Chapter 70 - 70. I Trust Her
“Kizy, I know how powerful you are, though I don’t know your background or identity, I trust you. You said you were spying on someone that day. That’s exactly what you have to do.” Markus said.
“But why will he trust me?” Kizy asked.
“I have already planned everything about that.” Markus said to Kizy before turning towards his family members.
“I need to have some personal chat with her. Can I use your study?” Markus asked grandpa.
Grandpa only hummed in response.
Markus and Kizy then went inside the study while Mary and the elder couple looked at each other.
“Is this correct? Forgive me for questioning you father, but is it appropriate to send Kizy to him?” Mary asked.
“I trust her skills, plus she already takes us as our family. That was the reason she risked her life to search about Markus’s enemy and your husband’s culprit.Â
If she thinks of us as a family, shouldn’t we do that? It’s only right to include her in everything, giving her access and rights to our family issues, no matter how big or small. And most importantly, I trust her.” Grandpa said.
“As you seem appropriate.” Mary said.
Inside the study, Markus and Kizy sat next to each other.
“I am sorry.” Markus said once again.
“It’s ok.” Kizy replied.
“You don’t have anything more to say?” Markus asked seriously.
“What more?” Kizy asked confusedly.
“Something like ‘No I am sorry, I shouldn’t have slapped you twice. I should have understood your plan. Sorry for being a fool and idiotically slapping you twice’. Shouldn’t you apologize like that?” Markus said dramatically.
“You deserve that.” Kizy said nonchalantly.
“Awww, my poor heart. Please don’t say such things, I have a sensitive personality.” Markus said with a fake sad expression.
“I am good, you don’t have to make me smile or laugh, and you don’t have to feel guilty as well. You can just directly get to the point Markus.” Kizy said gently.
She knew Markus usually never cracked jokes or tried to lighten the environment. He never cared about others. But this time he was genuinely feeling guilty, and was trying hard to make sure that Kizy was fine.
“I am sorry, I never knew you would cry this much for me.” Markus said.
“That’s fine. I didn’t even know why I was being such a crybaby and felt so betrayed.” Kizy confessed.
“Does that mean you love me wifey?” Markus said cockily.
“I never had such bad taste. Anyways, explain the plan.” Kizy said.
“Ok so once you leave this mansion, try to look as cold and heartbroken as you were looking last night.
I will tell you about the hotel, go there and book yourself a room. After that delete all the posts about me from your social media account.
That man will approach you soon. At that time reject him coldly for the first few encounters. But I am sure that he’ll keep trying. Whenever you see that the timing is correct, accept him.” Markus said.
“Still I don’t feel he would trust me.” Kizy said. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“Off course he won’t. I am sure that he would suspect you even more after you accept him. But he will definitely present you with opportunities to prove yourself.” Markus said.
“But I don’t even know what he’ll ask me to do.” Kizy said.
“Look Kizy, once you leave this mansion, all your choices will be taken by you solely. You won’t be able to contact anyone out of us, as he would be watching both of us closely.Â
Thus trust yourself and act accordingly. None of us would be there to guide or advise you, but everything that happens afterwards depends on you.” Markus said.
“But Markus this is too risky. Not for me but for all of you. And have you thought about what if the plan fails or how we are supposed to retreat?” Kizy asked.
“Kizy, there’s one thing you should remember forever. I have never planned a retreat or thought about failure. Whenever I set my goal, I only move forward, though I may slow down, pause for sometime, but I only know how to move ahead.” Markus said.
Kizy only nodded at his statements, making sure to memorize every single word.
“But there is one important thing that I forgot to mention. And this is the most important thing above all.” Markus said with all seriousness.
“What is it?” Kizy asked.
“The moment you feel that you are in danger, or something grave might happen, I want you to call me and escape. I don’t give a shit about this plan then. I just want you to remain protected. Your safety is first priority in this entire plan.” Markus said sincerely.
“I’ll keep that in mind.” Kizy said.
“I want you to promise me that you’ll remain safe. I don’t want to see another incident where you risked your life to find his identity. So promise me that you will take care of yourself and drop the plan the moment you are in danger.” Markus said.
Kizy paused for a moment before saying two words slowly.
“I promise.”
“Ok, time for you to leave, it’s been more than forty minutes. Any longer and he might suspect us.” Markus said.
“Ok bye.” Kizy said before getting up.
“Go to Gazebo Hotel and book yourself a room after exiting. And this is your phone. Also your monthly payment has already been made to your account, so you will be able to pay for yourself for at least the next three months.” Markus said while handing the phone back to Kizy.
“Hmmm.” Kizy replied and turned to leave.
“Kizy-” Markus called out from behind.
Kizy turned back to look at him questioningly, but Markus simply stared at her face, as if trying to memorize every inch of her face.
After a moment, he closed the distance between two of them and supported Kizy’s nape with one hand, his thumb stroking her cheek while his other hand encircled her waist.
He slowly bent down and kissed Kizy. But this kiss was more gentle and dream like, as if Markus was treating Kizy as his most precious treasure.
Kizy felt that Markus was acting a little weird today. She could see different emotions on his always stoic and cold godly handsome face.
His kiss, though soft and gentle, felt as if he was trying to convey his feelings, the feelings he was not able to express through words.
Markus kissed her for a few seconds and broke the kiss and looked at her, as if wanting to say something, but not knowing how to say it. Finally he only spoke…
“Take care of yourself.” And hugged her gently.
The couple looked like a beautiful serene painting, wishing that the time would stop and this peaceful moment would last for eternity.
