His Ascension Poison ken!
So is that a promise?" Ken demanded.He was on the phone with Jane and had been speaking to her for about an hour. Just when she was about to end the call, he decided to ask her out on a date.Jane giggled and Ken's phone speaker filtered it into his ears. He smiled."I told you that I'm to be there Jane so you can count on me. Okay?"Ken was hesitant. He wasn't sure if Jane could make it to the dinner he had just invited her to. She was an unpredictable person after all."I'll be counting on you, Jane.""We will see how it goes." She replied and hung up.Ken lowered the phone to his chest with a smile. If she shows up for the dinner, then he might ask her out again.He had suggested that they meet in Grizzle bar, their new favorite spot. It was a private restaurant and privacy was what they wanted.*****Charlie walked into the Grizzle bar and made his way to the bar stand. It was a few minutes past 10 pm and they were packing up already.The moment the bartender saw Charlie walking
His Ascension Another trouble?
Ken glanced at the Rolex on his left wrist. It was a few minutes to his dinner date but Ray was yet to show up.He stood up, strode to the window, and stuck his head out, hoping to catch a glimpse of Ray but the chauffeur was nowhere to be found.With a frustrated sigh, he returned to the couch and snatched his phone. He was just about to dial Ray's number when his senses were drawn to the revving of his Lamborghini.He quickly rushed out of the room as if he was being hunted."And why are you late?" He fired at Ray the moment the driver alighted from the vehicle.Ray stared at his phone screen and darted his gaze back to Ken. "Sir, you asked me to come and pick you up at 6: 30 pm. It's 6:38 right now."Ken sighed. Those eight minutes seemed like forever. "I'm sorry Ray. Maybe it's because I'm on the edge."Ray smiled and opened the door to the back seat for Ken to step in. "I understand boss, Love can be a crazy thing." he teased."Silly!" Ken remarked after a chuckle. He jumped into
His Ascension Bully the girl
Stop right there!"Ken and Jane quickly pulled out their lips from the straws and turned to stare at the woman walking up to them."What the hell?" Ken muttered under his breath and fell back on his chair."Fuck!" Charlie spat and tried to hold onto the menu card with trembling hands.Why does she have to show up at such a time when his plan was about to come to life?Jane darted her gaze from the strange girl standing beside her and then back to Ken. She was displaying a blank expression, wondering why a girl would walk up to their booth screaming like a mad woman."What are you doing here Miranda?" Ken asked and turned to look at her with a clenched jaw.The lost Jane continued roving her eyes around them. It appears Ken knows the girl and why were his eyes harboring hostility toward her?Miranda glared at Jane and stood beside Ken with a bright smile. "Hey!" she waved hoping he reciprocates the smile.Ken had always commended her infectious smile and maybe, she was going to get him
His Ascension The perfect plan so he thought
What in the world was Charlie doing at the restaurant at such an hour wondered Ken. Why do Charlie and his girlfriend Miranda, always turn up at the wrong time and end up ruining things?Charlie had vowed to never initiate Ken in a fight. He had seen the guy's martial art skills on display several times and he would be a fool to start a fight with Ken."I'm just here to grab my girl," Charlie said and slid his arm into Miranda's.With the look that says 'You are done for?' he began dragging Miranda out of the restaurant.Ken was stunned that Charlie didn't pick up a fight with him neither was the guy willing to engage him in his usual small talk.Charlie and Miranda left.Ken turned around and began taking strides toward Jane. Her beautiful floral gown which was immaculately dazzling earlier had turned red and was looking damp.The waitresses had tried to clean her up but her hair was soiled with red wine and sauce droplets."I'll use the restroom." she excused herself the moment Ken
His Ascension What could it be.
Fuck!" Miranda cussed and slapped her right thigh repeatedly. Charlie was about to share with her the plan he had for Ken but then, his useless phone had to ring.She turned to her left and looked through the window. Charlie was engrossed in his phone call. He was backing her and seemed to be having an extensive discussion with his caller.Charlie never moved an inch to answer his phone calls whenever she was around but now, he had to jump out of the car and even moved to a distance so he could pick up the call. Miranda suspected something fishy but that's not her bone of contention.She smiled and threw her head back as her mind traveled back to the havoc she caused. She recollected how she painted Jane's head and face with wine and sauce. She had turned the beautiful girl into a troll overnight and the mess she created gladdened her heart.Now, Jane must be so mad at Ken that she must have walked out on him Miranda concluded. However, she wasn't sure whether that was enough reason
His Ascension What could be wrong?
Should I call her or not?" Ken wondered out loud.It was Saturday morning and he had just returned from the gym down his street. He was pondering whether to call Jane or not.The last time they met was during their dinner at Grizzle which was ruined. All thanks to Miranda. That day, Ken wanted to make it up to Jane. He had suggested that they place another order but she didn't take the offer. He didn't push it because he knew the girl had gone through a lot that night. If it were another girl, she would have walked out on him.It's been a week past the incident and he barely got in touch with Jane. He called her twice on several occasions and she only returned his call once. In class, they only exchanged a few pleasantries and Ken didn't ask about his proposal.Maybe he should just go ahead and place the call he concluded and leaned on the kitchen counter. Since it was a weekend, she was bound to be free or they might reschedule for the next day.He placed the call.Ken sighed and dro
His Ascension False alarm
"Just a moment Ken. Please!" Miranda implored and hurried after him.After their class for the day ended around 1 pm, Ken took the route that led to the college library and Miranda followed him so she could pull him to a corner for a conversation.Ken kept taking rushed steps toward the library. He didn't stop or turn back to look at her. As far as he was concerned, she was now pure evil and he needed to stay away from her.She ran after him and was about to grab his shirt in her bid to force him to turn around when he turned to face her with a clenched jaw. "Stop running after me like some damn parasite."She sighed and tried to get closer to him but Ken drifted backward."Would you please listen to me?"Ken arched a brow. "Listen to you? After all the madness you displayed the other day at the restaurant?" He shook his head and glared at her. "If I ever had any respect for you then I want to let you know that it's all gone, Miranda. Only a hooligan would pull out the activities you
His Ascension Commit to my plan
Ken's jaw dropped. It was Miranda who tried to seduce him and now she was screaming for help? He tossed her to the floor like a piece of paper and stood up with clenched fists."You bitch!" He cussed with his nostrils puffing hot air.Before he could blink, Charlie was already in the room and had rushed to Miranda's aid. He helped her get off the floor.She got up on the floor while sobbing, she pulled Charlie to herself and immersed him in a hug while Ken watched with astonishing eyes.She quickly slipped behind Charlie as he began taking steps toward Ken to address him."Did you just try to rape my girlfriend?""Rape?" Screamed a shocked Ken. "It was your girlfriend who came to my house and was crying over how you tried to rape her and suddenly, she jumped on me and began to act silly."Charlie broke into a wicked laugh and Ken couldn't be more stunned. He charged toward Charlie and tried to get Miranda to move out from her hiding spot."Tell him the damn truth Miranda!"She didn'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!" 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

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
