"The Three Rings. They are a more dangerous enemy than the Oscorp corporation,” his father said. Marcus listened, partly in shock and partly in amazement. The one enemy that he had been made to believe his family had was not their main enemy. “Dad, but the Oscorp Corporation, they…” “The Oscorp Corporation is actually small compared to the Three Rings.” his father cut him short. “You still do not know how powerful our family is, and I understand that that is my fault,” Hammond told his son. “But I want you to know that our family has had the power to end Oscorp for years now. I've just been way too busy and uninterested, that's why I haven't done a thing about them.” It seemed like Marcus was going to get used to the shock at this point. His father was dropping bombs on him. “But, it will be nice if you are able to stop them, one less enemy is always good.” “I need to go now. We are almost about to leave. Don't forget, you do not need to tell your s
After the previous night's incident, Selena and Mabel were called into their boss's office. Mr Browning of course had figured out what had happened. Mr Browning got to the lobby and immediately understood the scene. After he was done with Marcus for the night, he called both of them over. They were both afraid. Was today going to be the end of their work in this place? They both walked slowly to his office, while pondering about the consequences of their actions. When they got inside, Mr Browning, being the nice person they knew, only berated them. He warned them about doing such a thing again. Even if the person that had come was not that important, any and every customer of the hotel was important. After getting an earful without being sacked, they both thanked their boss, and promised not to repeat anything like that in the future. Luke looked at the girls as they left his office sheepishly. The amount of time he had used grilling them was over thirt
Marcus picked up his phone and called his sister to tell her about the call he got from their dad yesterday. Juliet had basically had a bad night, so she woke up quite late. She had already decided at night that she was going to call Marcus the next day. Juliet woke up quite late and proceeded to have her bath and breakfast too. She was on her way downstairs when Marcus's call came through her phone. She immediately walked faster as she decided to pick the call in the office. She walked into the office and greeted Natalie first, then immediately went into her office, sat down and picked the call. Marcus was waiting as the call was ringing. It was then that Luis entered his office. He got here really quick, Marcus thought. Marcus motioned for him to have a seat while he finished up with his call. “Good morning Marcus,” Juliet picked up the call and greeted as she sat down in her chair. “Good morning. How are you doing this morning,” Marcus asked. “I'm fine. I just go
Luiz had gotten to work that day really early. He was surprised when he got there and met Dominic. Out of their group of friends, Dominic was considered the weirdest. He never got to work early, he mostly refrained from conversations with people too. Luiz had decided to come to work early today with the hope of getting new information from the secret spy who dropped a letter for them yesterday. He had left home early, parked his car and walked to his office. Luiz did not meet anybody on his way. When he got to his office, he was shocked to see the door open. Even though the key to the office was given to his friends and their secretary, it did not seem likely it was one of them who was around at that time. Luiz walked inside. Their secretary of course was not there. That was surprising in itself. He had thought, if it was anybody who would come this early it would have been the secretary. Luiz walked toward, into his office that he shared with h
“Mr Krafth,” Luiz started. After hearing what he had just heard, he was confused. Luiz did not know how to refer to his boss now. The standing of the Krafth family was arguably the highest in their country, even in the world. Now, he was talking to the sole heir of everything related to the Krafth Empire, of course he was nervous. “You don't have to call me that,” Marcus said. “You can just refer to me the way you used to before you heard all these. Of course I don't need to tell you not to call me this outside too.” Luiz understood. “Boss,” he started again. “I just wanted to bring to your notice the suspicious ways in which my friend, Dominic, has been behaving for a while now.” “Before you continue, Huncho, call Belle in,” Marcus said. Huncho had still not wiped off his fear inspiring gaze. He had had it trained on Luiz all that while. It was after Marcus told him to call Belle in, that he wiped it off. Luiz heaved. He had been in a nerve wrecki
Dominic watched as Marcus left their office. He was starting to get suspicious. However, he did not place too much importance on it. As the main person Marcus placed in charge of their department, it was understandable that Luiz had to go and meet him. At least that was what he thought. Dominic had been born into a family of four. His father was the only one who worked in the family, and he struggled right from the outset to make ends meet. Dominic's dad died when he was still young. Dominic had just got into the university to study the course he had always dreamed of studying. It was a dream come true. His dad, mum and sister all came to celebrate his getting into the school. His dad had called him aside and told him not to worry, that he would take up more jobs to make ends meet. However, Dominic understood the state of things. His father was already trying his best. He would not have the face to ask his father for money every time now that he was grown u
The news that Oscorp corporation wanted to take over the factory was quite shocking to the workers. However, this did not stop them from going about their day to day jobs. Everything proceeded as usual for Dominic. He was still his usual self. Making people laugh and always happy. He had made three good friends at his workplace. Though his friends were kind of bad, they were bullies, he tried his best to make them stop, or at least reduce it. Oscorp Corporation however, took a passer by view of the factory. Though they wanted to buy the factory, they had decided not to pay as much as the asking price of the owners. They obviously had seen what the future held for the factory. It was on a high rise right now, and it looked highly possible that it was going to start making a lot of money. Oscorp decided to wait a bit. They were waiting for the stocks of the factory to go really low. It was while waiting that news came in that the Krafth family was interes
Dominic had searched everywhere in his house. He did not find anything. Now, he was mostly terrified.his family was his life. Without them, he did not know what to do. He decided to go to the sitting room, and think of what to do from there. When he got there, the reality that he might have to call the cops soon started setting in. Dominic and his family never liked the cops. Right from when his father was killed, their distaste for the cops had started. They believed that the death of his father was either related to the police, or they had found clues which could lead to them discovering who killed him, and had intentionally left it. Marcus rested his back on the sofa, looked up, then at the television in the room. When his eyes rested on the television for a slight second before he took it away, he thought he noticed something. His eyes quickly swiveled back. A letter, ye thought. He stood up as quickly as he could and ran to pick the letter up.
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
