EPISODE 23
Markus suddenly realised what he was about to
do. He instantly got up and sat on the edge of
the bed, his head between his hands, cursing
himself internally for losing control.
Kizy straightened herself up beforing clearing
her throat a little awkwardly.
“We will be late for office. Get ready.” She said
and was about to enter the closet.
“Who are you Kizy?” Markus asked in a neutral
voice.
“What do you mean by that?” Kizy replied while
turning back towards him.
“You know the model of gun I carry, you can
easily find if people are following you and trick
them, you know how to damage internal organs
just by a single kick. Who are you exactly?”
Markus asked while looking straight into her
eyes..
Kizy paused for a moment. She knew that
Markus was suspicious about her identity, but
she thought he would keep ignoring these minor
details. Now that he was suddenly questioning
her, she didn’t knew how to answer that.
“I can not tell you my background as that will
put your life in danger. But I can assure you that
I won’t harm you or your family. Instead I will try
to protect you, even putting my life on the line if
needed.” Kizy said firmly.
But this made Markus more confused now. Her
disappearance for past years was already a
mystery. And now she said that her background
was dangerous. His family had been the sole
leader in mafia for decades now.
What exactly was Kizy trying to protect him
from? Was there seriously someone or may be
some group of people who were able to hide
themselve from his men all this time. Was it a
conspiracy?
All these thoughts were clouding his mind.
“Don’t worry, when I am strong enough to
protect everyone around me, I will definitely tell
you everything. For now lets work harder to be
stronger.” Kizy said, interupting his chain of
thoughts.
For a moment, Markus wanted to tell her that he
was the leader of biggest mafia gang in there
country. He didn’t needed to wary of such
people as he was danger himself. Thus she
could easily reveal her background.
But on a secomd thought, he still wanted to
investigate into this by himself. He didn’t
wanted to underestimate anyone, this was
something he learnt from his father’s death.
Thus he decided to let all this thing reveal
themselves on right time instead of rushing to
forcefully find there answers.
“Before going to office, we will have to visit the
Evans Mansion. Grandpa, grandma and mom
know that you left the banquet because of me
and we were not able to locate you for entire
night. You should meet them personally so that
they won’t fret over this anymore.” Markus said
dropping all those complicated thoughts.
“Ok. And sorry for disappearing like that.” Kizy
said and rushed inside the closet without
looking back at Markus.
Afterall this was the first time both of them had
apologised each other and though she wanted
to be genuine, it was a little weird to have some
normal and serious chat with Markus and then
apologize like this.
Both of them got ready and went downstairs.
They had there breakfast before visiting the
Evans Mansion.
“Child are you alright?” Grandpa asked as soon
as Kizy stepped inside the house.
Grandma went a step ahead and directly went
towards Kizy, checking her out from all sides.
“Grandpa, grandma, sorry for making you worry.
I am totally fine.” Kizy said a little
embarassedly.
“I already told you, if this brat troubles you, just
inform me. I will handle him. Next time don’t
leave alone like that. It was too dangerous.”
Grandpa said.
“I will keep that in mind.” Kizy said while
lowering her head.
Next time onwards she would definitely think
twice before leaving in rage. Afterall this kind of
treatment made her feel as if she was someone
very precious, a feeling completely foriegn to
her.
And though she knew that they cared for her
with good intentions, all this love and affection
was too overwhelming for her.
“Since you both are already here, have some
breakfast with us.” Mary said.
“Mom actually both of us already had our
breakfast. I just wanted to apologize for my
inconsiderate and rude behaviour. We still have
to go to company or else we will be late.” Kizy
replied apologetically.
“Do you have any important meeting now?”
Mary directly asked Markus.
Markus simply turned towards Kizy who
immediately recalled his schedule.
“He will have a company meeting in the
morning at 10 am.” Kizy replied instantly.
“Can’t you even remember your own schedule
for today?” Grandpa scolded Markus.
“This is her job.” Markus said with a shrug.
“You brat!! You dare to answer back now. Ha..
Good. I think you truly need to be punished.”
Grandpa said in an angry voice.
“Kizy inform the vice president that meeting has
been postponed. Both of you stay for lunch.”
Mary interupted in between.
Kizy looked at Markus, as if seeking his
approval. But Markus seemed as it didn’t matter
whether he attended the meeting or not. Finally
she called the vice president, informing him
about the change in meeting time.
“You meet me in the study.” Grandpa said
before smiling at Kizy and leaving the room.
Markus silently followed behind him.
“Mom will he recieve some severe punishment?”
Kizy asked Mary out of concern. Ultimately she
was the one who had left in anger, why would
grandpa punish Markus for this?
“Child you don’t worry about him. That pair of
grandson and grandfather have steadfast
personalities, they never give up. Would you like
to spend some time with us?” Grandma said.
“Ok that will do.” Kizy said.
“Come let’s have a walk in garden. Mary come
join us.” Grandma said and thus the trio went
for a walk.
Back in the study, Markus was welcomed with a
paper weight thrown at him.
“Grandpa, i don’t mind this, but isn’t this your
favourite paper weight? How can you throw
this? What will you do if I would have just
dodged it?” Markus asked.
“You only block, i have never taught you to
dodge.” Grandpa said.
“So what do you expect for your punishment
this time?” Grandpa asked while turning his
back at Markus.
“May be sending me to the newly built survival
test, or sparring with the guards continously for
a day, or may be 100 hits or the worst, sending
me on some complicated mission.” Markus
replied indifferently.
“Let’s choose the worst then.” Grandpa said
before sitting behind the study desk.
“I want you to go to City C.” Grandpa replied.
“Is that because of Kizy?” Marlus replied with
some interest.
He only knew that Kizy had been living in City C
before returning back to City A. But other than
that, her life in city C was a complete mystery to
him.
“Yeah.. Though I don’t doubt Kizy, but the thing
that we have not been able to uncover her
background for past one month is our biggest
failure till date.
If people are able to hide themselves from us
even after investigating for one month, we don’t
know what they might have been planning
behind our backs without alarming us at all.
Also we definitely don’t want a potential threat
now that we have finally managed to settle
down our business as well as underworld chaos
after two years.
Thus I want you to personally go and find clues
from her previous city and her job. May be we
will find something unexpected out of this.”
Grandpa finished speaking his thoughts.
“You don’t doubt Kizy but the power behind
them, right? But I don’t think this is the only
reason for sending me.” Markus caught the
main point.
“Yeah. Afterall her actions are too suspicious to
be normal. She has definitely been trained
though she hides it well.
On top of it, your dad’s accident was too
suspicious back then. We were not able to
thoroughly investigate the matter as many
powers were trying to fight for our throne.
Now that we have settled all these things, its
time to find the culprits and make them pay for
there sins.” Grandpa said with a trembling voice
full of hatred, anger and regret.
“Grandpa you have got some lead on dad’s case
right?” Markus spoke, trying to divert the topic.
“You are totally worthy of being your dad’s son.
The truck driver who had commited suicide
after knowing that our people were chasing him,
he was seen in city C two days ago.” Grandpa
said.
And Markus didn’t needed any more hints. He
knew what he had to do now.
“But you won’t be taking Kizy and Joel along
with you. That will make her feel that we are
suspecting her. So let her stay back in the
company to handle other business issues.
I can see that she has great potential, and if
given the right guidance, no body would
compare to her in this field. And Joel would be
of great help to her.
Also if some major matter crops up, i will
personally go and handle it. So just bring your
men to this mission.” Grandpa ordered.
“But I need Joel with me.” Markus complained.
“Yeah you need him so that you can order him
around. Anyways you like ordering Kizy and
Joel, so consider this as my punishment. You
won’t have both of them to serve you this entire
time.” Grandpa said with a grin.
“Fine.” Markus said before turning around and
leaving the room.
Though he was angry at his grandfather for this
unnecessary punishment, but he now had an
even greater task at his hands – to search that
d@mn culprit who had killed his father.
For others, it was nothing more than a random
car accident but only he, grandpa, grandma and
his mom knew that there was more to it.
