Billionaire Ascendancy

Today was Katherine birthday. She’s going to be sixty years old today and I hope she will stop bullying me as well and accept me as her son in-law since the late Alexander Black , his husband, had always approved of me marrying his daughter but for Katherine it was a different case.

I will just try my best to win her heart and see if she’s going to accept me and treat me like his son.

Judging by the way the setting room was dressed and decorated, I could tell that it was a huge birthday party she’s about to do and rumors have it that she invited some powerful rich people in the area and some of his business partners. I can’t just wait to see how the party will go.

My excitement dropped the moment I saw Raven and her mother talking to each other.

“I’m really happy with grandmother’s decision honey, you should be happy that she’s using this opportunity to look for young and rich husband for you Raven so you should put on your best dressing today “.

“I know that mother and I’m just so happy about it”. She looks so happy just as she had said. So I will be devoicing her today afterwardsAll text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Some Hours Later, the party got started. I could hear the sound of music from the setting room and the chatting of people over the corner. I don’t just feel like going to that party but I have no choice then to. At least Katherine has to know that I still came to celebrate with her even though I have no gift for her.

I had put on my wedding suits hoping that I would be able to fit in, among the men that will come to the occasion today. Shivers run down my spine as I step into their midst and I could see all eyes on me. They were probably whispering and gossiping about me right now to be the useless Man who Isabella would be devoicing today.

The setting room was filled with lots of people, especially men on a sult like Me who look so wealthy and without a doubt I knew that they were the one who had come with the intentions of marrying raven today

I finally found a seat close to Katherine and sat there. I caught a glimpse of Raven who was currently flirting with some of the men who had given her valuable expensive gifts just to win her heart.

And she looks so happy with that. What a cheater she was.

I was really so furious and which that I had never come to the party. Checkig my wristwatch the time was clocking 5pm. They should hurry up with whatever they’re doing and let me get the hell out of here.

So if Katherine successfully hands her to one of the men here, I’m going to meet my grandpa and take over the family business that’s after I had donate some blood to his granddaughter. So I’m going to ask Katherine some money for a plane ticket so that I can travel the next day because I knew that once he got married to another man, then, there isn’t any need for me to stay with them.

I walked up to Katherine who was having some conversation with the guest as she excused herself and walked up to me not far away from the crowd.

Happy birthday to you ma’am!! I uttered with a smile as she said “thank you” and went back to the guests who she was having a conversation with before.

“I will be so happy and wouldn’t have nothing to do with the Black family again if you could give me money for plane ticket; I know that you will be handing Isabella to some of the men right now and I would have no reason to be staying in the Black family again which is the reason why I’m requesting that from you ma’am. I added “, ma’am” trying to be polite but her gaze tell me that she was furious at me.

Gosh, what have I done to wrong her again? I thought.

“I would only give it to you if only you devoice my granddaughter Today”.

“Sure I will! since that had always been your wish”. Katherine went out to bring the devoice paper and hand it over for me to sign. Just as I was about to sign the paper, some men and ladies walked into the crowd pulling everybody’s attention at the moment.

I decided to drop the paper down first to know what they came here for before proceeding with it.

And it seems like Katherine didn’t remember inviting such people because she was looking so shocked on who had invited them.

They were currently with some gifts. One person was singing while the one holding one was playing a trumpet. And one of them brought out a gift from a box and handed it over to her.

“Happy birthday to you ma’am”. They sang an happy birthday song to her.

“Someone said we should give this to you ma’am, sorry to startle you”. Katherine’s mouth gaped open as she opened the box and brought out a classic silver ball gown, which comes with shoes and bag then jewelry to wear in it.

Truth be told, Katherine had seen this dress on the internet some Hours ago while searching for what to wear on her birthday when she came across it but couldn’t buy it.

Judging by the quality of the clothes, she could tell how expensive it was and how it can buy all the Black family property.

“Wow, this is really so amazing”. She exclaimed in joy as she thanked them. Everybody were all surprised by the quality of the gifts and so was I! Who could have sent such gifts?

“May I know who gave you this gift?” She shrugged at them as they all stared at the door, expecting a person, when someone who looked like Derek showed up. What’s him doing? I thought.
