"To pick up those glass shards." Kizy answered, her voice lowered, like a child who was being scolded by their parents.
"Are you crazy? We have people to pick that up. I didn't marry you to make you work for this." Markus said, not believing Kizy was going back to clean the mess.
"Yes but those people are humans as well. And why make them work when I can do it with my hands? Also if you didn't marry me to make me work, then did you marry me to make me leave the bedroom without any prior notice?" Kizy asked.
"Kizy, I told you that I can't announce our marriage to the world." Markus said, done wrapping the bandage.
"I don't want you to announce our marriage, Markus. I understand the risks. But what I can't tolerate is some random woman coming to my house, making me leave my room and stay in the last room, while she gets to live in a room closer to you instead of going to the guest room!" Kizy said.
"Are you jealous, little lamb?" Markus asked with a smirk, as if he was sure about what Kizy felt, when he couldn't even understand his own feelings.
"Me and jealous? That too over you? Are you watching a lot of Romance genre Markus?" Kizy asked dramatically.
"No. But you sounded like a jealous wife." Markus said, his devilish smirk still pasted on his face.
"Yeah. In your dreams. Anyways, are you done? You are so slow at tending to injuries!" Kizy said, not paying any attention to Markus.
"I was slow because I didn't want to console a crying wife now!" Markus said.
"As if I care about such small injuries." Kizy said nonchalantly.
"Yeah. Your shout after getting pierced wasn't small though!" Markus said.
"Because that was sudden." Kizy said, rolling her eyes.
"Stop that." Markus said.
"What?" Kizy asked confusedly.
"Rolling your eyes. I don't like that." Markus said.
"I will do whatever I want. You are no one to question me. Did you forget my statement this soon?" Kizy asked, raising one brow.
"No. Do as you want. Who cares." Markus said, removing Kizy's leg from his lap.
He picked her up.
"I can walk by myself." Kizy said, not wanting to be carried by a certain someone.
"I know." Markus said, ignoring her.
He climbed the stairs, opened the door to the last room and placed her on the bed. He turned to leave the room when he saw the table placed near the door, which he guessed was to keep the door close securely.
He immediately turned towards Kizy before speaking.
"You thought this could stop me?" Markus asked.
"Yeah." Kizy said.
"You truly underestimate me a lot." Markus said, smirking again.
"Don't enter like a thief then." Kizy said.
"I will enter whenever I want." Msrkus said.
"Then let me punish you." Kizy said, crossing her arms.
"Fine!! Do as you want!! Anyways I never care about you." Markus shouted and left the room.
But he soon realised how wrong his decision was, and would regret his choice.
The next few days were peaceful superficially, but both Kizy and Markus were frustrated to no end.
Nicole would try to stick with Markus, kept on clinging to him, and mocking Kizy in between.
Though Kizy tried to act nonchalant, deep down she would remember everything, and take it out on Markus. She had already stopped talking to Markus, and only talked formally, speaking only when questioned or for professional tasks.
And Markus was getting annoyed by handling both Nicole and Kizy. Nicole won't allow him to disclose the truth, while Kizy would give him silent treatment all the time.
*ONE DAY LEFT FOR KIZY's BIRTHDAY, MARKUS's HOME*
As usual, Kizy and Markus got ready and climbed down the stairs to have their breakfast before going to the office.
Nicole had been trying to irk both Kizy and Markus to no avail. The couple would only fight between them, but her plan to let them realise their feelings was going to be a total failure.
Thus, today she decided to take her plan to the last stage and give it her all.
She was sitting on the sofa, reading the newspaper leisurely, while having juice.
"Good morning, Markus!!" She greeted him excitedly.
"Morning." Markus replied monotonously.
Both Kizy and Markus sat at the breakfast table.
Everyday, Markus would sit at the head seat while Kizy on his right side. And Nicole would take the seat on his left.
But today Nicole went and did something unexpected.
"Get up." She said to Kizy.
"Huhh?" Kizy asked, raising her brow.
"This is my seat." Nicole said.
"Wasn't that your seat for the past FEW DAYS?" Kizy said, emphasising on the last words to let Nicole realise that she was living at their house for a long time and should leave now.
"But sweethearts are the one who are meant to sit on the right hand side. You are just a fiance who would be tossed sooner or later. Why occupy my seat?" Nicole said.
"Nicole-" Markus tried to interrupt, knowing that his wife was not the one to give up on her things easily.
He had already suffered for making her leave the bedroom. If Kizy was made to leave her chair, he didn't know what else she would do.
"Markus, won't you even let me have a seat for myself?" Nicole asked with a pout.
"I am done. You two enjoy your breakfast." Kizy said while standing up, when she hadn't even had a bite of her food yet.
"Kizy, eat first." Markus said, his voice leaving no room for excuses.
"Let your sweetheart eat on her rightfully owned chair. I am just a fiance who will have to leave sooner or later. Why do you care?" Kizy said, picking up her bag and mobile.
"Markus, why don't you fire her? She has such a bad temper! It would definitely affect your work and clients." Nicole said, going a step ahead.
Kizy just turned to look at Nicole with wide eyes. She just couldn't believe how shameless Nicole was trying to be.
She then turned towards Markus to see what he had to say. But Markus was quiet, as Nicole had kicked his feet below the dining table, asking him to shut up.
Finally Kizy couldn't take it anymore.
"No need to fire me Mr. Markus. I am resigning. Have this good natured, mild tempered sweetheart of yours as your PA." Kizy said and forcefully threw her bag on the floor before going back to her room.
"Are you crazy? You are going overboard Nicole!!" Markus exclaimed as soon as Kizy was out of their sight.
"Markus, you just need to confess that you have feelings for her and this drama will end. This is happening because you are being dishonest to yourself and Kizy." Nicole said sincerely.
Markus sat there silently, not knowing what to do. Even he had felt last night that there was something more between him and Kizy. Something which always made him lose his control and go crazy for her.
Her body, her eyes, her rosy lips, her silky locks, her moans.. all of them had a magical effect on his body.
And somewhere he knew that something was changing between him and Kizy. Though the amount of debates and conflicts they had were the same, they never stopped going after each other for even a minute, he had somehow started caring for her.
He would think about things like whether doing something would make Kizy angry, or will it hurt her in some way or other. He would always have people following her, not just for her safety but because he was truly concerned.
"Fine. But I'll give you only one chance. If you are not able to prove anything, you will end this drama right then and there. Is that okay?" Markus said.
"Okay." Nicole said.
"By the way I lost my PA because of you. Who is going to help me today?" Markus said, remembering Kizy had resigned.
"That's your problem." Nicole said with a shrug.
"You… just wait. I will definitely make you regret all of your actions soon." Markus said and had his breakfast.
"After half an hour, go and ask your young miss whether she wants to eat anything. Or maybe just bring one sandwich and glass of juice with you and give it to her." Markus ordered the butler and left for his office.
Now Nicole was racking her brains for the entire morning, trying to come up with a full proof plan to let this dumb couple admit there feelings.
It took her three hours to come up with a good plan, but just as she was about to start the plan, she saw Kizy coming out of her room.
Kizy was wearing a red hot dress, ending just above her knees, showing her collarbones and bare white shoulders. She had left her hairs untied, giving her a captivating vibe. One look, and no man would be able to ignore her charm.
Kizy just looked at Nicole once, and went out of the house, her high heels attracting attention.
Nicole immediately called Markus.
"I don't think I will have to do anything now. Kizy went out on her own." Nicole said through the call.
