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 enemy faction would not know who to target as they would not know who exactly was at the top of their business.

They would just go around chasing their own tails.

Marcus thought this would be a very good way to find out how others treat him in a subjective way now that he was rich.

He could not deny, it was a cruel thing to do, especially to his wife. But he believed it was just a phase. It would pass over.

“That is a very good idea, Marcus.” Juliet said.

“It's just for a while though. After I finish all I'm planning to do, we'll let the world know that the Krafth family should not be trifled with.

Juliet could see the piercing gaze in her brother's eye. She had only seen this in her father's.

She was stunned. How her brother had changed. It was a good thing though.

After all he had gone through it was time for him to be back on his rightful position.

The heir to the throne of the Krafth family.

Juliet could not stop thinking about the storm this would cause when it got to the ears of the public.

“There’s another reason I said we should not reveal it to the public,” Marcus continued.

“Everybody that thought I could not be anything, that bullied me, at one point or the other, I'm going to take revenge on them.”

“The pain I felt at that point should be inflicted back on them. Or what do you think?”

Juliet could not agree more. How could she disagree.

Anytime she remembered what Mr Luiz and his bunch of friends did to Marcus, she got angry. How did she expect Marcus to feel.

“That is a very good thought.” Juliet replied.

Juliet and Marcus finally noticed a maid that had been standing to their side.

They had been so engrossed in their conversation that they did not know when she had entered.

“Yes, what is it?” Juliet asked.

“It's Mr Krafth my lady. He got delay before he could fly over. The president wanted to talk to him.” The maid replied.

“Okay, thank you. You can leave now.”

The maid bowed as she left the room.

So, it seems you won't be able to see father today. He got delay as usual.

“I guess I'm used to this already. This happens frequently over here. This is another reason why he should rest. Things like this are getting way stressful for him.” Juliet said.

“Yes. I'm here now.” Marcus said. “Anyways, I should get going. I don't want my wife to start wondering where I might have gone.”

“Alright. By the way, I took the liberty of getting a new phone for you.” Juliet said.

Juliet called a maid in. She was holding a package that she ripped in front of Marcus. She left after this.

Marcus checked and realized it was the latest model of the iPhone. He was not really surprised at this point.

After all, he was getting to understand how rich his family was.

“Thank you,” he said.

“I already saved some important contacts on the phone, and bad it set up already for you. You can give me a call if you need anything.” Juliet said.

They both stood up. Marcus went and hugged his sister. After all he had missed her.

Juliet said as they were walking out, “One last surprise though. Remember when we used to talk about that sole Dodge Challenger ‘’67. I took the liberty of buying it for you also.”

The smiles on both their faces could not do justice to how hay they both were at that moment. Marcus knew no words needed to be spoken. He just hugged her again.

They both decided it would be best he left the car there today. Huncho then drove Marcus home.

Marcus could hear voices in the sitting room as he let himself in to the house.

He wondered who it was this time, his wife's parents again.

It was his factory manager, Mr luiz.arcus was getting angry when he remembered what Luiz and his friend were saying about his wife before.

He decided to take it easy and get calm. “What is he doing here, dear?” He asked.

“Why did you fight with Mr Luiz and his friends, Marcus?” Juliet asked.

“I had to call him here to apologize to the man, and to beg him not to fire you.”

Marcus looked at his wife. He couldn't believe the way his wife was talking to him. It was almost as if she did not count him as anything again.

“But, you told me to always fight back whenever I get bullied.” Marcus said.

“I don't care.” Juliet said. “Another reason he decided to come was because I told him you were going to apologize to him also.”

Now, that was a bombshell to Marcus. What had happened to the wife that loved him and respected him,he thought.

Mr Luiz was happy to be in the background at this moment and watch how this progressed. He was just on his seat and smirking at Marcus.

Now you feel how big a man I am, Marcus. You should not talk to people bigger than you., He thought.

“But, it was not my fault.” Marcus said.

“They stole my project from me, and still decided to beat me over it!.” Marcus said through clenched teeth.

He was not only angry at Mr Luiz at this point. He was angry at his wife. This level of disrespect was too much for him too bear

Chantelle was shocked. This was the first time her husband had raised his voice at her. She could tell that he was angry.

But she did not care. She decided to stand her ground.

“I still don't care. You need to apologize to this man. You might lose your job you know, and I for sure can not go through that again.” She said.

Marcus decided to concede to her. He remembered all she had gone through with him.

“Alright. I'll apologize to him.” Marcus glanced to the side and could still see that horrible grin on Mr Luiz's face. “But, I'm not going to do that here. I'll do that at the factory, after all, it was there that I was insulted.”

Marcus had thought through every scenario possible. He decided it was time to payback everyone at the factory who bullied him.

He could not wait for the next day.
