane was alone at the reception, going through her phone.He walked up to her and knocked on the counter. She lowered the phone to her chest and flashed a quick smile at him."Can you
His Ascension Ken on a date, but not Miranda!
Ken quickly moved away from the door and marched down the hallway toward the restrooms. His pupils kept dilating. They haven't spoken in weeks and haven't crossed paths since the day they wrote their final examinations. Ken cleared his throat loudly and picked up the call after slipping to a corner. "Hello!" he said, still maintaining a bright smile."Ken Trent!" she called out to him and giggled afterward.Ken imagined the name slipping out of her full lips. He smiled while imagining her smile and wondered whether she was tying her hair into a loose bun."Jane!" he replied in the same manner she had called him.They both broke out laughing.Ken felt a sense of awareness starting to envelop him. After he learns about Mr. Charles's condition, he suddenly went cold and had concluded that he was going to have a bad day but now, a phrase from Jane was making his gloomy day bright."How have you been? It's been a while you know?""It's been two weeks and two days," Ken replied. The last
His Ascension I have an idea
After sorting the files, Ken collected all the papers and neatly placed them in a box. Before leaving the office that afternoon, Adam had given him a task to complete and Ken could only leave for home when he was done.He hurried through the task and completed it in less than ten minutes when it should have taken him about thirty minutes. He placed the box in one of the table cabinets and roved his eyes around the office.Everything was set.He hurried out of the office, shut the door, and slipped the key inside his wallet before tucking it inside his pants pocket.As he marched toward the exit, he stared at the watch on his left wrist. "3 pm" He muttered under his breath and made his way out of the building. He has about three hours to get ready for the date he had with Jane that evening or probably a hang out as she'll say.With a bright smile, he hailed a cab and took the front seat beside the driver. Ken slumped on the car seat maintaining a smile. After what seemed like forever,
His Ascension Letter to Mr CEO
Ken dropped his pen and grabbed the letter he had just written, addressed to the CEO of RAZBERRY company. At the restaurant last evening, Jane had advised him to write an anonymous letter to the CEO, putting down in words everything he heard.After he complained about how he was going to get the anonymous letter to him, Jane told him to take advantage of the pigeonholes company CEO's normally have at the door to their offices. He was to drop the letter there.He had appreciated her for providing a solution to the problem and the first thing he did after waking up that morning was to pen down the message.He fixed his gaze on the paper and began reading it out loud. "Dear Mr. Carter, I'm reaching out to you via this medium to communicate a matter that requires an urgent response. On the 5th of November around 2 pm, I overheard two men plotting a scheme. They plan to poison you. This message wasn't written to seek any attention or mislead you but to warn you of the danger ahead."After

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!" The phone speaker filtered her voice.Ken sighed in relief. Finally, she picked up the call."Sorry I missed your c

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

Save your family!
"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. He planned to come home from Brooklyn the following week and introduced Ken and his mom to you guys." The master explained.Cassie began to nod repeatedly. "Now I'm beginning to get the hang of this story. Ken's father set up the company in Boston while h

The heir
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
