Billionaire Ascendancy

“How would everything be alright when grandmother is taking sides with uncle? What she’s doing isn’t right at all. Raven cried on her mother’s shoulder and that broke me down. I do hope she could just save the tears for later and gather it to question Katherine on her wrong cheated decisions. “No Matter what happens I won’t let my uncle be the Heir of the company, I will get the Black family group business back for dad”. She spoke out with a running nose as I sighed. Uncle had already gone away with grandmother and it was only us remaining at the hospital, before going away Raven went to the ward to see her father. Probably to promise him and let him know that no matter what happened she won’t allowed uncle to lead the family group. Not in her presence. When we got home, it was getting late. “Stop crying Raven! I think you should save your tears for another, please come inside and take a rest”. I uttered, holding her hand as she let go of my grip. “You can go inside to freshen up Stefan but I need to have a word with aunt. She needs to tell me her reason for her actions”. And with that being Said, I let go of her as I watched her from the staircase then to the setting room where she approached Katherine. “Since you promised to make Dad the heir, most of the shares go to Dad. And I, as Daddy’s daughter, am the first heir”. I could only shake my head sadly on hearing her saying that to Katherine who was just looking at her but couldn’t say anything and finally, she decided to say a word. “I do understand what you’re saying honey! I got your point very well but you don’t have enough resources as Richard has okay! So for the sake of the company, I would let Richard manage the company first. Your dad could be the president once he woke up from the coma”. Katherine shrugged to her, which I knew was all lies.

“Dad would become the president once he wakes up? I retreated under my breath. She’s really annoying and deceiving, I just hope Raven wouldn’t accept such decisions from her right now. “But that’s a lie grandmother, why are you doing this to me? She yelled at her frustratedly, furious at the low chance she had of becoming the heir to replacing her father. “I have many resources, mother , which you aren’t aware of! At least I know Derek who would help me! I know Derek whose uncle didn’t know”. At the mention of the words ‘ Derek’ my face turns pale immediately. Why’s she bringing him into these conversations? Does she really think Derek would help her? I thought, glaring at her over the staircase with lots of anger.

And aunt was convinced a little by her words because her expression did show that. “Talk to me grandmother, what can I do to become the president”. At the interrogation of such questions from Raven, I saw aunt’s eyes on me which sent shivers down my spine and made me ponder what she’s trying to say that made her take a look at me. “Good question honey, glad you finally learned how to ask the right questions”. I heard her say with a smirk at me. “I’m willing to let you take over the company under one condition”. I was having bad feelings about this. The way grandmother was looking at me actually told me that I’m under one of her conditions if not she won’t be giving me this creepy mocking look.

“What condition aunt? Say it, I’m ready to do whatever it takes”. At This point, I could only watch in suspense, hoping and praying that I aren’t among the conditions if not. I know Raven is willing to decline me in order to win the company so if it’s that way then aunt had finally won with her plans. “I will let you run the family business if only you will divorce Stefan, that your useless husband and find Derek, or find someone like him who’s capable of marrying”. I clenched my fist in Anger at her words as I bit my tongue so hard, my teeth clutching at each other but my heart melted away the moment I felt Raven gaze. I was awaiting her decision even though I already knew what it was but I do pray and hope that it can be different from the one I have thought. But I was scared with the complicated gaze she was giving me and it wasn’t satisfying at all. I know it! I lost the bet to them.

“Sure I will Aunt! I’m ready to do anything in order to become part of the family Heir business even though it means for me to divorce Stefan who I wouldn’t hesitate to”. My heart flutters in shock on hearing her words. I couldn’t help myself but go crazy over her decision to divorce me. I wanted to ask her a question. And let her know why she suddenly has to regret it all of a sudden but I couldn’t. There’s no need for that since my question won’t make her Change her mind. “I’m happy to hear Such replied from you honey! I can see that you’ve already grown up now and you can make decisions on your own”. Aunt praised her with a proud face while looking at me, wanting to see my reactions.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Just give me a month to deal with the situation, grandmother! Just one month is enough for all those things to be solved “. She pleaded with Aunt who was satisfied with her condition and her right decision This time around.

“Can we have a deal? “Sure, go ahead”. Aunt responded to her. “I do hope during that one month you won’t give the management to uncle Richard? I do hope you will keep according to your promise”. Raven said and I was surprised at how smart she was. “Sure favorite granddaughter! We now have a deal”. I heard Aunt said with a smirk at me, as I walked away sadly.
