"Your team? The one I gave you or the one you won over?" Aaron asked.
"Won over." Kizy replied.
"Still at hotel." Aaron replied.
"But why? Shouldn't they accompany me wherever I go?" Kizy asked.
"Yes they should. But not at my base. Here we have many others to accompany you, including the team I gave you." Aaron said without much thought.
.
"I want them here." Kizy demanded.
"I can agree to any other requests, but not this one." Aaron said sternly.
"But they are already our men!!" Kizy retorted.
"How long have they been our men? A month? Is this time period enough to lose their loyalty for the Evans?" Aaron backfired.
"But I want-" Kizy was speaking when Aaron cut off.
"Not this one baby girl." He said.
Kizy wanted to refuse but suddenly an idea came to her mind.
"Ok then at least I want to meet them once a week. My team would be trained by me only." Kizy said firmly, with no grounds for refusal.
Aaron thought for a minute before just nodding his head, though a little unwillingly.
The next few days were pretty normal for her. She would wake up with a huge stuffed panda by her side, freshen up, accompany Aaron wherever needed, have her meals and sleep again.
And this was exactly what she hated the most. She wasn't one of those women who could stay at home 24×7. She wanted to do work, work for herself and then live independently.
But she wanted Aaron to trust her. To believe in her completely, so that he will eventually reveal all the base information to her, so that she could plan her steps ahead.
Right now, neither she had a plan, nor she knew how things would turn out. She just wanted all this fiasco to end soon.
On the other hand, not only Joel, but every single member of Evans' family was praying for Kizy to return soon, after being unable to bear with Markus's temper.
*EVANS MANSION, A CITY*
"What is wrong with this document? Even the figures have been mentioned till the exact amount. What else do you need?" Grandpa shouted at Markus.
Company's Vice CEO due to his fear for Markus had come seeking help from Grandpa, help to pass his resignation to Markus, his boss.
"I don't like the proposal." Markus said absentmindedly, not in the least mood to discuss why he rejected the plan with zero errors.
"Then you should have told this before the process of documentation. The company wouldn't have invested so much time and energy over it." Grandpa shouted.
This time Markus didn't even reply, not caring what his grandpa shouted.
"You useless child!! The company will have no employees if you continue with that stupid temper of yours." Grandpa scolded.
"Enough of scolding you old man. My grandson is in a foul mood. So stop nagging." Grandma said from the side.
"You keep quiet. It is because of your unnecessary pampering that he has developed such a temper. I need to discipline him now." Grandpa said.
"He doesn't need your discipline guidance. What he needs is his wife. Can't you see that?" Grandma said, even smiling a little.
And that's when Markus's expression turned a little unnatural.
"What has that stupid woman got to do with this?" Markus retorted.
"Dare you call her stupid again." Grandpa raised his voice again.
"Yeah of course. She is your real grand daughter while I was adopted from the streets." Markus said irritatedly.
Grandma saw how frustrated Markus looked and signalled grandpa to take him inside the study.
"You follow me." Grandpa said to Markus, after understanding grandma's gestures.
"For your disciplinary action?" Markus asked.
"Just do what I say." Grandpa said in a stern voice before leaving for his study.
Markus was still contemplating whether to follow his grandpa when grandma said.
"Go quickly. This is something really important. Even more important than your company." Grandma said in a serious voice.
And thus, left with no other option, Markus followed behind grandpa to his study, though no flying objects were used to welcome him this time.
"Don't do your sneak attacks. I am not in the mood." Markus said as soon as he entered.
"I wasn't intending to do one." Grandpa said, chuckling a little.
"So what is it?" Markus went straight to the point.
"I heard that nowadays, Kizy is easily texting Jack without any problems. Is that true?" Grandpa asked.
"Yeah. That piece of shit is trusting her idiotic acting. So he is giving her a lot of free time in between." Markus said.
"Then what if my men distract him for sometime and you meet Kizy?" Grandpa asked.
"Are we changing some plans? Is there any movement from his side?" Markus asked, this time becoming serious.
"No. No change of plans." Grandpa said.
"Then what is this visit about?" Markus asked in a confused tone.
Grandpa coughed a little awkwardly and cleared his throat before continuing.
"We thought that you should meet Kizy." Grandpa said.
"Why should I meet her? And who is included in your 'we'?" Markus asked.
"We mean me and your grandma. We thought it would be good for you to meet your wife." Grandpa said.
"But why should I meet her unnecessarily. Won't it alert him?" Markus asked, still confused about what his grandpa meant.
"You see.. cough.. we have our needs.. cough cough… we men have our personal physical needs… so we thought that maybe… maybe you should meet your wife and have your… cough… quality time… that will definitely help improve your mood… you see your temper-" Grandpa was still speaking when Markus interrupted.
"Wait. Wait a minute. You mean my temper is because of my physical needs? Huhhh.. seriously… Grandpa-" Markus halted, not knowing whether he should laugh or cry at his grandparents' way of thinking.
"No, not like that. But you know, maybe you will feel happy and energized-'' Grandpa was once again cut off by Markus.
"I. Am. Not. Going." Markus said each word pressingly and quickly stood up before leaving the study room hurriedly, not wanting to stay there with his grandpa for another minute.
But one could see that the usually cold and dominant mafia boss had turned red like a tomato, his forehead covered in sweat while leaving the room. Maybe this was the first time Markus was flustered like this.
If Kizy had seen Markus this way, it would be hard for her to accept that even her devil had such rare shy baby moments.
"Markus are you going-" Grandma immediately stood up and spoke but Markus didn't even wait and walked past her, ignoring her presence completely.
"Markus, Markus." His grandparents called from behind but Markus quickly entered his car, and without even waiting for his driver, he started the engine, driving the car by himself.
"What did you tell him? He wasn't even ready to pause for a moment?" Grandma asked in a complaining voice.
"Exactly what we had discussed. I think he must be feeling shy and that is why he left." Grandpa said, trying to shift the blame.
"Embarrassed? And my grandson? No chance. He has to be the most thick skinned person to rule the position he has." Grandma said proudly.
"Is this something you should flaunt and speak proudly about?" Grandpa asked awkwardly.
"You just go back to your study and go through those files your grandson has left unattended." Grandma spoke and left with a huff.
'Why is everyone yelling at me?' Grandpa thought to himself before going back unwillingly to his study, cleaning the mess his loving grandson had left at company.
Meanwhile Markus on the other hand sped past all red lights, not caring about the law. Not that he followed the law normally though.
'What do they think of me? Do I look like some desperate man who can't bear to remain separated from his wife for even such a short time?
And what's with the physical needs? Aren't they thinking way ahead? Do they even know that I haven't done anything beyond kissing?
Wait. I should never let them know about this or both of them will first send me and Kizy to honeymoon for months!!
But come to think of it. We have been married for almost eight months. Yet the most intimate we were was only kisses. Is that what grandpa said? I am getting frustrated because of this?' Markus thought, doubting himself.
"No wait a minute. I am Markus. The great Markus who started ruling the underworld at the age of 26!! I won't lose control of my temper over such petty issues!!" Markus said out loud, as if trying to convince himself more instead of just speaking casually.
*AARON's BASE, C CITY*
It had been about two weeks since Kizy and Aaron started living at his base.
Kizy was as usual scrolling through her phone while Aaron was typing something on his laptop. He had become a little busier after assuming the position of government official.
Both of them were busy with their own work when Aaron received a call.
"Why Raymond?" Aaron said.
"What the hell!! Wait for us." Aaron shouted and ended the call.
