Billionaire Ascendancy

“Raven blurted out angrily as I smirked at her. “Sure Raven, I will gladly get the documents so we get divorced right now”. I said angrily and went to look for the marriage documents in my room then brought it back to them in the dinner Room. “Do you really want to divorce her, Stefan? I thought you loved her? I thought she was the love of your life who you cherish. If you really do have feelings for her, then why would you agree to divorce her? Katherine whispered to me, leaving me in shock as I stared at her in disbelief. I know why she suddenly wanted me not to divorce Raven, so my uncle could become the Heir of the family. I guess uncle was her favorite son and she was willing to do anything just for him to become the president of the company even though it means going against the deal which she has with Raven.

“I’m sorry Aunt but I can’t keep up with her act, since divorcing me will favor her of becoming the Heir then she can do that! I don’t want to be an obstacle who will come in her way or stop her from achieving her goals in life by Doing what she wants”. I disagree with Katherine and choose not to help her. I was going to follow my thoughts This time around and won’t think twice before making a move. Aunt thought I was going to side with her so that I will be on a good side with her this morning but my attitude did surprise her. I could see my aunt flaring eyes at me. She was deeply angry and I could feel it from where I was standing. “Since you agreed on the divorce, please take your leave right now from the family house! I don’t want to see your Skeleton anywhere around this family and since you’ve walked into the Black family empty handed with nothing, so shall you go back to where you came from with an empty pocket”. I really didn’t get what she meant by her last statement until she ordered Raven to check my account balance and remove whatever was inside before I went.

“But is that really necessary grandmother? You know how impoverished he is so I bet he will have any money in his account”. Raven suggested, advising aunt not to go into that since they may not find anything in my account. “Even though the money won’t be much or won’t be up to $100 but I want his account to be Empty! I want Him to walk out of here with no single penny in his account even though it was one dollar”. Aunt spoke out with so much hatred in her eyes for me. “How could a commoner moron even have $100 in their grandmother’s account grandmother? It’s not possible! I hope you do know that commoners are those destitute people with nothing, so how do you expect Raven to check a poor man’s account that has nothing inside?”

I shrugged at Aunt, hoping he would change his thoughts about it because I don’t want Raven to see the $10 billion I have in my account. I don’t want her to have a different thought or start thinking that I have money. “Are you scared that we might find out that you’ve stolen people’s money in the company you work for which is the reason why you got fired? Aunt bellowed at me, not reading to let go of me without carrying out her plans. “Sure I will check it out grandmother”. Raven agreed to His words, a little happy that I didn’t agree with grandmother’s plans. Since she needs to check my account and transfer all the money from it.

I went to my room in a hurry before she could think of approaching to check my account. But not quite long enough, she came with the intention of checking my account and I had to lie to her that I’ve got only ($5000) in the account and was willing to give it all to her without her checking my account balance but she didn’t seem to believe me. She had this doubt in her face as I pondered why she was doubting me. “Do you really think that I’m a small child who will believe that you could only have $5, 000. In your account? Have you forgotten that I saw you in one expensive Bar with one prostitute back then? She said, calling Lisa a slut again and my anger for her rose up. She should better watch her mouth and the kind of words she speaks to me before I will slap her. I thought even though I know I could Never lay my hands on her. I can’t even bring myself to do that if she was someone that loves me, talkless of the fact that we are about to get divorced and go our separate ways.

“Point of corrections Raven, Lisa isn’t a slut but a very good friend of mine who had came to comfort me the moment I went to the bar to drink til sober because of the words you have said about me back then, about sacrificing me in other for you to become the president of the family group, but then, how do you even know that I have went to search bar? Were you really spying on me or you actually sent a spy to do that to you?” I shrugged at her as she burst into laughter. “And how could you actually think of such a thing? Do you really think that I will waste my money on a spy that will be watching your movements?”

*I have plan coming to your room that morning to explain things for you and let you know that I was going to fake the divorce paper and once I become the president, we will remarry again but that morning, you went out and I decided to follow you, only for me to find out that you’ve gone to met a lady who I guess was your slut and you guys usually fuck anytime! I was speechless so I could only run away the moment you saw me”. Now this explains everything because I know that what happened that day can’t be just an ordinary coincidence. I know someone must have told her that we were there not knowing that she followed me that moment..

“And also please stop addressing Lisa as my slut please! She’s just my colleague who I happen to bump into and we hug each other after telling each other our story, if you don’t believe me Raven, I will gladly call Lisa to testify on that”. “No need Stefan because I don’t want to know how many ladies you’ve fuck around in different hotel with your money! All I wanted was to divorce you right now so that I can carry on with my plans! Please don’t agree to whatever aunt tells you to do concerning not divorcing me”. I was sad to know that she still really wanted to divorce me upon knowing the truth from me.

“Please don’t disagree with my decisions because this could help both of us to find the right perfect bride for ourselves”. Divorcing you and taking over the family Heir is really one thing I’ve hoped for, so allow this dream of mine to come to pass without shattering it for me”. She pleaded with me with a sad tone as I sighed deeply.

“Please don’t sacrifice me Raven, there’s still another way we can make you to be the Heir without wanting to sacrifice each other for something that wouldn’t last forever. I know how much she badly wants this to happen but she needs to know where she’s getting everything wrong. What if after sacrificing me in order to get the heir then uncle came over the picture and tried to steal the spot from her since he was the senior son of Katherine. I don’t think I should be begging you to agree with my decisions because this is what I want to do! By becoming the heir of the family, I will be able to avenge my father and make my uncle lose everything he has worked for so far”. I could see the sincerity in her eyes and how she wanted this to work so badly.

“I can help you achieve this with your arms without sacrificing anyone Raven, if only you give me the chance to” I shrugged at her as she burst into laughter. Why’s she laughing like a fool, does she think that I’m speaking in French when I uttered those words to her? Sometimes I do ponder why she was always laughing in a serious situation, just like the one we are in right now! I will be able to help her with this thing if only she could trust me and let me handle everything for her but I don’t think she would do such things. Of course she hasn’t learned to trust me even though I was her husband and we’ve been living together close to a year now.

“I should trust you? How do you expect me to trust you when you aren’t even loyal to yourself”. “I will wait for you outside Stefan, let’s finish with this divorce thing and go our separate ways. She spoke up, about to walk away when I held her hand, preventing her from taking a step. “Why don’t you want to believe me Raven? Why can’t you believe me? Derek has no plans of marrying right now or ever thinks of marrying you because he sees you as his little sister, so right now it’s useless for you to just divorce me because you don’t know if I’m the right husband God has sent for you to marry. “God kee?” She retorted with a smirk on her Face.

“I know you are scared of losing the Heir to your uncle but I will never allow Such thing to happen! Just forget about Katherine requirements and let me help you to become the black family Heir”. She began to get convinced with my words little by little as I kept throwing it to her body by giving it to her back to back. “How would that be possible? What can you do in order for that to happen? “It’s now you’re talking Raven! This is the type of questions we should be talking about, and not about sacrificing ourselves in order to get what we want thereby leaving the other person to get hurt. “I know someone in the Maxwell division group who could help you, the person is actually a leader and he’s a good friend of mine so will help you in the process of becoming the heir”.

“As long as he’s a good person and he’s willing to help me then who am I to say no? “Since you decide to help me, I will give you a month! I’m sure that within a month your friend will help me become the president of the Black group company. If not, then I have no choice but to divorce you permanently this time around without a second doubt. “Sure Raven, I give you my words, trust me”. With that being Said, raven didn’t care to check my account balance as she seems to have forgotten about it.

“I think aunt will be very mad if he sees you anytime in this house so I guess that I need to keep a close eye on her whereabouts so you wouldn’t run off to her any day in the house”.

“Alright sure I will”. We finally came to a terms of agreement and I was happy that she finally understood me and we wouldn’t have to go about getting a divorce again. I felt happy for a while and started to have this belief that everything will be good very soon.

The next day I woke up as early as 5am, took my bath and got dressed for work. I sneaked out of the house without anybody knowing and I arrived at work around 6:30 before the rest of the people could come to work. Owen was surprised to see that I had come to work earlier than any other Day. I asked Owen to move forward with the project with Black Group straight away so that Raven could take charge of the company sooner if they needed someone in charge. And Owen promised to work on that before we could close from work today. Lisa approached me and asked me how everything went out with Raven who had seen us hugging that day and I explained to her the part she only needs to know.

I told her that Raven had followed me to the bar the moment he found out that I was going somewhere and we’ve already settled our differences and she was happy to hear that.

As I got home that evening, Raven came to my room probably to ask me how the plans were going. “Welcome back Stefan! How was today’s work? She asks with concern, showing in her eyes as that keeps me surprised , pondering if this was how she normally acts when someone’s trying to help her. She’s this type of funny girl that will quarrel with you the next day and Later laugh with you the next day. She doesn’t really have time for people.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“So, I have come to report Everything I heard grandmother saying to uncle to you! So you can be aware of what they’re planning”. She sounds really calm at the same time polite as I stared at her face. Engrossed in her beauty. “Go on Raven, I’m all ears”. I needed to let her know of it so she wouldn’t forget what she had come to tell me.

As I expected, Raven told me that she had overheard Katherine telling her uncle that she wanted him to go to the office tomorrow first to get the Maxwell Group partnership matched up, cause Maxwell Group was now in a hurry. She had said Such words to me and I get where she’s coming from.

Raven was very anxious and she was afraid that once her uncle gets his hands on the project, he will win the support of the company and never give up the management to her again. “Don’t worry Raven, I won’t let that happen! I won’t let my uncle be the project manager because Owen, the one who chaired the last meeting, had promised to help me, so let your mind be rest assured “. I assured her as she smiled at me.

“Thank you so much”. She gives me an unexpected hug which I return back by embracing her tightly to myself. I could feel her warm breast pressing against mine as a shiver ran down my spine at the sensation of her body which was trying to make my Body react to her touch on me. On knowing what was happening, Raven disengaged from the hug the moment she felt my erections and narrowed her gaze towards the wall then stood up.

“I will be waiting for the result tomorrow”. She said with a happy tone and walked away. A smile crept through my lips on remembering what had happened earlier and how I wished I was able to kiss her. But I really don’t know how she was going to react if I mistakenly kissed her without her permission. I don’t know if she will slapped me immediately or reports me to the family members by saying that I was trying to harass her, so in order to stop Such thing from happening, I could only pray she will stand up on time on noticing how our body begin to react to each other touch and she do that.

The next day when I got to the company, I found my uncle there already. I guess he was here to get the Maxwell division partnership matched up. And before he came here, he had already taught Raven how adult things work and told her that she was just a child who isn’t fit to be the Heir of the family business. Uncle Also advises Raven to stop with whatever plans she has about becoming the Heir of the family business that her plans won’t work! I was there that morning when uncle was just blabbering those words to her. And now he was at the Maxwell division group feeling very confident as he walked around the company but not so soon, a secretary noticed his unusual movements and decided to ask Him who he was. All those while, I was secretly watching him, while recording his acting on my phone camera.

“I’m Richard Black, the president of the Black group”. He introduced himself to her but the female secretary wasn’t pleased with his answer as she doesn’t know such a name like his own. “What’s wrong? You don’t believe me huh!! he questions her, wondering why she was doubting Him. “This isn’t about believing you, it’s just that the name on our list here doesn’t match with your name! The president of the Black group was Raven Black”.

I could see the disappointed look on his face the moment the secretary said that.
