Marcus Krafth; The Rise to Magnificence Chapter 036
Marcus had just sat down when the office intercom started blinking. It was Belle of course. What has happened, Marcus thought. She had just left his office. Whatever must have happened had definitely just happened and it must be urgent. Marcus pressed the button on the intercom and spoke, ”Yes Belle. What is it?” He asked. “Boss, there are people here to see you. They say they are from a magazine,” Belle said quietly into the phone in her hand. Belle was still trying to arrange the files on her table well, when she saw two people walk in. It was a man and woman. They did not look like people who walked in the factory, and they for sure did not look like people who came to the factory in search of jobs. Belle observed them as they walked up to her desk. She stood up to welcome them when they got in front of her desk. “Good morning. How may I help you?” Belle asked courteously. “Good morning,” the lady replied. “I am Miss Wuncler and this is m

“How close is your relationship with Miss Krafth?” Mr Riley suddenly asked. There was a flash of a sharp glint in his eyes. He quickly covered it up. What he didn't expect was that Marcus was a really sharp person. He had definitely started getting suspicious. The fact that these two came here from a magazine that mainly concentrated on young celebrities in the country, was just a little bit suspicious. But, Marcus was already starting to believe that was all there was to it. At least, that was until the question Mr Riley had just asked and until he caught that glint in his eyes. Marcus looked closely at Miss Wuncler to see if she was part of this, but it didn't seem like that. Miss Wuncler, it seemed, was fully engrossed in listening to everything Marcus said and writing it down. Mr Riley and Miss Wuncler actually worked at the Blaze Magazine. What was not known to Miss Wuncler, or anyone that worked for the magazine was that Mr Riley was planted i

Miss Wuncler had been staring at Marcus since she got inside. She was falling slowly for him, she knew. Everything about him seemed so good. Everything, except what he was wearing, she noticed. She wondered why someone at his level would be dressed like this. So, when her colleague, Mr Riley asked the question, she leaned forward in her seat. Miss Wuncler was quite interested in Marcus's reply to the question. Marcus sighed. On the ride to work this morning, he was actually thinking about this. It was just the abrupt call by his sister that took his mind off it. Now, the question had seemingly come back to haunt him. Marcus laughed. “My story has literally been a story of grass to grace, literally,” he started. “As you know, I just got this job the previous day. Before this, I worked in this factory, but I worked at the lowest level here”. “I could barely afford food and shelter, so clothing wasn't even high on my list,” he said. Mr Riley and M

Marcus walked into the building where his office was located in deep thought. Today was stressful, and quite eye-opening. He had observed his workers go about their respective jobs. Things had just seemed to change so fast for him. It was like a movie and he was happy about it. His only concerns now, however, was his identity being kept secret, and how to help his father, his family, bring down this long lasting enemy that had for the longest time tried to bring them down. Marcus kept thinking about his father. About how he must have gone through the amount of hard work and what else to get to the position he was at now. How he must have worked his ass off, with little to no help from anyone. Now that he, Marcus, had passed his test, he made a promise right there and then, on his way to his office to bring their enemy down. Another concern that kept playing out in his head was the issue with his wife. It didn't sit right with him. The way he was kee
Marcus Krafth; The Rise to Magnificence Chapter 040
Marcus, Luiz and Belle spent a long time in that almost unnoticeable room in the factory. They pored over the documents they had found and the things on the board in the room. It seemed like the factory his sister, Juliet had bought, had also been looked out for by the Oscorp corporation. In fact, it seemed like they were infinitely close to purchasing it right before Juliet did. With what they were seeing in the room, the corporation would have been a look out post for Oscorp, in investigating issues about the Krafth family in Edinburg. Of course, this was not the only reason Oscorp wanted the factory. The factory was looking like a good buy also. From their calculations, it seemed like the factory was on its way to be one of the largest in the country. This was the main reason why they decided to buy the factory. They had just been waiting for the stocks of the factory to go lower, then, they would have bought it cheaper. Unknown to them, Juliet h
Marcus Krafth; The Rise to Magnificence Chapter 041
Marcus paused in the middle of the road where he was walking. What was this dark SUV with tinted glasses looking for in front of his house, he thought. Was the Oscorp corporation doing their findings on his house and wife now. He hoped it was all fine though. Or was it, was it his wife again. Was Chantelle in the car with Richard Banks again. Were they about to get off and shatter his heart, he asked himself. It would be better, he thought, if it was the Oscorp corporation, rather than his wife in that care. All these thoughts passed through Marcus's head in a few seconds. With everything that had happened today already, this right now, felt like the most important thing that had happened to him today. It seemed like an eternity, but after a few seconds of waiting, the car zoomed off. The person inside seemed to have noticed Marcus at the back of the car, staring at the car. As the car raced off, Marcus heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like hi

It was a series of explosions. Marcus and Belle could see bright sparks of fire light up the factory. There was no need to ask what had happened. The Oscorp corporation spies had launched a preemptive strike. Late yesterday evening, after closing hours, Dominic, Espinoza and Burn waited a while for their friend, Luiz, to come back from the inspection with their new boss, Marcus. They had all waited for over fifty minutes. When they saw that he was not coming, they decided to leave without him. Dominic, Espinoza and Burn proceeded to walk to the car park. They all walked there, entered their cars and made each other good night. They all drove off, one by one, with Burn up front and Dominic at the rear. Unknown to both Burn and Espinoza, Dominic had only driven for a while and lost both their cars and decided to turn back. Dominic did not in any way want to alert his friends to what he was doing in the factory. He had a secret meeting this evening and
Marcus Krafth; The Rise to Magnificence Chapter 043
It was a wild day in the factory. People running around. Some screaming in pain, or fear, or both. Some lay on the floor injured, while some of them picked themselves and walked away from their point of injury. It was a sad sight. Marcus and Belle, after seeing the letter directed to him, were silent. Marcus was sad and angry. His workers were outside, in pain, clamoring for help. He was angry because this was set up just because it was the Krafth family that came to possess the factory and not the Oscorp Corporation. At this point, the hate for the Oscorp grew higher in his heart. He was going to fight. Fight till the end against them. He slowly dropped the paper in his hand on the table. He walked to the window overlooking the factory once again. He saw the fire all around him. Belle was quiet and had not said a word at this point. She could feel the aura emanating from Marcus's body at this point. It was solid and angry. It was also cold.

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 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
