Marcus Krafth; The Rise to Magnificence Chapter 001
It was a Monday. Marcus's day was going as usual. He was a low level employee in a factory who attended to the most unpleasant work anyone would have wanted to do in the factory. This was the longest he had been on a job. It was his second week here. He always got fired quickly from all his jobs. This was not because he was not hardworking. The opposite was rather the case. Marcus was one of the most hardworking people in the country. He gets sacked most of the time because of how petty and ragged he looks. The same set of clothes had been worn by him to work for years now. Marcus never used his salary to change his wardrobe. Rather he spent all of his earnings no matter how meager on his wife. This was the reason he was a hard worker. Even though Marcus suffered, both at work and everywhere else, he made sure he tried his best to make his wife happy. Chantelle, his wife was a woman from an averagely well to do family. She had been pampe

Marcus dragged his injured and now sore body out of the office. He saw a lot of his work mates sneering at him. Some of them even started spitting in his direction. He started thinking. He hated his life. Everything seemed bleak at that moment. He was angry at everything. His parents, for not being rich. Himself, for not getting to where he thought he will be right now. Marcus suddenly remembered the only saving grace in his life. His wife. She was a gem.She was the only bright light in his overall existence. He could not wait to get home. Marcus suddenly remembered how his wife had changed of late. She started hating their lifestyle. She did not tell him that, but he could feel it. It seemed like she hated how poor he was. The fact that he could not afford everything she wanted. Or the fact that he was an embarrassment to her. It had started raining. Marcus got home that wet night looking more ragged than ever. He was sporting bruises a

It was a sunny afternoon. Marcus had left his house really early in the morning His mind was still in shock because of the address sent to him by his father yesterday. Marcus knew he would clear his doubts when he saw his father. He was just shocked because the place he was going to was we're really influential people lived in Edinburgh. Marcus wondered if something had changed in his father. He knew his father did not like bringing his children to we're he worked. This caused extra confusion for Marcus. Why did he call it home, he wondered. The day was already sunny when Marcus got to the neighborhood. He kept looking like a lost puppy on the sidewalks of the houses he passed. It would be really shocking if his father got a job in any of these houses, he thought. He could see buildings he only saw on the television all around him. Everything in the area radiated wealth. Of stinkingly rich people. Marcus finally got to the address his fath

Ben was more annoyed than he had ever been his whole life. What could have made this guy believe he's able to enter this place, he wondered. “If you do not leave here now, I really am going to call security on you.” he said to Marcus. “I'm still going to stand by what I said. My father can not be wrong. The worst case scenario is that he works here.” Marcus said. The more Ben looked at Marcus, the more irritated he got. He did not believe Marcus's father even had the qualification to work here. Ben decided to call the security. He was sick of the sight of Marcus. He wanted him to remove Marcus from the area. He turned around and walked back to the gate of the palace. “Sorry to bother you Mr Huncho,” he said, after checking the name tag on the security guard's cloth. “But there is a beggar at the entrance claiming his father invited him here, he has been disturbing the peace in the area.” “He likely cheated his way to get into the estate.”

Ben thought Juliet must have been joking. His face told a lot of stories. He did not want to believe what he heard. He couldn't. How could a man looking like this be related to the Krafth's. Ben thought about it again. He realized he had not heard a reply from Juliet. She just stood in front of the beggar worth her back to him. Ben waited for her to talk before he pounced on Marcus. Marcus moved in to hug his sister, after all it had been for, he saw her. Huncho, seeing this rushed in. His head was pumping with all the anger he could muster at the moment. How dare this beggar have any thoughts on his young miss, he thought. He promised himself to teach him a lesson today. Huncho moved as fast as he could. In fact, he believed he moved faster than he had ever done. He had to beat up this man that dared touch Miss Juliet. He did not want to listen his job. Huncho liked the lifestyle that came with being the security man of the Krafth famil

What is going on, Marcus thought. Can this even be true. Marcus had been looking into space for a while. If what his sister said was true then, he did not even know what to believe again. Juliet had been staring at her brother since she finished explaining to him. She could see different emotions pass through his face since she stopped talking. Juliet could tell one thing for certain. Her brother was angry. She had kept tabs on Marcus since. She knew what he had been going through. About the bullying and beatings and every other thing. She knew about how his boss at work decided to discredit him and even later beat him, because of the project he submitted to him. She was also angry for him. Juliet knew Marcus did not deserve all of that. When she first got to know about her family's wealth, she had begged her father, times without number, to call her brother home. She was denied every single time. She later understood that there was no possible
Marcus Krafth; The Rise to Magnificence Chapter 007
A lot of things had been going through Marcus's mind. His life that was about to change, how to prove to others that he was not a lazy person and also how to take revenge on others that bullied him. “Juliet,” Marcus called. “Yes, brother.” “I think, I want you to hide me from the world.” Marcus said after thinking for some while. “What! What do you mean brother?” Juliet was stunned. Any random person that they were worth, personally, over a trillion dollars, would be so happy to let the world know. In fact, they would even flaunt and show off not only themselves but their money also. Marcus laughed. “I don't mean it like that. I want you to hide it from the world that the company's heir is back.” Juliet looked at her brother once again. How did her usual brother get this thoughtful and smart, she wondered. Juliet could not disagree with this idea. It had more advantages over disadvantages. Not only for the company , but also for Marcus. The

Mr Luiz smiled. He couldn't agree more to the suggestion Marcus gave. He knew tomorrow would be so embarrassing for Marcus. The more he thought of how bad Marcus would look, the wider his smile got. Chantelle noticed how wide his grin was. She was concerned, but she still stood her ground. What both of them did not know was that Marcus was less than bothered about what would happen tomorrow. In fact, he could not wait. He could not wait to see all their expressions when they found out. He felt so at ease. Is this how it feels to be rich, he wondered. It's true what they say then, Money does solve every problem. Mr Luiz stood up, still grinning, “it's time for me to go. Marcus, don't be late tomorrow. We all can't wait for how you'll apologize tomorrow.” “Alright then, Mr Luiz. My husband will be there tomorrow. I'll make sure of it.” Chantelle said. Mr Luiz marched to the entrance, with Chantelle in tow. “Goodnight,” he said. “Goodnight to you too,

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
