He had invited her to his apartment for a movie night. He missed her jokes and was in dire need of her warm company.She made her way to the living room and crashed on the twin couch. She rested her back against the chair and fixated her gaze on the chandelier."Did you change those?" She asked pointing at the gold-colored chandelier.Ken smiled and settled next to her.

"Do you think it's okay?" Ken asked while sliding a blue tie around his neck.He was throwing the question at Ray. Ken was standing before his large dressing mirror. He was with Ray in the room.Ray got up from the edge of the bed and moved closer to Ken. He stood in front of him and roved his eyes around the boy, checking him out like he was a specimen."Stop acting like a fashion designer Ray. Just tell me if the tie corresponds with the dress." Ken said and tightened the grip the tie had around his neck.Ray chuckled and folded his arms across his head. "I think you should take it off."Ken arched a brow. "You think so?" He lowered his hands to his hips.He was wearing a pair of blue plain trousers and a white tee shirt."It's a long sleeve shirt and seeing that you've buttoned it all up to your neck, I don't think putting on a tie is necessary," Ray replied."Really?"Ray nodded repeatedly. "It's a dinner date, not some prom event or a business meeting. You don't want to look too
His Ascension The bombshell
"Why didn't you tell me your stupid plan failed?" Charlie yelled at Miranda over the phone.He had been blowing up her phone for the past ten minutes and when she noticed that the calls persisted, she decided to pick up.She shut her eyes and heaved a deep sigh, imagining the fury in his eyes. If she wasn't out of his reach, Miranda knew he would strike her on the cheek because his voice was communicating anger."I'm still working on it" was her reply."You are still working on it?" He fired. "Stop lying to me. You are working on nothing Miranda. I just can't believe that I trusted you with such a huge responsibility."There was silence from Miranda's end. She feared that Charlie was going to discover that Ken and Jane outsmarted her and he might also come to realize that she planned to double-cross him. Now, it seemed what she feared was happening. He knew she failed him."For God's sake, Charlie stop acting like a dick. I need you to trust me on this. I said I'm working on it so rel
His Ascension Leave no stone unturned!
Ken sat up. Did she just say she knew about Raspberry?"I mean no!' Jane sharply replied.Ken displayed a blank expression. A while ago, she had admitted to knowing about Raspberry and now, she was switching sides."You said yes a while ago and now you are disagreeing?"Jane cleared her throat loudly and put on a broad smile. Ken wondered whether she was smiling to cover up all she knew or whether the smile was an assurance that she was telling the truth."Let's just say it's a slip of the tongue babe and by the way, why are you suddenly asking me about your workplace." She replied and pressed the menu card on the table."Jane, if you know anything about Raspberry and you want to share it with me, kindly do so." He implored, staring at her straight in the face.The moment Jane averted his gaze by casting her eyes on the table, he sensed something fishy."Come on babe. I said Yes because you threw the question at me and when I later realized what I'd just said, I gave the fitting reply

The ride from the restaurant to Ken's apartment was a silent one. No words were spoken. Ray was sensitive enough to detect that the boy was pissed and he knew starting any conversation might fuel his rage.Ray drove to the estate and pulled the Lamborghini to the parking lot. Before he could turn off the car, Ken was already taking off his seat belt in his bid to get out.He jumped out of the vehicle and dashed to his apartment while Ray stood behind, pondering the reason behind the sudden change in Ken's countenance.Ken made his way into the bedroom and began taking off his shirt aggressively. He didn't even bother to turn on the lights until a button fell off his sleeve."Useless button!" He cussed and turned on the lights.He swapped his outfit for his overall pajamas and jumped on the bed after turning off the lights.He laid on his back, and grabbed a pillow but couldn't fall asleep.The moment he turned left, his phone began to ring and without checking who the caller was, he k
