EPISODE 72
“Anything else? You’d better close your mouth or do you want to catch some flies?” Kizy asked, while walking near Markus before placing her hand below his chin and closing it.
Finally Markus came out of his trance, before clearing his throat.
“Yeah, your ugliness is blinding my eyes!!” Markus said, unable to believe that his wife could make him stunned by her looks even after living with him 24×7 and getting used to her face for the past one year!
“Yeah and that made you awestruck.” Kizy said nonchalantly, while internally she was no less amazed at Markus’s look.
Markus, wearing a full black outfit, including his shirt, pants, blazer as well as tie, looked even more godly.
His hair was gelled, while black colour made him look even more of a cold CEO, an image which could make females salivate over and over.
“Wh@ťěver! We need to leave now.” Markus said, taking a deep breath while trying to control his rapidly beating heart.
“Okay!” Kizy said, turning back towards the man and woman who helped her for her look.
“Thank you so much for your efforts.” Kizy said with a sincere smile.
“You are flattering us, Young Madam. Call us whenever you need our help. We will be more than happy to work on such a pretty face.” The man replied, but in less than a moment, he could feel a shiver down his spine, making him aware of the calamity he was landing himself into.
He instantly looked at Markus before complimenting him in a shaky voice.
“Young.. Young Master, you look way t… too handsome. Perfect match for Young madam. You both look like a match made in heaven!!” He instantly spoke, feeling the pressure diminish a lot.
“Hmmm.” Markus replied while Kizy giggled at his childish antiques.
“Let’s go.” She said while hooking her arm and dragging Markus ahead, trying to save the poor make up artist.
Markus glared at the man one last time, before happily getting dragged by his wife, loving the way she had hooked her arm within his.
*1 PM, CONFERENCE VENUE*
For the first time, a conference of this grand scale was being held by Evans family. Not only the reporters, but even the common citizens were allowed to attend this conference, making the conference venue filled till boundaries, yet there were people arriving, happily standing at the gates, near walls, just to catch a glimpse of their power couple.
They were already excited after watching Markus’s proposal last night, which made them curious to know why this grand conference was held.
Everything had been fine till 10 AM in the morning. But suddenly a announcement was released by ‘Stardust’ regarding this sudden conference which was open for the commoners as well.
And the saviour image that this power duo had formed in front of commoners made ut unable for people to ignore this announcement. Hence resulting in a huge overflowing crowd.
Fortunately Markus and grandpa had arranged for enough men to control the crowd. Thorough checking was taking place to ensure top level security, but the people didn’t mind it even in the least.
Finally after five minutes, Markus and Kizy came on stage, hooking hands, now way more comfortable to be around each other in the presence of such a huge crowd.
“Power couple!!”
“MarKiz!!”
“One minute of silence for those who were not able to attend today’s conference!”
“Can’t take my eyes off Markus!! My male god is looking so d@mn handsome.”
“You mean Kizy’s Markus right.”
“Ahhh!! I am a straight girl, but Kizy’s beauty is making my nose bleed.”
“Gosh her figure!”
“How can two people look so good at the same time, but not overshadow each other’s presence!!”
“This is called made for each other!”
The audience immediately started showering the power couple with all praises, happy to see them after such a long time. And why won’t they be, Markus and Kizy looked so compatible together, one being an ice queen wrapped in black wings while another being the cold male god, making their hearts flutter in all black.
“Good afternoon everyone.” Markus started speaking directly without any further do, after taking their seats.
Markus and Kizy were sitting behind a table, while Joel as well as few of Markus’s men along with Jack and Alex were standing near the stage.
And the crowd instantly went silent, not wanting to miss out on any word or even a sound by Markus and Kizy.
“Most of you have already seen my proposal last night I guess. My secretary was fussing over this issue in morning.” Markus paused and laughed a little, making the audience laugh as well, while Joel, who was standing at the corner of the stage, just looked down, not knowing why his boss would expose his fussy side in between.
“He had accidentally turned the phone silent, and thus wasn’t able to control the spread of news. And he was way too worried in the morning. I told him that not only did I want you all to know this, but I wanted to surprise you all with another great news.” Markus said, taking a deep breath.
Kizy, who was sitting beside Markus, looked at him expectantly, eager to know what surprise Markus had for her as well as the audience.
“You all know that I have been with Kizy for a year now. We have been through a literal roller coaster during this whole time.
She first came into exposure as an employee of ‘Stardust’. Then I explained that she was my friend. Soon we were in a relationship. We even did an undercover mission where she was away from me to catch the culprit which you all know about. In fact people had cursed me for cheating on such a good natured woman.” Markus said and laughed a little.
Even Kizy laughed at this, remembering how badly people were cursing Markus and consoling her, saying she would definitely find someone better.
For a moment she was reminded of a face, a face that instantly made her eyes watery, remembering the cruelty that face had to go through.
But fortunately Markus started speaking again, making her come out of her thoughts.
“And I have been grateful for the moments that I got to spend along with Kizy, cause she changed me into a different person, without even me knowing about it.
She taught me that relationships are not business deals, we need to pour out our emotions for them to work. She taught me that even employees are humans and I should care for them. She taught me that family should always be my first priority. She has taught me a lot of things and the list will continue getting longer after this.
But the most important thing that she has taught me is Love. It’s because of her that I know what loving a person is like, how it feels to care about someone even in minor issues, or how love has no boundaries.” Markus said, while Kizy felt warm inside her heart, a weird sensation coursing through her veins.
“But.. there is one thing that I have hidden from you all.” Markus said and immediately the crowd was confusedly looking at Markus.
They were all ears to know what had their male god hidden from them. And especially what had that thing got to do with all his talk about Kizy and their love.
“Kizy, is not only my friend, she is not my fiance as well but my legal-” Markus was still speaking when suddenly Kizy was alerted, putting her hand over his, instantly trying to stop him from speaking any further.
She now knew what Markus meant by the surprise. He had been intending to disclose their marriage on the occasion of their anniversary, but Kizy wasn’t happy about it.
She knew the kind of risks they would be inviting after this announcement. Neither did she, nor Markus had less enemies. Plus both of them were out here while their enemies were in the dark, paying attention to every single move made by them.
Hence she didn’t want any more misfortune just to publicise their relationship. She had no complaints even if she had to stay as his fiance in public for a few more years.
Plus the thing she feared the most was professor. She couldn’t even imagine about how carzy the professor could go if they were to reveal their relationship.
“Trust me.” Markus said in a low voice which was audible to only Kizy.
He kept his other hand on Kizy’s hand, as if reassuring her, that he was doing something for them, and he won’t let anything bad happen.
And somehow his voice, his soothening touch calmed Kizy down, making her nod her head.
But by this time, the audience had gone insane about his half incomplete statement saying that ‘Kizy wasn’t his fiance’.
“So Kizy ain’t my fiancee. She is my legal Wife.” Markus said, without waiting for the crowd to calm down.
But the moment he finished his sentence, another round of outburst was seen from the audience, not expecting such a twist in the story.
“What is Markus saying?”
“Is he calling her wifey in a lovey dovey way?”
“I guess my ears stopped working!”
“Wow!! Finally some good news!!”
“That means my goddess is already married!”
“I always felt they were more than fiance.”
“Are we $h00ting some drama?”
“I can’t believe my eyes!!”
“And I can’t believe my ears!”
People were already shocked by one direct statement by Markus.
“Will you all please listen to the entire thing once?” Markus said which was followed by pin drop silence.
“So we have been married for a year already. Today, on the occasion of our first marriage anniversary, we thought that it was better to share our happy moments with you all.
We initially didn’t want to hide all this from you. But my profession, running such a huge business comes with no less risk. I didn’t want unwanted trouble for Kizy. Thus I kept this news a secret till I became strong enough to protect her whatsoever.
So here we are, finally revealing our secret marriage!” Markus said.
Kizy who was sitting on the side nodded at him, before taking the mic.
“Also, you all are no less than a family to us. So hope you all will have a bigger heart to forgive us. And thank you for joining us on our special day today. We are glad to have such a family supporting us all the time.” Kizy said, making the crowd feel much closer to the couple and not just some idol power couple.
The crowd started clapping instantly. Markus and Kizy then answered a few questions asked by the reporters, making everyone leave with a lot of thoughts, enough to discuss for the entire week. Especially the reporters who were dying to return back to their offices after making Markus and Kizy pose in their couple outfits to print several columns in their newspapers and websites.
*UNKNOWN PALACE, IMPERIAL NATION*
A man was seen running through the red corridors, completely out of his breath.
He entered the main hall before instantly kneeling down, careful enough to not make even a slight noise of his rapid breath.
A man was seen sitting leisurely on a throne present in the centre, admiring a bright red colour in a beautiful crystal glass, swirling it in between while light vapours were seen coming out of the glass.
“Speak.” He said in a low voice, while paying no attention to the man kneeling in front of him.
“Professor… Madam.. Madam Hazel is..” The man said, stuttering while speaking.
“Just speak wh@ťěver it is. You don’t have to be afraid of me.” The professor said in a very calm voice, but it only heightened the sense of danger within the man.
“Madam Hazel is… marr… married.” The man replied, not daring to even raise his head.
“Huhhh.” The Professor said, finally paying attention to the man while a smile could be seen gradually appearing on his face.
“Interesting. Hazel is getting braver day by day. But I love her boldness!” The professor said before slowly walking towards the kneeling man, making his heart beat irregularly, cold sweat covering his forehead.
“Thank you for bringing the great news!” Professor said, making the man look up to him in disbelief, but the next moment a loud shriek was heard.
