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
His Ascension Follow the cab
After driving for about ten minutes, Jane pulled the car to a stop in front of a bungalow-shaped cafeteria.Ken turned to her while she was unwrapping her seatbelt. "This place has been here all along? I never noticed it."She smiled. "You lost your exploration skills the moment you opted for Medicine but you could still combine both yet you don't. It's always work and work."She stepped out of the vehicle and Ken also did the same."Come with me!" She invited him with a bright smile and charged toward the entrance.Ken watched her with his eyes dilating with joy. The way she was happily marching toward the cafe reminded him of the moments they went to hang out in Grizzle bar back in Harvard.Jane turned around and caught Ken transfixed in his spot. She arched a brow. "Did you change your mind?"He swung his head from left to right. "Of course not."He began taking steps toward her. She moved away from the door with her handbag hung around her left arm. On the wall was the name of the
His Ascension Kiss me
After the man in the black hoodie was sure that the coast was clear, he continued moving. Ken stepped out and continued taking slow and cautious steps after him. He followed the man down to the end of the road and watch him take a sharp turn to the right.Ken was hidden behind one of the lemon trees. He knew that if he steps out, he'll be on close range and would be seen. He noticed a bungalow and concluded that it was the man's abodeAfter roving his eyes around the area, the man took off his hoodie while Ken watched from his hidden spot. Before the man could turn around, Ken let out a gasp. He could detect that blonde hair anywhere and then the man turned around."Charlie!" Ken muttered under his breath with his heartbeat quickening."I knew it!" He mumbled and turned around.From the moment he caught the man spying on them, his instincts gave in but he wanted to be sore and now that he had finally seen the man's face, he was certain that it was Charlie who had been trailing them al
His Ascension I want you!
At that moment, nothing made sense to Ken but the woman sitting next to him. She had taken charge of his senses. He wanted her, so badly and now that his lips were locked up into hers, he wished everything will stand still.On her part, Jane was overwhelmed by her emotions. She pulled away from the kiss and just when Ken was scared that she was going to take to her heels, she muttered something under her breath and it gladdened his heart."I miss you!"She looked him straight in the face and all she could see was a reflection of her desires. She could see that he wanted her as much as she wanted him.Ken placed two fingers on her upper lip and brushed them. She let out a slight moan and tightened her grip around him."I miss you more than you can imagine." He professed and brushed down her lower lip, causing her to gasp in pleasure.He then immersed her in a hug and guided his lips to her left ear while he kept stroking her back tenderly. "I want you!" He cried out and quickly pulled
His Ascension Outsmarted!
Jane pressed her left hand on her chest and aimed for the bathroom. She was barely halfway done with her lunch at the cafeteria when Ken walked in. She quickly abandoned her meal and stepped out.She wanted to head to her office but she realized that Ken was right after her so she decided to head to the bathroom instead. She walked into the lady's room and settled by the wash sink."Hey!"She jumped and quickly turned around with trembling hands."Ken? What are you doing here? How did you?" She turned to stare at the door and noticed that it was wide open.She shook her head and palmed her forehead with her left hand. It then dawned on her that Ken was in the lady's inappropriate room.She gasped and ran to the door. She slammed it and rested her back against the door."What are you doing here?" She asked while trying to stabilize her gaze on the floor. "You must leave right now!"When she lifted her head, she saw Ken walking up to her."What are you doing Ken?" She demanded with trem
His Ascension Date night
Jane sighed with her gaze fixed on the large dressing mirror before her. Her black hair was tied into a tight bun."It's not a date Jane!" She muttered under her breath and went for red lipstick. She wouldn't want to feed herself with any ideas and even though her relationship with Ken was on a rosy path currently, she'll rather not dwell on any possibilities."Perfect!" She mumbled and pressed her lips against each other ensuring they have an even spread of the red lipstick.Before leaving the hospital that evening, Ken requested that they have dinner in one of the city's five-star restaurants. He was specific with his request. They will be hanging out to celebrate their victory over Charlie who was now behind bars.Jane strode to her closet and pulled out a black velvet gown. She slipped into it. The dress stretched to the soles of her feet and had a slit by the left. There was a straight opening from her chest that parted her breasts, exposing some part of her bosoms. She grabbed a
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

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

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 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
