Billionaire Ascendancy

“Is that really necessary?” I asked Raven’s mother as she gave me a dangerous gaze. Just then, my phone beams with a message.

It was from Derek, and he was requesting me to meet him later. What does he want from me this time around? And why did he have to tell my grandfather about me? I thought as my father-in-law snapped his fingers at me, bringing me back to reality and I had to flash my eyes in shock at what he had Said.

He walked towards me then gave me a thundering slap across my face as he took my phone from me then slammed it on the ground. I can feel his anger. He thought I was deliberately ignoring him when I was staring at Derek’s message and I guess he was irritated at that. But must he have to overdo it by slamming my phone on the ground?

Does he really have the Right to do that all because he’s my father-in-law?

“I really blame my father for having you to marry my daughter Raven. I wonder why he had to hand over my daughter to someone like you Stefan”, you’re not only useless, but you’re also playing dumb on everything”. …

“I wonder if you don’t have a brain or your common sense has left you”. He uttered as his wife, Raven’s mother burst into laughter.

“If he continues to behave this way, I will have my daughter to divorce him”. I don’t know why my grandfather went ahead of us to wed this commoner to my daughter. It’s really an insult to me, but I guess I’m going to bear it”.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

She was acting like someone who was about to cry as she said those words.

I felt so down. I felt so insulted by their words and had hoped that I could just leave here immediately. What’s all that nonsense I’m seeing? Such pathetic set of human beings, with no heart whatsoever.

Tears threaten to stream out of my eyes as I look at them. It’s really not their fault but my fate which has led me here because I know that if I was currently in my office working by now, they wouldn’t have the Right to utter such words to me even though they were my manager or the CEO of the company.

But I really can’t blame them and wish that I had never made such a mistake of getting married into their family in the first place.

I feel like yelling and retorting back at Him, but I couldn’t. I have got to respect my father-in-law. Without saying Many words,

I pick up my phone and walk out of them. They were all Dumbfounded because they were expecting me to kneel down and apologize to them. But I am going to do any of those things and belittle myself more. I’m tired of their stupid behaviours, so I have to be myself again.

I went outside and boarded a cab to meet Derek who had told Me to meet him in a so_so_ place before my wicked father-in-law actually slammed my phone down.

Likewise, I’m indeed lucky though because just imagine if he hadn’t messaged me earlier to see him, I would have missed the chance of seeing him. But I do wonder what he’s going to tell me this time around.

A smile crept through his lips as he sighted me walking towards him. “Good evening Young master, how have you been doing? He shrugged at me as I sat down. “I’m fine and you?”

I Shrugged back at him. “Fine!! “How was your grandfather’s proposal?” He shrugged at me as I scoffed.

“I’m very surprised you seem to know everything we would have probably talked about, how do you know about my grandpa’s proposal?” I asked, waiting for his reply this time around as he beams a satisfied smile.

“I have been your grandfather’s assistant Stefan, and I was aware that he had been looking for you which is the reason why I had collected your number the first day I saw you and gave it to your grandpa who had been finding every Means to speak with his son. He said as my eyes widened open. Raven did actually know him well.

“Your grandfather is “Aurther Maxwell” Alexander!” He’s the richest man in the whole world who needs his grandson back. “Can you do me a favor?” He said as I nodded my head.

“I actually want you to go to a country and look for your grandpa”. He’s desperately looking for you and wants to see you because I can see that he has something important to say to you!” Your grandfather needs you Stefan”. He Said as I took a deep breath.
