Stephen had decided since he was younger that if not anything, he was going to become a spy for the Krafth’s in any Oscorp related business. So, when he was chosen to represent them and work in the Banks' side of business in Edinburg, he was thankful. He had been working there for over a year as a secretary, when he became privy to the plan against Marcus. Normally, the identity of Marcus was still not known to the world, but, Stephen being friends with Belle and both of them working for the same person, knew who Marcus was. Stephen once he got to know about the plan against Marcus, immediately left work. He called in sick, rented a car, went to get some guns in his rented apartment. He did not want to stand out so he got a very small and not exactly luxurious car. Stephen, on finishing this, went ahead to where he believed the plan was going to go down. Ok getting there, he heard gunshots, and he immediately jumped down from the car and got into the f
Marcus had just removed the ‘cloak’ he wore when he was about to enter the building in their boss's office when he heard a voice he had almost forgotten. “Marcus,is that you?” the voice asked. That voice, Marcus thought. That was the voice of Dave, David Sommer. Marcus slowly looked up. He hoped in his mind that it was not Dave. He settled his eyes on the person that just called out his name. It was Dave! Dave Sommer has been Marcus's best friend and roommate when they both were studying in the university. They had met on the first day of resumption in the prestigious Edinburg International University. Marcus, a bright-eyed young man, had been offered a fully paid scholarship to study there. This was something he could not have dreamed of. The university was one where influential and very rich people went. Marcus was very shocked and happy when he got a letter of a fully funded scholarship from the school. He knew this was a step forward. It
Luiz walked to his car silently and deep in thought. The factory has already started undergoing reconstruction early this morning. It seemed like the owner, Juliet Krafth, already learned about what happened in the factory yesterday. Luiz thought she would come here to ascertain the level of damage, but it seemed she was not going to. Miss Krafth must have already talked to the boss, he thought. Marcus however had still not called for him today, he wondered if anything was the problem. Luiz got to his car and opened it. He got inside and just used a hand to bring forward his food from the back seat. He got his lunch and got down from the car. While locking the door, he noticed something on the windscreen. A ticket? He moved closer and found out it was a letter. Luiz took a few seconds looking at the letter. Who could have dropped a letter on his car? Was it dangerous? Was he safe? These kinds of questions were flying through his mind. After
Chapter 049 A slight moan came out of Chantelle’s lips. It was the most invigorating and thought compelling thing Richard could swear he had ever heard in his life. The day had started almost the same way for Chantelle. Except for making breakfast really early for her husband. Chantelle was hoping to use that as a way to apologize to him. He had caught her cheating on him in their home. When she and Richard were caught, she was scared. Scared that Marcus would not take it well. Scared that he would make a lot of noise about it. However, the reverse was the case. Marcus had been quiet, he had let her do all the talking instead. One thing was however making her feel… funny. She had seen a look in Marcus that she had never seen before. It was slight. Just slight indifference. Then there was the rest of emotions that had passed through his face. Anger, disappointment, betrayal. She has woken up really late, even for her. It was hours after her husband h
Marcus had been trying to explain to Dave about some things he had gone through since they had last parted. “Did you know all the clothes I had when we were still in school are still the clothes I wear now?” Marcus laughed. “I thought you already had them way before we got to school?” Dave asked. Marcus sighed. Tables had turned. Now he did not have to live the same way he had been living for the longest time. “Yeah. Still the same clothes. Most have faded and look really plain now too.” “I think I blame myself too,” Marcus continued. “If I had made money earlier and was able to fend for Chantelle, maybe this situation would not have happened,” he said and sighed. “Maybe. That's the important thing to take note of what you just said.” “What if you still had the money and she still went on to do what she is doing now?” Dave asked. “Anyways, that is in the past.” “Will you advise me on what to get here, and do you think I need to go out and b
Lionel had attended the same school with Richard. They had been friends for the longest time. Unlike Dave and Marcus, they still saw themselves often. So when Lionel had heard rumors of his friend, chasing after a married woman, he asked him about it. Richard had explained to him, in a way he almost found unacceptable. Right from their school days, they had been part of a group of playboys, where all of them were notorious. They all basically used and dumped women. So when Richard was talking about Chantelle and he saw the way he was talking, he was surprised. Richard had explained everything about Chantelle to Lionel. Everything! Even down to the smallest details. Lionel of course had seen people that were in love. What he was seeing from Richard was exactly the same. This shocked him, because Richard was the last person he would have suspected ‘love’ would happen to. This experience had served to open up Lionel's eyes a little. So, on another
Lionel and Richard had gone to the same university. The most popular and highest rated university in the country. They had been friends way before they had gotten to the school. Even though the school was a school for really rich and influential people. Children of the rich basically, there was still a difference. There was the one percent of the one percent. Richard and Lionel were part of this percentage of the students at the school. Their parents were really rich. Extremely rich in fact. Lionel and Richard were part of a group of guys in the school. In fact they were part of the pioneers of the group. The name of the group was called ‘Empire’. It was a group of only boys in the boys and girls school. They were a popular group in the school. In fact, they were the most popular group. Everyone in the group was accorded the highest level of respect. ‘Empire’ was not an easy group to enter, and seeing the level of respect given to the member
So, on the day Richard and Chantelle had their first dinner together, the day Marcus waited for her to get back home to open the door of the house, was also the first time Cecelia and Lionel had dinner. Lionel was pleasantly surprised, and so was Cecelia during the dinner date. They both enjoyed themselves. From the dinner to the present, they had seen each other a few more times. Cecelia started having feelings for Lionel at a point. It was obvious to her that Lionel liked her. He liked her a lot. However, Cecelia was still doubtful. She remembered when her sister, Chantelle was engaged to Marcus. She remembered how in love Chantelle was. The love was almost intoxicating. When Chantelle brought Marcus into their parents home, she understood right away why Chantelle loved him. Marcus was a really handsome man. Tall and well built. The only problem he had was that he was not rich. However, it was still an impossible thing for Chantelle to convince her pa
