His Ascension Don’t trust Charlie
Ken didn't take his eyes off his wall clock. It was as if he was engaged in a staring contest. The moment the clock rang at 6 pm, he sprung out of the chair and moved to the door.He left the hospital an hour ago. He had freshened up and was yet to make any provisions for dinner. As long as he is yet to find out the answers he needed regarding Charlie. Dinner can wait.Ken walked out to the verandah and began to pace aimlessly.What if Miranda doesn't show up? His mind taunted him. He shook his head in disagreement. She promised to show up and might show up. All he had to do was remain patient and wait for her to arrive.His thoughts were interrupted by the revving of a black cab.

His Ascension The hidden condition
Cassie adjusted the black jacket shielding the white cotton long-sleeve shirt she wore. The shirt was tucked inside black plain trousers. After slipping the jacket around her, she felt like a boss.She wanted to smile but the sadness in her heart was too heavy to bear. She loved the outfit and had left it for a special occasion. She decided to wear it that morning after her father told her that he was taking her to his company.Cassie was elated. All she ever wanted was to be on her father's perfect side. She was his only child and had always looked forward to taking over the company but her dad never mentioned it. Meanwhile, All the messages she sent to Ken about her ongoing training so she could take over the company were all lies.It's been a week since she last graced the environment outside. After her father caught her in the Master's chamber, he tightened the security around her room and had been monitoring her phone calls. She was not allowed to call Ken but can pick up his cal
His Ascension Go to hell
"You seem to be in a bad mood today." Ray pointed out. It was a few minutes past 8 am and he was driving Ken to the hospital.Ken turned to him with a faint smile. "I'm a bit stressed that's all.""Well, health is wealth and I don't need to remind you about that fact boss. You need rest. Doctors are humans too." Ray commented and adjusted his tie.Ken broke into a laugh. "You have a point, Ray."But if only Ray knew that the meeting he had with Miranda the previous day was what was keeping him on the edge, not some sort of stress as he alleged. Now that he was aware of the fact that Charlie would be coming for him, Ken couldn't help but feel restless.Ray drove the car into the hospital's parking lot and pulled it to a halt. He quickly stepped out and before he could open the door to the back seat for Ken, the doctor was already out, clinging to his briefcase.Ray wanted to take charge of the briefcase but Ken sharply placed it behind him. "That's okay Ray. Just pass me the car key."
His Ascension Time to act
Ken folded his arms across his chest and stared at the Lamborghini with his brows furrowing in anger. The dumb Vehicle had to break down in the middle of the road and without Ray in the seat, he couldn't help but feel hopeless.If he had known that the car was in a bad state, he would have opted for a cab and abandoned it in the hospital's garage but now, the vehicle had to disappoint him on the highway.He pulled out his phone and called Ray several times but the chauffeur wasn't picking up his calls and to crown to his frustration, no vehicle was coming his way. Ken was hopeless and helpless."Damn it!" He muttered under his breath and almost flung his phone.He began kicking his left tire aggressively, venting out his frustration.A few minutes later, a vehicle drove down the path. It gave a loud horn and Ken was forced to turn around. The car's reflector was wined down and Jane stuck her head out from the vehicle."Is there a problem Dr. Ken?" She asked in a formal tone.Ken faked
His Ascension No more deaths
Until that car is fixed, I don't want it in my garage." Ken ruled it out. He was on the phone with Ray."Don't worry about a thing boss. I've got this." Ray assured him.After he left the car on the highway, Ray turned up a few minutes later and contacted a mechanic. They were able to get it off the road but the car was still not fixed. Ken had to take a cab to the hospital that morning."You better do something, Ray." He hung up and slapped the phone to the table.Ken sighed and threw his head backward. It was a few minutes to lunch break. His legs were aching and so was his head. Ken and two other doctors conducted surgery that morning and it took them five hours to get the tumor out.A knock landed on Ken's door and he groaned in frustration. He wasn't expecting anyone that afternoon and he was not the one to handle the day's consultation.Without looking at the door and with his head still thrown backward, he demanded in a tired voice."Who's there?"There was no response and soon
His Ascension Sorrow at the call
"Just pull up right here. You don't have to drive inside" Jane told her chauffeur. Sitting right next to her in the back seat of the range rover was a bodyguard, heavily armed.It was Sunday morning, a few minutes past 7 am, and Jane decided to hit the gym across the street. Even though there was a gym in the mansion, Jane prefers to use the public one across her street, especially their martial arts unit.She stepped out of the vehicle and the clingy bodyguard immediately jumped after her. She heard his heavy steps clicking after her and with her lips curled in irritation, she turned to him looking pissed."You don't want to come with me inside. Trust me!"She turned around and he turned the other way. He traced his way back to the car. The message was clear and the man was not going to provoke Jane. She sighed and marched toward the entrance. She was wearing tight-fitting black leather trousers and a tight crop top.She adjusted the bag that hung around her left arm containing her w
His Ascension A cup of tea
Ken tossed from one edge of his bed to the other. He was sweating profusely and swinging his head. He was lying on his back.Again, he was having a nightmare.He could see it clearly in his dream. He could see the way his mother led him to the basement eighteen years ago. He could see how she pressed teddy to his chest and left, promising to return but she never did."Mom!" He screamed and jumped out of the bed.While panting heavily, he settled by the edge of his bed after turning on the lights. It was barely 2 am. Ken wiped the sweat that had teamed up on his forehead with the edge of his palm and wondered why the nightmare he had long forgotten was making its way back to his life.He stood up, staggered to his table, and grabbed a copy of moby Dick. With a frustrated sigh, he dashed to the study. A fact about the nightmares was that he never gets back to sleep after having them.******"Take care, sir. Bye!" Ray screamed at Ken after he dropped off from the vehicle.Ken waved a laz

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
