His Ascension Her name is Jane.
"So what will you have?" Ken went on with his gaze fixed on the menu card Jane was clasping with both hands.She raised a brow, hoping he'll return to his booth now that he had stated his purpose but it appears, Ken wasn't ready to leave."I was waiting for someone so maybe we can hang out before she arrives," he told Jane.Jane was about to speak when the door to the cafe was pushed open. Tracy and her minions walked in.She saw Ken sitting opposite a girl and quickly walked up to the booth with her friends hurrying after her like a pack of zombies. She was dressed in a pink floral gown and tied her hair into a bun with a pink ribbon.Tracy settled on the booth beside Ken and greeted Jane with a glare. Jane quickly waved at the waitress standing behind the counter.Soon, the waitress came to Jane's aid. Both of Tracy's friends sat next to her. Ken turned to her with a faint smile. "Hey!" He was hoping she wouldn't ask why he didn't make it to her birthday party but Tracy dropped the
His Ascension A peep on a beauty
Jane pulled out a book from her bag and began fiddling with its pages. She assumed that the act will send a message to Ken that she was about to engage in an activity so he could leave her alone but Ken was still seated opposite her, sipping slowly from his glass."I think I should leave now," Jane said and plunged the novel inside her bag. She was about to stand up but Ken stopped her by placing his hand in her way."Don't leave just yet. Please." he implored.She carefully placed her bag on the table and heaved a deep sigh. "You wanted to thank me for helping you out with the Charlie situation and you did so a while ago so there's no point in me staying here. I guess we are done here and I'm also done with my meal." maintained Jane.Ken couldn't tell why it was difficult for him to let her go. They weren't cool buddies and had only said a thing or two yet he wasn't willing to allow her to leave just yet."Chill, you seem a bit on the edge," Ken told her.Both her hands were position
His Ascension Caught in the act.
Cassie dropped her glass of red wine on the counter with a mischievous smile. She hopped down from the stool and marched toward Ken.She was wearing a long brown gown that stretched to the sole of her feet."For how long have you been sitting there?" demanded Ken after she walked up to him.She occupied the seat Jane earlier sat on a while ago with a smile. She dropped her glossy purse on the table and crossed her legs."First of all, sorry I'm late but on second thought, I'm not sorry," Cassie replied with a twinkle."Seriously Cassie?""Well, if I didn't show up late, I would have missed catching a glimpse at you drooling over that chic." she maintained. "You should have since your face Ken. Damn, I should have taken a picture."Ken turned away and waved his palm down. "Drooling? Oh, come on I wasn't drooling."Cassie broke into a dry laugh and slumped on the chair. "Maybe I should have stood up and whacked her ass. I'm your girlfriend you know, so no girl is allowed to make your he
His Ascension For how long?
Ken roved his eyes around the exam hall hoping to catch a glimpse of Jane but the girl was nowhere to be found. He turned left, right, and even stood up and turned back yet, there was no sign of her.The question papers were yet to be distributed. Ken sat and was hoping that she'll walk in through the door but unknown to him, she was the first to come to the exam hall and had already taken a seat in the last row.It's been two days since her meeting with Ken and he couldn't tell why it felt as if he hadn't seen her in weeks. There was no denying that her thoughts were beginning to get into his head.He had spent the last weekend dreaming about her day and night. He woke up with a smile after her beautiful face fluttered in his mind that morning and he was determined to meet her at all costs.After the examination, Ken loitered outside the hall. He watched the students leave, some in groups. He didn't see Jane walk out and he became worried.Did she miss the exams? Could she be sick? W
His Ascension Getting closer the clumsy girl.
Jane walked into the cafe pressing an anatomy textbook to herself. She was about to take a seat in the front booth when she turned around and saw Ken staring at her, his arms folded across his chest.Ken was gaping at her like an owl. With a gasp, she slowly turned around and muttered under her breath "Busted".Ken abandoned the orange juice and doughnuts on his table and quickly began marching toward her. Jane felt his footsteps reaching toward her, she tightened her grip on her books, heaved a deep sigh, and sat with a fake smile plastered across her face.Ken sat on the chair opposite her. He positioned his hands on the table. She roved her eyes from one angle of the cafe to the other.He cleared his throat loudly and said to her. "It's just four people here."She forced a grin. Ken knew that she was nervous and had earlier stated that she doesn't want to be seen around him due to her low-profile kind of life. He pointed out to her that there were just a few people in the cafe so
His Ascension We'd see how it goes.
"Wow!" marveled Ken. He might not know much about Jane but he could swear that she was more like him when it came to accomplishing tasks."That's exactly what I do all the time. If I don't complete the tasks I set for myself, I won't have peace." Jane replied and shook her head."That's more like me," commented Ken.She smiled and folded her arms across her chest. "Shouldn't you be in your room by now?"Ken stared at the watch on his left wrist. "Are you asking me to leave?""I don't own the fucking place," Jane replied. "You can stay here for as long as you wish," she added with a warm smile.Ken positioned both his hands on the table and cleared his throat loudly in his bid to prove to her that he wasn't ready to leave anytime soon."So what do you do for fun? I mean, your hobbies," he asked.Jane gave her forehead a delicate scrape. "I read.""That's cool. What genre of books do you read?" "Classics, history, philosophy, and more," she replied.Ken was pleased. "I must say you qui
His Ascension A date with her
The first semester examinations which lasted for about two weeks came to an end for the year one student of Harvard. Some of the students had begun packing up to leave the campus. Ken returned to his room with a broad smile plastered on his face. He had just completed his examination for the semester. It had been a hectic period for him but he was confident that the results would be great. When he got to the room, he met Mark stuffing some clothes into his luggage bag. "You are leaving already?" "Tomorrow," Mark replied and continued pulling out the clothes from his wardrobe.Ken pulled out his mobile phone from one of his table cabinets. He settled by the edge of his bed and began staring at the phone without blinking.On his way out of the hall that afternoon, he bumped into Jane. They exchanged a few pleasantries and she promised to give him a call or send him a text.What's taking her so long? he wondered after heaving a deep sigh while looking at his phone screen. When he lif
His Ascension Stay away from Ken!
Jane was walking to her hostel when she heard footsteps clicking behind her. She stopped and turned around to see the people hurrying after her.A group of girls marched up to her with hard faces. Before she could blink, they formed a circle around her. The surprised Jane roved her eyes around them wondering who they were.None of the girls looked familiar. Why are they forming a circle around her and why are they harboring hard faces? she wondered. They looked as if they were going to pounce on her.Before she could speak, one of the girls rushed toward her. She was carrying a pail behind her and in a flash, she poured the water on Jane, wetting her from head to toe.When Jane opened her eyes, they were all gone. She hugged herself as her teeth began to clatter. A bucket of cold water had just been splashed on her.She moved to a corner and squeezed her top. She brushed off her jeans and massage the water out of her hair. She was freezing to death.While wondering who the girls were

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.

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
