His Ascension The dark secret
Jane was transfixed on the spot and was dying to see if Ken would turn around to look at her but he didn't. He kept walking away and each step he took farther away, broke her heart into shreds.With a frustrated sigh, she turned around, wiped the tears that were streaming down her cheeks with the edge of her palms, and aimed for the gate she had used in coming into the campus.She was going to abandon the day's lecture and head home.Ken stopped.He shut his eyes, exhaled, and turned around. He saw Jane walking away and he felt a sharp pain in his chest.Ken moved to the wall by his right and rested his back against it. He knew he wasn't being fair to Jane and he couldn't help but miss their private dates and humorous hangouts.He wanted to run after her but decided to let her be. Maybe he needed to carry out the silent treatment for some time. Hopefully, she'll realize that all she had to do was open up to him and let in into her world.He pulled out his phone and decided to call Cas
His Ascension Something hidden
Ken waited for about five minutes for Cassie to call him back but his phone didn't ring. Could she be on her way to his apartment? He wondered and settled by the edge of the bed.An hour passed and there was no sign of Cassie and she didn't call back. He decided to call her."Hi, bro!" She mumbled in a tone that was different from the one she had used earlier.Her voice sounded firm and not even a ripple could be detected which suggested she had been crying over the phone earlier when she called."I'm waiting for you to show up." Ken stammered."How about we meet up some other day? I'm busy right now and it's kind of late," replied Cassie.Ken was stunned. Didn't she call him an hour ago crying profusely, seeking his company? What had suddenly gone wrong? He couldn't help but wonder."Didn't you want us to talk? I thought there was a problem and..." Ken was still speaking when she interrupted."Don't worry about a thing Ken. I'm good now. I was just having a mood swing due to my perio
His Ascension Cassie’s fear.
Cassie looked into Ken's eyes and quickly turned away. He was mad at her. She knows him and could detect when he was really mad at her.She sighed and rubbed her palms against each other tenderly. "Do you have a lecture to attend right now?"Ken shook his head and broke into a dry laugh. It was the first day of the new academic session and just like Cassie, he needed to be in class now."No!" He replied and turned away.Cassie heaved another sigh. She knew he gave the reply because she had asked an insensitive question. Meanwhile, she needed to tell him something but didn't know how to go about it and that was how the silly question popped out."I'm sorry!" She mumbled and cast her gaze to the floor. There were a lot of unsaid things between them and she could only come up with an apology."I'm sorry Ken.""Sorry?" Ken almost yelled.She lifted her head and caught him staring at her with a quirked brow. "Will your apology make up for the calls you refused to pick up and the messages y

It was as if a riot broke out on campus and the lecturer was forced to leave the class.Ken followed the group of students who were trouping out of the hall to trace their way to the place the noise was emanating from. When he came out, he saw students running toward the campus alley.Out of curiosity, Ken followed the students to the scene.

He watched Charlie with astonishing eyes.Charlie grabbed both his hands and began to shake him vigorously. Ken noticed how shrunken Charlie had become. His eyes had lumps underneath and when he opened his mouth to speak, Ken was forced to look away because of the bad smell emanating from Charlie's mouth.The students rushed behind Charlie as a new commotion was about to take place.Charlie was holding onto Ken's hands. His lips were dried up and had cracks in them."I will get my hands on you and I promise you, Ken Trent, you'll pay for making my life miserable," Charlie swore.Ken arched a brow.

His Ascension The Graduation party!
Two years later!Ken didn't even wait for his alarm clock to give the signal. He sprung out of the bed with a bright smile that could illuminate a dark valley.It was graduation day.The day he had been looking forward to. Today, his years of study will come to an end at Harvard. He came to the institution as an inexperienced boy who had no formal knowledge of medicine but now, he'll be heading for his internship program once he clears all his papers.He dashed to the bathroom and turned on the shower. His excitement was so evident that he sang in the shower and even after coming out with a towel tied across his waist, he was still chanting his victory song.Ken stood before his dressing mirror and blinked at his reflection. He had asked his barber to give him a clean cut the previous day and the man did a good job. Ken rubbed his jaw repeatedly and ran his hands through his hair. He looked handsome.While maintaining the bright smile, he charged toward his closet and pulled out a gas
His Ascension The hate
The last time Ken and Cassie's dad crossed paths was about four years ago when Ken was still in Boston. He had always known that the man never liked him. It's been four years now so maybe some things must have changed or maybe not wondered Ken.Cassie and her dad walked up to him. She let go of her dad and immersed Ken in a hug.She whispered into his left ear. "Congratulations bro. I'm so proud of you. I can't wait for you to complete your internship program and be decorated as a medical doctor."Ken pulled away from the hug with a bright smile. "Thank you so much, Cassie." He handed the hat to her and turned to her father.The man flashed a quick smile at Ken and instantly put on a serious face. Ken swallowed. He could tell that the man's dislike for him was still a fact.Ken extended a hand to the man. "Welcome to Cambridge sir."The man gave Ken's hand a cold stare and smiled.Ken slowly withdrew his hand while Cassie watched with hopelessness in her eyes. She turned to Ken with a
His Ascension Surprise visit!!
"Why don't we all get inside? The event is starting soon." Mr. Carter hinted."After you Sir," Ken replied and pointed to the entrance.He was holding onto Jane's right arm and was about to take a step after the CEO when his phone began to ring.He released Jane and motioned to her to lead Mr. Carter into the hall. "Why don't you take him inside the hall? I'll be with you shortly."She agreed with a nod and led Mr. Carter into the hall.Ken pulled out his cell phone from his breast pocket. He arched a brow at the phone screen. It was a private number calling him.The host was already on stage and was urging all the people outside to get into the hall because the event will kick off. Ken abandoned the call and was about to slide his phone into his breast pocket when it began to ring.He decided to pick up the call."Hello, who am I onto?"Ken almost froze when a familiar voice responded."Turn to your left." The caller said.Like a robot that was controlled by a machine, Ken slowly tur

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!"

"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. 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.

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
