Billionaire Ascendancy

“Is there anything you’re looking for on my Behalf?” You know that I won’t be at home by this time but you choose to come here. Are you perhaps looking for something that could help you with what you’re planning?”” At this moment, she was crying as I asked her those questions.

“I’m sorry!!”” That was all she could say as she was sniffing her nostrils. “didn’t you come here to tell me something or to find out what I will say to you?” And again, she apologized to me that she was sorry. “I know you must have probably heard the news by now.. it’s just spreading like varus and I can’t believe I’m standing in front of you right now, to give you an explanation on what happened over the news”. At this point, I chose to pretend like someone who didn’t understand what she was Saying.

“What news are you talking about?” I shrugged at her as I took a seat knowing that this was gonna go a long way. Our conversation and everything.

“okay. I know you’ve seen everything and you choose to ignore it. Please give me the chance to prove to you that everything was all lies cooked up by whoever that must have plotted this”. I couldn’t help but smirk as she made such statements. “Do you want me to believe you? How do you expect me to believe you when everything seems so true? You were even romancing the Man. You were so horny in the video that you wanted him to have sex with you, is there any way you can explain this matter?*Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

I shrugged at her, before she could Ever think of lying to me which I will never support her. “please, just give me the chance to explain everything to you”. She uttered and I chose to give her such a chance for five minutes, for her to explain whatever she wanted to say because my mind had already been made up and no matter of explanation could make me believe her at the moment.

“Everything all started when Raven and her friend invited me to a club just to have fun and all that so I went with them. A drink was brought to us and we drank together. But not so soon, Raven receives a call from her mother who requested for her to come home so she leaves her chair immediately and makes her way out. I was left with her friend so we discussed and talked about many things. As we were talking, some men approached us and asked her friend and the other one talked to me. I couldn’t remember what happened next but I suddenly felt so dizzy and slumbering so he offered to take me to a room…!!!!! “Stop!!”

I whispered to her over the statement she was making on finding something to be missing. “At that moment , wasn’t her friend there? Why didn’t you tell her friend that you were feeling dizzy and all that so he could take you to the room instead of that man?”

I question her as she finds it hard to answer my questions. Of course she wouldn’t know what to say because I believe those pictures and I believe the internet and everything that was stated there. “I know but I didn’t know what came over me at that moment as I was feeling dizzy, horny and all different kind Of things I couldn’t understand. So I guess he took me to the room and I wake-up to see myself in the room the next day. I couldn’t remember anything that happened that night. The Man took me to the room but I’m aware that he was sent by someone to do all of these things’ ‘.

And with her words, I realized how stupid and foolish she was. I really don’t know why she can’t seem to see the wrong there and Those behind Everything that has happened. “So are you trying to tell me that you’re telling the truth right now and all that was posted on the internet was a pure lie?” She nodded her head at my words as I decided to give her a chance of knowing who’s behind everything by talking in parables which I expect her to understand.

“Now in the first place how could you go out with your boyfriend’s ex who you don’t know her thoughts towards you? How could you do Such mistake of going out with her without knowing what she’s capable of or what she can do? I really don’t know what you see in Raven but I didn’t expect you to make friends with her the moment you know we will be getting married to each other”.

I made such a parable at her as she exhaled deeply and cleaned off her tears. “Please believe me. I’m really innocent of all Those accusations they’ve made on me”. She shrugged at me as I instructed her to go home.

“I really don’t know what to tell you Ava but right now your image has been tarnished and you don’t even know Those behind it so you could force them to confess to their sin if what you’re saying is true ”.

I was sad and happy for her at this moment as I Found this as an opportunity to leave her. Just a week close to the wedding and this had already happened. But thinking about this, I don’t think Raven is capable of doing Such thing. She’s too innocent for that to engage in Such act.

“I’m sorry to say this but I believe everything I’m hearing about you. I wouldn’t even be surprised if a man had shown up on that day at the wedding claiming to be your husband or fiance. I think everything has a reason and this actually happened, for me to know the kind of person you were”.. I let out Those unpleasant words to her even though I knew that it can be painful and harsh at the same time.

“Do you believe the news over me?” I could see the Angry Tone in her voice as she questioned me about those words.

“I haven’t really known you like that neither would I be able to detect when you’re lying or not. But to save both our time for this relationship and know whether it’s going to work, I want you to find out whoever that might be behind this if truly you’re innocent. Make the person confess to his/her sin and don’t ever try to fake a person to do this. After confessing to their sin, that person will have to serve jail for months for doing this to you”.

I know my condition was hard but she needs to fulfill it before I can believe her. “I guess I have made myself clear enough, haven’t I! You’re left to Make a choice on your own Ava. It’s never too late and I’m giving you three days to find the person or we have to cut off the engagement”.

I shrugged at her then walked away. Leaving her to think the hell about her life. I went to my room and pulled off my clothes and went to the bathroom to take my bath. As the water was splashing on my face, the moment of Raven came to my mind. Causing me pains and wishing that we could be together. I was really in pain, you know. I’ve always loved her and wish we could be together but the way she treated me and looked down on that day made me change my instinct and thoughts about her.

I do wish to find True love again. Someone that will help me grow. Someone that will be there for me and ready to grow old with me but I guess Such ladies never exist. Ladies nowadays do run after men because of their money.

I Make my way out of the bathroom and put on my nightwears. Just as I was about picking my phone, it rang out and the call was from grandpa. I know he had called me concerning the news.

“Good evening father, how are you doing?”. I rasped in at him over the phone as he replied back by asking me how My day went before going straight to the reason why he had called me. “I’m sure you know the reason why I’m calling you son. This is about Ava”. I let out a deep breath as he reminded me about it. Now what does he want me to do? Was him calling to advise me about her? I thought and chose to reply rudely.

“And so what grandpa? I really don’t know why everyone is calling me over these issues. You’ve been the one rating about her by saying that she’s good and all that but just look at the reputation she’s making already.

Just imagine what would have happened if we got married before all of this was happening. How do you think I should have felt about grandfather? Please think about this before thinking of advising me about anything concerning her”.

I bellowed at him before he could ever think of trying to advise me which I know is what he’s trying to do. He’s just scared that the cooperation will be terminated if I choose to break up with her, which I will gladly accept because I never loved her Or feels anything for her.

“I understand how you feel Stefan but hear me out. I’m disappointed as well and even though it’s True, it can be a deadly mistake she made and you have to let go of that. Everyone does make mistakes in life and we just gotta forgive each other. Trust me Stefan I know her Ava parents very well and I’m sure they didn’t Train her in such a way. Can’t you see? Everything looked like plans by the enemy who had been finding every means to destroy her and that was the opportunity for them. Forget about everything that has happened today. Don’t let it change your mindset. I will contact those people and make them delete those news”. I bit my lips in anger as I Heard everything he had Said. As always, he wouldn’t stop defending her. I really don’t know what he likes about her ; he’s always ready to defend her.

“I’m sorry to disagree with you but everything isn’t how you see it. I believe that the news is very true. How could a man take pictures of her Without her knowing? Okay, let ‘s just assume that she was drunk in those videos, but how could a drunk person’s voice be so clear as her when she makes such statements? I know you like Ava and think about her as a daughter grandpa but I can’t cope with her character. I’m actually happy that such a thing happened. At least I was able to find out about what she was doing behind my back all those whiles. Just imagine if this happened after we’ve married. Do you know how I would have felt? I understand what you’re saying but i think you should go back to the post again and watch it. I’m really affected with all Those news more than you because I never thought she’s capable of something like that”. I decided to pause my words knowing that he was getting convinced with my words.

“Please father. Allowed me to make a choice this time around. At this moment my life is at Risk and if I end up marrying her, I would be mocked by people. Everybody will laugh at me and might even laugh at the Maxwell family for having someone like her as their daughter in-law. This wasn’t something I wanted or something that I wanted to happen. I’ve always thought I could try to love her but not on this rumor that has spread everywhere”. “I understand your thoughts and feelings. I really don’t know what to say again but you can make a choice in this situation. Just let me know if you want to end this relationship with her so I could find another lady for you or you look for a woman of your choice”.

I was excited to hear Such words from grandpa. At least he understands my feelings this time around and for Once, he considered how I might have felt towards everything that was happening and chose to let me make my choice. “Thank you grandfather. I will let you know of my decisions once I’m done making it but for now let me think about it “. The call came to an end as I rolled over the bed in happiness realizing that I will soon be free from her. Telling him my decision now will make it seem like I have been waiting for this to happen all Those whiles and here it was which I took hold of. Throughout that night I couldn’t help but smile at myself. On the other hand I was scared that she wouldn’t end up bringing any evidence that could prove her innocence. If not, I have to keep to my word by getting married to her.
