His Ascension Nightmare
All through the ride to his apartment, no one spoke. Ken drove Jane to his home amidst the deafening silence. He wheeled the vehicle to the parking lot where he pulled it to a halt."Are you okay?" Jane flung the question at him while he was taking off his seatbelt.He gave a weak smile. "I'm good."He hopped down from the vehicle and strode to his left. He wanted to help Jane get out of the car but before he could get to her corner, she had already stepped out."It's getting colder by the night!" She remarked with trembling lips.Ken smiled and wrapped his arm around her. "Well, winter is upon us."She buried her head in his chest while they traced their way to the entrance. Ken led her to the bedroom and she settled by the edge of his bed. He pulled out a cashmere sweater and wrapped it around her."I'll be back." He said and left for the kitchen.Jane stood up and began to pace. She turned around to stare at the bed with a smile. It brought pleasurable memories. She stroked the cur
His Ascension Betrayal
Jane held Ken by the arm and led him to bed. She sat beside him and placed her head on his chest, listening to the rhythm of his heart."You went through a lot Ken!" She mumbled and look up at him.He wrapped his arms around her and looked into her eyes. "Pouring out my heart to you tonight made me feel better." He said.She held up his stare and placed her hand on the left side of his chest. "Are you sure about it?"He smiled and hugged her tightly. "Trust me, Jane. It was good speaking to you about my past tonight. I've been carrying this burden for years and even though I had therapy sessions with my Master which I must confess helped, I still never felt completely relieved."She sighed and tightened her grip around him. "I pray you heal and I hope you get justice.""Justice? I've searched for that man that came that night all my life but never found him. I believe that one day, I'm going to lay my hands on him and he's going to pay for what he did to my parents." Ken replied."Le
His Ascension Let it all out
Ken shut his eyes and hummed the moment Jane placed the plates of omelet before him. She winked and left to get the other food items for breakfast. He rested his back against the chair and was waiting for her to return to the dining table with a broad smile.A few minutes later, Jane arrived with a food tray. She placed the plate of toasted bread next to the omelets and passed him the hot water jug. She pulled out the chair opposite him and sat."There you go, Mr. Trent. Breakfast is served. Help yourself." She said and passed one of the tea mugs to him.He accepted the mug with a smile. "Thank you, Mrs. Trent!"They busted out laughing.Ken went for his knife. He then took a slice of the omelet. He gave repeated nods after shoving it into his mouth and turned to her. "I must say you are a wonderful cook."She continued stirring her tea in circles. "It's omelet Ken. Anyone can make that. Why don't you have a taste of the bread I toasted?""Of course!"The toasted bread received praise
His Ascension His cousin
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
His Ascension 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
His Ascension 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
His Ascension Phil castello
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
His Ascension 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
