Capítulo 37: 37. Who are you?
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.

Capítulo 38: 38. Thick skinned
"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 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 damn 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.
On the other hand Kizy, Mary and grandma were returning back to main hall after having a long walk. The group of ladies talked about there likes and dislikes, there views ranging from topics like shopping and handling home to complicated business matters.
Kizy liked how both mom and grandma were the type of independent females that she liked. They had there own opinions and had strong personalities. Kizy sincerely liked both these ladies from the bottom of her heart.
"Lets finish with our lunch quickly. We still have meeting at office." Markus said, succesfully attracting attention of all three women.
"Whats there to hurry? Stay for some more time." Mary said.
"No let him go. He has already postponed the meeting once, it won't look good if he would repeat that twice." Grandpa said while coming out from his study.
"Yes father." Mary said.
The family of five had a warm lunch, something that Kizy had never expected. She always thought that filthy rich people like them won't have a proper familial bond.
But in this house, all that she could witness was love and care for each other. All of them tried to spend time together as much time as possible.
"Kizy, do visit us whenever you are free. Anyways me and Mary have ample amount of time on our hands." Grandma said while walking them out till the car.
"Yes Grandma I will." Kizy said politely.
"Grandpa please take care of your health, winters are arriving." Kizy spoke while looking at grandpa.
"Buy me some warm clothes then." Grandpa replied in a childish way.
"Ok I will bring them next time." Kizy said and turned towards Mary.
"Mom though I am not that knowledgeable, but if you ever need me for business, please let me know." Kizy said with a smile.
Mary simply smiled and nodded.
Markus just said a monotonous 'goodbye' to all of them before leaving with Kizy.
"You never told me that Mom has her independent business. She is the mysterious CEO behind 'Purple'!! And look at me, I bought her a dress from her own shop. I felt so embarassed after knowing how stupid I was. How would mom feel about this?" Kizy complained Markus.
'Purple' was a high end luxury clothing brand for past decade. The brand had entered in international market three years ago, claiming the title of most expensive brand in country.
Just that Kizy was ignorant about the expensive part of this brand, thus buying there latest peice at such price.
"She would know that you were unaware of this thing. What's there to be embarassed in it? And how come a thick skinned person like you know what embarassement is?" Markus said.
"You... fine... I will definitely show you what being thick-skinned is. Hmmph!" with that Kizy turned, facing the window ignoring Markus.
Soon they reached the company. As usual Kizy and Markus climbed inside elevator number 1 and Kizy pressed for there office floor. But unknown to Markus, she also pressed for floor 1, where all the employees worked.
'Now you will know the consequences of bullying me.' Kizy thought to herself. Just as the elevator was about to reach 1st floor, Kizy pulled Markus before saying...
