Chapter 124 - 124. Southern Mountain Range
“What!!!” Is she crazy?” Markus shouted.
‘You are the one who has married this crazy person. Why shout at me. My poor heart can’t bear this anymore.’ Joel thought, almost on the verge of crying.
“Joel, you keep driving and let me know as soon as you have found her.” Markus said and hung up the call.
He then searched for another number on his phone and called it.
“What made you call me?” A voice was heard from the other side.
“A drone.” Markus said.
“What?” The man asked in a confused voice.
“I said I need your drone!” Markus shouted through the phone.
“Okay okay calm down. What do you want to see?” The man asked.
“Southern mountain range.” Markus answered.
“What do you want to see there?” The man asked, still confused.
“Just do as I say. I want to see the live video along with sound within three minutes.” Markus said and ended the call, connecting headphones to his laptop.
“Bro, chill down. If she had crossed the speed limits, she would surely know how to drive!!” Nicole said, trying to calm Markus.
“Either you shut your mouth or I will kick you out of the room. Do you even know how dangerous the Southern mountain range is? People have died from the cliffs there. And this stupid woman is racing her bike through the same route!!” Markus exclaimed, making Nicole shut her mouth.
After exactly three minutes, the video of the southern mountain range was visible on his laptop. The drone started roaming around the mountain, capturing it from all the sides.
Finally after a minute or so, a black bike speeding through the route was seen.
“Keep shooting the bike.” Markus said through his headphones and the man followed.
And the next minute, Markus felt as if he was about to go crazy from Kizy’s stunts.
There was a turn present in front of Kizy, but instead of slowing down, she increased her speed, making a sharp turn near the edge and speeding ahead.
*SOUTHERN MOUNTAIN RANGE*
Kizy was feeling this excitement after a long time. Racing through the winds, challenging her death time and time again, and getting high on adrenaline – these were the things Kizy rode a bike for.
She only had one thought in mind.
‘Faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death!!’
Thus she was speeding past through the routes. Especially the sharp turns felt like challengers, challenging her skills, her will to live.
This was the reason why she had decided to ride through the southern mountains. Surrounded by the lush green trees, breathing the fresh soil scent, feeling the wind passing by, riding under the blue sky.
All of them made her feel alive, made her forget all her problems, made her have a breather in the continuously hectic life.
Therefore, once she saw the next turn, a satisfying smile could be seen on her face. She increased her speed, and went ahead, making a sharp turn.
*OLD FACTORY, C CITY*
“Why is Diamond riding a bike?” Jason said while entering Rose’s room.
“I don’t know.” Rose said truthfully.
“But I heard that it was Rio who gave her the bike.” Jason said.
“Yeah.” Rose replied.
“Then why is she racing on the mountain roads? You know that she never rides a bike unless she needs a break. Whenever she is down and left with no way out, she opts for racing. Shouldn’t you have asked why she wanted to ride?” Jason said, reprimanding Rose.
Rose wanted to speak something, but stopped herself at the last minute.
“I am sorry.” Rose said and went back to her work.
“Do ask why she is upset once she is back.” Jason said.
“Yeah.” Rose replied monotonously.
“Why this tone?” Jason asked, noticing the change in Rose’s voice.
“Leave it. Anyways you won’t understand.” Rose said before inserting her headphones, ignoring Jason.
Jasin looked at Rose for another minute, before leaving her room.
‘Will there ever be a day when you’ll understand?’ Rose thought sadly, turning back to look at the empty space where Jason was standing moments ago.
*MARKUS’s ROOM*
“I am going. Inform me if anything happens.” Markus said and directly ran out of the house, entering his Bugatti before speeding away.
“You not only love her, but instead are head over heels for her.” Nicole said, shaking her head while looking back at the laptop screen where Kizy could still be seen racing away.
Markus sped all the way beyond the Southern mountain range, reaching the end point of this adventurous route.
Driving his Bugatti, Markus started speeding from the opposite direction, crossing the limit of 400kmph!! ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
He was still racing when he received a call. He pressed the bluetooth, accepting it, which turned out to be a call from Nicole.
“Bro, another car is speeding towards Kizy. They will collide soon!!” Nicole exclaimed through the car.
“Can you tell how long it will take for them to collide?” Markus asked.
“I think hardly twenty seconds. Plus there is a turning in front of them. I fear that both of them won’t slow down. The car is.. wait.. isn’t this your car!!” Suddenly Nicole shouted.
“Yes that’s me. I can see a sharp turn right in front of my eyes. Is this the one you were talking about?” Markus asked.
“Yeah. But why are you there? How did you get there so fast!! And why are you colliding with your wife? Do you want to kill her?” Nicole said.
But Markus simply ignored her, no more wanting any disturbances in between.
He sped up even more, racing towards the turn.
While on the other hand, Kizy was still enjoying her ride. Knowing that the route will end soon, she started speeding up even more, unknown to the calamity that was about to fall upon her.
“Bro, she has increased her speed!!” Nicole shouted through the bluetooth.
Markus thought for a second before reaching the maximum speed of the car, and reaching the turn three seconds earlier than Kizy.
He made a sharp turn, and stopped his car with a screech in front of Kizy, who was speeding towards the turn.
Kizy, who was still chilled out, saw the car and pressed the brakes urgently, making a sudden stop, while the backwheel of her bike was lifted in the air.
The sound made all the birds present on the tree above fly away, chirping while leaving the place.
She managed to stop the bike right in front of Markus’s car, just inches away from colliding into it.
“Are you craz-” Kizy was speaking but Markus directly came out of the car, slamming the door hard, making Kizy pause in between.
“Why are you here?” Kizy asked, shocked at his sudden appearance.
“I can ask the same thing.” Markus said, his voice dropped by an octave, making the entire place freeze.
Kizy was about to reply when she remembered how she had to leave her bedroom because of Markus’s friend.
“None of your business.” Kizy said, removing her helmet.
“Get inside the car.” Markus said, his voice still cold.
“I am not coming.” Kizy said, making a U-turn with the bike.
“Kizy, don’t test my patience!” Markus said, his pitch higher than before.
“I never asked you to come here.” Kizy said, starting the bike.
“Kizy, you’ll regr-” Markus was still speaking when Kizy waved at him and accelerated away.
“Pray that I’ll never catch up with you.” Markus said coldly behind her before going back to his car.
On the other hand, Kizy was returning through the same route she had come.
‘Who the hell does he think he is? I was so happy just moments ago, but his face ruined it all. Such a mood killer!! And who told him to come here? First you kick me out of the room and now you come following me this long.’ Kizy thought with a pout, accelerating even more.
Thankfully Markus didn’t follow her and by night she was able to return Blackie to Rio without any problem.
She took a cab back home and entered silently, knowing all the servants and maids would be sleeping.
She quietly locked the door behind her and went to the dining room, remembering she had asked the Old chef to leave a glass of milk for her.
Unfortunately the glass wasn’t there. Thus she planned to skip the milk and go to sleep directly.
With this thought, she started climbing up the stairs when suddenly a voice was heard from behind.
“Do you intend to waste this glass of milk?” Markus asked, suddenly turning the hall lights on, making Kizy close her eyes at the sudden brightness.
After a moment, she removed her hand which was covering her eyes, adjusting herself to the room brightness, and saw Markus, sitting leisurely on the sofa, looking dishevelled in his night robe, holding a glass of milk.
“I thought that Old chef forgot to keep it for me.” Kizy said honestly before climbing down the stairs, going towards Markus.
She extended her hand, asking him to pass the glass.
“It isn’t warm anymore.” Markus said, not passing the glass.
“It’s ok. I can drink it.” Kizy said weirdly.
She could feel that Markus seems different tonight, but she just couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong with him.
Markus ignored her and got up, heading towards the kitchen. He started the stove and transferred milk from glass to another vessel, boiling the milk.
Kizy just stood behind, not knowing what she was supposed to do.
Once Markus was done, he poured the boiling hot milk back to the glass and passed it to Kizy, before speaking.
“Make sure you won’t spill that.”
