Markus and Kizy who were about to lose their control instantly came back to present, embarrassed as well.

Kizy quickly pushed Markus away, her cheeks turning red from embarrassment as her heart was racing wildly.

And Markus, no less flustered, scratched his head, not knowing what to do.

“Carry that carefully next time.” Markus pretended to scold the maid before taking long strides towards Andrew’s room.

“Pfffttt!!” Andrew welcomed Markus in his room with a hearty laughter.

“What are you laughing about??” Markus barked at Andrew.

“I just wanted to check that both you and Kizy won’t fight. Who would have known that you will be witnessed by your maid in such an awkward scene.” Andrew said, still laughing hard.

“Yeah and you were eagerly waiting for something like that to happen.” Markus said, his mood still foul.

*2 PM, UNITY HOSPITAL*

Nina and Joel were sitting in the hospital cafeteria, air surrounding them seeming dull.

“Nina, I have already exposed everything in front of you. Why are you hellbent on your decision even then?” Joel said as gently as he could.

Ever since Kizy and Markus had experienced Professor’s cruelty first hand with both of them ultimately ending in hospital, Nina had started to question Kizy and Joel.

Though she wasn’t pressing on them.for the truth, but somewhere both Kizy and Joel.felt that they needed to be honest for their relationship to remain strong.

Hence both of them had already started briefing her on the kind of lives and jobs they did.

Over the past few months, Nina was well aware of the underground and was gladly accepting Kizy and Joel for what they were.

However today, when Joel decided to make it all clear and end their relationship, she was dead set to not do so.

“Joel, I have been hearing about all this stuff for quite some time now. We have already discussed that psychotic professor a lot of times as well. Then why do you want to break up with me now? It’s not like this is your first mission since we started our relationship.

There were a lot of times when the missions were tough and you were worried but you still came out healthy and safe.

So what is different this time? Why do you want to leave me forever?” Nina questioned, trying to remain as calm headed as she could.

“I don’t know Nina. It’s just that I don’t feel like doing this anymore. I don’t want to trouble you more than this. You have had enough. It’s not like I can not see the sadness you are masking every time I am leaving for a mission.

You deserve a much better man, definitely better than someone like me who makes you worried all the time.” Joel said, his voice diminishing at the end.

Nina took a deep breath, as if done with Joel’s speech. She counted till three in her mind, a habit she practiced whenever she needed to compose herself, before holding Joel’s hand, placing her hand over his.

“Look at me.” Nina said in her usual calm and sweet voice, making Joel look at her.

“No matter what you do, how much ever you make me worried or how much troubles we both have to face together, I am never leaving you.

The day you asked me out was the day I decided to stick to you like a ghost and I am definitely not giving up on such an outstanding man.

In fact I was about to talk about us to my mom and dad. So go and come back quickly. You have to meet my mom and dad once you return.” Nicole said in a cheerful voice, making Joel feel a weird sensation in his chest.

“Why are you so sweet?” Joel said, literally questioning his entire life about whether he saved a galaxy or maybe an entire universe to have Nina by his side.

“Just come back early and safe. I want to introduce my boyfriend in his healthiest state.” Nina said with a blooming smile.

“Sure.” Joel said while pulling her cheeks making them tomato red.

“Joel! Stop doing that!!” Nina exclaimed as Joel pulled them even more resulting in Nina slapping on his chest, though it was too gentle for Joel who was used to bullets and weapon fights.

The couple eventually hugged each other before Joel left to join the teams called by Markus and prepare for tomorrow’s departure.

*NEXT DAY, MARKUS’s BASE, A CITY*

Markus had already instructed all his men about the mission they were about to begin.

To stop attracting any attention as well as to trick the Imperial nation, his teams were divided into groups of three.

One of them would be boarding private planes and helicopters, the other taking the sea route while the last ones were to take the land route and join the sea route at the end.

With one final instruction all those black commandos left together, Marlus and others departed as well.

“Take care.” Grandpa said to Kizy while grandma and Mary simply hugged her, not knowing what else to speak.

Markus was looking expectantly at grandpa, who took a step toward him.

“Return early. We will be waiting.” Grandpa said before hugging his grandson, making Markus feel his warmth.

“Make sure that my great grandchild is well taken care of.” Grandma said while Mary simply rubbed his head and hugged him tight.

With that the family separated, Markus and Kizy taking their private vehicle.

Kizy was strictly made to sit in the passenger seat with a seat belt tied. Markus had already decided to not leave her side for even a second as he took a seat next to her.

Once the engine was started, Markus looked at Kizy.
