Billionaire Ascendancy

For a while, I was speechless as I listened to grandpa’s words over the phone and they all sounded like an illusion to me. “Her name is Ava, Stefan, you will like her and besides she’s the CEO of the Kenya group, The second most popular group in the world”. Grandpa spoke over the phone as I sighed deeply. There’s no way I will agree to marry her. I can’t divorce Raven just to please him by marrying her, the Black family has done a lot for me and I owe them for that. Dividing Raven now all because of the fact that I have found the right partners for myself seems like a betrayal. They will feel betrayed and upset the moment they figure out my identity and my actions. So I can’t really turn my back on them now, not on Raven who had suddenly started accepting me for who I am. Knowing that he was awaiting my response, I cleared my throat as I took a deep breath, giving him a sign that I’m about to speak up, concerning the situation.

“I do understand your concern for finding a wife for my grandpa but you should know that I’ve already been married to Raven so you wouldn’t have wasted your time in choosing a wife for me and besides, I and Raven are no longer divorcing! We’ve settled out our differences and we are now cool with each other, I think you should know that but anyway, thanks for your care”. There was some intense moment between us as I uttered those words to him, through the phone. “I’m doing this for you Stefan! Ava, who’s the CEO of the Kenya group is the right partner for you! If you become a couple, the Maxwell group company will be expanded and we will get lots of contracts and sales by partnering with each other. Think about this Stefan! I have made the right choice for you and you are to accept it”.

And then, father ended the call as I hit my foot against the table in Angers. How could he make a decision for me? Who is him to make a decision for myself? My thoughts were running wide the moment I remembered his words and everything he had said to me. I could only yell in anger, remembering the promise I had made to Alexander Black, before his death. Suddenly, I heard the sound of someone approaching. The footsteps suddenly stopped, right in my office door and before I could speak up, the door opened, revealing a young matured lady who could possibly be in her twenties. She was looking classic and tall with her blonde hair which gives her the looks of a bad rude girl. How could she come to my office without knocking on the door?

“And who told you, you could bang into my office without knocking? Who gave you such a right? Even though she was pretty, I wouldn’t forget the fact that she seems rude and arrogant. She could have this dazzling beautiful face which could make men go crazy about her but, she will never catch my attention.

“Sorry, my bad! but weren’t you told that I have been waiting under the hot weather for you since? The secretary went to inform you of my present but you didn’t make a move”. At this moment, I realized who she was. She was Ava, the CEO of the Kenya group which my father told me about. Gosh, so this was the woman he wanted me to get married to? Raven was the cute and innocent type, Lisa was cool and sexy, and the woman in front of me right now was mature and sensual which I will never think of accepting or getting married to her.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“I’m sure you know me and you must have probably heard about me Stefan! I’m your fiancée, soon to be your newly wedded wife”. She said proudly with a smile. While taking a seat. “So you’re the Ava, a CEO of the Kenya group grandpa was talking about”. “Yes!!’ she whispered with a beam as I smirked at her.

“I’m happy to see that you understand what’s happening! You’re not looking bad at all, I will say you look More cute in reality then in pictures! I didn’t make the wrong decision in picking you as my partner, after all, I’m sure you will make a Great husband and a great father to our upcoming kids”. I burst into laughter at her words and also her imagination which I knew will never happen. Not even in my next life will I think of dating her if we have chances of knowing each other.

But one thing I liked about her was her confidence and boldness to every word she wished to say.

“Just think about this husband, the Kenya group and Maxwell group could work together, the future markets would be unimaginable, later in the future if we get to cooperate with each other. And that’s Why we need to get married, in order for that to happen”. I could only look at her, pondering if she knows about my relationship with Raven.

“I understand your point Ava, but I do hope you and grandpa discuss this very well before coming to me! I’m a married man who’s a husband to the president of Black group, Raven”. I needed to be sure she knows my identity and my relationship with Raven before coming to me.

“Are you talking about Raven Black? I know her very well and I was told she will be divorcing you very soon. How could you force yourself on someone that doesn’t love you? We are a match to each other Stefan! We will make good business partners once we become a couple”.

“All you talk about is business Ava! So maybe you can look for someone that’s interested in that aspect too. I wouldn’t want to get married to someone I don’t love! And we are definitely not a good match for each other”. I expected her to be furious about what I just said but instead, she smirked at me with a mischievous grin.

You’re talking as if you know something about love! So tell me the truth, did you and Raven get married because of love
