His Ascension Freedom! But how?
CHAPTER 54Ken hurried after the critics. He had seen them consume the drink without displaying any sign of an adverse reaction. If the CEO wasn't affected, maybe the attack was targeted at them. He had to confirm. He heard several times that some poison takes its course after a few minutes of being administered.The critics were making their way down the hallway in their bid to exit the building when Ken charged toward them. Walking behind them were physically built men who were serving as their bodyguards. They were dressed in black tuxedos.The men heard Ken screaming after them and they turned around to look at the boy calling their attention."Yes. What can we do for you?" One of them said immediately after they turned around.Ken took hurried steps toward them amidst heavy pants. He had been running after them for about two minutes.The bodyguards quickly stepped ahead just when he wanted to get closer to the critics. "Let the boy be.""I'm really sorry for stopping you guys b

CHAPTER 55Ken took rushed steps after the security officer who was leading them to the CEO's office. He was in between the CEO and the security officer.He cast his gaze to the floor and kept hurrying after the physically built security officer who was taking long strides out of the building.The employees stood by the end of the pillars, watching as Ken was being led to the CEO's office. He was led out of the reception and down to the administrative block. Had he done much? Ken wondered as flashes of the fight between him and the man who tried to stab the CEO fluttered in his mind.After going through the whole fame trouble on campus, he had promised himself that he wasn't going to display any martial art skills. He wanted to keep a low profile but now, it was evident that his skills had just been brought to the limelight.If he hadn't intervened and engaged the man in combat, the CEO would have been murdered.They got to the CEO's block and the security officer stopped by the entr
His Ascension The skull tattoo!
The CEO stationed both his hands on the table and Ken knew he caught him off-guard. As far as he was concerned, the letter he addressed to the CEO ended up in the trash can.Mr. Carter sighed and threw his head backward. He resolved to bite his lower lip while Ken fixated his gaze on the man, waiting for him to defend himself by explaining how he got hold of the torn letter.Even Adams didn't get to open that letter so Ken knew there was no way the CEO got to read the content of the letter."Fine, I'll tell you how I got hold of the letter."Ken was paying keen attention."Earlier this morning after I just got into the building and was about to go to my office, I saw you charging toward the building. I remained at the door and decided to monitor you." he began.Ken arched a brow. So Mr. Carter saw him while he was walking toward the building a while ago? He couldn't help but wonder.The CEO continued to speak. "I watched you from my chosen spot. You wanted to slide the letter in my pi
His Ascension A manager overnight!
Ken spent the weekend in his apartment. He didn't attend any social function or call up Cassie who had lately complained about his busy schedule. The CEO's near-death incident was an event he couldn't forget in a hurry. He had been trying to wrap his head around it. First, someone tried to murder the CEO on stage, and then the CEO told him he knew about the ploy to poison him. Ken also had the promotion offer to deal with. He'll be glad if he was asked to maintain his job as the assistant cashier. *****Monday morning! Ken opened his eyes before his alarm could signal the dawn of a new day. He took languish steps to the bathroom, took a shower, and slipped into a comfortable pair of blue jeans and a cream tee shirt. He opened the small cupboard where he tucked his groceries but was greeted by the furniture's emptiness. All he could see was toothpaste, cream, a bottle of milk that was halfway gone, and other non-consumable items. He slammed the cupboard and crashed into the edge
His Ascension Fame vs ambition
So the purpose of the emergency meeting was the announcement? Ken wondered with a dropped jaw.The CEO slowly took off his hand around Ken's arm and requested a handshake with a broad smile.Ken stared at the man's stretched-out hand with trembling lips. He couldn't bring himself to shake the man.He was stunned beyond words.Not only was Ken surprised, but he was also confused. Did Mr. Carter just make him a manager? he couldn't help but wonder.Soon, murmurs began to erupt from the crowd."A new department has been created?"A second voice commented. "Isn't this the boy working with Adams?""Does he have any sort of experience? Isn't he too young to be a manager?" "Is it because he saved the CEO?"Ken didn't shake the CEO and the man knew the boy was shocked beyond words. He slowly lowered his hands to his waist and flashed a quick smile."Congratulations manager!" Mr. Carter told Ken.Ken began drifting backward. Manager? The word rang into his ear. Did he just become a manager ov
His Ascension Beginning of a new Ken
The CEO led Ken into his office and offered him the twin couch to sit on. Ken sat and inhaled the sweet jasmine extract whose scent had taken over the room.Mr. Carter must have a taste for sweet fragrances he thought and rested his back against the couch.Mr. Carter strode to the refrigerator which was stationed by the right corner of his room. He pulled out a bottle of cold water. He placed the RAZBERRY water on the glass table before Ken. "I can have a bottle of champagne sent to us if you won't have the water," he said.Ken swung his head from left to right. "It's okay sir."Mr. Carter sat opposite him and crossed his legs. "So, I'll draft a document, spelling out your roles, and send it to you so that you'll know what's expected of you."Ken sighed and turned away, displaying his lack of interest in the quest."I don't need to remind you but this is a job to die for." Mr. Carter hinted.Ken cleared his throat loudly and the CEO knew he wanted to speak so he urged him to carry on
His Ascension A new Ken?
Ken rubbed his drowsy eyes with the edge of his palms. It was a brand new day and he was still adjusting to his new life.It's the first day of school, the Second semester.It's been two days since his job as the assistant cashier ended at RAZBERRY company. He completed his contract at the company and earned his pay cheque.After his appointment by Mr. Cater as the project manager of the nearly completed hospital, Ken was given the keys to his new apartment. It was a well-furnished bungalow, housing a spacious living room, a kitchen, and two bedrooms. It's been a week since he relocated from his rat hole to the house. The other bedrooms were locked and Ken had no plans to open them. He was just making use of the living room and one of the bedrooms.If Mr. Carter wouldn't dispute, he would have requested a single apartment because he felt that the one he was given was too big for him. It was a home made for a family not someone like him.The first time he was dropped in front of the h
His Ascension Take me back
More students kept trouping toward the main gate to catch a glimpse of the person inside the vehicle. News had gone around the school like wildfire that a rich student was on campus and had arrived in a Lamborghini. The students began to murmur. As far as they were concerned, the student in the Lamborghini was taking a long to come out of the vehicle in his bid to pull more attention. Ken had been inside the vehicle for about five minutes."Who the hell those he think he is?""When is he going to come out?""I'm not leaving here till I find out who the person is."The students kept on murmuring.Meanwhile, Ken was struggling with the bottom of his left sleeve which got stuck in his Rolex. He was trying to wipe the sweat of anxiety that had teamed up on his forehead with the edge of his left palm when a button from his Gucci sleeve got into the region where the watch was clasped.He finally took off the button and just when he was about to open the car door, he realized that the hem o

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

"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

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 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
