Billionaire Ascendancy

I was woefully thrown out of the company by the security guards who had warned me never to come inside or ever think of stepping my foot there again. And I guess I have to obey his command and to his wish also.

Everything makes me frustrated and upset, especially with the fact that my parents used to say “I don’t need to worry about my future”. And right now I’m currently having a hard time because of their words. If only I knew a day like this will come when I will be on my own without their helpNôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

If only they would have let me work back then, then I believe I wouldn’t be suffering this way. If only they could have given me the opportunity to work just like them instead of me sitting down waiting for them to provide for all my needs. And now I’m the one having a hard time.

I do believe this was the way my Life ought to be. It’s my fate which I must accept and pass through whatever obstacles that may come my way as Life began. I gotta think of a way to survive poverty.

I passed by a café and suddenly caught a glimpse of someone who looked like Raven. Her gray hair actually gives me the clue she might be the one. But then again, I have some doubts. What’s she doing here?

And damn it, she was actually chatting with an eccentric Man which I know nothing of. I guess that man could be one of her suitors who’s a die hard fan of hers. Of course she was a beautiful elegant lady who every man will be lucky to have. Funny enough, just two days after our Union as a married couple she had already started cheating on me thereby moving from one suitors to others. I would have expected Such character from her the moment she start flirting with Jerry, on that day of our wedding. I guess she never likes me as a person. She just accept to marry me. That’s all! I guess I mean nothing to her.

Curious to know who this man was, I decided to drop by the cafeteria to eavesdrop in their conversation. I need to know what she’s up to!

I can see both joy and sadness in her eyes as she looks at the young man sitting close to her with so much interest. He was putting on a black suit which gave me the vibe that he must be some wealthy businessman who had decided to drop by, so they could have a conversation together since This was the perfect place for them to be because I know some people like him hardly get time.

She was looking at him so awkwardly and weird that he was so uncomfortable by her countenance.

“I know you’ve been running and hiding from me for a while now Derek! Probably because you don’t wish to see me, but let me tell you something that you should know and be aware of; I’m finally married now, so you don’t have to hide from me or lie for me anymore”. She explained to the man as a smile crept through my lips.

At least it wasn’t what I was thinking about. It was a totally different thing which they were discussing . I thought maybe she was one of his mistresses.

I watched as the eccentric Man Called “Derek” smiled and congratulated her by giving her a hand shake.

“I’m sure you must be happy with your newly wedded husband Raven”. I wish you a happy married Life with your husband”.

He praised her, but the look on her face wasn’t a good one. It was as if she wasn’t happy with what he had said to her.

“Are you trying to mock me knowing the fact that we couldn’t get married to each other even though you know how much I love you and always wish to be with you! Stefan, my newly wedded husband, is a useless Man. He has no Job and does nothing. I wonder why I agreed to get married to him in the first place”. Shiver ran down my spine the moment I heard her saying negative things about me.

She really did marry me in order to stop the contract marriage between her and Jerry to take place. Of course she had no choice and so did I!

Furthermore, I felt like crying at this moment. Is this really how this girl sees me and thinks of me? I thought she was different. I thought she loved me even though she married me because she had no choice.

“I want you to know that ever since I got married to that Man, I haven’t been happy. I don’t even see him as my husband. I only see him as a stranger who I’m staying with! “Derek, I want you to know that I’m still single and searching if you’re looking for someone to marry, please don’t hesitate to call me because I’m available and I’m willing to divorce him just to get married to you “. She uttered in tears and stood up to walk away. luckily for me, she didn’t see me although I was seated close to them but I backed them with my back.

Gosh, that was hard! I peeked at Derek who was currently looking around the café, and we caught a glimpse of each other. Our eyes met each other and he seemed surprised to see me. Does he know me? I really don’t understand the look he’s giving me right now.

“Mr. Maxwell! I’m really surprised to see you Here”. He uttered as I looked back and forth, thinking that he might be referring to another person and not me, but I guess wrong because his gaze on me says it all.

“Judging by your countenance, you look shocked and surprised to see me”. Did you know me before? I questioned him as he took a deep breath and smiled at me.

“I had seen you a couple of times when I was with my grandfather back then”.

He uttered as I scoffed. What’s this man talking about? Did he pulls my attention just to tell joke on me, or is he actually here to lie to my face

I thought as he sighed. “I know what you’re thinking, I can see that by your expression but don’t worry and believe me because I know a lot more about you than you know”. He uttered, making me flush more in surprise.

“You look the same as You’ve looked in childhood Mr. Maxwell. I guess your Face never changed”. He uttered keeping me in suspense once again as he smiled at me, staring at me keenly.

“But what are you doing here? Where have you been all these while? He asked and I felt like telling him about my condition but I couldn’t bring myself to do that. I can’t just say I was sneaking up on Raven , my wife , when I saw him. Because he might know that I’m that useless husband she has been talking about.

“How’s your grandfather? Have you heard from him?” He asked, actually as proof that he did actually know me. But where exactly did he know me from? I can’t remember knowing him as a part of my family members.

“Do you also know my grandfather?” I asked in confusion as he nodded his head. Of course I know your grandfather. I have known a lot about you since childhood.

Now, this man is making me curious. Who’s he exactly? “Pls can you tell me more about my childhood??”
