271 271. Pregnancy - An excuse
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. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
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.
