“I'm coming,” Chantelle answered the knock on the door while walking to the door. Marcus was left alone in the sitting room. He looked all over the room, he saw everything in the room, but he did not see them. There was a wall-wide television in the room. This was gifted to him by his parents-in-law when he got married to their daughter. The clothes strewn across the center table. It was a small oak coated wood. It had been passed down through the generations of the Krafth family. The chairs, also an evidence of the continuity of things of his family. They looked really luxurious. Marcus has always wondered about them. Marcus's place with his wife, Chantelle, was not big. It was, however, comfortable. Even though they had had a rough couple of years, they still managed to survive through everything. They had also had helpers, ranging from Chantelle’s parents, to others who just wanted to show a modicum of good will to them. Marcus was lost in thoug
Juliet had done exactly what she said she was going to do after leaving Marcus's factory. She had told him that she was traveling to the state capital of the country, where the headquarters of the Krafth company was located. Lagos. Lagos was a highly populated place. It was filled up, teeming with people. It was considered as the most populous state in the world. It was a center of business, of excellence and many more things. Lagos boasted of the most skyscrapers in the world, the biggest import and export system by sea and of course the biggest airport in the country of Grammsville. Lagos had always been a place where the smart thrived. They learnt fast. It was also easy to be duped in Lagos if one was not careful. Lagos also had one of the most thriving real estate businesses in the world. Land there was almost like gold. Literally like it in fact. The sellers gained a whole lot, and the new owners of course get so many advantages of buying the
Juliet got on the private jet. She named her private jet Krafty, for obvious reasons. Krafty was a picture of Luxury. It was one of the bigger private jets in business. Since Juliet was not going with many people, only with a few of her guards when did not have to go through any security search. Juliet did not have any baggage with her or an animal. She had clothes not only in Edinburgh and Lagos, but also in every other state she or her family owned property. Krafty was already getting warmed up when the pilots got the information that Juliet was in the airport. So she was ready for takeoff immediately Juliet got on board. Krafty was designed to fit Juliet well. Juliet's favorite color had been lemon green right from when she was small, it was also their mother's favorite too. So, the jet was painted mostly lemon green. There was a king sized bed for her at the end of the jet. A toilet big enough with mirrors and all, even a kitchen and a chef
Chapter 028 Juliet had always been one to dream. Ever since she was a little girl, she had been a dreamer. It must have been because of the jet lag and the stress of the day, but she had a terrible night. Juliet had a nightmare the night she got back to Lagos. She had immediately fallen on her bed inside the three bedroom detached duplex. She just removed the outer pull over she had on and all that was left was the long free gown she had on. Juliet had woken up with a scream. The closest guard around her was right outside the door. He didn't dare to enter. He just stood watch outside. When he heard the scream he was startled, and immediately went for the door. He immediately paged some other guards close to Juliet's room, “You all should come over!!” He had screamed into the pager. Juliet however, was quick to regain her senses when she woke up. She immediately ordered the guard, “Wait! There's no need to come inside. It was just a dream,” she
Juliet's mood was still down, but she knew it would get better in time. She rolled out of bed, stretched her body and looked in the mirror. She liked what she saw in the mirror. Even though her eyes still showed traces of fear, she still looked good. The only odd thing about her right then was the gown she wore to bed. It was a new day. She has a lot to do in Lagos, and knowing Lagos and the movement of people, she has to get there in time if she was going to drive or be driven there. She went into the bathroom. The pace looked just as he remembered it. Everything was layered in a coat of dark gold. The tiles, the shower, the sink, the toilet, the bath tub. Juliet got the water ready after she brushed her teeth. She added a lot of scented soaps and oil which would make her body feel good and her skin too. She got into the tub after sliding the gown off her shoulders. There was no one who could spy on her, so she felt really secure and safe. Juli
Juliet stood in front of the Krafth’s headquarters. It was considered the most magnificent building in the whole of Lagos. The Krafth building was a sixty nine floors skyscraper. It pierced right through the clouds. It also had a helipad on the top. The topmost floor could be considered as a penthouse only for the Krafth family. Only them had access to that part of the building. The penthouse had an open swimming pool that could be seen from outside with the aid of really strong binoculars. The building was just stunning. The other floors of the building contained different types of businesses that were altogether opened by the Krafths. There were clothes, shoes, watches, women's hair, accessories, food, drinks, anything you could name. There were also services that were rendered to customers. There was, deliveries, getting a haircut,anything. There was also a lab. The Krafth family had always been interested in technological advancements. Even
Juliet had been to the penthouse a number of times, but every single time she came here, she paused. They were rich! Everything inside the house gave off a shining luster. Everything there was eye-catching. Starting from the rug on the floor, up to the appliances in the house. The Krafth penthouse was splendid. The first thing that will catch one's eyes immediately after leaving the elevator and entering through the sliding golden doors, was the rug. The rug looked plush and comfy. No one was allowed to wear any footwear on it. It was either your bare legs or your socks. The rug was white and without blemish. It looked as if it was made of sheep's hair. Next eye-catching thing was the painting of the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. It was the original painting painted by the world famous artist while he was still alive. The painting, when it was auctioned, was sold for a whooping four hundred and fifty five million pounds. The funny thing w
Natalie Griorgi was an Italian woman. She had once upon a time been married to one of the leaders in the Italian mob. This information however, was not made known to her. The Griorgi family was just a normal averagely well-to-do family. They had tried making children for as long as they were married with no returns. They had been married for over five years when Natalie noticed that her husband and her lifestyle was changing. She was suddenly able to afford anything she wanted. All the things they could not buy before were not hard for them again. Natalie right from when she was young, was a very sharp and brilliant woman. She had started asking her husband questions concerning how the money had suddenly started coming in. Her husband, however, had always sidetracked the question. He only told her to trust him and be happy for him. Natalie noticed soon enough that something was wrong. Her husband started coming home really late, and went out really
