“I will be going there for sometime. But don’t worry much about the situation.” Markus said.

“How long will it take though?” Kizy questioned.

“I am not sure wifey. But most probably at least a month or two. Because I already asked my team to search for evidence about the murder, but they haven’t found anything yet. That’s why I need to go there personally and see what exactly is going on.” Markus explained.

“I will accompany you.” Kizy said, stubborn as ever.

“No.” Markus immediately replied, not letting Kizy get her way this time.

“Why not? As you said, you feel that someone is deliberately creating this situation. It means they want you to visit the branch. Why would you go there alone then? Let me tag along with you.” Kizy said, trying to convince Markus.

“And what if it is similar to the Professor’s plan? What if they hurt you again? Kizy, trust me, I have seen you in the worst condition and experienced hell myself while doing that. I don’t want to go through that torture again. So please don’t make it hard for me. Just stay healthy here till I return.” Markus said, trying to reassure Kizy.

“So do you want me to experience that? Markus, if something happens to you, I’ll be blaming myself for the entire life!! Why not just go together and face whatever it is side by side. Won’t I feel more secure while having you by my side, instead of staying here, with a sense of insecurity?” Kizy asked, her pitch raising.

“Love, please understand. This was the best solution I could think of. And I will make sure that you never feel insecure here. I have already tightened the security at our places, in fact not just places but entire A city. If anyone was to enter A city, I would be the first one to be notified about it.

So rest assured, till the time you are there in A city, nobody will be able to touch you without my permission.

But it is different in case of other places. This branch is situated in Country F. It is faraway from our place and I cannot take my entire team there along with us. So the best option is for me to go and handle the situation there while you will be watching over our business at the main branch.” Markus tried to convince Kizy politely, hoping she would give up.

“Markus I am coming along with you. And that’s final. You can’t convince me with all this!!” Kizy said, tears brimming her eyes while she stood up and ran out of the house.

“Kizy!! Kizy, where are you going? Stop right there.” Markus said while chasing behind her.

“Don’t follow me! How can you think so selfishly Markus? Stay away from me!” Kizy said, entering one the cars that was parked in front of the house, before speeding away.

Markus who was confused by her sudden outburst still decided to follow Kizy, knowing her horrible driving, that too when she was not in her right state.

But what he couldn’t understand was that Kizy was a woman with a high IQ and accurate instincts.

Though he had hidden a lot of information from her, it wasn’t hard for Kizy to deduce the severity of the situation.

Thus she had started crying, cause first of all, Markus was hiding something from her.

Secondly, this was the first time when Markus had stopped Kizy from accompanying him. No matter how much Markus rejected, at the end Kizy always had accompanied Markus, but this time he wasn’t listening at any cost.

Thirdly, she had a bad feeling about this entire situation. Thus she wanted to stand along with Markus, while he would solve the issue. She hadn’t felt so negative since their last encounter with the professor.

Hence all these things were making her lose control over her emotions, and finally she cried.

She just drove wherever she found the path, wiping her tears away, while barely managing to not crash into other vehicles.

Even she herself knew that she shouldn’t be behaving so unreasonably. In fact it would have been better to talk calmly over this topic, just what Markus was doing.

But the past few days with Markus, staying by his side 24

/7 had made Kizy believe in her wish – to stay by Markus’s side forever.

Yet this sudden situation had been a total shock, cause she knew, in their field, one never knew if you are laughing your heart out at one moment and another you are lying on a hospital bed, not knowing if you would be able to get up tomorrow.

Plus the professor had been too quiet for the past few days. And she knew that this was silence before the storm.

Thus she wanted no risk at present. She could understand Markus’s concern, but she didn’t want to follow his command.

‘How can he be so selfish? Thinking that making me stay here, safe and sound while he would always be surrounded by dangers will be a better option. But what about me? Can’t he put himself in my shoes and give this a thought? I don’t know anything. I am following him, whether he wants it or not!” Kizy thought while increasing her speed.

Suddenly a black car overtook her and stopped right in front of her, making Kizy crash right into the car.

“MARKUS!!” Kizy shouted before immediately removing her seatbelt and running towards the black car.

She opened the door, only to see Markus with his head resting on the steering.

“Are you hurt??” Kizy asked in a panicked voice, tears flowing down her face.

“Naahh! Stop crying little lamb. I am alright.” Markus said, ignoring his pounding headache while hugging Kizy.

“How can you be so crazy? Why did you stop here when you could see that I had increased my speed. Why are you always putting your life on risk for me!!” Kizy said, finally losing it and crying loudly.
