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 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.
