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

So were you able to get hold of the video?" Walter demanded.He was sitting opposite Charlie in a bar. They were having a drink of whisky and it was a few minutes past 10 pm.Charlie grabbed his glass and raised it to his face. "I didn't collect the video." He replied.Walter sat up with a surprised expression. "What the hell bro? That's the evidence you need to pin that bastard once and for all."Charlie smiled and wiped the corners of his mouth with the edge of his palm. "What do you take me for Walter? A jackass?" He broke into a laugh.After he shared the incident that unfolded in Ken's apartment the other day, Walter had expected Charlie to take over the video from Miranda and have it uploaded to the student's blog. It's been twenty-four hours since the incident and Charlie still didn't own the video."So what are you going to do?"Charlie threw his back against the chair. "It was Miranda's idea to seduce Ken and I liked the idea so after she told me about it, I gave her my bless
His Ascension Let it all out!
We have a test tomorrow!" Ken hinted. At that moment, he needed all the excuses he could make to be free from meeting with Miranda that night.His phone speaker filtered her giggle and he couldn't be more irked. Was she making fun of him?He sighed and rested his back against the wall, waiting for her to speak while he kept drowning in the pool of suspense."You know I love you right?" came Miranda's voice.Ken shook his head. It wasn't what he needed to hear at that moment."I'll do anything for you Ken and as long as you are willing to cooperate, we won't have any issues." She maintained.nKen's brows furrowed in annoyance. Wait till I find my way out of this mess he thought and waited for her to spill out all she was harboring."Since it's late and we both have to study for tomorrow's test, We can cancel the meeting." She said.Ken's heart leaped with joy. Finally, he'll be free from the web she was trying to lead him into, maybe for the height because like the devil, he knew Miran
His Ascension Miranda shamed again!
Come with me!" Ken instructed Jane and took the lead. She followed him to one of the open-space restaurants on campus.As usual, they settled for the last booth. There were no customers in the last row so Ken felt that it was the right space to open up his heart to Jane."Do you want to place an order?"Jane shook her head in disagreement. "I won't even have a glass of water until you tell me why you've suddenly turned into Miranda's puppet.Ken positioned both his hands on the table, looked Jane straight in the eyes, and said. "She's blackmailing me.""Ok..ay!" Jane slurred and dropped her textbook on the table. She raised a brow in confusion, hinting at Ken to say more.He cleared his throat loudly and continued speaking. "Miranda showed up at my apartment one night. She was looking terrible, had no shoes on, and was frightened to death." He paused and shook his head. "If I had known that it was all a ploy, I wouldn't have let her in."Jane was paying keen attention."So I allowed h
His Ascension Yet another defeat!
"Pick up the damn call" Charlie muttered under his breath with a clenched jaw.He had been calling Miranda severally but she wasn't picking up her calls.There was a problem. He knew it. Miranda was the kind of girl who usually used silence to communicate her problems.Charlie shook his head and decided to give her one more call. She had better not ruin his plans else he'll vent out his frustrations on her.Again, she didn't pick up the call. With a frustrated sigh, he plunged the phone into his pocket and stepped into his car.****She slapped her bag on the table, crossed her legs, and slumped on the chair with a long face.Charlie, who guessed that there was a problem decided to hit the nail on the head. "What's the matter?""Nothing!" She mumbled and turned away, maintaining the long face.Charlie had been blowing up her phone. He even threatened her with a text message so she had no choice but to show up at the restaurant.He stretched his hands to the table in his bid to hold he
His Ascension Furious Charlie
Charlie threw his head backward and drank the whole content from his glass in a gulp. He pressed his eyes against each other as the whiskey made its way to his system with closed eyes.He propelled the class to the bartender and motioned for another shot. What he needed was a drink. It was noon.After leaving Dr. Gerald's office, Charlie drove straight to the bar after concluding that a drink might ease his tension and at least make him feel better because the rage heating up in him could set the campus on fire. The bartender passed him the drink and Charlie didn't waste any time washing it down his throat. He let out a clumsy belch and pressed his eyes against each other, feeling its soreness. He knew that he had to be mindful of the quantity of drink he was shoving down his tummy else he might drink into a stupor.The clicking of footsteps inside the bar toward him caused Charlie to place his third glass on the counter. He turned around. Charlie sighed and turned around after noti

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

"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.

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

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
