The Professor had poured red poison over his face, making him scream like a pig, before convulsing and ultimately dying a terrible death.

The poison had damaged his facial bones within seconds, before entering his brain and destroying it entirely.

His eyes, half dissolved, were still looking terrified at the Professor’s direction even at the moment of death. The poison had corroded his face, making his nose and skull bone visible, while a few rotten pieces of facial muscles were hanging around the face.

“Unfortunately I didn’t like your news man!! What a waste of my masterpiece though.” The professor said while looking towards the dead man, as two guards silently entered and picked up his body.

One of the men was literally shivering, as the man was none other than his best friend. His friend was made in charge of reporting every single detail about Kizy.

And his friend had simply performed his duty, informing the Professor about the same. But this is how he was met with being responsible.

The previous man in charge for the same task was killed for not informing about Kizy’s fake relationship with Aaron. While the one previous to this was killed for informing about Markus and Kizy.

So no matter whether they tried to keep it a secret or tried to convey the message in polite terms, the only response they were met with was death.

He was internally crying while moving his dead friend’s body when suddenly the Professor stopped them.

“Wait. You.” Professor said, pointing towards the man who was friends with the dead man.

“Yes Professor.” The man said keeping the body down and instantly kneeling, while the other man followed as well.

“You will be responsible for updating me about Hazel. Is that clear?” Professor said his tone was nonchalant.

“Yes professor.” Knowing that it was better to survive a few more days than an early death by rejecting the Professor now, the man replied unwillingly, though his tone was only respectful.

“Good.” Professor said, and next moment, the second man was stabbed by a golden dagger, making him breath his lasts within minutes.

“You think you can fool me? If you don’t want to obey my orders, then you are more than welcome to die.” Professor said while looking towards the last man who was kneeling.

“So what do you think?” Professor said while looking towards the shivering man.

“I will update you on the news regarding Madam Hazel.” The man said immediately, not wanting to be a corpse like both the men lying in front of him.

“That’s better.” The Professor said before leaving the hall while the man was left trembling between two dead bodies.

*7 PM, GAZEBO HOTEL, A CITY*

Markus and Kizy had invited all their friends and family members of the younger generation to celebrate the anniversary in their own way.

Both Markus and Kizy had changed into more comfortable couple outfits by ‘Purple’.

The invited members included Felix, Lisa, Lewis, Catherine, Ruth, Joel, Jack, Alex, Nicole, Nina, Jason, Victor, Rose and Harry.

In short, all the members who were near and dear to both Kizy and Markus were invited.

A long table was placed for all the members to sit, two seats at each on extreme sides as Markus didn’t want to play the host alone.

Hence Both Kizy and Markus were sitting at the host side, while Kizy made sure that none of the members were uncomfortable with the sitting arrangement.

As usual Felix, Lisa, Lewis and Catherine had taken adjacent seats while Nicole sat next to Catherine. Nina was next to Nicole.

Ruth and Joel sat opposite to Kizy and Markus, with Ruth adjacent to Nina, both of them having fun conversation especially with Nicole around.

Jack and Alex took seats next to Joel, followed by Harry, Victor, Jason and Rose.

This way Markus was next to Felix while Kizy to Rose. Initially Rose had asked Jason to sit next to Kizy, but he refused, not wanting to make it awkward, especially after relations between him and Markus had improved after the hospital visit.

All the members were having fun, chatting random topics while enjoying the food in between.

“Aren’t you being way too stingy today?” Suddenly Felix said, making all the members stop the conversation.

“Why?” Markus asked, as usual talking as little as he could.

“Be generous and let us have some drinks man!! We all know you are filthy rich. Spending a few more bucks won’t hurt your wallet.” Felix replied, giving Markus a mean look.

“No alcohol. Have mocktails and juices. Or milkshakes maybe.” Markus said while stifling his laughter, knowing his friends were never used to such parties.

No matter what event it was, none of their parties were celebrated without alcohol. And somehow these two were big fans of expensive alcohol. They were always liberal while spending on drinks and food, though they never lacked money to not do so.

“Let them have whatever they want.” Kizy whispered to Markus, not understanding why he would reject his own friends.

“If it was only their group, I would have allowed them. Because I know their tolerance. But we have other guests as well. What if they are unable to hold it well? What if they get drunk and act stupidly like some particular person who has very, very, very low, poor, pathetic tolerance.” Markus said while looking at Kizy meaningfully.

“You!” Kizy said with a pout, knowing he was referring to her.

“Guys, guys we are still here. At least don’t treat us like invisible people and start your own PDA!” Lisa said exaggeratedly.

“Let them have drinks. If they get drunk, we can just send them back early.” Kizy said.

Markus thought for a moment before speaking.

“But I have one condition.” Markus said.

“Don’t worry I won’t drink.” Kizy said, already knowing what her husband was about to say.

“Promise?” Markus questioned.

“Yes Mr. Devil!” Kizy said frustratedly while Markus called the waiter, ordering drinks for the entire table.
