STORIES BY BLINKS
On the other hand, Kizy, who had simply wanted to go back and take some rest, was successfully held back by the glares of her team members, The Black Command.
Rose had moments ago seen the live interview given by Kizy after award show. But Kizy’s statement had made her shout out loud, making all the team members rush to her.
They had just seen the entire interview and were still digesting it when Kizy arrived, a perfectly wrong time for her.
“You are pregnant?” Unusually Victor was the first person to ask, his voice breaking at the end.
Though he was generally logical in all situations, pregnancy and daughters or females were a little sensitive topics for him, which made him unable to think rationally.
“Why?” It was Jason who asked this time.
And Kizy knew that Jason wasn’t asking about the pregnancy, but instead he wanted to know why she had made such a stupid move in such dire situations.
“Jason, I needed some excuse for mine and Markus’s disappearance from social media and public places for this long. I don’t know where he is, if he is alright and when he will return. I can not keep his absence a secret forever. It’s already been a month now, the time period he had promised me for his return.
But is he back? No. I had no other way.” Kizy answered, even when she was dead tired and not in the mood to reply.
But Jason had always been her guide, her support. Hence she could not make it in herself to not answer Jason.
“Diamond, You could have thought for some more time or maybe asked for help from all of us. What will you do if Markus is to return sometime sooner and you have to make another public appearance? Won’t that damage your image?
And most importantly, what if your excuse puts Markus in a more difficult position?” Jason said all of this in a single breath, his mind not approving the way Kizy had handled the situation.
In fact, according to him, instead of handling, Kizy had made the situation even more complicated. Markus’s safety was put at a greater risk now.
“Then why don’t you tell me where Markus is? Just tell me and I will right now, at this very moment, confess the truth to the media.” Kizy said.
“I can not do that.” Jason replied, his voice monotonous.
“See. And now try putting yourself in my shoes. You still expect me to make rational decisions after surviving this for a month.” Kizy answered.
“But you have us all Diamond. Markus’s plan may delay but he will return. Till then, he has asked us to help you out, to make your survival better than what it would have been.” Jason answered.
“I just feel like some damn damsel in distress who is completely useless and needs others for every single problem. I just feel like dying!!” Kizy exclaimed before turning around and running out of the house.
“Second sister!” Rose, Victor and Harry called out in unison while Jason wasted no time and ran behind Kizy.
Rose, Victor and Harry did the same by following Jason.
Kizy, on the other hand, was running her way towards the gates, not knowing what she was searching for. But there was one thing that she knew, and that was she wanted to die.
She had been sustaining it enough for a month, but she couldn’t continue the same anymore.
She was never a weak person to begin with, in fact she was strong, strong and cold. But Markus had slowly melted her, making her feel emotions she never felt before.
If Markus was to disappear like this but without making any arrangements for her, without giving her the protection of all these people, without sacrificing all his wealth on her, she would have made out a way and even fought the world if needed.
But remaining safe in the circle of members allotted for her, getting to eat and sleep luxuriously while handling a business which put her in zero risk, Kizy had started to hate herself for being the cause of the problem.
She was the one having all those enemies, making Markus worried all time. But what she hated the most about herself was her incompetency which resulted in Markus being the shield for her every single time, sustaining all the attacks to himself while keeping her safe.
Kizy wiped her tears away which were blurring her vision while she increased her speed, knowing that Jason would definitely catch up with her soon.
But just as she was about to reach the gate, she suddenly felt her vision darkening and before she knew it, she was losing consciousness.
The last thing she heard was Jason crying out ‘Diamond’ before she became completely unconscious.
Jason, who had been closely following Kizy, was fortunately able to catch her in time, saving her in time from falling hard on the ground.
“Diamond! Diamond, are you all right?” Jason called out to the blacked out Kizy, but to no avail.
“Lady boss!!” Alex came running towards Jason and Kizy, not knowing what exactly happened.
Jason wasted no time before lifting the unconscious Kizy up, and walking inside with his team and Alex following closely behind.
He entered the house in huge strides before placing Kizy gently on the sofa.
He then turned around, intending to bring some water, but Rose was a step ahead and passed him the glass of water she had just bought.
Jason sprinkled some water on Kizy’s face, making her move a little.
Kizy tossed and turned a little before finally taking a foetal position, a habit all her team members were aware of. This was how she slept whenever she was insecure.
“Bring her a blanket.” Jason said and Harry instantly went running to Kizy’s room for the same.
Once back he passed the blanket to Jason, who took a step ahead before stopping.
“Cover her up properly.” Jason said while turning to Rose.
Rose instantly understood his intention and took the blanket before gently wrapping Kizy inside it, even tucking a strand or two of her hair behind her ears.
“What happened to Lady boss?” Alex, who was unable to remain calm anymore, finally spoke up.
“Your lady boss over exhausted herself and fainted.” Jason replied in a monotonous voice, masking the whirlwind of emotions that was going on in his mind.
“Will she be alright?” Alex asked in a worried tone.
“Yeah. She needed some proper rest to let her body relax.” Jason paused before continuing.
“But if she is to continue at this rate, it won’t be simple fainting next time. If possible, try to convince her to slack off a little. Or else no one can save her.” Jason replied before turning and leaving for his room.
Victor signalled Rose, who instantly followed behind Jason while Alex left the room as well, intending to let his lady boss have some peaceful rest.
“Jason.” Rose called out, hoping that Jason would stop.
But instead, he increased his pace, walking straight towards his bedroom.
Rose literally had to run in order to stop the shutting door and enter the room behind Jason.
“What’s wrong with Second sister? There is more to it than just fainting, right?” Rose asked while catching her breath.
Jason paused in his tracks, but didn’t turn back, unable to make himself face Rose.
“Tell me Jason!” Rose literally shouted at Jason, something she had never done in the past.
“Diamond. Huhh.” Jason said before taking slow steps towards his bed, ultimately sitting on it.
“She is suffering from depression.” Jason said after some time, as if contemplating whether he wanted to share this piece of information with the rest of his team or not.
“What!! This can’t be true… no.. Second sister and.. and depression? No!!” Rose spoke in a louder tone while strongly shaking her head, as if she was convincing herself rather than telling Jason.
Jason just kept quiet, his own thoughts running at a speed no less than of light.
“Jason, you know that the Second Sister has got such strong willpower! If she decides to do something, nobody can stop her from doing so. She has always been one of the supportive pillars whenever our team was down. How can she be depressed? No no, you must have misunderstood her. A person as strong as second sister can never suffer something like that!” Rose spoke up again, finally managing to make Jason speak.
“A person as strong as Second sister? Don’t be silly Rose. Look at Diamond carefully. Do you still think that she is still the same second sister that accompanied us to all those missions?” Jason questioned, to which Rose had no answer.
“We have long lost that Diamond who used to stand like an ice queen even when death faced her. But the one living in front of you is just trying to present herself as her previous self. She is empty from inside. That bastard Markus had simply left an empty shell for us to protect!” Jason replied, his anger taking the best of him.
Rose just stood there frozen, rooted to the ground, unable to make any moments while tears rolled down her face.
Both of them stayed the same for time unknown, not knowing how to react.
Finally Rose wiped her tears away, taking a much needed deep breath before looking straight at Jason.
“I don’t know about you all, but I am not going to let my Second sister fall into depression. No matter what it takes, but I will cheer her up again.” Rose said in a determined tone, before leaving Jason’s room.
Jason just looked at the closed door, knowing that if it was Rose, then they had some hopes.
Meanwhile Victor and Harry were still sitting beside Kizy, worried that she might wake up suddenly and run away.
“You both can go. I will stay with her.” Rose said while walking towards the trio.
“No, we will wait.” Harry said instantly, without even thinking for a moment.
“Okay. I think First brother, at least you should go. I won’t be allowing Second sister to leave for the office tomorrow. So can you go to the company tomorrow instead of her?” Rose asked.
Victor contemplated for a minute, before finally nodding his head.
“Ok. I will go. Take care of her and if something happens, call me immediately.” Victor said before getting up.
“Hmmm.” Rose nodded in response.
Both she and Harry stayed for the night but Kizy didn’t wake up. After all her body was dead tired and needed this rest desperately. Hence it was trying to compensate for all those sleepless nights by this sleep.
7 AM, HALL, MARKUS’s HOUSE
Kizy stirred a little before opening her eyes, feeling her body sore. She turned around only to see Rose staring at her while Harry had fallen asleep near her sofa, his hand holding hers.
Kizy gave a questioning gaze to Rose before all the memories from last night came running back to her.
Kizy instantly turned her head to the other side, feeling guilty for her actions.
“Look at me!” Rose said in a serious tone.
Kizy turned slightly before trying to signal Rose to not speak anything.
“You will wake him up.” Kizy said in a low tone, worried that Harry would wake up from their voice.
“Let him wake up then. I don’t care!” Rose said, her voice even more stern now.
“First sister, can you be any louder?” Harry spoke in a sleepy voice while scratching his head, moving some more before getting up.
“I need to talk with you. Should I speak here or go somewhere else?” Rose asked.
“My room?” Kizy asked, knowing that Rose was dead serious and she could not avoid her anymore.
“Let’s go then.” Rose said before getting up and walking ahead, without even waiting for Kizy.
“What about me?” Harry asked, confused about what was going on.
“Stay right here and ask the kitchen to cook a healthy meal.” Rose said before walking up the stairs, followed by Kizy, who had shrunken herself completely to minimize her presence.
