Billionaire Ascendancy

I was surprised to see Raven Approaching me the moment I came down from the car. It seems like she had overhead the horn of the car earlier which was the reason why she came outside to meet me.

“Welcome back Stefan”. She greeted me with a smile as we walked to the setting room. “How was your day today, How was work”.

“It was fine! Thanks for asking”. I was surprised though. I never expected This from her but I’m grateful for her changes towards me. At least she’s now seeing me as the type of husband she had always wanted to have.

I went into my room, entered the bathroom and took my bath. Immediately I came down from the bathroom I heard someone opening the door and behold the person was no other than Isabella who was currently holding a tray of food in her hands.

Is she going to eat this here in my room? Why can’t she eat it in her room? I was really stunned by her actions. I don’t just know why I’m getting amazed by everything she’s doing nowadays. Because her actions impressed me.

And her gaze narrowed down the moment her eyes caught a glimpse of my chest. I was only using a towel to wrap myself at the moment.

” I’m sorry for banging into your room without knocking, I didn’t know you were bathing.” I prepared this food especially for you because I thought that you might be hungry, please do give it a try”. She uttered so nervously and made an attempt to walk away but I called her back.

“Please sit down and wait for me, we will eat it together”. “Okay” there was a smile on her face as she said that and sat down, facing the other side of the chair. Gosh! She just keeps amazing me.

I put on my nightwear and Instructed her to come while we ate the food.

“Do you like it?” She asked me after we’ve finally devoured the meals which she had prepared. “Yes, it was delicious! I can’t believe that I finally get to eat your food in This House”. She chuckles as I said Such words.

“That’s normal, you will get to eat lots of my food from now on”. She says and I couldn’t help it but blush. I think I’m loving her right now. I just love the way she starts seeing and addressing me.

“Thank you my wife”. I said blushingly, touching her face at the moment as she chuckled. “and thank you, too , man”. There was a cheerful smile on her face as she uttered those words, making my heart skip so fast.

“Don’t be surprised though but I’m spending the night here okay?” She shrugged at me as she lay on the bed with her eyes closed. I guess she really means what she said in those words. I couldn’t help but continue looking at her as she closed her eyes, feeling the need to kiss her but I can’t bring myself to do that without her presence. Even though she addresses me or sees me as her husband now, they’re some kind things that I aren’t supposed to do.

I didn’t realize when Raven opened her eyes and caught me looking at her. Shit! I was really caught red handed and had to turn my face away in shame.

“What’s it? Is there something on my face?” She asked as I nodded my head. “Don’t remind me, were the people in your work nice to you?”

“Ummmm yes, the leaders and everybody are all nice to me”. I said. “I do wonder how you were able to get that job though”. She said,

These days Raven’s attitude had changed overtime Which gave me the mindset that she had started seeing me as the type of man she actually wanted. She no longer brought the divorce case like before and would ask how my day was immediately when I got home. Surprisingly she always prepared a delicious meal for me and will ask if she can spend the night with me. Her attitude all changed the moment she knew that I knew Derek’s parents. I’m happy with the change though and I’m solely grateful for the Katherine birthday party that set things Right between me and the family members..

The next morning

It was the weekend! I didn’t have to go to work today because it was on Sunday and guess what happened? People usually go to their various churches Today but I aren’t a fan of church. I prefer going shopping other than going to churches because I feel like I can ask God something anytime and worship him by myself without entering one congregation full with believers that are serving God.

And I guess that everyone in the Black family will be at home today including Katherine who always moves around.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

I had overheard Katherine talking about choosing an heir to the Black family group and I have decided to confirm that out with myself without asking Katherine who might mostly underestimate my words.

and right now Raven was going into my room, I immediately approached her there then interrogated her based on the question that I had for her.

“Who do you think Katherine will choose as the heir?” I questioned her as she took a deep breath.

“Well…. Katherine had always preferred my uncle and my father was a very ambitious man, so there was inevitably a fight between the two families”. She said as I sighed deeply.

“But then, what would it take to qualify to be the heir”. I ask her although I’m not interested in being the Heir to the Black family. I just wanted to know that’s all.

“Her condition was easy and tasking though, it was stated by her that the first person to get a Billion dollars business could be the Heir”. She said as I bit my lips. What if I compete with them? I’m most likely going to be chosen as the Heir to the Black family business.

*******

After hearing the condition that was applied for someone to have the chance of becoming the family heir, I decided to approach Katherine and ask her questions concerning the participants.

“What is it?” She questions. she could read my thoughts at the moment and I feel like she probably knows the reason why I approached her in the first place. “I heard about what you Said concerning the right person to be the family heir! I think that wasn’t fair at all! One having a Billion dollars business doesn’t really justify or tell if they could rule the family companies…!! “Sorry Stefan but I don’t need your opinion over these issues “.

She interrupted me as I kept muttering. Gosh, why can’t she seem to listen to one’s thoughts?

“I don’t know what made you suggest Such words but…..” She paused her speech, giving me this furious gaze that Made me doubt if it was really wrong for me to question her based on what she’s planning to do.

“You should have it in mind that you’re not qualified to run the Black group”. She shrugged at me as I smiled. I really don’t know why she thinks so low of me! That’s probably because she doesn’t know who I am.

“Literally, I have no intention of running the Black group so don’t worry! After all, I’m nothing but a son-in-law in the Black family house”. I’m sure! Trying to make her understand.

“I’m really glad to hear that! At least you aren’t being too greedy right now”. I can see that she’s just trying to be cool around me but at the same time she always sounds so rude with her use of words. Can she ever be polite when talking to me without being rude? Probably no as that was her nature. But I gotta make her understand something.

“I’m currently working for the Maxwell division, and it was super rich. Anyone who could cooperate with Maxwell’s division must be capable, so the person who could get Maxwell ‘s orders is qualified to be the heir”. I explained one more time again, trying to make her understand that I Don’t wish to be the heir to their family group although I have the chance of becoming one.

Judging by her countenance I can see that she was shocked with my last statement because her widened eyes says it all while her open gasped mouth speaks of her dumbfoundedness and speechlessness towards my speech. “You do?”

I heard these familiar Voices from behind only to turn back and saw my father in-law and uncle who was currently approaching me in the dinning Room where I was seated alongside with Katherine who had stood to walk away in shock, unable to utter a word.

“How were you able to work with them?” My father in-law Said with a stunned look as I found it hard answering their questions. “Gosh I can’t believe this! Do you know any of their family members? I would love to approach them and find a sport on entering their division as well”. My uncle explained as I took a deep breath. Just waiting for them to finish with their rapid questions which seems to be coming More often.

“I don’t think it’s possible! We aren’t qualified to enter the Maxwell division. It can’t be possible! It’s impossible!” My uncle said, disencouraging themselves at the moment.

“He’s right, dad! I was able to have a chance of working with them through the help of someone although I’m just a mere driver! But everything would be possible as soon as you could get someone help as well! So don’t be discouraged” I advise them then walk out of them. Leaving them to mourn on their own sadness.

I don’t think at this moment I need any other offer nor does becoming the Black family heir means anything to me. I don’t really need those things because very soon, I will Inheriting my grandfather Heir after doing what he requested from me so I will advise Katherine to be chilled and stop being worried that I don’t have what it is to be the Black family heir which I aren’t interested in .

It was my day off so I had spent the rest of my time studying about the Maxwell business then I also used some of my time to watch some Netflix then slept off. That was my main routine for now until I’m finally back to work.

******

The time had finally reached 6pm as I made my way towards the setting room, trying to head downstairs when I overheard Katherine having a conversation with my uncle which seemed to be serious and decided to eavesdrop on their conversation.

“I think I can help you!!” I could hear Katherine saying that to my uncle even though I couldn’t see the two of them at the moment but I know the sound of his voice. “How would you do that?” There was suspense and curiosity in his voice as he questioned her back.

“There’s one of the team leaders of the Maxwell group division that could be of help to you and would Help you gain access to them”. She spoke to him with assured Tone as I sighed. I do wonder about the person she’s currently talking about right now.

“Here’s it! You can call him and let him know of the deal”. Katherine said and without guessing, I could tell that Katherine gave him the person number which I found to be cheating. How I wish I knew earlier that he was going to cast this out. I wouldn’t have told her about it and with them, they wouldn’t have gotten any hope of having an opportunity to work with the Maxwell division group again because they don’t deserve it.
