Jane was still beaming with smiles while Ken stared at her in astonishment. She seemed not to care about a thing that he had spent the last two days pondering to the extent that he almost went insane.Ken began taking steps toward her and her smile instantly vanished. She was trying so hard to stabilize her gaze on him but her eyes wouldn't stop roving. They wandered from Ken to the different corners of the office and back to him.Get a grip on yourself Jane she cautioned and instantly put on her game face.She positioned both her hands on the table and arched a brow. "You wanted to see me, Director Ken?"Did she just address him officially? He wondered. he looked straight into her eyes. She was putting on a firm stare and was waiting for him to speak."Director Ken!" He muttered under his breath.He folded his arms across his chest and was still looking into her eyes. He darted his gaze from her well-sculptured brows to her soft lips which were painted in red.His eyes wandered to th

Jane looked into Ken's eyes and all she could see was vulnerability. He wanted her so badly and she could sense it. She began to melt like wax in his arms and just when she wanted to shut her eyes and give in to her weakness, she put on her game face and tried to push him away but Ken's grip was too tight on her.Even though he was mad at her, Ken wanted to lean for a kiss. The mere look into her eyes was causing all his anger to vanish and he wished she could apologize. He wanted her to provide all the answers he needed so they could make things right but Jane seemed to have other intentions. She kept trying to free her hand from his clutch and was glaring at him."Let go of me!" She barked and finally set herself free.With a sigh, he drifted backward and gave his forehead a delicate scrape. He lifted his head and caught Jane rubbing her arms tenderly.What are you doing Ken? What if you hurt her? He thought.Ken exhaled and was about to apologize to her when she sharply cut in. "Ge
His Ascension The stalker
The frightened Jane quickly turned around but there was no one behind her. She turned to face the wall but the shadow was gone."What in the world?" She mumbled with her eyes widened in terror.She began to take fast steps back to the park. Jane was forced to stop moving when she sensed a movement behind her. She turned around and stared at the emptiness. She could swear that there was a figure looming behind her and if she had believed in ghosts, she would have concluded that she was being haunted by one.Just when Jane was about to take a step further, she sensed a movement in the shrubs by her right. She then guessed that the person trailing was in the shrubs, hiding."Whose there?" She demanded with her voice quaking.She was getting cold and uneasy. She roved her eyes around the dark environment and was scared to the core. She wanted to walk to the shrubs and take a look but the thought of being grabbed by strange hands struck her.With fear coursing through her veins, Jane conti

Jane grabbed her phone from the glass table and darted her gaze from the phone screen to Ken."I need to pick up this call. It's urgent.""Okay!" Ken replied and folded his arms across his chest.She was expecting him to leave the office. She had felt glad that the phone call was timely but Ken remained rooted to his spot.Jane sighed and slipped into a corner. She responded to the call and began to speak in low tunes.Ken placed two fingers on his lips while he impatiently waited for her. He doesn't care about the phone call. She should get on with the phone call and return to the spot so they can finish their conversation.Jane turned around to stare at Ken. His impatient eyes were fixed on her. She gave repeated nods, hung up, and slapped the phone on the desk. She turned around, adjusted her black jacket, and walked up to him."I need to leave!""You must be kidding me."She shook her head. "I'm not. That phone call was an emergency and I must respond to it right away." She said a

Keep up with the usual pace!" Ken told the driver and quickly moved closer to Jane.If anyone was trailing them, then he had to be sure. At that point, Jane didn't bother about their proximity. She moved closer to him.Ken turned to her with a look that says "You are safe!"She blinked at him.The driver continued wheeling the car down the straight path while Ken kept his gaze fixed on the route ahead.Trailing them behind was a black sports car with dark glasses following the limo, closely behind. The car came to a halt the moment Ken told Jane's driver to stop moving and when the driver proceeded, the car began to move."For how long have you been noticing this?" Ken demanded.Jane's driver got stuck in traffic and when Ken turned around, the car trailing them was gone.Jane sighed and shook her head. "First it was at the park the other day and then today." She turned to Ken. "Why would anyone be trailing me?"Ken cleared his throat. "Maybe because they needed answers. Like how you

His Ascension A green snake under the green grass
"I'm waiting outside boss!" Ray told Ken over the phone. He arrived at the apartment about ten minutes ago and was waiting for Ken to come out to meet him. It was a few minutes to 9 am and he was concerned that Ken might be running late for work."Why don't you come inside? There's a grocery list on the bar stand. Maybe you can help me get all the items I outlined." Ken replied.Ray was stunned. He began to take steps toward the house and was soon stammering. "And work? How are you going to get to work today?"Ken was receiving the call from his bedroom. "Don't worry about me, Ray. I'll drop by the office a bit late today. I need to be somewhere.""Okay!" Ray mumbled and hung up the call. He knew how much Ken revered his job so he was certain that he needed to attend to an emergency that's why he'll be coming to the hospital late that day.Ray marched into the house, strode to the bar stand, and grabbed the list. He left.Back in his room, Ken had just stepped out of the bathroom and

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.

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
