Marcus Krafth; The Rise to Magnificence Chapter 028
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

Juliet sat down calmly. She slowly opened the file. What she saw inside it almost made her tremble. Natalie already knew the contents of what was in the file, so she waited for Juliet to digest what was inside it. The intelligence unit had made it extremely lucid in the file, that they had found out that there was a high ranking staff of the Krafth company that was currently acting as a spy for the Oscorp corporation. One of them had intercepted a message, as the person was the personal assistant of the person the message was meant for. The person had checked it and was shocked also. The spy of the Oscorp Corporation had leaked out details of their workers and their latest plans to the enemy company. The only painful detail was that the soy had not included his name in the correspondence to the Oscorp Corporation. The intelligence unit had however noted this and had decided to send a message directly to the secretary of Mr Krafth, who would know what to
Marcus Krafth; The Rise to Magnificence Chapter 034
Marcus had thought for a bit while Juliet just waited for him, silently. “Alright. This is what you should do,” Marcus said. “I'm listening,” Juliet replied. “You said the spy is definitely a high ranking individual in the company right?” “Yes. I'm sure of that. The intelligence unit would definitely not make that kind of mistake,” Juliet replied. “Also, the person had obviously been releasing trade secrets to Oscorp, and also very important things such as the new technology our scientists here are working on, and other important things.” “Alright then. To find out who the spy is, every important and high ranking official in the Krafth headquarters, will be baited,” Marcus said. “What does that mean?” Juliet asked. She did not fully understand her brother. “We are going to lay a trap for each one of them, and wait for them, at least the right person to fall into the trap.” “Also, this method will help to fish out any other soy there is, and stop

Marcus walked into the factory, slowly and leisurely, oozing with confidence. Everyone that saw him on his way to his office, greeted him, either in words or with their actions. It was a sight to behold for him. He remembered just less than forty eight hours ago, the words on the mouth of some of the people that greeted him. None of them had any good words for him, as they mostly castigated and insulted him, both on his behavior, and his eager attitude at work. Now, he was still in his usual work clothes, looking ragged and worn out, and still he was still being greeted by the people that passed him by. The only thing that was different now, was his status. Even though the fact that he was Juliet's sister, the heir to the throne of the Krafth’s was still not known, the fact that he was the manager of this factory, The Grammsville Breweries, was a very huge upgrade to where he was at before. Now, his workers saw him in a different light. Even thoug

Chapter 148
Chapter 148 Marcus looked at Belle. She was trying to hide her curiosity under her gaze but was it doing that good of a job. Marcus understood that she did not want to ask Kevin present, just in case there was something Marcus did not want him to hear. “It's alright Belle. Kevin is my lawyer and he's going to be the one representing me in my divorce case, that is happening today, and it is where I need to be first.” “How about I drop you off at work and we go on to the court and we would meet you back at the office when we are done?" Marcus asked. Deep down, he knew Belle would not choose to do this, instead she would want to follow him for support or whatever else she deemed appropriate, but she still needed to ask. “Young master, I'd like to go with you to the court, and from there we can go on to the factory when the case is over at the court,” Belle said. Marcus was right. He knew for sure this was what she would say, and he was in no mood to argue with anyon

Chapter 147
Chapter 147 Marcus slowly drifted off to sleep, after thinking about the next day for a while. His room had a soundtrack of crashing waves that had been installed since they built the hotel. When Marcus found it some weeks ago, he had started using it, and it worked really well for him. Before, Marcus had found it quite hard to sleep off, but with the soundtrack of crashing waves sounding, he found it easy to sleep, and that was what he had started doing. Marcus slept off before he knew it. The day had not been as long as it normally was, but he needed that extra rest for tomorrow, and he was not feeling too hungry before he slept, so he just chose to go ahead to sleep. The clock in his room’s slow and consistent tick was the only reminder that time was passing really fast. The blinds in Marcus's room were so thick that it blocked off the light even during the day, not to even talk about the night. After a while, Marcus had woken up. He picked up the remote on the

Chapter 146
Chapter 146 Marcus had just laid on his bed for a while,and had slowly started to drift off when his phone rang. He rolled his eyes in the dim lights of the room, as he moved and his shadow long and dark moved along with him. It was a mesmerizing sight for anyone who could see it. It was just that no one would have the pleasure of doing that. But that was not what was on Marcus's mind. He rolled over to the end of the bed where he had dropped the phone, picked it up and looked at the name of the person calling his phone. It was Luiz. It seemed like he had completed his task, Marcus thought. He hoped Luiz had not done too much and gotten caught. Because if he had, he would have made Dominic aware of the fact that they already knew he was a spy. The task he had given Luiz was fairly easy. He had been asked to follow Dominic from far off and not make him aware he was being followed. The key thing they needed to know was where he lived and ascertaining the presence of

Chapter 145
Chapter 145 Marcus told them that he had a friend that was going to be staying in the hotel too. Kevin peeked from the back of Marcus and greeted the two ladies, to which both of them bowed their heads slightly. Being respectful to Marcus because of his identity also meant that they had to be respectful to his friends. Especially this kind of one that he brought to stay in the hotel with him. Mel and her partner nodded their heads. They knew what to do. So, they prepared a suite just like the one Belle was still staying in. It was the topmost grade of suite in the hotel, and only reserved for the most extremely famous people. Even if you had the money, you would not necessarily be able to get into this kind of suite in the hotel. It also had a limited amount, so it got quickly exhausted. Though Kevin was not really famous, but, since he was recommended by Marcus, the receptionists knew to give him the best type of suite they had. They promised to prepare one for h

Chapter 144
Chapter 144 He had never mentioned anything about his father,and his friends did not ask either. Now, Dominic was back inside his house and he could not hear any sound at all. Not from his mother or even from his sister who would reasonably be loud due to the fact that her brother had gotten back from work, even when it was this late. But nothing of the sort seemed to happen. It was just silence throughout. Luiz was however satisfied with himself. His job in following Dominic was to find out where he lived. This was what Marcus had asked him to do. He did not want to be seen as doing too much, in case he got caught. Beaming with satisfaction, and after waiting for over ten minutes, he started walking back to where he had parked his car. Luiiz was walking in places where the light was not too bright. He did not want to take a game of risk regarding people in the community. He did not want them to be suspicious since they had not seen him in their neighborhood well. T

Chapter 143
Chapter 143 However, it was just the paranoia. It made his behavioral pattern compulsory.Dominic could not take any chance. He still wanted to see his family. He hoped they would not be killed, and the only way for him to preserve their life was to do what was asked of him and not be caught. Immediately he was caught, he would be useless to the people that were using him and they would not allow his family to leave since they also were of no use to them. Dominic understood this, but this was still not something he could bear. Luiz had started getting quite impatient as Dominic had kept on stopping, and now this was their fifth stop, after going round this same neighborhood for the third time. He wanted to drive away or maybe even drive up to Dominic and ask to go to his house. But this was not the sensible thing to do. It would ruin the plan Marcus had made and would literally just be counterproductive. This was not something Luiz wanted to see happen. So,

Chapter 142
Chapter 142 However, even when he was accosted by Burn, Dominic did not want to head in the same route as his boss and the people around him. It would not be a good thing for him, if he was caught that night and they started asking questions that might lead to him confessing. He had tried to time himself exactly well, this was why he had decided to go with Burn, to the place he had always parked before. When Burn asked him the question, he quickly feigned as if he forgot where he now parked and blamed it on forgetfulness. Burn's car was parked at the farthest side of the park, and by the time Dominic had started walking back to the place he parked his car, Burn had started his car and was already driving towards him and then outside. So, he had chosen to go with his friend Burn for now, and when both Marcus and Burn's car had left the park, he would go to get his car. He also looked around and saw two cars drive outside the factory. One of them looked like Espino

Chapter 141
Chapter 141 Dominic took in a deep breath and exhaled. It seemed like no one had noticed him. What he did jot know however, was that Belle had noticed him, and not only Belle, in fact Marcus had noticed him. But, Marcus was really smart and sharp. Immediately he noticed it, he was sure of what he had seen, so he quickly took his eyes off him. He did not want to spook him off, so he just looked elsewhere. It was quite lucky that Dominic was more concerned with himself at the point where Marcus was looking at his expressions,so he didn't see Marcus looking at him. In fact, he believed that nobody else saw his reaction. Marcus had come to a conclusion deep down after this issue. He was now fully sure about what the unknown spy had told them. Marcus has been keeping the information the spy gave them at arm length. Even though he wanted to believe it fully, it was not that simple. What if the person was pretending to help them, and instead use this opportunity to infi

Chapter 140
Chapter 140 Marcus did not know exactly why, but he felt safe around Kevin. It felt like Kevin was a guy he could confide in, and that was exactly what he did. He told him a lot of things he would not have otherwise told someone he was just meeting. Marcus told him about the bombing that had happened in the factory. He told him about the clues he had found, and about the person that seemed to be helping them from the inside of Oscorp. Though they did not know who exactly the person was, he was helping them regardless, and everything he had clued them on, had happened exactly how he had said it would. Marcus shared a lot of things with Kevin, and they talked till the end of the day. They did not know when time flew away and it was time to go home. It was after this discovery that they both stood up and went out of his office. Of course Belle was ready to leave. She on the other hand had been curious through the day, and had monitored the time through the day, wai
