2024-10-29 19:42:56Chapter 5
I went back to my room and everything felt different. In fact, before my parents died I had been a person who could not hide emotions. But when I fell on hard times, I realized I had to put up with everything to survive. Back then, when I was living with my parents, I could express my emotions freely, and I didn't get scared of people. I always say what's on my mind even though it might hurt the person but everything all changed when Alexander Black adopted me into their family and I changed to a more respectful person.
I don't think I would be able to stand Katherine's nerves if I had had enough money back then because I'm going to shut her down immediately.
Money Actually controls someone and with that 10 Billions dollars in my account Right now, it's reminding me that I don't have to be treated like a servant by living under their roof.
I can actually rent an apartment with that 10 Billions and live on my own if I want to, but before I will do that, I should be ready to divorce Raven and repay Alexander for his kindness. But I'm I really ready to do that?
Just then I heard a knock on my door and without a doubt, I knew that it was Raven. "Come on" I quickly turned off my phone to face her. I wonder why she's here. Could it be that she's here to tell me more about my life? I thought.
"Do you know Derek?" She uttered as I sighed. Of course, she thought I was this destitute guy who didn't know anyone. So I don't blame her for asking me this question. "Derek is an Acquaintance of mine". I said as her eyes widened open.
"I don't know if you get my point though! But do you really know who Derek is? She asked again, wanting to be sure of my answer. "I had known Derek since I was a child", but anyway, why are you asking?"
"I know you're lying to me Stefan, stop daydreaming about what will never happen and focus on the reality". She said with a disguised look on her face as I bit my lips.
Why can't she just believe me? Or is that how she sees me? And when I didn't say anything to her again, she walked towards me and tapped my hands.
"Listen Stefan: Derek is the assistant of the richest man in the whole world, so how can you blabber about knowing him".
She uttered, still doubting me as I tried to defeat myself.
"Listen Raven.....!!"
"I understand what you're trying to say, please just let me make my speech here". She uttered, and I had to give her the chance to say what she wanted to say.
"I really don't care if what you're saying is true or not but.....it was really so bad of you to follow me around!! I mean why do you have to stalk me? If you really cared about me then why can't you be Good as Derek is? Her words hit my face as she left the Room.

"I think I can no longer handle Stefan in This House!! I'm really so tired of him and I want him out of this Black family. I don't know why that destitute boy is becoming rude and aggressive to me these days. Not only that, but I almost got sick because of his words. Katherine spoke as I looked at Alexander who looked so disappointed.
Of course, he wasn't pleased with what she had Said. "Why do you just keep nagging the poor boy? I won't believe any of your story because you've always been bullying him and Maltreating him ever since he came to the house.
Alexander said and walked out of her. I was happy with the fact that he didn't believe her. At least he knew that everything she was saying was all a lie.
She gave me a wired dangerous gaze as our eyes met with each other. "Just get the hell out of my sight Stefan". She half yelled at me as I walked to my room.
"Alexander" Katherine called her husband over the dinner as his attention turned on her. "What is it?" Alexander questions as I look at Raven who was eating without wanting to hear what Katherine will say.
"So, yesterday, during the time you have gone out" Stefan and Raven did have a fight which at the results made Raven cry. Katherine said as I looked at her in shock and looked at Raven who wanted to say something.
But Katherine was smart enough to notice that and quickly shut her up. And of course Alexander was giving me a disappointed look. Just like she had expected.
And of course he had to drop whatever that he was eating at the moment to address me. "Listen to me Stefan; don't forget yourself here or who you are here to start hitting on my granddaughter. You absolutely have no right to beat my granddaughter or lay your hands at her,
because I promise to chase you away the next time you try such a thing. "I'm sorry Alexander, I promise never to do such a thing!!" I apologize even though I knew that I was wrongly accused of what I haven't done.
Alexander stood up and then went on to pack his bags for his business trip. He has not been able to choose a successor, so he is still very busy at work.
After Alexander had left the house for his business trip, Raven's parents who had come to visit us today Actually came out of the room then walked towards me.
They said I couldn't eat and drink from the house for nothing. From today on, I need to pay them living expenses on time which I found quite surprising.

Chapter 6 "Is that really necessary?" I asked Raven's mother as she gave me a dangerous gaze. Just then, my phone beams with a message. It was from Derek, and he was requesting me to meet him later. What does he want from me this time around? And why did he have to tell my grandfather about me? I thought as my father-in-law snapped his fingers at me, bringing me back to reality and I had to flash my eyes in shock at what he had Said. He walked towards me then gave me a thundering slap across my face as he took my phone from me then slammed it on the ground. I can feel his anger. He thought I was deliberately ignoring him when I was staring at Derek's message and I guess he was irritated at that. But must he have to overdo it by slamming my phone on the ground? Does he really have the Right to do that all because he's my father-in-law? "I really blame my father for having you to marry my daughter Raven. I wonder why he had to hand over my daughter to someone like you Stefan", you'

And why did he even want me to go to a country to look for grandpa?"Can I ask you a question Derek?" I asked as he nodded his head. "Can you tell me the reason why grandpa suddenly approached me but never showed up even after my parents had died? I ask as he took a deep breath, his gaze narrowed to the ground."I do get your point Stefan but.... grandpa had been looking for you ever since he Heard of your parents death but couldn't because he had no clue of where you're staying. "So recently, I heard that you're living with the Black family which was how I was able to hear about you and I was even planning to visit you before when I suddenly saw you that day at the cafeteria.He uttered as I took a deep breath, still waiting for his whole explanation about the whole thing because I'm not just getting his point at all.

Chapter 8Sitting down in my room, I could recur everything that has been happening in the Black family. They're now in a devastated situation and they're looking for a solution.One of the shareholders received information that the Maxwell family, which is my family, is now targeting the Black's family. How cruel is that?And I guess the Maxwell family company is very powerful in this country. They're the most powerful and popular country in the state and Nobody can compete with them but right now it seems like the Black's family are competing with them.Because the shareholders from the Black family company were very negative when they heard the news and that's because none of the companies that had offended the Maxwell family could survive. And that has been told by people.And Alexander said that they all gave up on the shareholder conference on hearing that the Maxwell family was competing against the Black family. If not for the news which they've Heard, they could have helped t

Chapter 9I was about to go to my room when I saw raven on a call .So I decided to eavesdrop and know who she was speaking with."Derek, please , I need your help!!!" She sounded so passionate and serious in her tone"Is this about the Black family business?" Derek asked over the phone as she sniffed her nostrils and hummed. "yes". She let out her thoughts, thinking that he would be able to help them but I don't think he can.Derek isn't the Maxwell family son nor relative. He was just the assistant of the richest man in the whole world so I don't think he would be able to convince my grandpa into helping them."Ohhhh Raven, please try not to get involved in the two companies' fight". Derek said over the phone."So tell me Derek, how much will it cost to settle everything?""I don't think that's necessary, please just try to stay away from these family business issues. You must not have to put your mouth on it because that isn't necessary especially when you guys are competing against

He asked but he noticed that something was wrong with her countenance. "I'm sorry grandfather, but he said that he couldn't be of any help but to watch the Maxwell family who's determined to destroy the family business and there's nothing he can do. She uttered as he hit his foot against the ground in anger."Gosh, why's the Maxwell family so bent on destroying us? Have we done anything bad to them so far? He thought, feeling so Angry and frustrated with the situation he was in."I really Made mistake, I made a big mistake letting you marry that useless Man Raven". He uttered as my heart skipped. I do wonder who he's referring to.And of course Raven was curious to know who he was talking about and so was I, as I watched them over the dinner table I was sitting on."I would have let you marry Derek

Chapter 11Today 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

I thought as I glared at IRaven who had approached him."I can't believe he came for me, I thought he wasn't going to come but I guess he doesn't want another man to marry me this time around which is the reason why he had come to propose to me today".Raven uttered in an audible way that people wouldn't be able to hear her.But I was close to her which is the reason why I was able to hear her.Tears were streaming out of her eyes as she looked at him in an adorable way but the Derek who she was crying for didn't show signs of emotions or react back at Her.

If she truly adopted this child then why does he look so much like you?" Morgan questions with a pondering heart. She herself was also confused how this child looks so much like him when she didn't birth him. "Except maybe the mother of this child was my Ex girlfriend who got pregnant for me without me realizing and the hospital ended up selling her child for you Morgan. That's the only thing I believe right now ". A shiver ran down Raven's body as Stefan uttered such words. His words made her remember that day she gave birth but it turns out that she gave birth to a Triplets but the third one died. That was what the doctor told her which just reflected back to her right now. She seems to have forgotten it. "Mommy!!! Daddy!!!

I need to check something*. She walked towards the car and right there she Heard the fainter voice of Mateo, who was still crying at the moment. "Mateo!!" She called out his name on finding him to be Morgan's son. She went to meet the man who was breathing helplessly at the front seat of the car. "Please ma'am help us! Help this boy especially. He must not die ma'am help him". Even though she didn't want to help them in the first place because of his mother's rudeness, she couldn't resist his pleading.

"Mateo, your father told me to follow you to school today! So you can show me those twins that usually bully you". The male bodyguard shrugged at Mateo the moment they got to the school premises. "Sure, Please follow me". Mateo led him to their class and showed him the two twins who were Seated together. The male bodyguard was shocked at the resemblance which the twins had with Stefan. It was now he came to understand the reason why Stefan had requested him to find out about these twins. They could be his own. The twins caught sight of him staring at them as he waved them back with a smile going to meet them. "Are you guys twins? You look obsolete, amazing?!" He complimented them as the twins b

Morgan questions with a disappointed look expecting him to explain his actions for her because if he continues doing this to her then she might get angry at him and file a divorce paper one day. "That's right. I'm going to look for her because I realized that I still love her and if you have a problem with that maybe you can file for a divorce. After all, you don't even love me nor do I". Stefan bellowed at her with so much anger at her actions as he walked out of her. Morgan was devastated. She was frustrated. At this moment all she could ever think of was how to leave the marriage.
