Billionaire Ascendancy

So many thoughts came into my head as I sat down in my room. Thanks to Derek I was able to gain and earn everyone’s trust again. Not only that but I’ve got accepted into the Black family. But could it be that everything was according to my grandpa plans? To make me change my mind or what?

I decided to give him a call. And just as I had expected, he picked up his phone. Gosh, I thought he was going to snub me!

I cleared my throat as I stood up from my bed so I could talk to him well.

“Surprise to see your call son, how have you been doing?” I’m fine grandpa and you?

“I knew that you were the one behind Everything that had happened at Katherine birthday party, why did you really have to give him such an expensive gift?” I ask, hoping that he could clear my doubts. Could it be that he had done everything just to please me? I thought, still waiting for his reply as he went silent for a while.

“I’m really sorry for everything that has happened Stefan”. He was feeling sad and I could feel guilt in his tone as he spoke.

“Just as you’ve Said, I’m actually the one behind Everything that had happened from the very beginning” now I began to shudder in fear as he uttered such words. So was it really True? Wealthy filthy men do waste their money on evil things!! It was now that I finally understood such a phrase.

“Please don’t question me yet Stefan just let me confess my sin to you. He uttered as I sighed deeply. Of course I wouldn’t interrupt him.

“I literally wanted to ruin the Black family business so you could have no place to live; but I didn’t know that Alexander Black was going to die due to the stress of everything he was going through at that moment. I felt so guilty of what I have done after his death and decided to stop my plans.

I actually felt more sad and regretted my mistake when I found out that you were married to one of their daughters. “Raven Black l”

“I actually came with an idea on how to pay for the misfortune that I have caused in your life and I thought it would be better if I take the opportunity of Katherine birthday by blessing your marriage with her own together”. He said. Now this explains everything.

“So you didn’t do this unintentionally but intentionally?” I asked as I heard him sighed.

“I know that I owe you a lot Stefan but…. but I still want you to go back and inherit the family business “Stefan” it will help you and the Black family business”.

I could see the sincereness in his voice and by his tone, I knew that he meant what he’s currently telling me.

I’m I really ready to get hold of their opportunity?” Gosh, Everything feels new and exciting at the Same time.

But what he Said did actually made sense and sounded reasonable. Maybe I should say yes to him and take hold of this opportunity. Inheriting grandpa’s company will make me a wealthy man. I would no longer be looked down on and everybody will all accept me.

Not only that but some girls are most likely going to crush on me! How does it really feel to live in an adorable place where people respect you? How does it really make I

Raven feel jealous when she starts seeing me with other girls?

I suddenly thought of the amazing thing money could do for me and I know that my life will change forever if I follow this part. Of course I was going to accept his offer this time around.

“I can see that you do feel guilty for what you’ve done and for realizing that, I’m going to accept your offer grandpa”. I will gladly donate blood for your granddaughter in any way I can”. I could sense his happiness as I uttered Such words.

“Thank you so much Stefan, everything you need for the work will be provided to you tomorrow”. The call came to an end afterwards as I sighed deeply.

As snobbish as everyone in the Black family was except Alexander,, I felt sorry and indebted to them since they were hurting because of me so I agreed. Hoping that I would make up for them because of everything I had pulled them through and I suddenly felt so guilty that I’m the reason why Alexander has to die. I knew that if I had agreed with my grandpa back then, he wouldn’t have thought of targeting the Black family and even destroying them at this instant.

But it was all my fault and this is the only way I could make up to them. I’m going to be working with the Maxwell family starting from tomorrow but I wouldn’t let anyone know my identity..

I really can’t let them find out about me or my grandfather because I know that everything will become Worse once they do.

They will all say that I have been lying to them all those while!!

It was really something that they must not have to know. And besides I don’t want to spoil my reputation.

Just as I was still in deep thought, my phone vibrated, reminding me that a new message had been sent to my phone.

When I checked the message, it was another 10 Billions dollars transferred by my grandpa. I could see that he was really happy with my decision which is the reason why he had surprised me with such an amount of money. I suddenly felt like I was already on top of the world with such an amount of money given to me.

*the Next day*

“You’re really kidding right?” Raven rasped at me as I told her that I was going to work today. “But you never told me that you got a job recently”. Raven said as we got to the Parlor and met the rest of the family members.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

They were all surprised to see me dress in a black suit. I’m sure they weren’t expecting this soon. “Good morning everyone”. I greeted them as I passed by them but I was instructed to stop by Katherine.

“Where are you going this early morning?” She was so concerned about my whereabouts as I glared at Raven, giving her the sign to show the information to them. “Stefan had gotten a job”. He’s currently on his way to work “. She uttered as I smiled at them. And not quite long I heard the sound of a horn in the compound.

Raven quickly went to check who it was but couldn’t identify the person. She returns back with a stunned reaction as she tells everyone of the “luxurious lime” park at the gate which was probably sent by my grandpa. I’m sure he’s the one that sent the car.

“Mother you couldn’t believe this; you all gotta see This”. She said in a shock manner as I went outside and they followed to check the car as well. What even surprised them more was the fact that I was about to check it.

“What are you doing?”Katherine bellowed at me in shock. I think I gotta let them know of the current situation before they all think that that car personally belongs to me.

“Well, I’m sure you’all are doubting who has this car and which work I will be doing, well….” I was actually assigned to be a driver of a big luxurious company”. I uttered as their eyes widened open but they Later realized that I could be lying since they think it isn’t possible.

“Why are you playing such an expensive joke with us?” Raven’s parents ask, laughing at me in the moment as I look at them. If only they knew my identity and what I’m capable of, then I’m sure that they would have respected me More.

“Anyway don’t forget to pay us a monthly allowance”. I can see Raven trying to scold them through mime expression as I smiled. They all Later went back to the house excluding Raven who was smiling at me.

“I’m really so happy for you Stefan! work hard!! She uttered and I felt a little encouraged for once in a while. “thank you” I gotta go! I rasped at her as I entered the car.

God damn it! This feels alot better. I suddenly see and feel everything as luck on how everybody starts treating me again.

Katherine no longer scolds me or maltreats me neither any of the family members. I guess they’ve started liking me.

I arrive at the group branch in the City as an eccentric guy approaches me. Judging by his expression, I could see that he had been waiting for me all those while.

“Welcome sir”. He uttered with his head bowed in Obeisance and that surprised me. Does he know me? Who’s him? And why’s him respecting me? For a while I felt really respected by him. Nobody had ever called me sir or talked to me politely in such a way he did.

“How can I help you, who are you?” I rasped at him as he brought out an ID card. His name was “Owen” and he was the general manager of this branch.

“My name is Owen sir, your grandpa was the one that assisted me to you.” “Ohhhh, I’m Stefan”.

“You’re welcome sir”.

“Please let me know if you need any help or anything, I would gladly help you in any way I could”. He seems really sincere with his words and I thought of what he could help me with but I didn’t seem to find any.

I don’t just know what to tell him! I don’t just know what I want at the moment.

“I understand that you’re having difficulty choosing between what you want, just let me know when you’re ready”.

He uttered as we began to walk around the company and just then, an idea came to my mind.

“Well: I had never been into business before or done one so I really don’t know how it works, but… my priority is to restore the Black family business to life”. I really want the Black family business to go back to the way it was before. So I don’t know if you could help me with that.

Owen smiled as I uttered Such words.

“Of course I can help you with it, this could be done within a week of your concentration. As long as you put your mind to it, I believe that we would be able to revive it back again”.

He uttered as I thanked Him. I started learning about business with him and I finally came to understand how it works. I was so grateful for everything grandpa had done for me so far because I was able to accomplish so many things through Owen’s help and I know that it’s all thanks to grandpa who had given me such opportunities and the dream of the Black family to restore back was successful.

******

A week later, Katherine organized a family meeting and said that something very strange had happened. And I knew what it was. Of course it was because of the revival of the company but I do wonder what she was going to talk about in the meeting. I was very curious to know about her plans so I stayed during the family meeting.

“I don’t know who’s behind it but the family business was revived again”. I could see the happy countenance on everybody’s face including Raven’s own as she uttered Such words. I’m so happy that I was able to put a smile on their face again.

“But as you know, I’m getting older as days pass by and I need to choose one of my two sons as the Black family heir”. She made such statements as everyone’s eyes widened open. They weren’t expecting to hear that from her.
