Marcus got to his office safely. Huncho was given new orders, so he had to ensure Marcus's safety. This time around, he followed him into his building and straight to his office. Immediately he got to his office, he noticed Belle. She was looking expectantly at him. It seemed like she wanted to tell him something really important. Marcus greeted her and told her to follow him into his office. Marcus, Belle and Huncho entered the office together. Marcus went to the window overlooking the factory. He wanted to make sure the renovation of the factory was going well. Ever since the explosion happened, a lot of workers in the factory had not resumed work yet. Some of them had been injured, almost gravely in fact. The explosion was really serious. Marcus had just been lucky that it did not affect his own office. It was either luck, or the people behind it chose to intentionally leave him out of the explosion. Maybe they meant it to be a kind of thre
Marcus told Belle that he had to leave for home. After all, the day he had had was almost unbelievable. Marcus has gone from being angry at his wife this morning, to getting shot at and almost killed. He got saved by a spy in the Banks company. He had to get new clothes because his clothes were destroyed in the shootout. He already had to get new clothes normally. Wearing his work clothes he had been wearing to work for years now as the new manager was really wrong. Got to the store he decided to go, and found out his best friend who he had ‘abandoned’ for years, since he had finished his higher level education was the manager and owner of the store. Trying to explain who he had ghosted his best friend, up to catching themselves up on how they had been too Then the incident that had happened with Cecelia, his wife's sister. Marcus got angry not because she was shouting at him. In fact, he was not bothered at all at Cecelia shouting at him, rather, he got angry a bit when
Immediately Marcus decided he was done talking to Luiz, he stood up and told him he was leaving. Luiz was surprised. His boss never left before the end of the day. Today was different. He wondered what must have happened to him. However, Luiz was considerably different from when he was still in his office. Now, he was calm. He knew what he had to do, and what not to do. Marcus led the way out of his office, Huncho and Luiz also followed him out of the door. “Belle, I'm going home now. We'll see tomorrow morning,” Marcus said. “Enjoy your night boss,” she replied. Marcus started walking out of his building after that. He got out of the building, and it was time for Luiz to go back to his workplace. “Goodnight boss,” he said and bowed slightly to Marcus as he headed back. Marcus watched him go. He had thought about telling Luiz about the new developments for some reasons. Firstly, he did not believe him to be the spy of the Oscorp Corporation.
Marcus was on his way home when he had gotten a call from his sister Juliet. He realized immediately what it must have been about. The information network of the Krafth was really wide. They could gather news really fast, and know Marcus to be related to the Krafth by being the manager of the factory that Juliet had just bought, any information about him was quickly outsourced. So, it would not be surprising if by now, the news about him being in a shootout was already known by Juliet. It was very likely the reason why she called him. The car had been filled with silence as usual today. Marcus and Huncho were left to their own thoughts, when Marcus's phone rang. After realizing what the call must be about. He picked the call and heard his sister's voice. He could tell from how she sounded. She was really worried about him. Marcus told her about the shoot out. Even though she was already briefed about how it happened, he still went ahead to tell her abou
Marcus had stood at the entrance of his room for quite a while. It was almost as if the lighting of the room was playing a cruel joke on him. Almost as if. But he knew deep down it was not. He could hear the sounds being made from both of them. He could see it, and he could also feel it. It felt as if someone had plunged a knife into his heart for a while. Almost as if he was closer to death than he was earlier today. Chantelle and Richard were oblivious of the presence of Marcus as they continued to indulge themselves in their love making. It was until Chantelle’s eyes rolled over to the door that she paused. She quickly tapped Richard. There was silence. Awkward abrupt silence. Marcus could see both of them looking at him quite unsure of what to say. He was also silent. He looked into the eyes of his ‘wife’. She could not meet his eyes, and neither could Richard. After some time, Chantelle realized she had to be the one to break the silence. Afte
“Drive me to The Chandeleer Hotel,” Marcus said. “I'll be staying there from now.” The last part of the sentence was the main part. It was what shocked Hunchi too. His boss had asked him if he had dropped off the clothes they had bought earlier today at the Krafth mansion.he had told him that he had not reached the mansion yet. So, the clothes were still behind the boot of this car. Now, he told him, that he was going to be staying in the hotel from now. “Also,” Marcus said. “Place a call to the manager of the hotel telling him to be expecting us very soon.” “I don't want to be put through any hassle when I get over there,” Marcus said. Judging from how his young master sounded, the fact that he was already tired when he was going to his house, and how he sounded now, it showed that he was extremely stressed right now. However, Huncho was in no position to ask him what exactly had happened. He just kept on driving. Huncho remembered Richard's car th
Belle had driven down to the hotel where she had been staying ever since she became a secretary of Marcus Krafth. Her lodging was arranged by Juliet Krafth. Marcus's younger sister. The Krafth family had played a huge part in her upbringing, so when the chance arose to be the secretary of Marcus, the new upcoming head of the Krafth empire, Belle was so happy. It had been quite fulfilling so far. Marcus was a nice boss, and he never bothered her. He also did not ask for much and their relationship as boss and worker had been progressing smoothly. Belle loved her job. Everything was going fine until the explosion. The explosion had rattled her deep down. But as the secretary of Marcus. She had to maintain a stoic front. She could not tell anyone how scared or angry she was. It showed though, that she was angry. However, she tried her best to hide it. Everything that had happened and everything that her boss had said today however was a lot. She
Luke Browning was the manager of the Chandeleer hotel. He was a short over faulty balding fat man. He was a man who had been at this job for almost twenty years. Luke was a person who had been performing brilliantly over the years. The staff liked him because he was not wicker, rather, he was really nice. Luke knew when to be serious. He knew when to joke and when not to. Luke was decidedly one of the most important persons in the Krafth Empire in Edinburgh. This was noted when he was informed about Marcus and who he was. When last he had seen Juliet, his boss's daughter, she had informed him about Marcus, and of course instructed him not to tell anyone about Marcus, at least not yet. Luke had gone to see Juliet when she was last in town, this was so he could make available a good suite for Belle, Marcus's secretary. So, when Huncho called him to notify him about the pending arrival of Marcus, he was shocked. There was not enough time, he thought im
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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
