Billionaire Ascendancy

***”You’re not qualified enough to be one of our workers. Maybe you should take your leave”.

“Please can you show me your school certificate? To know if truly you’re qualified for this job because you look so much like illiterate”, I’m sure you must have a school certificate, please let us take a look at it before proceeding into the next step”.

“Is this not that useless Stefan that got married to Raven two days ago? I heard it was a forced marriage.***

Walking slowly in this busy road where vehicles and people move around to their daily basic of life, a thought came into my mind as I hissed . Those negative words of theirs kept repeating into my ears as I sighed deeply, trying to shake off such thoughts that might likely spoil my mood today.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

What Can I say? My life crumbled down after the very death of my parents. Back then I could barely cater for myself before Alexander Black came to rescue me from poverty. He adopted me and made me marry his granddaughter (Raven) who was about to fall victim into marrying an old Man that can die at any moment because of his wealth.

Apart from the fact that I was impoverished Alexander Black saw me as the perfect man for his granddaughter who couldn’t resist me since she had no choice. So I got married to her two days ago and I’ve already been the talk of the town. Lots of people was present at the wedding, including the members of the Black family, their friends, guests and well wishes.. sadly they all seem to know my story. Of course Katherine, Alexander Black, wife introduce me to them.

The people who came to the wedding all make mockery of me after learning the truth from Katherine, who bad mouth me to them all because of the fact that she doesn’t want me to marry her granddaughter. They all laughed at me knowing the fact that I was a destitute man who wasn’t fit to become their grandson-in-law. It hurts really badly. Everything Hurts, which is the reason why I’m trying to prove to everyone that I can be useful and I can take good care of Raven.

If only I had the chance to Finish school before my parents death, it would have been better. I’m sure that I wouldn’t have been Rejected by the three companies like that. I just feel so bad and wish my dream wouldn’t have to be crushed down by the death of my parents.

I would have worked with the Black family but no! Likewise, I can’t bring myself down and embarrass myself by working for them. It might even attract More mockery and insult to me.

Thinking about the Black family and the guests who came to the wedding two days ago and how they all make mockery of me , I swore to myself that I will never bring myself so low by going to their company in other to look for job. I know as a man, I need to prove everybody wrong and let them know that I can take care of Raven. I don’t want to be a laughing stock forever. I just want to have this money so they can all respect me. I know it’s hard, but I will surely get there and I know that one day Katherine will respect me and Raven will be submissive to me as her husband.

Life is really hard for destitute people because everybody sees you as nothing but a useless human being who doesn’t deserve respect. But that’s a lot different from the rich one. Everybody praises and adores the rich one out of greed even though they’re unkind and wicked to them.

Not quite long, I came across another company and decided to give it a try. Who knows, maybe I might get accepted. But my suggestion and thought were all wrong the moment I approach the reception. The female receptionist look down at me from up and Down then stare at her colleagues as they let out a laugh. “What’s the problem dear? You haven’t even ask me why I’m here and you’ve already start laughing at yourself. Seriously? I bellowed at them the moment I couldn’t take it. Is this how they behave here?

The moments she whispered to me what the problem was, I turned to walk away.

.

They say a poor impoverished Guy like me isn’t qualified to be one of their co_workers, and I must admit that’s one of the worst reviews I have ever gotten. It was as if they were waiting for me to come all along.

I do wonder why nothing is working out for me. I’m just getting Rejected by everything including people who don’t like me. Is this really how people see destitute people like me? They see us as a piece of trash who they need to get rid of. But it’s really sad. Will I be able to cope with everything that just begun?

And just as I was coming downstairs from the staircase, I suddenly ran into someone. It was a face I couldn’t forget, and I know that person to be Jerry who had tried seducing Raven two days ago at the wedding. He was the man Katherine wanted to be his grandson in-law. Instead of me that got nothing to offer.

I tried to pretend like I didn’t see him, but he approached me and blocked my way when I finally came down from the stairs and I was heading to the door that lead to one existence.

“Where do you think you’re going?” He roars at me in a deep deadly tone and I move away from him while he leans towards me.

“I probably knew that you would come begging for a job in my company which was the reason why I have told them to teach you a lesson”. I was shocked by his words, and how heartless he could be.

No wonder! This explain the reason why they were behaving like they knew my identity the moment I approach them. So he’s actually the manager of this company? Indeed, He’s actually rich and powerful just like Katherine said to me. “What are you thinking about Stefan? Says something!!” His voice echoes through my ears, thereby bringing me back to reality.

“Listen to me Stefan; in this life, you don’t curse or insult your helper because you may never know what tomorrow brings”. He stated trying to show how smart he was in front of me whereas I knew that he’s just talking in proudness.

But the only thing I could do was to be silent, just leaning myself against the wall as I watched how he babbles to me about being rich.

“I received some scolding from Alexander Black which has never happened before! He was Angry at me because of you!! What must I do to get you out of my sight because I’m willing to do anything. He slapped me as he spat those words at me.

But I dare not retreat back to him. I have no power to do such a thing. I could only look at him and utter nothing. Of course Alexander Black interrupted him the Moment he tried flirting with Raven in front of me. Especially that wedding day and I guess he’s still holding grudges against me till now for what happened.

“Come Kick this beggar out of here”. I heard him calling his security guards as they walked towards me and kicked me out just as he had commanded them.
