Marcus: Charismatic Billionaire

chapter 3

Marcus' life was an empty one before he met Lydia. Lydia was the only reason he was surviving and the reason just shattered.

He approached the bike and uttered, "I should just die". He boarded the bike with the thought to drive himself off the bridge and drowned.

As he was about to board his bike, five …. Van cars pulled in front of him, people nearby stopped to watch what was going on, because the van couldn't be used just by anyone, it was usually used by very Influential people for security.

Marcus was electrified and unable to move as tens of men came out from the vans dressed in black with dark glasses.

Marcus sweated, he thought maybe Hales had called these people to deal with him.

Just then, they all bowed for him, and hauled.

"Young master!".

"Uhm", he mumbled and looked behind, maybe they were bowing for someone else. But the bow was for him.

His heart raced and he didn't even know how to react.

"Vroom" Another car arrived, it was an Audi R8 V10!, People dropped their jaws. The car was opened and another man dressed in black shiny cashmere that is well tailored with a grey tire that matches his attire. He seemed to be the leader of them.

He approached them and Marcus made some steps backwards.

"I…I am so…", he wanted to apologize, because he still thought it was Hales' work. Then, the charismatic man kneeled in front of him.

"Sorry young master that we come too late", he hauled and the others kneeled also.

Marcus chuckled, "oh! I think there is a mistake somewhere, I am Marcus, a delivery man, and a loser".

The man stood up, and walked toward him slowly, "you have suffered a lot because of our recklessness, we ought to be punished, your father is waiting for you, please come with us".

The others stood up and quickly opened the Audi car for him.

He stood there reluctantly to enter.

"Please, enter", the man respectfully said, still bowing his head. Marcus then tentatively entered the car and sat gently.

He had never in his life sat in a luxury car like this, Lydia had one but he had never dared to drive it.

The men scattered to their various vans, as their leader entered the driver seat where Marcus was, and drove Marcus himself.

His heart raced very fast because he couldn't understand any of this, he was sure that there must be a mistake somewhere. He was an orphan that grew up at the orphanage and just left with sliver necklace, he had it since he was a kid.

After some minutes, the cars entered a tall building in which the gate automatically opened by itself, beautified with many glimmering lights.

The men got out of the cars and rushed to open the door for him. The leader also got down and walked to Marcus who was still in the car, afraid to get down.

He bowed, "everything will be okay young master, please follow us in", he gestured. Marcus gently exited the car and stood in front of the door. He looked around, there were many Guards surrounding the building, all with guns.

They opened the door for him, and before he could even know it, his shoes were off for him. He almost spinned around for the beautiful, spacious and well-set room.

A female, probably a maid, approached them, and by herself, she took off his clothes also. And lead him to a room.

"This will be your room sir", the maid said. The room exudes luxury with rich colors and ornate wooden furniture. A king-sized bed draped in plush linens dominated the space, while a large window offered a view of the picturesque landscape outside. Tasteful artwork adorned the walls, creating a serene sanctuary for relaxation. Marcus dropped his jaw and muttered, "paradise".

"We have prepared a blissful shower for you sir", she said and gestured to the bathroom.

Marcus walked slowly to the bathroom, the bathroom could contain three people. There was a jacuzzi in there and a lot of expensive soap. It all seemed like a dream.

He quickly had a shower because he was still scared. He put on the towel and returned to the room

As Marcus returned to the room, he found a selection of tailored suits laid out on the bed. He chose a charcoal grey suit, feeling the luxurious fabric between his fingers as he dressed himself.

The female attendant knocked and came in.

"Is there anything I can help you with", she softly said.

He smiled adjusting the tie, "this".

The attendant moved closer to him and adjourned it, she smiled bashfully which sent cold to Marcus spine. He looked at himself in the mirror and was shocked by his transformation.

"Your father is waiting for you", she told him.

Marcus frowned, "father? I don't have one, I am an orphan".

"Everything will be explained to you", she said and led the way, Marcus followed.

They arrived at the sitting room, and the attendant showed him where to sit, then offered him a wine and poured it.

"Your father is coming", she said.

"Okay, I will wait", Mlynar answered and the attendant left.

Marcus was tempted to taste the wine, he loved it and couldn't stop drinking that he didn't notice when his so-called father climbed down the stairs.

Dressed in a sleek black shirt, his air neatly packed behind, he walked with an air of authority, and two men beside him with guns.

"Son", he called in a deep voice, that Marcus immediately dropped the drink and stood up, bowing down.

"Marcus, raise up your head and look at your father", he uttered and Marcus slowly raised his head up.

As soon as he saw the man, he widened his head in amaze. There was no need for DNA before one could know this was his father. He was a carbon copy of his father.

He just looked, not knowing what to say.

The man slowly approached him and then gave him a big hug.

"Son, I am sorry", The man said with so much emotion, but Marcus slowly released himself.

"Who are you to call yourself my father", he asked.

"I am thonks", he said, the name alone sent another shockwaves through him. He heard the name, the only wealthiest person in Boston and one of the billionaires all over the state.

The man dipped his hand and brought out the same silver necklace that was with Marcus.
