Chapter 130 - 130. She Is My Cousin
“I am sorry. This was my mistake. Nicole is not a random woman. She is my cousin.” Markus said, finally confessing the truth.
“Yeah, how can she be a random woman. I am the only random woman present in your life. She is your cousin. You both can do whatev-” Kizy was still speaking when she paused.
“She is your cousin?” Kizy asked, blinking her innocent tear filled eyes.
“Yes.” Markus said, nodding his head.
“Then.. why…” Kizy said, and started crying, no more able to control her emotions in her drunken state.
“Wait. Don’t cry. Why are you crying? I said I am sorry. You.. look.. I didn’t do it… purposefully… no I mean I did.. wait.. first stop crying.” Markus said, calming himself down and wiping Kizy’s tears trying to stabilize her first.
“Why did you… do.. do that?” Kizy said between her tears, crying even loudly by now.
“I am sorry. It was to test my feelings. My feelings for you.” Markus even confessed the reason guiltily.
“What fee.. feelings?” Kizy asked with her hoarse voice, her throat a little dry after drinking alcohol and then crying now.
“What I feel about you.” Markus said.
“You only.. only hate me… me.” Kizy said and started crying even more violently, her tears flowing nonstop.
“Hey hey.. don’t cry.. stop… I don’t hate you.. Kizy.. stop crying first.. I said I don’t hate you!!” Markus said, getting all flustered as he had been the first time Kizy cried.
“No you only… only hate me. That.. that is why… you are always.. always creating problems for.. me.” Kizy said, still crying.
“Then what do you feel about me?” Markus asked seriously, wanting to hear the truth.
And he knew that this was the best opportunity. Because Kizy was in a state between drunk and sober. When drunk, she would turn into a complete rogue, and when sober she would be cold and emotionless, not letting others know what she was feeling.
But right now Kizy was in her vulnerable state, opening up completely to let others see through her. And Markus knew that whatever she was saying now was the complete truth.
“I.. I feel that Markus is… good. He tries to act.. act violent and cold… but deep down he is.. caring… concerned. I.. I like him.” Kizy said, in between her sobs, not knowing that she had changed their lives from this one drunken moment.
And Markus felt happy. Though he had never tried to accept his feelings, one thing he was sure of was that he definitely didn’t hate Kizy.
Though he mentioned that all he was doing was for revenge, deep down he knew that there was something else, something more than what he could understand.
And hearing that Kizy liked him made him feel happy and confident, made him realise that he wasn’t the only one who was experiencing these feelings but Kizy was going through the same.
“I like you.” Markus said and kissed Kizy passionately, his body still immersed in water while Kizy was sitting on the edge.
Kizy didn’t register what he said but kissed him back with equal passion.
Markus wanted to enter Kizy’s mouth, feel her warmth, but suddenly he felt Kizy shiver a little, making him break the kiss.
And he noticed that Kizy was still drenched with water, her clothes completely wet while the cold air was making her shiver.
And one thing he had known from childhood was that Kizy was prone to cold.
He instantly came out of the pool, and before he could even carry her, Kizy sneezed.
Markus didn’t tarry another moment and immediately carried her back inside the house.
“Prepare a towel and bathrobe.” He instructed the head maid while walking in large strides towards the second floor, back to his bedroom. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
By the time Markus reached his floor, Kizy was sleepy again.
“Sleep little lamb.” He said gently, and placed her on the bed.
There was a knock on the door and the maid entered.
She placed the towel and bathrobe on the table and was about to go back, all the time with her head lowered.
“Wait!!” Markus said and she stopped in the track, her head still lowered.
“Yes Master.” She said.
“Please change her into a new set of clothes. Her clothes are drenched.” Markus said and left the bedroom, thinking of bathing in some different bathroom when Nicole came out of her room.
“Oh oh ohhh!! What’s with this body-exposing show?” She said, laughing loudly.
That’s when Markus realised that his buttons were still undone.
“Did you find Kizy?” Nicole said, trying to control her laughter.
“Yes.” Markus answered, buttoning the lower 3-4 buttons of his shirt.
“Should I go and say-” Nicole was still speaking when Markus interrupted.
“She is deep asleep. Don’t disturb her.” Markus said, immediately blocking her way.
“Okay okay. No need to get so protective. Your behaviour makes me think that you truly love and cherish her.” Nicole said.
“I like her. Do you have any problems?” Markus said.
“What!! Finally!! Finally you agree. How did this happen though?” Nicole asked with a stupefied expression.
“We both confessed that we like each other. I also told her that you are my cousin.” Markus said with a cocky face.
“So when are you giving me a treat?” Nicole asked excitedly.
“For what?” Markus said uninterestedly.
“Obviously for making both of you realise and confess your feelings.” Nicole said, crossing her arms.
“In your dreams.” Markus paused.
“In fact if not for you, my wife would have never been so angry at me, leaving me, my room, her job and creating trouble for me. So if there is something that you deserve, it is punishment. And you’ll receive that soon.” Markus said with a smirk.
“What?!!” Nicole asked, her jaw dropping.
“If I am not wrong, you will receive a call soon. Maybe about some blind date I guess.” Markus said and turned, thinking that the maid would be done with dressing Kizy.
