Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 10
Kizy and Markus were sitting in the passenger seats. Kizy knew that Markus would be suspicious hence she once again diverted the topic.
“Can you pay my monthly salary in advance?” Kizy asked him.
“When the month isn’t over yet?” Markus said while raising his brows.
“But still i have been working for three weeks already. It will be a month in another week. I am your wife and i will be working there forever. Can’t you pay me a little earlier.” Kizy asked.
“Rules are rules dear. Even if you are my wife, you are also an employee.. And i can not discriminate between my employees” Markus said with a grin.
Kizy huffed and turned her face away from him. Markus thought for a minute before asking.
“Why do you need your salary now?” Markus knew very well what this dumb little lamb must be thinking.
“I wanted to buy gift for grandma from my salary” Kizy said with a pout.
“Why don’t you use my money? Afterall i am your husband” Markus was amused at his correct guess.
“No then that will be your gift. I want to buy all of them some gifts from my salary” Kizy said.
“But you are already mine. Whatever belongs to me is yours as well” Markus played along with her.
“No. You don’t have to be so cheesy with me. I won’t use your money. Anyways your company pays high salary so i can afford gifts for all three of them. Its just that the celebration is before I recieve my pay” Kizy said dejectedly.
Markus wanted to laugh at her thought process. However he cleared his throat before asking.
“How about this? I will pay for your gifts for the time being. After you recieve your payment, pay me back. Or i can directly deduct the gift price from your payment and pay you the remaining salary?” Markus suggested.
Kizy’s face immediately brightened.
“Yes yes. You can do that. Just deduct the salary and pay me remaining one. Anyways the salary is paid directly to my account so others won’t know” she clapped her hands at the brilliant idea.
Markus laughed inside his mind. How was this woman so gullible? If not for him, anyone would have tricked her easily.
But what he didn’t knew was Kizy was so carefree because it was him. No matter how much they fought, Kizy knew that Markus has never crossed her line. Knowing each other for years had made her realise that he never cheated others and had his own principles. Thus she didn’t have to think twice before relying on him.
This was something that even she didn’t knew. It had become her habit to subconsciously trust this man a little over years. Though he always spat vicious words which almost made her vomit blood, he had never done anything inappropriate to her.
The car came to a halt near one of the most expensive malls in City A.
“Are you doing this on purpose? Though your company pays higher salary than others, i can not afford this mall. It is too expensive” Kizy complained as soon as the car stopped.
“Stupid lamb, this mall belongs to our family. If the staff knows that your are accompanying me, they would give you generous discounts” Markus scoffed.
“Seriously?? But it would be your loss. Because this mall belongs to you, giving a discount will not give you any profit” Kizy asked.
“Do you think i will go in loss just for you. Even if they give a discount, they will make sure that they can still profit from it” with that he opened the car and started walking towards the mall.
Kizy immediately got down from the car before running behind him. She was busy contemplating if it was a good idea to buy from this mall and let Markus pay, that she didn’t saw the car speeding towards her.
Markus was walking ahead but he had slowed down a little after hearing the sound of her running shoes. Just when he was about to speed up so that he could tease her, his driver shouted
“Young miss watch out!!”
Even Kizy who was lost in her thoughts suddenly realized that she was crossing the road and a car was about to hit her. And Markus witnessed exactly the same scene where Kizy stopped in her tracks and closed her eyes in fear.
He quickly ran towards her, knowing that this would be useless as the car was speeding and he won’t be able to reach her no matter how fast he ran. This was the moment when he felt scared, panicked and lost. These emotions that he had never felt before.
Just as the car was about to hit her, a shadow pushed her away. The driver, Markus, his bodyguards were all shocked at the scene. Just when they thought that it was done for Kizy, someone had pushed her away and got hit by the car instead of Kizy.
But the most stunned person right now was none other than Kizy. Moments ago she was so afraid that her legs weren’t moving at all. It wasn’t that she didn’t wanted to move, but it seemed as if her legs were paralysed for that very moment.
Memories from the night when her mother met an accident came running down in her mind. Kizy had been badly traumatised by the accident and that was why she wasn’t able to run after watching the car. But just when she was waiting for the pain from this collision, two hands firmly pushed her away from behind and she had fallen down on the ground.
All the passer by watched this scene and they were standing to watch what happened exactly. All the eyes were on the figure which was laying in a pool of blood, covered in black clothes.
Markus ran towards Kizy and lifted her up from the ground. But suddenly Kizy pushed his hand away and ran towards the person on ground. Markus followed behind her and was a little shocked at the identity of this person.
The person laying in the pool of blood was none other than Jack, one of the two bodyguards Markus had arranged for Kizy. Even Markus was shocked at his act, as he was the one who had ordered them to protect Kizy with there own life.
But what he meant was to protect her from enemies like that. Who would have thought that at the last moment when Kizy was about to meet an accident, the bodyguard would take the blow instead of her.
Kizy immediately squatted down beside the unconscious Jack and tried to feel his pulse. But his pulse was too weak from the blood loss.
“Markus… please.. please save him…. please sa-” and with that Kizy passed out.
Luckily Markus was just behind her, to catch her in time. He immediately scooped her up in his arms before signalling Alex, the second bodyguard arranged for Kizy.
Both Jack and Alex were asked to follow Kizy all the time, except when she was at home. Thus they had been following her even when she left from hospital. They followed in a different car behind Kizy and they had witnessed how she was about to crash with the car. Since there car was just behind Markus’s car, it was easier for Jack to quickly ran and pushed Kizy away. But he wasn’t able to save himself in time.
Alex along with other bodyguards of Markus lifted Jack and placed him carefully in the car. Markus carried Kizy to his car and the driver didn’t need any command at this time. He quickly took a U-turn and sped off towards the hospital again.
But unknown to all of them, a lot of passer byes had witnessed this scene. Afterall it was a rare chance to see Markus walking in streets. Not to mention them, even the people working at his company were not able to see him. Thus when they had seen him, all of them were clicking his photos or recording the videos.
Along with that, the accident had attracted a lot of people as well. Many of the youngsters had shot the video where Kizy was pushed by a man, how Markus had ran towards kizy, how they were worried for the man on ground and alas how Markus had picked Kizy up in princess style before driving away.
All of them knew that Markus never had any woman beside him. But today he was seen with such a beauty. And to add the final cherry to this, his fear when Kizy was about to crash and his panic when Kizy fainted was enough for them to deduct how important she was to him.
Thus when Jack was undergoing a surgery and Kizy was given IV drip in the hospital, all online forums including the business and entertainmnent ones were in complete frenzy. The video where Markus carried Kizy in his arms had reached the top search and was the hottest topic at the moment on social media. All types of speculations were made based on this video alone.
“Who is this beauty here? Why haven’t i seen her before this?”
“Ohh my weak heart. I can’t take this. How can my male god look this cool while simply carrying a girl. I wish it would have been me instead of her. I envy you girl”
“Don’t take my man away. How dare you recieve such treatment from him”
“So does this mean that Markus won’t be remaining on the list of most eligible bachelors now?”
When the entire city, or more like the entire country was busy commenting on this, a certain devil had transformed into the coldest iceberg from Antartica.
“I want the entire footage of that road, including the time before our car had stopped at that entrance.” He barked at Joel who was trying to minimize his presence as much as possible.
When was the last time his boss had been this angry? When he had first climbed the throne his father left for him, and many were rebelling against it. It was then when he had wrecked havoc in the entire underworld. People would still shudder when remembering those gruesome scenes that would be hunting them as nightmares for the rest of there life. Who would dare to question his position after those endless blood spilling?
But right at this moment, that very person was fussing over an accident which to him looked pretty normal. But he didn’t dare to speak this out loud.
“And why the hell is she still asleep? Bring that damn doctor right now or else i am shutting this fucking hospital forever” He shouted at Joel for the Nth time within past 1 hour.
“Who gave you the permission to shout at the top of your voice in hospital” a weak and raspy voice said.
Both the men turned towards Kizy who was struggling a little to get up from the bed.
“Don’t you dare get up or i will kill you right now” Markus said and turned towards Joel.
“Go bring those quacks and ask them to verify if her condition is normal”
“But boss the doctor said that lady boss fainted from fright. There is nothing wrong with her body. In fact if not for you, this IV drip will-” Joel suddenly stopped mid sentence after watching feeling that murderous aura. He immediately dashed out of the ward wishing that for another four pairs of leg to run faster.
On the bed, Kizy sat up and watched this entire scenario.
“You really like courting death right little lamb?” Markus asked.
“No Markus, i cherish my life more than anything.” Kizy replied.
“That was why you stood with your eyes closed before that damn speeding car? Any sane person would try to dodge it with all he can, but you instead stood there motionlessly, closing your eyes to welcome an accident. And yet you have the guts to say you cherish that stupid worthless life of yours?” by the end he was almost shouting at her again.
“Why do you care Markus? I don’t think anyone would have been happier knowing that i am dead than you would be. And i am getting up as i want to see him” Kizy finished.
Markus knew that by him, she meant Jack.
“Lets wait for the doctor to check you first” Markus said finally.
And thanfully the doctor arrived right on cue and removed her needle before announcing that she had no problem other than being a little malnourished and she could leave the hospital if she wanted.
“I can take you there but right now he is undergoing a surgery. So rest till we recieve any news about his surgery and then we can go” Markus said.
“No i want to wait in front of the operation room. I want to see him as soon as he is out because all this was my mistake. I was entangled in my emotions and i stood there stupidly. So the person udergoing surgery should have been me. So the least i can do is wait for him” Kizy said firmly.
Markus knew that this woman would never listen to him no matter what he said. Thus he simply nodded before supporting her a little and went with her towards the operation room. They waited for another half an hour before the doors to the room opened and Jack was being wheeled out.
