Billionaire Ascendancy

Chapter 37

My face changed completely when she mentioned the divorce case to me. Ohh shit, how could I possibly forget about that? Not to show my sad face for her, I hid it with a smile which got her confused on the reason why I was smiling. “I know that Ava, and once I got home, I will proceed on that”. With a happy look, she gave me an unexpected hug which I returned back in order to please her so she won’t be able to report me to grandpa. “So I was planning on hugging out with my friends this afternoon, it’s actually a birthday party and I will be pleased and happy if you can go with me”. My heart sank at her request. Looking for an excuse to give her when an idea struck in my mind. Of course she had already known about this so there’s no way she could reject my request.

“But I do hope you’re aware that I will be going home today right after we are done with our conversation?” Just by looking at her, I can see how convinced she was with what I just said. “Ohhh! I have forgotten about that, maybe we could go out together when I come to Korea ”. She spoke with a smile as I nodded my head in agreement with her words. “That will be better Ava, will give you a call once I get home”. I smiled at her then walked away. Gosh, I just can’t imagine why she would be happy when I told her about my divorce with Raven. Does she really think that I will be with her forever even though we get married today? Let her keep dreaming because nothing like that will ever happen. Once I get home, I will try to reassure Raven about my decision and let her know of my identity before proceeding with my plans.

While in the car heading to the airport, Lisa asked me how our conversation went and I explained to her. Right in the plane, I saw a member of the Black family in the same plane I was and on noticing his curious gaze at me, I quickly pretended to be someone who didn’t see him nor someone that comes here with Lisa who seems to be pondering why I was looking like that. “Is everything okay sir?” Lisa shrugged at me as I Blink my eyes at her and no less than a second later, she understood my mime expression and quickly adjusted herself. “Isn’t this Stefan?” I heard Raven uncle uttered and I didn’t bother to look back at him at the corner where he was sitting close to me. He doesn’t need to recognise me. I just pretended like someone that didn’t see him or heard him and throughout the ride, he didn’t bother to talk to me again as he could only give me a suspenseful gaze which I ignored.

We finally arrived in Korean as I came down from the car while Lisa went to carry our luggages. Right at the airport, my luxurious car was already park at one place, waiting for me. I turned at Lisa as I was about to enter the car and drive away. “I guess this is where we part our way sir, please take care of yourself”. Lisa shrugged at me with her head bow as I smile slightly at her.

When I got to the Black family, nobody was home except Katherine who had acted like she had seen a ghost. The way she was currently looking at me right now got me confused, but I ignored Such foolish acts of hers and greeted her without minding. “Good afternoon ma’am”. I said with a smile but was forced to halt my footsteps and turn to look at her. “Where are you coming from? Why did you come back here? Do you really think you belong to this family?? She uttered with a roar voice which portrayed Angers and hatred for me. “Please ma’am, can’t you just let me have peace in this house? I’m your Grandson In-law so why are you treating me this way?”

“Shut the fuck up Stefan. how do you expect me to treat you a better human when you don’t offer anything to my granddaughter, shouldn’t you suppose to move with her to your house? Go and ask Derek whether he will carry his girlfriend to his parents house to sleep with! How could you even sleep with my granddaughter in my own matrimonial home Stefan, I can’t even believe that Raven shamelessly offered her body to someone like you “. I fist my hands in Angers, wishing I could retreat back at her for speaking to me in that way but I couldn’t. I’m just respecting her for one thing . “Just a point of corrections Aunt, I and Raven didn’t sleep together! We only kissed okay! Is that what you want to hear? I furiously snapped at her and the next thing I received was a slap on my face which made my head turn and gave me the reason why I needed to divorce Raven and marry Ava of Kenya group in order for me to get what I wanted.

“And you even have the right to make me understand that you kissed her! Are you really out of your mind? Aren’t you even Ashamed of yourself? With a frown look on my face, I walked out of her Angrily, in order to avoid myself from insulting her because if she continues to talk to me in such a way, I might lose my home training and can even hit her which I don’t want.

“Come back here Stefan! Don’t you dare Walk out of me!! She roared at me but I didn’t give her a gaze as I walked straight to my room to change and take a rest.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Not quite long, I received a call from Ava who had called me three times without me noticing. I picked up the call and put it on speaker since I was arranging some of my clothes in the wardrobe which seems to have scattered.

“Baby, how was your flight to Korean? You’re home already right?” Her voice echoed through my ears over the phone as I nodded my head. “Yes baby!!” I replied back to her and that was when I saw my door opening and there behold Raven who was staring at me.

“So Tell me, have you eaten?” At that moment I didn’t know what to do other than ending the call and turning to look at Raven who had walked into my room Without my permission. “I see Stefan, you’ve got a new lover”. She shrugged at me as I Scoffed. I know she will get this wrong, now how do I explain things to her?
