“What do you mean by that?” Andrew asked, not getting a good feeling about whatever Markus was about to speak next.
“I am not going to sit idly and wait for him to trap us once again. This time I will be the one to strike first.” Markus said, making Andrew’s jaw drop to the ground.
Andrew opened and closed his mouth several times before he finally found his voice.
“Are you out of your mind?” Andrew asked, not expecting the always calm Markus to speak something so rash.
“No. In fact I plan to do this soon. Professor had sent one of his few best men to capture Kizy and kill me this time.
I had seen their fighting prowess. Even though I was not given much chance to fight as Kizy was being held by his men, I could feel that all their attacks were powerful, at least at my level.
Even Jason fought them with the help of Rose and Harry.” Markus said and took a pause.
“So?” Andrew asked, though knowing what Markus was pointing at.
“I will be increasing the strength of my team, my men. I also plan to widen my network and include more people to the team.
I am taking a little break for now so that I could watch over Kizy to recuperate fully. She would be trained under my personal guidance. She can not rely on guns forever.
After that, I will be attacking the professor in three months.” Markus said.
“Are you sure about this plan? If you can train your men and Kizy within three months, even he can.” Andrew said, pointing out the obvious.
“That’s where the main plan comes. Within the three months, I will be-” Markus was speaking when a running Joel came inside the room to notify Kizy’s arrival.
They immediately stopped talking about this topic and started discussing business.
Kizy entered and saw that the duo was quiet, but she didn’t want to interfere much. Thus she smiled and came before Andrew, who was in a propped up position.
“Your breakfast.” Kizy said cheerfully.
Markus saw that only a single bowl was placed on the bed table.
“What about my breakfast?” Markus asked.
“I already said that I won’t be cooking your breakfast.” Kizy said nonchalantly.
“What about your breakfast?” Markus asked again.
“I don’t feel hungry.” Kizy said.
“You go and maybe take a walk in the garden. I will cook something for both of us.” Markus said while immediately getting up from the bed, trying to be a good husband and making up with Kizy.
“I said I am not hungry.” Kizy said, as she truly wasn’t hungry, or else she would have cooked something for herself.
“I told you to go and have a look around our garden. The garden here is truly beautiful and was made under mom’s guidance. You would definitely like it.
Yesterday you were unable to see the villa properly because of this fool. So go and have some fresh air until I cook breakfast or more specifically our brunch.
Let Jack and Alex accompany you.” Markus said.
“Okay.” Kizy said, not making things more difficult for Markus.
“I see.” Andrew said in an exaggerated tone.
“I will go now.” Markus said, ignoring Andrew and making him mad.
“Let me return to my original health. I will beat you up like the old days.” Andrew shouted from behind while Markus just laughed quietly at his statement.
Kizy took her leave as well, curious to know the garden which was personally grown by Mary.
And true to her expectations, the garden was truly beautiful beyond words. It was filled with various colourful flowers, but even they had a unique pattern which could be seen only after careful observation.
There was a fountain located on both the sides of the garden while the path towards the villa was present in between, lined by orchids.
Fresh breeze was continuously blowing in the garden, carrying the scented smells of various flowers, while playing with Kizy’s wavy hairs, making them dance along the wind.
Kizy started walking around the garden, curiously inspecting the different flower species, while clicking some photos of the flowers in between.
Meanwhile Markus, who had just come out on the balcony to have a look at his little lamb, was mesmerised by the scene that greeted him.
Kizy was directly sitting barefoot on the grass, while a book could be seen in her hand, her eyes appearing slightly closed due to the sunlight. Occasionally she would tuck her hair strands behind her ear, and then resume whatever she was doing with the book and pen.
Markus could only vaguely make out that she was scribbling something.
But his concentration was not on the book, but the person holding the book, who was looking no less than some exquisite piece of art, that stood out from the rest of her colourful surroundings.
Kizy looked no less than a beautiful, blooming flower that refused to blend with the rest of the flowers present in the garden. It was made to shine alone.
Markus immediately took out his phone and started capturing his earth shatteringly beautiful wife through the camera.
“This camera is truly pathetic!” He said dejectedly after looking at the photos which could make any woman go green with envy.
‘Hehe boss, you have got the latest phone model with the best quality camera available for cell phones in the market right now. If this is pathetic, I don’t know what the camera from an ordinary phone is like.’ Joel thought from the behind, not understanding what his boss expected.
Markus was about to click some more photos when his timer beeped, showing that the dish had cooked.
“Time for breakfast. Go and call Kizy inside.” Marmus said, knowing that Joel was standing behind him.
“Yes boss.” Joel said and turned to leave, but suddenly turned back again, facing Markus’s back.
“Uhmm, boss.” He said, trying to clear his throat.
“Yes?” Markus asked, not paying any attention to Joel while still looking at his phone.
“Should I buy a good quality camera for you?” Joel asked after gathering his courage.
Finally this made Markus look at his poor secretary, who was standing expectantly at the door.
“Hmmm. Not a bad idea. Go purchase the best camera.” Markus said while nodding.
“Yes boss.” Joel said and turned, feeling happy that he was useful to his boss.
“Also.” Markus said, making Joel stop in his track.
“Anything else boss?” Joel asked.
“You, Jack and Alex will receive a bonus this month.” Markus said and went inside the kitchen.
‘Don’t tell me we are getting a bonus because Boss is happy after simply watching Young Miss!’ Joel thought, shocked in the beginning, but soon the word bonus made a huge smile appear on his face.
‘Long live Boss!! Long live Young Miss!!’ He cheered internally and instantly went to call Kizy for brunch.
The next few days went by uneventfully where the distance between Kizy and Markus lessened even more, while Andrew and Kizy became good friends.
Andrew would intermittently advice Kizy about a thing or two in fighting, sometimes unintentionally making her understand her weak points and how to strengthen them.
During this whole time, Kizy looked after Andrew and Markus’s diet, even using her medical knowledge to plan proper meals and help Andrew with healing faster.
While Markus was busy planning his next steps, discussing it with Andrew continuously.
And though Kizy could feel that there was something secretive going on between the duo, she never interfere
She just hoped that her current days, which were one of the most peaceful days of her life, would continue this way without any disturbance.
THREE WEEKS LATER, A CITY
Kizy and Markus returned back to A city along with Andrew. But they decided to keep him hidden till he recuperated fully.
Thus, Andrew stayed at one of the villas owned by Markus, while Kizy and Markus went back to their own home.
11 PM, MARKUS’s HOUSE
Kizy worriedly called Joel, as Markus, whom she had been calling for the past two hours, wasn’t accepting her call.
Markus was nowhere to be seen since the morning.
Earlier she didn’t care much, thinking that he must be busy with some site inspection or other business related meeting.
Thus she didn’t think much about his absence. Plus she hadn’t gone to the office today as well as yesterday as grandpa, Mary and grandma had called her back home to spend some time.
Because of this she wasn’t even aware about Markus’s scedule for today.
But she had been home for three hours already. And Markus would usually return back home by 8 pm.
Thus she hadn’t called him till now. But after 9 pm, she thought that she should at least ask when he would be returning back home.
But Markus didn’t pick up her call. She decided to wait for sometime. Yet Markus didn’t call her back.
She called him back again after half an hour but the outcome was the same.
She continued calling him every ten-fifteen minutes, texting him to call her as soon as possible but there was no answer from his side.
With all this, she suddenly started panicking, her recent experience with the Professor alarming her of something negative.
Though she didn’t want to think of anything bad, she couldn’t help it. She just knew the professor too well, and didn’t want to repeat another bad incident this soon, especially regarding Markus.
Thus here she was, calling Joel, who fortunately picked up her call on the very second ring.
“Hello Young miss.” He said from the other side, his voice a little surprised as she had called this late.
“Hello Joel. Sorry for calling late, but are you still working?” Kizy asked, going straight to the point.
“No Young Miss.” Joel responded, his voice a little confused.
“Then, is Markus with you?” Kizy asked.
“No Young Miss. Boss left the office at 9 pm with me. We had to complete documentation for tomorrow’s presentation. Hence we worked for extra time. Is there some problem? Has the boss not returned yet?” Joel asked.
“Yes. He hasn’t returned back home. Plus he isn’t picking up my call. So I thought it was better to call you.” Kizy said, her voice dejected.
“Just wait a moment young Miss. I will still call back to the company and confirm if the boss returned back for something.” Joel said.
“Ok.” Kizy replied and hung up the call, her heart feeling even more uneasy.
And thankfully Joel called her back exactly within a minute.
“Hello Young Miss.” Joel said.
“Yes.” Kizy replied hopefully.
“The man said that the boss had left the office with me. Since we had worked for more time, the boss asked me to leave for my home and not drop him to your house.” Joel replied, his voice alarmed.
“Then what should we do now? Maybe I should call his friends. Or do you know someone else? Like maybe any business partner or anyone who had planned dinner with Markus tonight?” Kizy asked, knowing that only Joel was the second person in company who had access to Markus’s schedule after her.
“No young miss. Boss didn’t have any dinner plans tonight. Let me go and check everything by myself.” Joel said, his voice on full alert.
“Ok. I will try calling his friends then.” Kizy said and ended the call.
She was about to call but didn’t know why she felt that she should try calling Markus one more time.
She called Markus’s number and called again. As always, the call rang but he didn’t pick up.
Kizy was about to end the call when suddenly the call was received from the other side.
“Hello Markus where the hell are you? Shouldn’t you at least inform me-” Kizy was still speaking when she was cut off.
“Excuse me Miss, wait a minute.” Suddenly a strange voice was heard from the other side
