Billionaire Ascendancy

Author’s POV

Raven was so eager to see Stefan since she had missed him a lot. Upon knowing the fact that he will be coming back from Singapore today, she left work earlier and headed home, hoping to see him since she was aware of his return.

The First thing Raven did was to approach his room after dropping her bag off in her own room. She opened the door which lead to Stefan Room and since the door wasn’t locked, she didn’t bother to knock on it at all, but while on the process of opening the door, she find out he was making a call and decided wait for a while since he needed some privacy but raven couldn’t wait. She noticed that he put the phone on speaker and the voice of the person speaking with him sounded more like a female voice. In curiosity, she opened the door only to see him in the wardrobe area, arranging his clothes while the phone was on the bed. It was at this moment he knew that someone had entered the room and he was very shocked as the person turned out to be Raven. He quickly went towards the bed and ended the call immediately on seeing her.

“I see, you’ve got a new lover”. Raven snapped at him, in conclusion of the conversation she heard them making. “Why would you say such a thing Raven? Please don’t misunderstand the situation, she isn’t my lover, just a friend”. Stefan retreated back at her, closing the wardrobe while he leaned towards her.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“So, do you refer to your friend as ‘baby’ when you guys are talking to each other? I see you’ve already made new friends Stefan! I know what I heard so you can’t deceive me that she’s just an ordinary friend of yours”. Raven was about to walk away when he held her hand. “Please don’t get it twisted, she’s just my friend okay?! Raven rolled her eyes at him in Angers, signaling him to let go of her hands which he did.

“She’s always your friend of course, I’m a fool to believe that someone who you once hugged and referred to as ‘baby’ it’s just your friend and there’s no romantic feelings attached between the two of you. You lied to me that she isn’t going to the trip with you guys but she eventually went right! And if I’m not mistaken, her name is Lisa right? The lady who I had seen that day at the Maxwell group company, you’re free to have your relationship with her because she got everything you’re looking for”. Raven retorted at Him and walked away in anger. Frustratedly, Stefan hit his leg against the table, while crushing the pillow down from the bed. “Why can’t she just listen to me? Why will my life be this miserable? He asks no one in particular, his eyes boiling in anger.

Raven was pained. She never wanted to share her man with anyone and since Stefan was a destitute guy, she had never thought that a lady could fall for someone like him. What’s there for a lady to like about him? Is it his Handsome face or his body stature which could make a girl go crazy? Apart from that she knew there’s nothing he can offer again. But she pondered on how someone as wealthy and classic as Lisa could fall for someone like him. She really needs to divorce him because she can’t keep up with his characters. Not anymore.

The next day, Stefan dressed up and went to work. He was taking over as the president of the Maxwell group company since Kendrick had given Him the right to do that. But he vows to keep his identity hidden from the Black family and the outside world. He doesn’t want anyone to know he’s now the president of the Maxwell group in order to avoid frenemies who are likely going to fight him to give up the company. He was currently seated at the head chair as the (The manager of the Maxwell group) in order for them not to know his identity, he decided to be the manager who’s in charge. Owen approached him and decided to know why he was yet to let everyone know that he was now the president of the Maxwell group.

“Good morning sir”. Owen greeted with his head bowed in obeisance, respecting him like before. “Was thinking that you will let everyone know that you’re the president of the Maxwell group but instead, you introduce yourself as a manager, may I know your reason for that??”

Stefan smiled at his words. “I have my reason for that Owen so don’t worry and besides, I think this isn’t the right time for them to know about my identity! I need to know among them who’s likely going to betray the company”.
