Billionaire Ascendancy

I was about to go to my room when I saw raven on a call . So I decided to eavesdrop and know who she was speaking with.

“Derek, please , I need your help!!!” She sounded so passionate and serious in her tone

“Is this about the Black family business?” Derek asked over the phone as she sniffed her nostrils and hummed. “yes”. She let out her thoughts, thinking that he would be able to help them but I don’t think he can.

Derek isn’t the Maxwell family son nor relative. He was just the assistant of the richest man in the whole world so I don’t think he would be able to convince my grandpa into helping them.

“Ohhhh Raven, please try not to get involved in the two companies’ fight”. Derek said over the phone.

“So tell me Derek, how much will it cost to settle everything?”

“I don’t think that’s necessary, please just try to stay away from these family business issues. You must not have to put your mouth on it because that isn’t necessary especially when you guys are competing against the Maxwell family company.

“The Maxwell family had lost hundreds of billions of dollars to make Alexander lose the crucial deal, so there’s nothing I can do to help”. Raven was stunned on hearing Derek saying that.

She was really shocked to her bone that she couldn’t talk any further but to open her mouth wide open at what he had told her. I’m sure she was so disappointed because she wasn’t expecting his no answer to her.

“Can you tell me something?” Sure! Derek replied from the phone.

“Why’s the Maxwell family destroying the Black family?” She asked over the phone but didn’t reply. “Shit, just get out of my phone since you wouldn’t be of any help”.

I felt guilty and came to raven’s room to ask her if Derek would help but she didn’t say anything. I guess she felt sad and didn’t want to tell me anything about the conversation which she had with Derek. But unknown to her, she thinks I didn’t hear their conversation.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Why don’t you want to tell me what Derek said to you?” I asked, trying to pissed her off and I could see how furious she was towards me.

“It’s none of your business please so stay out of this’ ‘. She uttered as I scoffed. Glaring at her beautiful face and I feel kinda sorry for everything that has been happening to the Blackfamily. What if I’m the reason behind this?

“I think I’m the reason behind why your family was targeted!!” I shrugged at her as she burst into laughter. I’m sure you must have thought that I’m joking or something. I said as she took a deep breath.

“Of course you’re joking!” What you’re saying Right now is totally ridiculous. How could you say such a thing? It’s not like you even know Derek or any of the black family. “I know Raven and if you could listen to me I might be of help to you!!”

“Gosh!!” I don’t know why you’re proving so stubborn but I aren’t going to believe someone like you know the Maxwell family or even to think that everything is just happening because of you”. Please don’t lie to me that you’re a member of the Maxwell family?

She uttered as I felt so disappointed at her. I just feel like punching her. It’s not really her fault. I can’t blame her for how low she thinks of me. Everybody thinks that I’m just a poor destitute man who was founded from the Trash. They probably think that I have no background or parents or home. But it will be very surprising for them when they know that I’m the grandson of Maxwell who’s currently competing with them and would stop at nothing until they went bankrupt. But if only Raven could give me a listening ear to my words, everything would have been better.

But she doesn’t. She’s just like everyone who looks down on me. But I really thought maybe she will be different from others since I’m married to her but she doesn’t care.

“It’s really none of your business to care or show your concern about the Black family okay?” Just take care of yourself and puke your nose out of the family business. She uttered with a harsh tone as I scoffed.

“Please leave my room Stafen, I need some privacy”. I quickly stood up without saying anything and walked away in shame because I was a bit embarrassed with her words back then.

I could only feel bad for myself remembering what Raven had Shrugged to me Back then. I feel really sad and wish that I could be of help to them. Just then an idea came to me. Maybe I could talk to Alexander. I’m sure he would listen to me just as he had always been doing.

Just then, we bumped into each other over dinner as I cleared my throat in nervousness and anxiety. “Don’t even think of telling me any nonsense thing if you aren’t going to be of any help, Stefan”. She said that as my spirit of telling him my thoughts died immediately. I couldn’t. Not with his low thought about me.
