EPISODE 50
*THREE DAYS LATER, UNITY HOSPITAL, A CITY*
Markus was sitting beside Kizy’s bed, his face pale, while he was holding Kizy’s hand, between both of his palms, while Kizy was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.
His eyes were surrounded with dark circles, while his hairs were dishevelled, his face covered with stubble, as he sat there, looking lifelessly at Kizy’s face, which had regained a little color from the treatment of the past two days.
Three days ago, he came limping to the hospital with an unconscious Kizy in his arms.
He still remembers rejecting all the attempts that doctors and other medical staff along with his family and Jason’s team made, to get him treated.
But he sat there unmoving, looking at the closed doors of the operating door, praying to gods that he never believed existed.
Finally after four long hours of sitting there, with his wounds untreated, clothes completely drenched in blood, without moving even once, the doors to the operation theatre opened.
But lady luck was still not in his favour. Doctor had announced that she had fallen into a coma. Though they said that there were higher chances of Kizy recovering soon, as she was young and her injuries weren’t that severe, Markus felt his world falling apart.
Till now he had always felt that he was attracted to Kizy, maybe even liked her a little.
But when he saw her crying and struggling, going away from him, he felt like he couldn’t breathe anymore.
When Aaron had stabbed him in the wrong place purposefully, Markus had understood that he would be saved.
But he was even more shocked after finding that not only had Aaron not stabbed him in any fatal area, but even the blades were mildly poisoned, instead of the deadly poison Professor used.
That was the moment he knew that Aaron didn’t want any harm. Plus Aaron asking him to save Kizy confirmed his suspicion. And thus Markus knew that though Aaron was acting to take Kizy away, he would somehow destroy the professor’s plan.
But even after knowing all this, he felt as if someone was taking out a part of his heart, forcefully tearing it away from him.
Markus never knew that Kizy was so important to him, until the last moment, when he saw her being taken away, her face tear stained, her throat parched from crying his name, while she struggled to break free and come near him.
And that was the moment he understood that he couldn’t live without Kizy. He not only liked her, but had fallen for her through and through, and now he only wanted to wake her up and scream about how much he loved her!
Thus knowing that Kizy might not wake up soon, he decided to stay with her and not leave her side for even a second.
And since that day, he had been with her 24×7. The moment Kizy was wheeled inside this VIP room, Markus had entered with her, eating, sleeping, talking to her without going away.
Markus’s injuries were tended in the VIP ward itself. Though Jack had performed the first aid treatment while they were in Aaron’s base, Markus’s body was poisoned.
But he still sat beside Kizy, refusing to rest. He would occasionally take a small nap, but would wake up with a jerk, either dreaming that wretched day or fearing that someone might take Kizy away.
His own injuries were healing normally, which made him do all tasks for Kizy.
On the first day, all his family members including Mary, Nicole, even Nina and Joel stayed for the entire night at the hospital, accompanying the couple.
But the very next morning, Markus had forcefully sent all of them back home.
Since then he would take care of Kizy, which even included combing her hair and sponging her body.
Though they had already assigned two caretakers for Kizy, Markus insisted on doing all this for Kizy by himself.
Nicole, grandma and Mary would visit them every day, while managing ‘Stardust’ as well.
Due to the false rumours spread about Markus, ‘Stardust’ had taken a major loss. But grandpa understood that Kizy should be Markus’s first priority.
Thus from the second day itself, he had taken the control in his hands while grandpa helped him out like in the old days.
Even Nicole had joined the company, reducing Joel’s workload, while he would take out some time to spend with Nina.
Three days ago, Professor had almost succeeded in wrecking Markus’s life, kidnapping him and Kizy’s friend and family, destroying their business while planning to ki|| Markus and take Kizy away.
But thanks to Joel, his grandpa’s team, Nicole and Jason’s team, who had saved them from the crisis.
*THREE DAYS AGO, AN OLD WOODEN HOUSE, NEAR SOUTHERN MOUNTAIN RANGE*
Nina, who was kidnapped by two men while returning home, had been tied to a chair,her mouth covered with a tape while four men were guarding her.
She was still confused about this entire incident, when one of those black dressed men took out her cell phone and called Kizy, making her understand their motive.
But she just couldn’t understand why someone would target her best friend, who never did anything wrong to others. She knew how Kizy was cold to others and never interfered with other’s business.
Plus these men didn’t look simple at all.
But when she heard the last statement, where they mentioned ki||ing her, she was truly afraid.
Tears started flowing down her eyes while she was shivering visibly. But those men didn’t care.
Though Nina always behaved maturely, this was her first time witnessing a life death situation, that too for thr_@tening her friend to reach some base destination.
She was confused and scared at the sudden turn of events, but she was helpless against them, as she couldn’t even utter a word or even move slightly.
Those men didn’t say anything after coming here, making her fear them even more.
But suddenly a window broke and a man entered through those broken glasses, scaring the hell out of her.
But the next moment, she was enveloped into a warm hug while gunshots were heard from all sides.
Joel had broken through the glass window, landing exactly in front of Nina.
The men were about to $h00t him, when Markus’s men started $h00ting from outside, catching them off guard.
Joel took out his gun, loading it. He was about to $h00t, when suddenly Nina hugged him tight, her body shivering.
She had always been protected from the outside world by her mom and dad. Her dad worked at the hospital while her mom was a teacher.
Thus Nina never even bickered with other children, forget being the centre of a room where bullets were literally raining down upon her.
But Joel couldn’t stay in the same position, as they were being surrounded by professor’s men, his position not appropriate as he could be shot anytime.
Thus he took his hand, removing Nina’s grip from it, wishing to change their place.
But Nina held him even more tightly, hugging him completely.
“Please.. please don’t leave me.” She said in an almost sobbing voice, while her fingers were literally digging in Joel’s back.
Joel was a little confused over what he was supposed to do. But after a minute, he kept his hand on her back, rubbing it a little.
“I won’t go.” He tried to speak gently, and somehow it succeeded in calming Nina down.
But since they were in the middle of $h00ting, Joel didn’t want Nina to get hurt. So he quickly untied her hands and legs.
He was removing the ropes when he was shot in the back.
Nina was so shocked that felt her heart stop for a moment.
But luckily, Joel had come prepared, with him and all other men wearing bulletproof vests, saving him from any injury.
He quickly untied and dragged her out of the door, while his men kept $h00ting.
Though they weren’t as ski||ed as the professor’s men, they outnumbered them, making it easier for Joel to escape with Nina from the room.
He instantly pulled Nina out of the room, rushing towards the space where their cars were parked.
He opened the door of his car, and asked her to get inside.
“Don’t open the door at any cost. Stay here. I’ll be back in a minute.” Joel explained to her before pausing and rubbing her head and closing the door.
He looked at her one more time before rushing back into the house.
Nina, tried to calm herself down, while taking deep breaths, composing herself.
Meanwhile Joel joined his men, $h00ting continuously at the professor’s men, two of them dead in the process, while three men from Markus’s side were injured, one of them being severely injured.
With another shot, Joel managed to injure the third man in his leg, making him drop on the ground.
The fourth man, watching all this, ran towards the door, searching for a place to hide and $h00t.
But suddenly he saw Nina, who was sitting inside the car.
He went on the opposite side of the car, creating a perfect barrier between him and Joel and other men.
Joel was still confused about what the man wanted, but the next few minutes, he shot five times consecutively on the glass window of the car, the bulletproof window cracking slightly.
“Cover me!” Joel shouted, before running with his fastest speed towards the car, $h00ting the man in the process.
Markus’s men did as asked, continuously $h00ting towards the man so that he wouldn’t $h00t at Joel. Once Joel had reached the opposite side of the car, he bent, $h00ting the man in the ankle, making the man kneel down on the ground.
Joel immediately opened the car door from his side, entering inside, only to be hugged by Nina, who had once again started sobbing.
Markus’s men were about to $h00t the man near car, when suddenly the third man who was already shot in leg and abdomen came from behind, $h00ting Markus’s men in their back.
Thankfully they all were wearing bulletproof vests, leading to only a few members being injured.
Markus’s men instantly turned and started $h00ting the man, while half of them were $h00ting the one near car, not letting their guard down for the second time.
But the man was successfully hiding behind the car, making it hard for the men to directly $h00t him.
They were still $h00ting on both sides, when the fourth man stood up, $h00ting at the glass window within two consecutive shots, while the third shot was directly shot inside the car.
“BANG BANG BANG!!”
Markus’s men had managed to ki|| the third man, but suddenly they were shocked at this sudden turn of events.
Joel and Nina, both were present inside the car, and none of Markus’s men were able to see what actually happened or if anyone was injured inside the car.
But fortunately, Joel was fast enough.
Nina’s heart was still beating erratically, the sound of gunshots making her feel even more nervous.
The moment that fourth man had shot his third shot inside the car, Joel, who was hugging Nina, immediately bent, dodging the bullet, making sure that Nina wasn’t injured in the latest.
Simultaneously, he shot at the man, $h00ting him exactly between his eyebrows, ki||ing him in a single shot.
“Everything is all right now.” Joel whispered to Nina, who was still trembling and crying.
But Nina wasn’t stopping at all. She was still crying and shivering.
“You are safe now. Look around. Nobody is there to hurt you anymore.” Joel said, trying to be as gentle as he could, something he rarely did for Ruth.
And finally this worked on Nina, as she lifted her head from Joel’s chest, looking around, seeing that only Markus’s men could be seen outside.
“Tha… thank you.” Nina managed to say, before turning and facing Joel, but the next moment….
“Ahhhhh! Look at that!!” Nina shouted.
