Aaron was about to get up and push Markus away when about 5-6 policemen entered and held him from all sides.
"No she is mine!! Nobody can have her except me… only I love her truly-" Aaron started shouting, struggling to get free.
"Just wait a minute." Markus said and rubbed her head a little before climbing off the bed.
But suddenly all his gentle vibe was gone, and what remained was only a murderous aura.
Markus punched Aaron in the face, making his nose bleed. Aaron shaked his head a little, feeling dizzy from the powerful punch when Markus kicked him in the chest with all his might.
If not for the policemen holding him, Aaron wouldn't be standing anymore.
"First of all she belongs to no one.. She owns herself. And about your 'nobody can have her', it would be her decision, whether she wants to be with someone or not. Others don't have a say in that. She is the one who will choose." Markus said in an intimidating voice.
"Don't try to act like a hero, Satan!! You are no different than me." Aaron said through gritted teeth.
"No. I respect her decisions. I will never force myself upon her. There was only one time when I forced her to make an important decision in the beginning, but even then, it was more of a deal than simply pressurizing her." Markus said.
"Kizy, you still have a chance. Leave this over possessive man and come with me. I won't hold you accountable for any of the mistakes you made." Aaron ignored Markus and spoke to Kizy.
But this infuriated Markus, resulting in a direct kick on Aaron's chest, sound of bone breaking audible.
"What she did isn't a mistake. She-" Markus was speaking when Kizy interrupted.
"Even if you were to ask me to choose between you and Markus a hundred times, I would still choose him. Do you know the reason why?
Because he simply respects my thoughts and decisions. He understands that I have my own individual independent personality.
Though he might be overbearing, possessive, cold and dominant at times, he is always secretly caring about what I may think.
He always purchases me branded clothes and accessories, but never shows them off. He never thinks that giving me expensive gifts would make me happy. He knows I prefer emotions over materialism.
We have never shared a single drink, or ate in a single plate, but he knows my likes and dislikes, unlike you who forces me to share your meal and drinks, even the ones I don't like at all.
There are numerous reasons why it will always be him and not you Aaron. Is that enough?" Kizy, who had been sitting quietly on the bed, said in a low voice.
Aaron listened to all her thoughts and didn't speak. He just couldn't believe that all the love and care he was showing towards Kizy would be perceived in such a way.
He had gifted her dresses and other accessories to congratulate her on her first win.
While remembering that, he suddenly remembered.
"Mike Evans." He said slowly, with sudden realisation.
"Yes. He is alive and kicking." Markus said with a smirk.
Suddenly Aaron felt as if his soul left him. All this while he was thinking that he was winning in life, achieving his life goals by killing grandpa first and then Markus soon, having a godly beauty with a brain like Kizy forever by his side and being filthy rich.
But reality shattered his dream like world, being betrayed by Kizy while both grandpa and Markus were to live happily and all his money would be taken away by the police.
He looked shattered and lifeless, no more the sparkling yet calm Aaron who could capture others by his sapphire eyes.
Thus he didn't even know when police arrested him and how he was taken to the police station. Raymond and others were similarly arrested with him.
Markus instantly went back to the bed, where Kizy was sitting. Though she didn't say anything, he could feel that she was frightened.
He just sat on the bed and hugged her gently.
"Sorry for arriving late." He said in a low voice, knowing anything could have happened if he was to arrive a little late.
The scene where Kizy was struggling immensely while her hands were tied and Aaron was about to kiss her was continuously replaying in his mind on loop. He couldn't even imagine what he was going to do if he wouldn't have made it on time.
"Thank you for arriving on time." Kizy said softly, hugging Markus tightly.
"If not for me, you wouldn't have gone through all this." Markus said apologetically.
"Take me back home." Kizy said, only wanting to leave this terrible place as soon as possible.
Markus immediately asked Joel to arrange for Kizy and grandpa's men's flight tickets. And within half an hour, they were already sitting in the flight, returning back home.
Kizy, who had been traumatised from Aaron's behavior, kept quiet for the entire ride. She simply closed her eyes, not wanting to think about anything.
She was trying to sleep when Markus enveloped her in a hug, stroking her hairs to make her fall asleep easily. And soon Kizy drifted off to dreamland.
But Markus was wide awake. He couldn't make himself all peaceful as the scene between Kizy and Aaron was still playing in his head.
"Sorry." He whispered to sleeping Kizy once again.
*OLD FACTORY, C CITY*
"Rose, are you telling me or should I personally go and search for the information?" Jason said in a cold voice.
Rose, who had barely managed to stop him for the past ten minutes, was already covered in cold sweat.
It was just ten minutes ago when she came to know about what Aaron did to Kizy. She was so shocked that she unknowingly blurted out -
"How dare he do that to second sister? Even chopping him into a thousand pieces wouldn't be enough to avenge!!" She said in an exaggerated tone, but unfortunately this was the only part Jason heard.
"Who did what to Diamond?" He asked.
And First sister knew she had landed herself in great trouble.
"Nothing boss, just casual chat." She said awkwardly.
And since then she was trying to drop the topic, knowing how scary Jason becomes when it comes to Diamond.
"Last chance." Jason said, frustrated at Rose.
"No!!" She exclaimed.
Jason waited for a minute but Rose still didn't utter a single word and he walked past her, going on his own to find what happened.
"Aaron forced himself on the second sister!!" Rose unwillingly shouted from behind.
"What did you say?" Jason turned and asked in a low voice, room temperature dropping by ten degrees.
"Aaron… he forced himself on second sister… but Markus arrived on time and nothing much happened." Rose said in a weak voice, stressing on the last part.
"Where is Diamond now?" This was the first thing Jaosn asked.
"Second sister has already boarded a flight for A city. She will reach there within the next twenty minutes." Rose said.
"And where is he?" Jason asked next.
"He? Markus or Aaron?" Rose asked doubtfully.
"Both actually." Jason said a low voice.
"Markus is returning with Second sister. Aaron has been arrested by city police." Rose replied.
"Arrested?" Jason asked.
Thus Rose ended up briefing Jason on the entire scene.
"Make sure that Aaron won't be alive to see tomorrow's sunrise." Jason said and left the room.
'Wasn't this the reason I was not telling you about Second sister? We are being chased and need to lay low for now. But if we are to go out and murder Aaron, won't they chase us easily?' Rose thought frustratedly.
*HALF HOUR LATER, MARKUS's HOUSE, C CITY*
Kizy felt warm the moment she entered the house, being greeted by all the servants, old chef, butler and Markus's men.
"Welcome back young miss!!" All of them said cheerfully.
After all, it was only when their young miss would be around when their boss would have mercy on them and treat them as normal humans.
"Do you want anything in particular for dinner?" Markus asked.
"Why?" Kizy asked, remembering Aaron had asked her the same question before cooking the dishes himself.
"I will ask the kitchen to prepare them." Markus answered casually, shattering Kizy's hopes, who was expecting Markus to cook something.
"Okay." She replied monotonously.
"Tell quickly. Then go and freshen up. I will ask them to serve our dinner soon." Markus said.
"Anything is fine." Kizy said and went climbing the stairs.
'Actually this is the Markus I know. Who is never all lovey dovey and acting cheesy, yet cares for me.' Kizy thought while entering the bedroom, a smile blooming on her face.
She felt nostalgic the moment she stepped inside the bedroom, remembering it was almost two months since she was missing this bedroom badly.
Even when sharing bed with Aaron, she was always reminded of Markus and this bed, every single thing existing in this bedroom.
"Welcome back Kizy." She said to herself deciding to leave Aaron and his memories behind.
Meanwhile on the first floor, Markus loosened his tie and sat on the sofa.
"Joel." He called in a deadly cold voice, which indicated there would be something disastrous soon.
